Garrick Arms in City of London, Westminster

Thank you Josh and Marcus for the amazing service and drink recomendation. We booked the table on a Sunday evening and you both coming over and making sure We have everything. You also were so kind and positive. My English wasn't that strong and making me feel comfortable to order the right things from the menu. I will definitely visit again and let me friends and family know. Whatta a star staff.

Very quiet, cozy and very nicely decorated pub. The service is top notch. Special mention for the bald bartender, super friendly and attentive. The meal was very good. I will come back with pleasure!

Josh's head is so smooth, hairless, and luscious, I love this man

Marcus’s service at the bar was excellent, He was super friendly and helpful, providing lots of info about the beer options being sold. The atmosphere was great too - we’ll be back again soon

This is a great buzzy pub in the centre of everything! The staff are all amazing - friendly and engaging - especially Marcos - what a lovely warm guy! Also the food is very good, would recommend the turkey pie

Really good pub, good vibe. Customer service is awesome. Shout out to Markus!

Met up with my family for a pre Christmas lunch. Nice atmosphere. Some food choices not available but we enjoyed what we had. Steaks, burgers and chilli.All very enjoyable and we will go again.

A lovely pub, great atmosphere and value for money. It was very busy so not easy to get a seat, but to be expected for a Saturday in the run up to Christmas.

The music was a bit noisy, compared to other eateries we tested this long weekend, apart from that the food and service were good.

Fun lively pub with great staff. Perfect pub night.

Absolutely nice pub, restaurant in SOHO!!

Busy pub just off Trafalgar Square

We had a disappointing experience at this pub. Upon arrival, we were told there were no available tables, which was understandable at first. However, after we decided to wait, it became clear that the issue wasn’t the lack of tables, but the fact that we had two small children with us. After tre minutes waiting time, we were told that if we wanted to order food, there would be a 45-minute wait. It felt like they were discouraging us rather than being honest about their capacity. While we understand that some places may not be fully equipped to accommodate families, the lack of transparency and the subtle message that families with kids aren’t welcome left a sour taste. A disappointing experience for what should have been a welcoming environment. Luca

Great environment, good beers, fast and friendly service.

If you are a tourist in London, this is one of the first stops. Delicious food and ice cold beers flowing from a variety of fountains. Polite and friendly staff, amazing tastes. Burger is the best💯

Marcus is very welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely, definitely recommend.

We only had a drink. Service was good. Would go back.

Good variety of alcohol, food was priced fairly, varied menu to suit everyone. Staff friendly, professional and helpful. Atmosphere in the pub great, suitable for families. Happy to recommend 😄

Marcus and Lousie are amazing. Great drinks, great Mac and Cheese. The services is the best in Mayfair/SOHO area. The Green Kings bars are amazing, they may have alot of different names but they are the same. Just look for the Green King name under the main name

We had a brilliant time, delicious wine, lovely service. Had the best evening in London tonight. The food was autentic and delicious.

Well placed in the heart of London's west end . First time visit as , other times not been able to get a table, it was well worth the wait. Plenty of people but plenty of tables , good long bar , didn't take long to be served. Good selection of food, dinner or lighter snacks , great selection of drinks, all food and drinks were reasonably priced. The staff, Markus and Ryan were very good and upbeat and friendly too. Its a Greene King pub , so menu is fairly standardised but was great as it is. We will definitely come here next time in London

They have a great service, the food is delicious in a nice portion, and a cozy place to spend quality time with friends or date

Medium size pub. Did not eat there. Good selection of drinks. Very enjoyable night.

Great pub,staff and service.....always go to Garrick for a quick drink or two and food before going off to theatre land❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very much enjoyed as a family all of the experience. Great food, great drinks, great location and and super friendly staff!

Marcos was a very helpful bartender. Gave me some great recommendations for beer and some wine for my wife.

This place totally wrecked what could have been an otherwise great evening (and great start to our first time in London). Myself and my partner went in during late afternoon (we booked a table in advance), so we could eat before a 7pm theatre show nearby. The order was short and simple: 1 pulled mushroom chilli, 1 meatpie with mash and 2 small garlic breads. Merely 45£ altogether. After more than 40 minutes, I had to pester the first nearby staff (a lovely Hungarian dude, didn't get his name), as no one else was bothering with keeping eye on food orders and dining customers. Only right before 7pm food came out, thus causing us to miss the beginning of the theatre show and having to throw away most of our food (theatre staff didn't allow food from outside). 45£ shorter and starved afterwards, not coming back to this place ever again. The only positive was the Hungarian barman, that's about it.

Pleasant pub with very high prices for drinks - did not stay to eat

What a horrible experience here at the Garrick Arms. I would say, at all costs, do not eat at this Pub. The Greene King menu looks lovely, but it doesn’t list that the food will be stone cold and absolutely disgusting at arrival. We even sat (after sending the food back) watching it sit on the side for 20 minutes. This undoubtedly proves the lack of care and disregard the staff show. Will not be attending again, very disappointed.

We had some beers and we were very comfortable

Lovely experience at The Garrick Arms! We booked a table online with ease. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food came out promptly, which was perfect since we were on a bit of a time crunch before heading to a musical nearby. Decent pub grub, great service and a convenient location – would recommend!

Excellent steak and ale pie. My partner had the fish and chips and she loved it too. A few different beers on tap, go to the bar and order for a wider selection. A really nice vibe inside.. really feels like a traditional London pub

I was in town for a concert (all the way from Canada) and wanted to eat some pub food on Charing Cross and stumbled upon the Cambridge. The food and service were great. And, might I say there was a super rude diner arguing about her bill to the 2 servers, and the servers could not have been more pleasant in trying to make her happy, despite her clearly being in the wrong. I really felt bad for them. Top pub. Thank you!

Great pub, great manager, great service. This is our go to pub pre theatre 👍👍👍

Situated in London's Covent Garden, Garrick Arms has a certain charm that immediately grabs you as you walk through the doors, with that classic British pub feel, replete with warm, panelled walls with stunning woodwork and intricate detailing that speaks of a time gone by. It's the sort of place that just oozes character, every nook and cranny telling a story, making you feel like you're in the living room of a British diplomat. All in all, the Garrick Arms is more than just a pit-stop for a swift half but the whole package - good drinks, food (their pulled pork with chips and chives is absolutely banging) top-notch service and a proper atmosphere for a British pub, right in the heart of the city!

Anil was a true gentleman who helped me out with some great cocktails and offered jis favourite dishes. Thank you very much for being so courteous, will return

Marcus in Leicester Square is a top guy. Really welcoming and sweet. Was lovely to chat to and gave us good cocktail reccomendations

Fun spot with great service, walking distance from Covet Garden. Friendly bartender who took time to explain beers in detail

Service and atmosphere is great. We had a 40 minute wait on food only to be served an undersized portion. I ordered the flat Iron Steak and was given 7 slices of steak already sliced and cool with 5 cherry tomatoes and a side of chips. Flavour was great but under proportioned for paying 17.95 pound. My friend had the pulled mushroom chilli and was also left unsatisfied.

Excellent food. Everything you expect from an English Pub. Very London atmosphere.

Top ambient and bar , the people from there is amazing . He ask for help to the beer and take a premiun explanation about . Delicious

Brilliant pub in a great location near the theatres and attractions near Leicester Square. We popped in for pre-dinner drinks and were greeted by the lovely manager, Paula. Despite the pub being pretty busy pre-theatre time, she was still going round tables, making sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed. Nice to have the personal touch in a busy London pub, doesn't always happen in other venues. Great atmosphere and service, we will definitely be back!

After receiving a response from Garrick Arms, I’m modifying my review. This could have been a miscommunication. Because the invitation was extended, we’ll be back to try their lunch deal again at the beginning of the year. “We stopped in to get the £10 lunch and drink advertised on the sign out front. It was to include a choice of about 5 items with a beer and or soft drink. I ordered a salad and an Amstel. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and an Amstel. The server gave us our beers and returned later with the very skimpy sandwich. My husband asked about my salad. It was ordered. Finally it came soaked in sweet dressing. I couldn’t eat it. Our bill came to be almost £50! When my husband questioned it we were told we were charged separately. Is this bait & switch typical at Piccadilly Circus?”

Beautiful old pub right in Theatre land next door to the Theatre of the same name. It's a pub you have a drink in before a show. It's quiet in the day and peaks before the show. Staff are friendly and it's got a good range of beers and wines.

Amazing Place super customer service

I came in just before last orders so I don't remember much, but service was good 😊

I have had no food just drinks 🍺🍺

huge fan of the atmosphere and drinks here! was only better having a chat with the bartenders Markus last night. as a fellow frenchman he really made me and my friends feel at home 🫶🏾

Manager (black framed glasses) needs training in customer service. Especially with paying customers. Will not be returning and would not recommend, if he still works there.

Food was stone cold, no onions on steak sandwich, bread was stale and dry.

Great atmosphere and I had a very good drink. I recommend this place😄

We were served by Paula and our whole experience was amazing. everything was 10/10

I came in for a beer with some mates and was given amazing service!! Paula looked after my friends and I, and she poured us a few brilliant pints! Highly recommend Paula and the Garrick Arms!

This was my first time at a pub when visiting London and while the food was pretty good, the blonde lady at the bar was unnecessarily rude. I asked a couple of questions about how to order and where to sit and she acted like she didn't want to be there. While it was an unfortunate first experience of customer service in London, the other two staff at the bar were super nice and welcoming.

Had a good football night, and the meal was delicious, I will definitely come back again

Most pathetic pub. Asked for a beefeater martini and the bartender said they don’t make martinis. Then bartender tried to explain that a martini was the brand martini ( the vermouth). Literally have no business serving liquor behind a bar

No smoking area, very small venue. Just go to moon under water if you want a wetherspoons!

Just ordered drinks, nice atmosphere.

customer service was bad, the two girls at the bar didn’t even greet us or smile. the bartenders didn’t ask what kind of vodka we would prefer, and looked upset when we later specified what we wanted. the drink doesn’t have any alcohol in it. we paid for doubles and got just juice.

Pulagh is the best tender in London

Good spot for some food and drinks. Great for individuals or groups. Great service.

Aperol spitz is £9.00 the bar staff are delightful and it’s music is quiet enough to have a conversation

The bar was busy but had only 1 person taking the order and he was overwhelmed. The service was not friendly at all.

Too crowed , rare to find a seat had to wait 45 mins and sniper a table when it was available . For god sake don't sit by the door

It was really lovely! Thank you so much Paula!!!

Nice place, with good food and the barmaids were really nice. Maybe just the air conditioning was a bit too cold for me

Very pleasant atmosphere, the stuff is professional, kind and welcoming! I really enjoyed the food and the drinks. I will definitely be back ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently visited The Garrick Arms, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This pub has everything you could hope for: a warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service. The manager, a lovely blondy lady whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, truly made our visit outstanding. Her attentive and friendly demeanor added a personal touch that made us feel right at home. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her customers' experience and runs the pub with a high standard of excellence. With its fantastic food, superb service, and the lovely manager ensuring everything runs smoothly, it's a place you'll want to visit again and again.

Loud and bustling! Perfect for a post Red Eye pint and cod & chips.

This pub is a nice pub in the tourist central area of soho - we ventured in here on the way to somewhere else as it looked cute and cosy with its lit fairy lights on a rainy day! It was pretty crowded after work time but we managed to get a nice little table! I then waited 10 minutes at an empty bar for somebody to turn up by which point I was charged £9 for two cokes and that combination drops it to the low rating and will result in sadly no return

Jesus, don’t move your chair to the wrong end of the bar!!! Blonde haired bar person is angry as a wasp!!! About as welcome as a breeze block to be face!! Mantra, be happy in your job or leave it, have you ever been to customer service school??? You’re kind of in the business…

Foods nice , staff are super friendly. Only negative is the bathrooms are cramped beyond belief

Very friendly and welcoming waitress, who takes the time to explain and help you despite the crowd. All the staff are very pleasant and the food is excellent! Steak and ale pie, and Sunday roast excellent!

Horrible service. Never stepping foot in there again. A waitress that was scolding us for even ordering a diet coke

Good food, big amount and friendly service. Recommend it!

Had a great evening at the Garrick Arms. The best service from the lovely Rowanne.

For being one of the busiest areas in one of the busiest cities in the world, you would not expect to feel at home in a busy pub. But Amina does this to the place. My friends and I would come back every time we are in the city centre just because we know that the way she hosts will make us feel looked after in a way we don't usually find in other pubs. There are plenty of pubs to choose from in central London, but the service at the Garrick Arms really makes you want to come back again and again. Thank you Amina!

Alex and Louise have been a dream when serving us. They were really friendly and the drinks were made really quickly

Wow... this is the best fish and chips I've ever had. I've tried a few famous places, but this one has good prices and the taste is superior!! It goes especially well with IPA!!! I want to come again

Easter Sunday. Food was OK. Bar staff good. Table of Americans being their loudest spoiled the music. Friends of bar staff though. Overall ok. Reasonably priced for post theatre food and drinks.

Music to loud for the speakers. Rude staff who physically touch you. Alcohol taste fake and overpriced.

Nice and relaxed pub in central with reasonably priced drinks! Only complaint is the music level when it’s quieter inside with fewer people, we could barely hear ourselves think let alone talk to each other.

Today, I arrived with a party of six for dinner and drinks, and the bar manager told me that we had 30 minutes to eat and leave. Half the pub was empty. I don't know how that is healthy for your business.

Very attentive bar staff when I visited last Friday evening for drinks.

No disabled!! Disgusting!!! 15 pounds for 2 flat Moretti beers. But the worst thing is the bathroom, 4 narrow cubicles, without even the possibility of entering them. There is also no bathroom available for disabled people on Wheelchair. Super not recommended

found this spot as its right across the street from my hotel. excellent service, along with good food and a nice chill environment that isnt so typical in an area with crowded, loud pubs. thanks again!

We came in today for a quick drink, our beer was lovely and being the afternoon it was quiet so we sat by the window to people watch which we enjoyed

THEY STOLE MY BAG ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 🚨🚨‼️‼️!!!!!!! We lose a bag and we came bag the next day they said the cleaner service found it and they will give it us the next day. And finally they told us that it was not our bag but it was our. Lier and unprofessional.

This is an incredibly busy and loud venue next door to the Garrick Theatre. Best for drinks. Good place to meet up pre theatre. We had dinner. However in the future I’d only have drinks.

Booked to eat with family, who were visiting London for a show. Ideal location and food was good. Would definitely return.

Lovely pub. Didn't have food but it looked nice. Great staff

Lovely pub. Staff were great. Really enjoyed the food especially the chicken and haloumi sharing platter. Albarino was a good choice for white wine.

Busy pub in the area and it has the space to accommodate.

Great place for a pre theatre lunch.

Locale veramente molto carino, ordinato e pulito. Ho assaggiato un mix di piatti che ho trovato molto gustosi e presentati veramente bene. Il personale poi è stato davvero accogliente. Sorridenti pazienti e disponibilissimi ad ogni mia domanda di chiarimento. Aleksandra e Rowanne, pur impegnate a servire un discreto numero di clienti, sempre allegre ed attente ad ogni dettaglio. Consiglio a tutti questo bel tipico locale londinese. Merita! ❤️❤️❤️

Good pub with a good selection of drinks and friendly service.

Chicken burger was wet inside, which I consider to be uncooked. Will not be eating here again.

I was the only one waiting for a drink at the bar, I'm 6ft tall hard to miss, yet the female server, looked at me walked past me, then decided to turn around after 2 mins and asked me what l would like. I was standing there with cash in hand.

As a regular at the Pub, this the authentic London Pub experience that one can have at one of the most iconic corners at Leicester Square. Amina the manager her is terrific at her job and is always so welcoming to the regulars. Simon here is always a sweetheart with the amazing beer recommendations A must visit every time you're at Leicester Square
