Coach & Horses in City of London, Westminster

One of the best pints of Guinness outside of Ireland. They do a really good hot sandwich as well, beef, ham etc. old school pub inside which can get really busy but for good reasons with a good outside bit to stand and people watch. Do not walk past this pub without stopping for a pint.

A place to go if you're near Covent Garden Garden!! A good selection of beers, including London Pride as well as friendly staff. A nice design with lots of old pictures of things such as sports etc.

Excellent bar with great service. Good options for standing outside.

The best Guinness 👌 ( according to hubby)A small menu, but the hot ham sandwiches are delicious!

This is the beer restaurant I went to for the second time after eating a lot of dinner. The good thing about this place is that they only sell alcohol and no snacks. The Guinness beer is completely different from the one I had in Korea. It's really soft... I tend to drink a lot of Asahi beer. The Guinness beer I had in London was the best. And I ate one because it was recommended. This is delicious too. The staff is friendly. Please take away the empty beer glasses.

Best pub in Covent Garden, super friendly staff. Great atmosphere

Excellent staff and lovely atmosphere

Went Saturday lunch time very busy luckily we got a seat

Best authentic London pub in Covent Garden.

Superb Guinness. I'm happy to get liver failure if it's like this all the time. Top stuff.

It's very small and noisy. No food available at the time we went. A great place to meet friends for a quick drink but could not spend an evening there.

Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. I like it a lot.

Superb pint of the black stuff. Cozy old school pub.

Top quality Guinness. Lovely atmosphere on a week night. Good, quick service

Great atmosphere and one of the best Guinness I have tried in London. Frothy head, clean tasting and poured the correct way! Thank you! ☺️

Recommended by a friend for the Guinness....and by God...it did NOT fail to deliver. Absolutely gorgeous pint..stayed for a few too, and a lovely feel to the place too..may I add helped by the amazing bar staff Sean and his colleagues

Said by many to be the finest pint in London Town. Is it? It's not far off. Barstaff are amazing and pint specialists. The pub itself is lovely too. I'm visiting every Irish pub on earth, and the Coach and Horses is rightly amongst the finest

I have completed my London Guinness Tour and this place is right up there - in my top 3 in London and Michael knows how to pour a pint of Guinness - Creamy and consistant with a domed head - just how we like it - Highly recommended !

Fantastic pub, Fantastic service, great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and definitely return.

Great little pub not far from the lion king. Traditional pub serving a great range of beer. Really cosy and a nice atmosphere.

The best Guinness in London... Probably

Great place and lovely creamy Guinness.

Traditional English pub selling a range of beers. Busy but what do you expect in Covent Garden. A refreshingly traditional and no-fuss pub in a sea of fancy, overpriced bars.

We, a german and a danish tourist, had a great time at this place. Nice barman and nice guests. A small and cozy plac with good beer.

Small pub, but so cosy. Friendly staff. Good beer. The Guinness was among the best we tasted. 👍😊

Highly recommend the sandwiches and the Guiness, of course.

Good pint of guinness and great atmosphere!

Mia the bartender was the sweetest girl ever! I was wearing heels and she gave me bandaids because I had blisters. She was truly the best and looking out for all her customers. She made the experience here so great!

Small but was able to get a table after a short wait. Customers don't stay long but it was a good atmosphere and had attentive staff.

Cosy, traditional pub just off of Covent Garden market. Best pint of Guinness in London. Enough said.

Had a couple of pints of Guinness. Very good

Convivial atmos, small room, Guinness -renowned ( although we weren’t overly impressed with the Guinness here). Nevertheless, one of my favourites in the Covent Garden area.

I came here for the Guinness like everyone else. How does the Guinness compare I hear you say.. well, it was really good. I can’t say if it’s the best I’ve had outside of St James Gate but I had a few so it’s not bad. The Guinness is poured well, the glasses spotless and a good head on it. It’s definitely one of the best looking pints of Guinness I’ve had. Was just about £6.60 for a pint of Guinness It’s a very popular pub (inside and out) so you may have to push your way to the bar but the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good. I will come back next time I’m up in London.

Wow what a pub amazing Guinness definitely best tasted outside of Ireland and fantastic whisky choices absolutely lovely staff and the food looked really good definitely will be back

Great pub with wonderful service. It has been this good for the 25 years plus that me and friends have been going there.

I've been going here for 15 it's the only pub I'll visit. Friends, great staff who are all friends & the salt beef is delicious 🤤😋

Great friendly Irish bar. Great Guinness, great lunch time sandwiches, salt beef, ham etc.. Very friendly, competent and efficient staff.

Small but didn't get too crowded

Outstanding classic pub feel and an even better pint of holy water.

One of the best Guinness pints in town. Perfect for pre/post theatre drinks.

Absolutely delicious pints of Guinness in here. Warm and cosy pub with very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a decent pint of Guinness in central London.

Great pint of Guinness. Unfortunately kitchen closed at 7pm so no chance to sample the food

Amazing pub in heart of Covent Garden. Great atmosphere, nice and friendly staff, an amazing owner and probably the best Guinness I ever had!!! Highly recommended and will definitely be back

Great pub with a friendly team working in and great owners who are always there to welcome their guests! Best Guinness definitely, thank you Sean and Jodie, see you soon ❤️

Tiny little pub located just off Covent Garden. This intimate venue is known for the best Guinness outside kid Ireland. Friendly staff and service with more than 70 whiskeys on offer. Good selection of beers, but you'd want to try their Guinness! I don't think there is food served.

Definitely best Guinness I've had in London, great patrons and Irish atmosphere !

Never got a chance to go in. The guard on the door shook his head as soon as we locked eyes. I had a ridiculous hat on from Junkyard golf place we went to for Christmas due. I might have looked ridiculous but not scary. We got a drink anyway because one of the people I was with used to manage a pub there and knew the personnel. We had it outside.

Had the Christmas dinner set menu, all the courses were delicious

Visited yesterday & the venue was heaving with great atmosphere. Best guinness. Staff very efficient. Served straight away.

"Excellent" Guiness on tap. Old school traditional pub.

Great pub, always busy and excellent pint

Old school boozer in the heart of Covent Garden. Fast bar, standing space only, and an unreal pint of Guinness!

Great Guinness. Great vibe. Great beer. Great.

Best pint of Guinness in London, brilliant service and very well kept beers. Spot on. Our visiting friends loved it.

Great place in Covent Garden with a grown up crowd. Helpful and friendly staff (including the gentleman at security)

Best pub and best staff in London, hands down P.S. obviously can't miss with the Guinness pour 💕

Best Guinness I've had in London

one of the best pubs in London. nice waiters, good Guinness and a good atmosphere. they also show sport events like the rugby world cup and similar.

Chouette endroit. Surtout les serveurs très sympa 😊… pour boire un verre c’est top ! Merci

Brilliant pub with a great atmosphere, a very varied choice of craft beers and lagers but it has to be the best pub in London for Guiness, absolutely outstanding.

Wonderful bar in the heart of covent garden tradition at its best

Busy and friendly pub in Covent Garden with superior Guinness apparently, more of a red wine person myself....

Great Guinness. A queue of punters waiting outside for it to open speaks for itself. IMO the best pub in London.

Excellent Guinness, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

Brilliant place with Brilliant staff

No music makes this place a gem or a boring old schooler I cant be sure. No kitchen, so dont expect any bar food besides the nuts. There are nice craft beers though. At the time of this review the IPAs were £7+ I guess all prices increased recently. Nothing more I can tell.

Best Guinness I've tasted in London.

Absolutely one of the best pints of Guinness in London.

Small busy pub, friendly staff and a decent Guinness at not a bad price considering where you are. Decent ales and lager worth a visit

The Guinness here is to die for. Absolute perfection.

Showing some distant cousins from Philadelphia US around London all the sights and after a long day walking, wanted to show them a traditional London pub, it was 1630 and it was heaving, what a great atmosphere and the best pint of guiness ever (evidently renowned for it) absolutely brilliant at the end of a great day

Usually the Guinness is top notch in the Coach & Horses, but it was a little below Par on last visit.

The Guinness here is the the best in London and that’s a fact. Great pub fantastic Guinness which is regularly poured and poured correctly !! Brilliant little boozer worth a visit.

Stopped on to watch a game and it was a friendly atmosphere with a decent selection of beer and cider.

Good pint of Guinness. Prob 8.1/10. £6.60 a pint.

Absolutely perfect Guinness. What more could you ask for. Was recommended by a friend, so we all went down. Thought we were staying for one, we stayed for at least 3!!!

Petit bar très typique de Londres et de l’Angleterre servant des bières et des sandwichs. Les sandwichs sont fait maison et sur place avec de la viande de bonne qualité qui ne demande qu’à être dégustée. Le sandwich coûte tout de même 12£ ce qui est assez cher tout de même.

No construction workers allowed, place smelt like wet dog. Was full of woke people and tree huggers 👍

🚇Covent Garden 🍺 £5.80 Amstel ❤️ A welcoming family run Freehouse. . The Coach & Horses is located opposite the Royal Opera House in a quiet side street on the edge of Covent Garden. The nearest Tube is Covent Garden which is a four minute walk away. . The pub dates back to the 1730’s, the current building was built in the early 19th century. This pub has been run by the same Irish family for the last forty years. . This is a cosy one bar boozer that feels welcoming and homely. The servery is situated on the left hand side and has a sturdy solid dark wood counter. The bar area seating is all stools and poser tables which works well in this busy little pub. The pale green walls are adorned with photos of pub celebrations, claims to fame and black and white scenes of times gone by. This pub boasts a red carpet, the cornerstone of any top London boozer. . The beer selection was good and included lots of familiar favourites, two cask ales and of course Guinness. The Guinness here is well celebrated, so much so that The Irish Post once voted the Guinness here as the best in Britain. If you are partial to a short, there are over 70 Irish whiskeys and gins plus Scottish whiskies too. I was on the lager all day so I decided on an Amstel, my pint was excellent, well kept and price point was average. The food is basically sandwiches – but what excellent sandwiches they are. Hot sausages, salt beef, roast beef and baked ham are all served on your choice of bread with gherkins and crisps on the side. . We arrived just after 4pm on a Saturday afternoon and the place was absolutely heaving. The atmosphere here was superb, the vibe was upbeat and buzzy. The crowd was a mix from all walks of life, the pub was as busy outside as in. The service was efficient, the team here were very much on the ball. . The Coach & Horses is one of the most hospitable pubs you’ll find anywhere around Central London, this is a must visit London pub. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 29.04.23

Its the best Guinness in London

If you drink Guinness this is the pub for you. I would highly recommend it. Proper pub, proper Guinness.

Cosy pub that attracts a mixed crowd with a few characters.

Super miejsce polecam zimne oryginalne irlandzkie piwko 🍻

Only sandwiches but they were great. Ideal pub just around the corner from Covent Garden

My child not welcome. But dogs are allowed.....

Stopped off for a quick drink passing through. As I was a Saturday afternoon it was very busy but didn't have to wait to get served. Staff do a good job considering the amount of people they are dealing with. Drink was good.

Best pub and best staff in Covent Garden simple🤷🏻‍♂️

Hands down the best Guinness in London. A wonderful, honest and very cheerful boozer just off the Tourist trail in London. Will be going back very soon!

Stopped in for a pint. Very cute and cozy inside. Lots of locals and regulars, it seemed, for a popular tourist area. Loved it. Will go back.

Best pint of Guinness in London

Cracking traditional pub, serving one of the best pints of Guinness in the city. Serves food at the bar which is always welcome to soak up a session or put down a layer. Highly recommend you drop in for a pint.

Have been drinking in this pub for a long time, its a proper traditional pub with a mixture of locals & non locals. The Coach is tiny & this is what makes it so great as everyone ends up chatting to the next person & usually ends up staying for far longer than they intended! The guiness here is some of the best but you will have to visit to make your own mind up.

Being a fellow irishman myself, from Galway, i was delighted to see it headlined.. best pint of Guinness, irish theme etc.. maybe a little piece of home. Definitely not the case, it might be owned by Irish people and have irish memorabilia but I was absolutely disgusted by the way a couple was treated, usually if a song breaks out in an IRISH pub, everyone joins in, especially if it's "Happy Birthday" but NO, not here, they were approached by staff, told to be quiet, refused drinks and escorted by security to leave, not only did the people in question apologise and leave without provocation, they were refused an honest explanation, I later found out the men were military personnel and the women nurse's, (well manored, decent, hardworking professionals) who dedicate their lives in protecting and caring for their country and its citizens, maybe because the women were Asian and the men of irish parent's, "a question of racism" . I would also like to point out that the Guinness was dreadful, glass was clean with no tide marks and quickly turned sour with brown appearance, if the Irish Post proclaimed this as the best pint in London then someone was paid a pretty penny to announce it, clear lies, falsely advertised, biased and should not by all means mention IRISH, this is not our way, if you like to have the craic and enjoy porter avoid this place like the plague.

I was told this was the best place to drink Guinness in London but TBH I had better from Waterloo earlier within the evening. As this pub was supposedly the Irish rendezvous for crac and banter, it was my friend's birthday, as you do we as a group of 4 decided to sing Happy birthday to cement a joyous occasion. However the young bar staff behind told our group to keep the noise down. I will be honest we were having fun and the volume was raised but not to the point of putting any other customers off. For god's sake its a pub, what do you expect. The bar staff refused to serve me when I approached to buy a round and when I asked the bar staff why? there response was complete ignorance. When I explained to them I feel offended that they were categorising me as a nobody there continued to ignore. To summarize, this isn't the best location in London for a Guinness it's another pitstop for your suited up worker to drown his figgures into a pint and jump onto adultworks to smash a brass with a semi. No need to take your friends and family for a birthday here as it's full of boring wannabe toffs and simpletons who have nothing good to say or do

My first time at the coach and horses! nice pub great beers. a very popular pub gets packed very quickly.

Pub never changes, been going there for 20 years or so. Still one of my favourite pubs.

Εξαίρετικο after noon tee με συνοδεία ζωντανής μουσικής. Αψογη εξυπηρέτηση. Ευγενικό προσωπικο.

We made a snap decision to go for food on a balmy June Tuesday night in Covent Garden and a sudden recollection that the Guiness Guru had reviewed the Coach & Horses 'chose' our pre dinner drinks venue!! They say dont meet your heroes, but the Coach & Horses didn't disappoint - great atmosphere, great service, and of course a very nice pint of Guiness. Sadly, we had to leave before 2 pints became a full-on session. Thoroughly recommended

The best Guinness by far that I have tried in London. Will go out of my way to call in to have one.

Always a warm welcome from the staff & great see old faces after 30 years service. Will be back.
