St Brides Tavern in City of London, Westminster

Causal indoor and streetside space to enjoy a cold beverage. Nicely located off the main street , for a cold beer or glass of wine.

Nothing against the pub, only we went hoping for food, since it got such good reviews as a restaurant in 2020. They told us they no longer serve food so we went elsewhere.

A warm welcome goes a long way and can be quite a rare thing in central London. St Brides is a great, traditional pub with just such a welcome from Karen and her bar staff. The pub has interesting (art nouveau?) decor and is handily located for Blackfriars and Fleet Street. Highly recommended.

Easier the best pub in Fleet Street . Thank you all and Katie! Thanks for putting up with us! always appreciated ! Xxx have to add text to send this blah blah blah.

Called here a couple of nights as it was only a few steps from our hotel great friendly staff ....Double Baileys & Double Brandy one night £40+ Wow!!! But as expected London prices finished a lovely night

Visited this pub whilst in London as staying near Premier Inn, Blackfriars. We had a lovely meal, good service and food although the hand cut chips were a bit pricey. There was a good selection of drinks, lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. Ladies' toilets were well maintained and clean. Tucked away, off the beaten track so very quiet which my husband and I like.

Very pleasant bar staff. Very quiet and tucked away. Not enough atmosphere for us but not a bad pub.

Called in here two or three times on a recent visit to London. I didn't eat there as it was either early evening or later at night, but they had a great selection of real ales and the atmosphere was warm and friendly, as were the staff.

Went in here for a quick drink on way to hotel and pleasantly surprised how packed it was. Although didn't eat the food looked healthy portions and well cooked Sat in corner and staff extremely friendly

Stopped in for a tuna melt and a few beers and I have to say the melt was absolutely wonderful. I consider myself quite a fussy eater and I've eaten in high end restaurants where the food hasn't been as good as this. The staff are cool as well

Would I go again? Absolutely So we stumbled across this place after work, it was hidden just off the main road and could easily be missed. Its is a traditional pub and they had lot of candles around, which not only smelt great it created a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The venue was quiet at first (around 5.30) but got busier, but it never felt rammed and lots of seating. They had a great drinks selection and lots of different whisky's which you don't see that often. The 2 bar staff were friendly, kept the drinks flowing and the candles alight. Prices were a little pricey but no more than the other bars in that area and wouldn't put me off going back due to the bar staff and atmosphere. They did have food, and I believe the owner is an experienced chef but unfortunately the food wasn't available so couldn't try. So if you are wanting to eat maybe call ahead.

Had a business meeting nearby and stumbled upon this delightful pub on our way back to Blackfriars tube station. It was lunchtime and my colleague and I both ordered the tuna melt. It was served quickly considering there was a larger table just ahead of us in the kitchen queue. There are signs up claiming the food is cooked fresh with fresh ingredients and that was certainly the case with the tuna melt! Two halves of a bun, toasted with tuna, fresh red and green peppers and plenty of grated cheese over the top, served piping hot with a salad dressing. Delicious! You know you're in a good establishment when the copper pipes and brass fittings on the urinals are highly polished! Highly recommended.

Попробовали разное пиво ... не очень,как будто выдохлось и без газов, наверное т.к мало людей пиво не свежее! Из еды рыба и чипс были нормальные , но рыба маленькая по сравнению с другими пабами!ну так посидеть можно просто были рядом с отелем и в других местах было битком !

Went for a couple pints and a chicken wrap whilst waiting for a mate to get out of work. The barmaids were very nice to me, served me at my seat and even sourced me a paper as I was waiting some time for my pal. Full of city boys, but it is next to JP Morgan and others so makes sense.

I was staying close by and fancied a beer and some nosh, and as the menu looked good was just about to go in when I saw the dreaded dress code notice. After tramping around all day in my casual kit I was not up to daring challenge so just bogged off to the next boozer. Later that week on a Friday the noise from this place would startle a horse, it seemed to be full of city types letting there hair down in the time honoured tradition of screaming like girls. So maybe if your shirts are not fitted and your shoes not pointy I would not bother with it.

Avoid, expensive. When I commented at the lack of change the barmaid just said 'Well it's London'. Well sorry but no wonder your pub was empty!!

not sure the attraction of this, unless you just want to get away form a crowded london pub.. seems dank, and the entry smells strongly of bleach on 05.06.2017, which smells clean but makes you wonder what its covered up...

Una experiencia muy agradable. Hacen pescado y patatas fritas en una manera muy especial: con arvejas y ensalada fresca

Visited here for drinks. Found the staff really friendly and there was a good atmosphere. As we are from 'up north' we did find prices a bit high but locals probably don't. Good little pub.

Fomos ao local para jantar. Comida excelente, atendimento ótimo, cerveja igualmente ótima. Valeu muito.

Metimos en tras asistir conferencia en el Mermaid. Gran selección de cervezas, vinos y licores a precios razonables en el centro de Londres. Bueno recién cocinado, fantástica calidad y buena relación calidad-precio. El personal amable y servicial - un hallazgo.

Pero encantador pub ¿por qué no abrir sábados y domingos: tomamos una copa tranquila y encantadora en un viernes por la tarde, mi marido y yo queríamos volver el sábado, pero estaba cerrado todo el fin de semana! ! !

very good selection of beers. upscale given the area. very good service and atmosphere. a quiet proper pub.

This is a wonderful round the corner English pub,what I mean by that it is nestled down a side road near blackfriars station, so just right for a quick refresher before the journey home. All the staff are exceptional and considerate helping in carrying drinks for you if you have a large round to distribute . The bar area is small and welcoming with candlelight to add to its attraction. One other point should be made is that the beers are kept immaculate , never had a bad one.

Nice, relaxed pub with some decent lagers and beers. Friendly staff.I was going to the Blackfriars, but it was heaving. This was quieter, more off the beaten track, and welcoming.

Decent bar, nicebar staff, good pub grub at Londons crazy prices, decent beer on tap and best of all I was in their when England lost to Iceland in the euros, how I laughed. Handy from the Premier Inn Blackfriars.

Staying at the Premier Inn, when you can see this from the foyer why you would still choose to drink in Premier Inn is beyond me! Excellent choice of real ales and for us great start to evening out.

Unmittelbar neben unserem Hotel Premier Inn Blackfrairs - Essen und Trinken - samt freundlichem Personal! Alles bestens!

I was staying at the adjacent Premier Inn, but was too early to book in, so went to St Brides Tavern for a spot of lunch and a pint of ale. The bar staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, even taking my food order at the table to save me getting up to the bar. It was lovely and peaceful, only another couple in the bar - then BAM!!! All of a sudden hordes of blokes came flooding in from somewhere!! (stag weekend perhaps - or finished work for the weekend). This did not detract from the cosy atmosphere of the bar, I'm just pleased I got my order in before they all turned up. The food - sort of spicy beans and sausage on a sourdough toast, was unbelievably delicious - I would definitely recommend it.

This is the second time I have visited this place and it is a reliable option. Great food and a relaxed environment. I had a lamb curry that was quite impressive.

The pub is a nice place to stop if you want a small quiet place to have a drink with friends. They have a very limited but good quality selection of real ales on offer and a basic wine menu. The food is basic pub snacks and burgers which unfortunately was not available when we called in. The staff did however offer us chips but we wanted dinner. The staff were friendly and welcoming and explained that the food was not available because there was no cook.

Это таверня - паб, где продаются хорошее пиво, вина и др. спиртные напитки, а также разнообразные блюда современной кухни: включая гамбургеры, чипсы и прочие нехитрые закуски. Можно взять с собой на вынос.

My husband and I stopped for a drink when we arrived in London. People were friendly, wine was good. Would go back again.

It is years since I stopped working around the corner from the St Brides but the draw of the food and welcoming atmosphere is too much to resist. Karen and her team make every one feel like they are locals. Ale, food and staff with character!

This little pub is excellent fro food and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful and Karen, who manages the pub is an excellent hostess. Her husband is the chef who provides a short and simple menu but food is of a high quality and all home made. Also a good venue for organising a bigger event as there is a room upstairs also. Well worth a visit

10 of us booked for a team Christmas lunch in the upstairs bar. We had pre-ordered our food and I had ordered fish & chips at £10.45. The chips were amazing - the fish was very disappointing. I was expecting a lovely freshly cooked cod in batter, but what I got was obviously a frozen packet fish fillet which would cost a couple of quid from your local Iceland - definitely not £10.45 worth, even though the chips were excellent there were only half a dozen of them. I won't be returning. Other of my friends ordered some fancy cheese dish, which ultimately turned out to be cheese on toast - at £8.45 a pop it was ridiculously over-priced.

Dropped by for a drink, is small inside, small snack menu, I think there are better places around....

Closed on weekends, but traditional Friday pub was lively at the street outside pub. Very tasty Greeny King IPA on draft.

Looking out of the office having our meeting we saw this pub it was very bissy at lunch time so we went after the office crowd went back to work. We went in for a drink a very nice welcome some people were finshing lunch it looked good will remember the gem of a pub

I have now been at two private events here, while the food is limited it is good, the beer is good and the staff (and owner) are friendly and helpful. Do not be put off by the outside it is worth a visit

Small place with a limited menu and good for small group of friends. Food is available during limited hours only.

I tend to come here a lot, mainly because it is a stone's throw from the office and we're well known and well looked after by the lovely landlady Karen and her team. However, having sampled the lunch menus of many of the other pubs in the area, I've satisfied myself that St Bride's food cannot be beaten - once you've eaten your first triple cooked chip you'll understand why! The menu is small but offers the usual pub grub - burger, fish and chips, wraps etc - with a few twists (I have it on good authority that the 'Bunny Chow' is worth a punt). Today I had the pulled pork brioche bun, which was literally overflowing with tender meat and accompanied with fries and red cabbage coleslaw. For the quality of food and portion sizes, prices are very reasonable (around £10 for a main course). It does get busy in the early evenings (mainly with groups of post-work office bods), but with many choosing to stand outside in the warmer months you can usually find a place to perch your drink inside. There is an upstairs area which can be hired out for functions and is also opened during busy lunch periods. My only minor gripes are the ladies' toilet which could do with a revamp and the house white wine - choose a grape you're comfortable with!

Pequena, mas aconchegante e tivemos um ótimo atendimento, tem variedade de bebidas, não chegamos a comer nada.

This is a small but friendly Pub. Looks like a one person show. There is a small menu but the food is tasty. There are very few tables. Nothing extra ordinary about this place.

A small but friendly pub, very busy - but we were served quickly and the selection of beers on offer were good and of a reasonable price. Due to being so busy we ended up standing outside - but that was no problem as it was a nice sunny evening.

Ambiente piccolo ma assai accogliente dove si può gustare della buona birra e consumare piatti accuratamente preparati dal gestore. Il personale molto disponibile ed effervescente mette a proprio agio la clientela, specialmente quella straniera (nel caso italiana)

We come here frequently for drinks & it's a lovely bar, very traditional styling & a good selection of drinks. We haven't eaten here but I'm sure it would be tasty

Work nearby and often pay a visit.Always a good selection of drinks.Have always found the staff welcoming & polite.Worth a visit.

Abbiamo cenato in questo locale londinese la sera del nostro arrivo in città. L'abbiamo trovato molto accogliente ed intimo. Il cibo che chi hanno servito era buono, così come le birre. Il prezzo nella media dei locali simili. Servizio cordiale.

We were staying at the Premier Inn round the corner and had liked the look of this wee pub as we passed on our way back to the hotel about 6pm. Then there had been quite a few people standing outside with drinks. After our excellent dinner in the hotel we thought we'd pop round the corner for a nightcap. We arrived to find one couple - or rather, two people - the only ones there. I say two people as opposed to a couple as it was clear from the moment we entered they were not a couple per se. A guy who was drunkenly pouring out his heart to some female he was trying to impress, all about his miserable marriage etc, etc.It was impossible not to be party to all this being the only other two people there, apart from the barmaid.Ah, the barmaid? A young foreign lady who served us, but had never heard or Cointreau, and obviously didn't have it, but aside from getting our drinks, spend the whole time just out of sight round the corner from behind the bar on her mobile phone.The 'couple' went out for a fag break, and it was like the Marie Celeste by the minute. Once they returned we drank up and took our leave. Hope this guy sorts himself out, and the female doesn't fall for his 'drunken charms'.They do say, "Never judge a book by it's cover" and this was reverse in action - the place looks delightful from the outside, but was so disappointing inside. No atmosphere at all, no anything. St Bride's Tavern is either tucked away just too much, or the lack of welcome and friendly service has turned patrons away by the looks of things. The barmaid seemed unmoved when we were leaving - perhaps she's delighted to be paid to spend her shift on her mobile/texting.

Excellent alternative to Hotel food if you're booked in to the Crowne Plaza or Premier Inn. Really good Fish n Chips with triple cooked chips, so really crunchy, with lovely minted peas; top notch! Beer was pretty good too

We work around the corner from St Brides and would class it as our 'local'. There is an awning outside which is perfect if you like the cold and when there is a little bit of rain.Karen and the team are very welcoming and there is always a good selection of frequently changing real ales. The food is very nice too, with the triple cooked chips a personal favourite as a little snack!Worth a visit!

ate lunch here as our hotel only provided breakfast and evening meal, wish i'd found it sooner. lovely staff, fabulous quality food (even though menu appears a bit limited) will return again when back in london. brilliant atmoshpere

Exactly that! Good little English London boozer, friendly attentive service. Had a nice couple of pints with a friend in relaxed surroundings upstairs.

enjoyable location with excellent local and domestic beers. Can get quite busy on weeknights, but thats because its a great place to congregate.

Really lovely guys serving behind the bar and were really knowledgeable about wines and beers... Good selection of drinkies to wet the whistle! Be seeing you guys again soon.

Fantastic pub! 3 weary tourists were pleased to find such a lovely place, serving brilliant food with such a friendly landlady and staff. We loved it so much that we returned the following night, just regret not finding it on our first night! Thought food was exceptionally great and a reasonable price for home cooked food, even went out of their way to amend the menu for our young child. Word of warning - not open Sat/Sun. Will be returning whenever we're next in London.

We had dinner at St Brides Tavern on our first night in London. It was close to our hotel and after walking most of the afternoon all around Westminster it was a relief to find a nice place to eat. The outside is (as most pubs) quaint and had lots of hanging baskets of flowers. The food was quite good. My companion had the Bean chili and I had the fish and chips (what else?). The fish was crisp and delicious. The chips were fresh and hot. I don't care for mushy peas but tried them anyway. Would definitely go back again.
