The go-to spot for a cheap pint in Central London! And the interior's pretty nice tooUpvote8Downvote
DavidJune 16, 2015Beautiful dining room in the first floor. Very cozy and british atmosphere. Food is tasty and not too expensive at all. Friendly staff.

Duncan MetcalfeApril 3, 2014There's a dartboard in the far corner. Ask at the bar for the darts. And nobody can see the board itself unless they're playing, so if you're crap at darts, don't worry ;)Upvote5Downvote
Considering the very central location, you can get a pint of lager for just £2.20! (Alpine lager). Great large place, however crowded. Nice cosy dinning upstairs. Loving it.Upvote1Downvote
Aaron NgJune 9, 2019Nice cubicles at the sides to stash yourself and your mates away for good conversations.

Come here for a good old fashioned pint. Cheapest place to go for a drink in the Trafalgar Square area. There is an upstairs if downstairs seems busyUpvoteDownvote
Beth RobinsonAugust 20, 2013Great beer. Really cheap. A real drinking bar. Upstairs food is served and also tastes good and is cheap. Best pub in London.UpvoteDownvote
One of my favourite bars in London. Downstairs with the private booths, and upstairs for big couches. As with all other Samual Smiths, very very cheap beer (alpine larger isn't bad), especially for ceUpvote4Downvote
RuslanMarch 25, 2016Great value, the white label scotch is superb, just as the organic wheat bear and the dark stout.UpvoteDownvote

Rachael HarrisonAugust 27, 2018Classic Sam Smith's - there's a spacious upstairs and, as with many a central pub, it gets much quieter post 7pm ishUpvoteDownvote
GavinJuly 28, 2014Yorkshire beer, served with a Yorkshire head. And less than £3 a pint. What more could you want in Central London?UpvoteDownvote
Keith GreywoodJanuary 10, 2017Cosy Sam Smith's pub with upstairs area and varied clientele. Does have a log fire 🔥UpvoteDownvote
Gareth EllisSeptember 16, 2011Wonderful Sam Smith's pub...all their own beers, ales, etc. and it is very cheap - you can get a lovely pint for £2.50.Upvote2Downvote
Tasty organic cherry beer, great cheap homemade ales. Come after a long National Gallery wandering.

A banker of a spot to meet, and wonderful place to drink if you're after a bar that smells of beer...UpvoteDownvote
My absolute favourite pub in London. Obscenely central, cheap Bitter, and there's always a free table.UpvoteDownvote
James CannJanuary 12, 2011Go to the upstairs bar if it's more than 4 deep at the downstairs bar. Bar staff will clear 3 deep in 4mins, they're fast. But 4mins may feel like forever if it's your first of the night. JCUpvoteDownvote
Mimi JenkinsSeptember 21, 2014Great atmosphere! Love the upstairs. Sam Smith's pint best in town!UpvoteDownvote
Ellie BelcherJanuary 22, 2012Really nice pub, cheap and the staff don't mind if you play board games or do some crafty activities with your friends.UpvoteDownvote
Antonio BarbosaSeptember 11, 2011One of, if not the most, inexpensive pubs in London. You won't find the brands you're used to though :). All local stuff.UpvoteDownvote
Jennifer CarterSeptember 27, 2014Cheapest decent beer/pub chain in London - Sammy Smiths breweryUpvoteDownvote
