Old Coffee House in City of London, Westminster

A perfect stop-off for a couple of afternoon drinks. We perched by the window and soaked up the surroundings. The walls are awash with intriguing artwork, a feast for the eyes. The music was inspired, with a nostalgic feel. Worth a visit.

A really lovely local pub with a suprising amount of room inside. Very genuine and friendly staff and dogs welcome. We loved it and will definitely be back again.

Met up with some friends in the evening. Great choice of music. Pub was lively and so were the staff. Australian couple are hilarious. Beer wasn't bad either for a first time Brodie's drinker.

Nice old traditional pub, lack of staff for a busy mid week afternoon. The toilets are disgusting and the smell rises up the stairs and into the bar. Shame, update them and it would get better reviews. Don’t pretend it’s due to its original decor etc, they definitely need to be replaced.

Lovely pub, staff are lovely. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Bethnal Green Bitter was perfect. Hope to revisit next time I m in London

We went there last night , the bar staff were so so rude . I asked if they served peroni and the girl behind the bar crossed her arms and leant back ‘no’ she smirked and then laughed in my face with the barman. Which red wines do you have ? “Red wine” was her answer. Literally the worst service I have ever experienced. 8 of us went in but we won’t bother going back.

No longer an old coffee house but instead a really cosy and traditional pub with a lovely friendly atmosphere. It’s very large so even on a busy evening there’s plenty of spots to relax in your group and there’s loads of artwork and history on the walls throughout to admire. Good range of drinks are on offer at decent prices and the service is friendly. A wonderful unique place to go for a drink with friends.

Standard pub generally for central london - but very strangely overtly misogynistic sexualised artwork plastered all over the walls upstairs 😵 very grim

Great little pub in the heart of Soho. Friendly bar staff and a great selection of drinks. Always pop in on my trips to London.

Great little pub that I visit every time I'm in London, friendly staff, great beer. Don't both with the poor reviews they obviously don't know a good British pub.

As a londoner,I love this pub,great staff ,great music, shame about the tourists writing bad reviews.Great london pub where they understand what your saying.I travel ,to go here,and if you don't like it,don't go!Remember, it's londoners, london.Not,the tourist london. Don't care how much you have paid to get here !!!!!

Took my father on a Good Beer Guide tour around London. As Camra member, he was so disappointed. There is no way in which this pub should be in latest Good Beer Guide. Beer or Cider weren’t drinkable and we left most of it. The toilets were absolutely disgusting and the smell was unbearable. Would not advise a visit there.

Not sure how this place has gone downhill so rapidly. Used to have a great selection of cask but we're now left with the bare bones sometimes in poor condition, and food isn't served any more. I used to love the bangers and mash. The gents' toilets smell so bad you can taste then in the bar area at the top of the stairs. They also now seem permanently understaffed. Used to love this boozer but I'll be giving it a miss for a while. A real shame.

Refused perfectly legal Northern Ireland Sterling Said it might be fake. Didn't even check. Surely any banknote could be fake!

Old Coffee House is everything the likes of Brewdog and the other gentrified, clean-cut and overpriced bars of London are not. An old style British pub that's best in the Winter with the 80's living-room style carpets (which aren't as sticky and stained as you might expect) a reminder of when times were simpler, the times before you would be charged an arm and a leg for a lager or Guinness that was flatter than the atmosphere at the Emirates stadium on a January mid-day. The food is purely simple and no-frills. You're not here for the food though, you're here for the conversation about the quirky pictures of celebrities and post-war signs and visuals littered across the walls and a cold beer or two in the heart of Soho.

Traditional British pub at its best. Lovely welcome and great food. Thanks so much for being just what we needed after walking around London.

I come here on my lunch breaks and have always been met with friendly and fast service, good selection of beer, landlady is very kind

The Old Coffee House - Soho A fascinating pub on the borders of Soho, Leicester Square and Carnaby Street, with a brilliant collection of eclectic art on the walls that manages to look complementary rather than random. Degas art prints, wartime propaganda posters, stuffed fish in real fish tanks, and more besides. Coffee houses sprang up as coffee was introduced in Europe, and soon got seized on by the Temperance movements but later began to reintroduce alcohol, becoming more pubs than superior ancestors to the Starbucks craze, and this is one of the best examples.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon here with some friends. Very relaxed and friendly. And we also ordered some food to keep us going which was well priced, delicious and arrived promptly. The perfect pub experience!

Great pub in the middle of Soho, pooped in for a quick drink. Nice warm pub with traditional decoration. The music was 80’s and 90’s and not too loud, the atmosphere good. We would return.

Friendly staff, great beers and walls packed full of curiosities. It's got a personality all of its own!

We received a warm welcome from the bartenders when we stopped by on a rainy Friday afternoon. The coziness level was high. Music was set to an inoffensive volume as the majority of customers were enjoying lunch. Loved the decor and the special touches for...

My husband always goes into this pub when I'm having my hair cut. It's a great place, very friendly staff and the food is good and home cooked. None of your chain rubbish in here.

Popped in here for lunch having decided against many other pubs close by. We were looking for a pint and a sandwich for lunch and this place hit the spot! Quick service and 2 lovely, simple but delicious sandwiches served with salad and a few...

Very disappointed: was hoping that this place would be one of the highlights of my trip, based on the reviews and the promise of a great beer selection. The selection of beers were pretty good, but the quality of the one I had was average,...

Friends / work colleagues got together for the first time in 14 months last night. We hadn’t planned the evening as well as we should have done but, luckily, stopped at this little gem, on Beak Street. Great atmosphere but, more importantly, the staff here...

Good little pub in the middle of Soho. Great decor and beer options. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

So glad we headed for the ‘Coffee House’ the only pub open in the immediate are but much better than remembered. Quick service , clean toilets and Kronenbourg! Thanks guys.

Popped in for a quick pint before dinner. Great selection of beer, great service and great atmosphere.

We go out of our way to visit the Old Coffee House for the very good stouts on draught. Staff always nice and good banter...

There are many lovely old pubs in Soho and this is one of them. The interior has a fascinating collection of posters and other memorabilia on the walls and ceilings and their house beer Brodies is unusual in London. The landlady stopped to chat with...

Visited with my girlfriend just to refresh quickly about midday. I sat down and the landlord openly laughed at my girlfriend when she ordered 2 cokes at the bar, then clearly mocked her to other guests who looked very uncomfortable. I then went up to...

Visited this lovely old pub with real ale before the FA Cup semi final at Wembley, lovely ambiance with my mate a London based Wolves fan until we were sidestepped by a lost soul, a WBA supporter who wanted to share our company 😊 Recommended

So for a disaonno it cost 4.60 per shot and it cost 4.20 for Jack Daniels. I have been working in this industry for 15 years and I am told that their price list was damaged last night and none to show or where it...

I often visit this pub when I’m in the area. Wonderful staff and I love how friendly the pub is. Well worth visiting for you’re in the area!

What a great little pub in the heart of the west end. This place is very cosy and great to pop in for a couple of pints on a Saturday afternoon. Staff are very quick to serve and there's quite a good choice of beers...

After browsing through Carnaby street, favorite place to have food is this lovely pub. Good portions, fresh food, cold beer, nice service- what more do you need?!?☺️

Did not eat in here but popped in one afternoon for a pint of beer. Good choice on offer and we sat by the warm fire and drank it whilst eating a bag of crisps. Perfect. A friendly and patient gentleman was behind the bar...

This is s lovely traditional pub in Soho. It has a fireplace and can be cosy in winter. On my last visit I had bangers and mash. The susages were lovely, but my pint of bitter was way to warm. It was rather expensive too....

Thought we'd try this, as we were out and about in london, great selection of beer etc, and at a fair price, a bit olde worlde inside, but never the less clean and tidy, ordered steak and ale pie and a chicken curry, both were...

The old man behind the bar was rolled his eyes at my partner when she didn’t hear a question asked. An absolutely awful experience and we all work in the industry.

Great old pub for real ale drinkers with a good selection of Brodie’s ales of Leyton on tap. Nice large windows that can be opened up to let air in.

It is not large, but it is never crowded after work. It has a good selection of beers and even has Guinness all available at a fair price. It also has pub food, but I have not tried eating here yet.

Really small and quiet place to have a beer which is in my opinion a bit expensive. But no problem to get a table anytime of a day and any day in the week!

Visited last night with several colleagues after eating out in Soho. Pub was very overcrowded ( to be expected I guess coming up to xmas ). We were having a very good evening, when it was spoiled by the husband of the landlady ( who...

If you like an old style pub and you like decent beer, they are very hard to find, especially in Central London. So this is one of the few left. Brodies do a great range of beers. Unfortunately my favourite their sour beer was sold...

Lovely building and good location for a pub. The TV was quite loud. Although I'm not a Robbie Williams fan, it was nice that the owner had put all of their personal memorabilia up and it made the pub seem loved. The barmaid was rude....

A quiet haven near the bustle of Beak Street and the mayhem of nearby Oxford Street. The decor is based on historic Army Posters but there is nothing military about the inside: just a calm, quiet old fashioned pubby feel, quick and responsive service, plenty...

It's like Mr Bens Wardrobe! Very 1980 outside and 1890 inside! Modest amounts of real are on offer with history draped all over. Friendly bar staff and a refreshing break from the hustle of the outside Carnaby area that is ever changing, not sure for...

Ok so it was a hot day in London (very unusual) and I had a friend over from Holland and I was being the tour guide for the day. Having walked for a few hours and heading down Carnaby Street which by the way has...

Visited with family after a meal in Soho. What a great pub! Tons of interesting items and curios decorated the walls, pub mirrors, foto's, Works Time recorded machine ( clocking on/off ). You could keep any conversation going by just looking around the pub!!!! Everyone...

I love this place, as it's run by Brodie's brewery they have a good selection of beers - on this trip I tried their milk stout and Jamaican stout and both were excellent. They also do a beautiful saison. Good pricing for London at about...

What a fantastic pub within the bounds of Soho .. The interior is lovely , plenty of pictures & photographs ( old & new ) .. A large selection of Brodie's ales makes this a pub to visit time and again .. Very good and...

my wife and i were strolling around london and were looking for a beer stop when we came across the old coffee house , a nice london pub , if you are a robbie williams fan you will love the pictures and framed discs around...

Stayed only long enough to see that their beer selection did not include anything dark (don't they know it's Winter?), but the main problem was the very loud TV's. There had, I believe, been some sort of sporting event on (if you can call darts...

Another typical London pub. Afterwork drinkers flock to this one it seems as when we got there it was rammed. Good atmosphere, but typical London prices

This is a great traditional pub. Cozy and with a fine selection of Ales. We popped in here for a drink before our works Christmas meal.

Nice traditional english pub with own beer micro brewery. Delicious ale pie served at lunch time, but not unfortunately availableoutside lunch hours..

Held a customer meeting here based on my clients recommendation... great choice for a lunchtime discussion followed by an afternoon of trying the great beers! Staff were friendly and prices were fine

They have sky sports and happy to show all games! Sunday roast was huge and very satisfying! We were served by a South African lady and she was pleasantly chatty with the banter and accommodating. Beer was fair and they have a good selection. Definitely...

Nice pub, young bartender was very hospitable but the old Irish fella behind the bar was grumpy, rude and paranoid - would put you off another drink let alone coming back!!

I've been to this pub a few times over the years and it's always been a pleasure but on this particular occasion the paranoid old man behind the bar moaned at me three times for "looking at him/listening In on his conversations" When he bought...

Went here couple of times. It is a typical English pub with great ale. The bartender was a young man from Lithuania and was extremely friendly.

Great pub, go here a lot. Fantastic beer and classic pub menu (sunday roast is also great) at really reasonable prices. It has a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly. I usually go for a pint of Brodies - London Fields, Old Street or...

Being a born and bred Londoner in West End of London this Public Hse has been here as long as i can remember, the great thing is the Décor has stayed the same and not been over modernised with tacky got to try and look...

Let's just nip in for a quick drink - that's then turned into a couple of drinks due to the amazing drinks on offer! Loved this place and will defiantly be back

A group of us came to visit the Old Coffee House last week, we invited some relatives who had come over from Canada for an extended trip of Europe. We stumbled across this pub after taking a trip through Carnaby Street, we were only planning...

Initial impressions aren't the best traditional Brodie's pump clips and TVs but wait this is a gem of a place. Great real ale Brodie's naturally the Stout, Steam and Summer Ales were top notch worthy of a CAMRA 4/5 score. The real surprise in central...

We wandered in here after walking down Carnaby Street. This is a good pub with a proper pub lunch. I had steak and ale pie with veggies and fries. Very good and plenty of it. While Carnaby Street was bustling on a Friday afternoon this...

Went here for lunch - average prices for drink in London however excellent value for food. If im ever in London again this is where ill head for lunch and id recommend it to anyone. The surroundings are a little tired but the quality of...

My Wife and I happened to go in for a couple of pints whilst inLondon this weekend and Tottenham were playing Arsenal and man the place was packed. We managed to get a couple of drinks and the nature of the supporters in there was...

Visited here in late Nov, was looking for a traditional pub, nothing big and shiny. This place is small, a bit dingey and was absolutely perfect! A great selection of local ales as well as your standard beers. Went alone and met some great people....

We came in 5 persons and sit near the firehouse. I had a bottle of water with me which I used to take my pills. I put it on the table and went to order 5 pints. The rude old man told me "drink this...

This is a Pub in SoHo. A friendly family owned corner pub with lots of international customers. Among all beers available they carry Leyton's. Interesting decorated. Affordable.

really enjoyed this pub, lots of craft beers on cask , keg and bottles, and a great atmosphere, could have stayed here all day and night

My wife and I happened upon this ale house by chance while waiting for an appointment time to click round. First pint of excellent Brodies ale smoothed the appointment and ensured we came back afterwards to sample some more of the fabulous offering. The pub...

The girl that was working was alright, even though i think she has no idea how to pour a beer properly. But the old guy was extremely rude and full of attitude.

After a busy day in London shopping we really wanted to find somewhere where we could chill out, and we did! The Old Coffee House is a lovely old London pub full of charm and character, really old fashioned and homely, nothing flash but you...

Rude staff, extremely rude especially the old man behind the counter.. he was rude to most of the customers..

No coffee, no food, just delicious craft beers! Dark, dinghy, nothing to look at - quiet (unless there is sport on). Beers are kept ice cold.

A traditional English pub, the Old Coffee House attracts lots of creative types from the Soho area thanks to its central location and reasonable priced drinks. It's usually really packed on Friday evenings (as with any pub in the area!), and it can be a...

We only stopped in for 20 minutes or so to kill time before a dinner reservation round the corner, so can only offer a limited review. Nice and tidy looking from the outside. Inside the place was surprisingly spacious and also well kept.There were actually...

Very nice and cosy pub. We love having our favourite drinks here ( desperado and Guinness) . One of our local joints . Indoor decoration is very ' historic' , we call this our own museum ...

Great traditional English pub in the heart of Soho with the feel of a local boozer. Great service even when busy. Lots of options for beers, pale ales and stouts.

We happened upon this pub when wandering around Soho on the Saturday of London Pride. It was pretty busy (no surprise!), and serves interesting ales - Brodies' from Leyton. I tried the Kiwi which was very good, and could tempt me back for more on...

If you block your nose or stand outside then it might just about work if you've had a few - toilets absolutely disgusting!!

Having lived in London all my life these would be the most disgusting take-your-breath-away men's loos I've ever used! Stay away if you value your health.

Visited here today, big screen telly(off putting) drinks exspensive soda water and a touch of lime cordial nearly £2, rip off. Enjoyed my bloody Mary tho. Landlord either got out of bed the wrong side or is just a miserable so and so! Stomping around,...

Stumbled across this place as my girlfriend and I were roaming the area, and I was wicked excited to discover they had all sorts of beers I had never seen in any other pubs in London. A really great pub and even though it was...

We called in here for a drink. It's a lovely pub, friendly locals. Football was on. I had a glass of Rose, my husband has a beer. It wasn't expensive. We didn't eat but it was a good traditional menu.

I've been to this pub many times and enjoyed the fantastic fresh Brodies beer that is delicious and delivered from only a few miles away. Lovely staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Bang on.

This is a proper boozer. No bells and whistles, just great beer (and I mean great), great atmosphere and great staff. They stock the regular beers you'd expect in any pub but the real draw here is the Brodie's beer brewed in East London. The...

I have enjoyed many a great pint and food in this pub....fantastic and friendly staff who always have a chat with me when i'm in. The beer is some of the best in London and there are not many Soho pubs where you can get...

With their crafted beer!! I even had to go to the hospital!!!! I called to warn them... But they Said beer was OK and that they will keep selling from the same barrel. I relized that the beer had suspended solids when I already drank...

Not a coffee house, but a tap house for the superb locally brewed hoppy Brodies Craft Beers Wonderful beer BT Sports bar just off Regent Street

One of the best beer selections in London. Old Coffee House features a large variety of craft brewed Brodies Beer. Seems to take a while for the new staff to warm up to "newcomers", but overall the pub is friendly, cozy, and a welcome relief...

An ok pub, serving local London beers from a 'craft' brewery. Just feels a bit old and tired inside. A bit of tlc, and a good clean up in the toilets would make this a really good pub.

Its such a shame to see this pub go down hill. Since the take over of new management i would not recommend it. Unfriendly management and staff.Little care is taken. Unsanitary toilets and dirty tables.

A favourite of mine along with many locals who work in Soho - there is a good range of beers and ales - the wine has a lot to be desired. Also one of a few pubs that actually has Sky Sports!

Loads of choice to drink. Good ambience in a classic British surroundings. Friendly knowledgeable staff
