Proper pub with a great atmosphere at Christmas particularly. Quick service too even when rammed which is always appreciated

We loved this pub. Haven't eaten there, or know if they even do food, but we love it all the same. Really nice staff when we visited and loved the decor, and the retro Christmas decorations. Reminded me of my house as a kid at Christmas!

I love this pub. Having worked in the anrea for 10 years and go nearby to oasis sports centre. This has become Covent Garden go to pub. For central London the prices are good. The indie art school staff are generally friendly. Decent Indie music and counterpoint to some reviews ‘no kids’ finally a pub for city adults ! Great atmosphere old school Pub vide - lots of arts work

Lovely London pub, not sure if these decorations on the ceiling are up all the time as some looked a bit dusty. However, it was Nov when we visited, so it felt right! Quirky London pub. You might risk your life on the death stairs going to the loo.

Popped in on Saturday night 05/10/24, bar was busy & people were enjoying them. The length of the bar was full & tried to get on of the bar staff attendance, but he was too busy checking his hair to worry about serving any customers. Out of the 3 male staff on duty, 2 were serving customers & then this individual with the black turtle neck top, was checking if his hair was straight. Clearly, his appearance is more important than your customers....

🚇 Covent Garden 🍺 £6.50 Madri The Cross Keys is located close to Neal’s Yard in Covent Garden in the West End of London. The nearest Tube is Covent Garden, it’s a few minutes walk to get here. This Grade II listed Freehouse was built in 1848. The pub’s small and striking exterior is famous for its floral displays and foliage. This pub is owned by an antique and memorabilia collector and is the Sister pub to the Old Coffee House in Soho. The interior of this pub is long and narrow, dimly lit and has bags of character. The servery is located on the right hand side, is clad in dark wood and has a brass foot rail. The decor is a treasure trove of all manner of memorabilia and bric-a-brac, you’ll find copper kettles to musical instruments, Brewery Mirrors and historical photos. There are also Beatles posters and even a signed napkin by Elvis Presley. The seating is plentiful throughout the bar, there are small spot stools and elongated comfy banquettes with small circular tables to rest your pint on. Oh, and not forgetting the proper pub carpet. The beer line was a solid mix of mainstream, premium, craft and cask beers. I decided on a Madri, my pint was decent enough, price point was above average. Food comes in the form of a choice of Baguettes, all of which will set you back £4.50, there is also bags of Tayto’s too. I arrived around 11.30am on a rainy Wednesday lunchtime in February. The pub was fairly quiet with a few locals and tourist spread around the bar. The low lights and the decor make for a very atmospheric setting, a feeling of a London pub from times gone by. The service was great, the chap who served me was welcoming and chatty. The Cross Keys is one of those pubs that you immediately feel at home and comfortable in. I loved everything about this pub and could have spent all day here. Next time you are exploring the West End or if you’re looking for a pre or post show pub, may I recommend a visit to this quintessentially British London Boozer. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 21.02.24

I’m hesitant to review this pub because I don’t want it to get over crowded but it is SUCH a good pub and deserves all of its wonderful reviews. The vibe is unmatched and it’s fabulously decorated with wonderful Beatles memorabilia all over the walls. The outside is equally nice to look at. On top of that the service is great and it has a nice selection of local and international beers you won’t find on tap at other London pubs such as Asahi and Budvar.

A visual feast. This west end hideaway in Covent Garden has a beautiful, secluded front with a patch to drink outside under the trees. Inside the small, narrow bar area is a feast for the eyes. A rich red, highly decoratively papered ceiling features vintage wood beams, decorative pillars and a cascade of copper paraphernalia, pots, pans, kettles and wood buckets. Every space of wall features a vintage picture, painted or drawn, decorative painted mirrors, signs and a vast array of collectables from music, sport and more. There's antique clocks, including a signature grandfather clock. Soft cushioned, studded leather bench seating and stools scatter over a 1980's patterned carpet. The long bar features a good range on draught and a gorgeous heritage wood Watneys Ales backbar. The tight corner, spiral stairs connect the bar through the property. There's a relaxed local arts vibe in the groups if friends catching up with vintage rock to set a enjoyable atmosphere. This is a visual treat for vintage London pub lovers.

The pub is a decent pub just far enough away from Covent Garden to avoid being overwhelmed by tourists, but is spoilt by the bar staff. I have rarely seen such a slovenly unprofessional bunch in my life. If your idea of good service is being served by Kevin and Perry, this is the place for you. The end of the bar seemed to be used by staff ( or friends - not easy to tell the difference) and in the half hour we were there had an empty sandwich carton and a spray cleaning bottle sat there. The rubbish (flattened empty boxes) left on the floor could easily have been moved, but just added to the scruffy nature of the pub. Oh - and of 3 draught beer pumps - not one in use and no obvious sign of anyone trying to rectify that situation. Whoever owns or manages this pub - you need to get a grip.

One of my top ten pubs in the UK. But since Covid, the young bar staff take it upon themselves to close at whim. Last night we were enjoying a convivial few in a festive atmosphere. Must have been 40 people in there well into their cups. Out of the blue they called time before ten pm. I had a word with the bar manager and pointed out that each person was spending at least £30 per round and that if they bought two per hour they would make several hundred per hour, more than justifying the effort, His answer? We want to go home. This crap is killing our pub trade. Customers count. Get off your phones and respect that! You should be honored to work in one of our institutions.
