The Lyric Pub in City of London, Westminster

I never regret coming in here! Best selection of beers around, and the food slays every time too💕 Not the mention the staff members who are always happy to chat and give suggestions, will be back very very soon (tomorrow)

Great pub in the centre of London. Amazing beers, delicious food and all the staff were brilliant. I will be returning

I liked my first visit here ,A great selection of cask ales. Managed to get a stool inside not too busy on my visit . Definitely returning when up in town again.

Was strolling through Soho and stumbled across the lyric, It has a very welcoming atmosphere with very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. The beer and ale selection was immense, had a lovely conversation with the manager, he was super friendly and guided me on my cask ale selection. The mushroom and cashew roast was absolutely perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Will most be coming back!

Looking for a cheeky different pub that's different from the usual Fuller's and other ones? If so, then drop in here to try some of their special beers that are available

Incredibly rude to my partners parents refused upstairs seating despite us just having bought drinks. Very rude & intimidating manager. Staff visibly at unease.

Incredibly rude staff who were condescending and mean to my eighty year old parents. They felt thoroughly unwelcome and will not be returning

A crowded Wednesday afternoon, The lyric is lively and welcoming. Be prepared for an eclectic choice of beers both from the Cask (a Bakers dozen of taps on the bar) and keg (run out of fingers!) Lovely knowledgeable staff offering great service. Lots of laughter and plenty of nectar going down. A super place for a pint.

When visiting London, this Bar was the right choice. From the food, to the atmosphere and the service of the staff, everything is 5 stars. to repeat

Harriet is just the best. Was on top of everything. Lucky to have her

This place was excellent; the food was good, and the drinks were chilled. But this place gets five stars because of our server, Alice. They went above and beyond when my mother left her bag on the chair, and they ran after us all the way to Piccadilly. Thank you, Alice, for the warm welcome and the exceptional service!

Best boozer in Soho / West London hands down. Unbelievable selection of craft and cask beers on rotation. Friendly, knowledgeable staff with special mention to Harnet who's definitely in the top 5 bar staff there and probably one of the finest bar tenders in Europe.

Great place for a good local beer and a home cooked dinner! The beer, the bartenders and the food were all Great!

Amazing selection of beers with classic pub food. Harriet who served us was really kind and she knew her stuff! Definitely worth the visit

The staff were very friendly, which was nice, but the smell was really strong and it was hard to swallow a lot.

Harriet was our server, she was great and we were pleased with our food & atmosphere of the pub. Visiting from Canada and loved the whole area. Would recommend people to stop by if they are in the area. Thank you Harriet for your great service.

Great pub. Genuine old timer without the West End gloss. Food was great, proper steak and ale pie, with “proper gravy” (and it definitely was) really good wine list with a rippa Malbec and a couple of dozen different beers. Highly recommended. Cheers

Great atmosphere, food and service from Harriet. Would highly recommend

Came across the Lyric while lost in London. Brilliant pub food. Service was prompt and helpful. Upstairs was a little oasis of calm.

Fantastic choice of beers, busy but good service and served quickly.

Great good, fantastic service, great atmosphere and very reasonably priced especially for Piccadilly Circus

The food and beer were fantastic. We were served by Haz who was very helpful and just a nice person all round. Definitely worth a visit!!

Excellent selection of beers, wonderful food and friendly staff that make you feel at home

Had the worst pub experience in this one. They served a cask beer which smelt foul and vinegary. When asked to the bartender if I could have another one she pretended, in a very rude way, that the beer was fine despite multiple customers complaining about it. Very rude attitude from the staff and not hygienic environment. Please avoid!

Josh was an amazing bartender and server. Fish and chips were amazing!

Josh was amazing! Sausages and mash fantastic!

Fantastic pub fair. Went there twice now. Extensive beer list. My favorite dish was the Scotch Egg. Staff is friendly, and our server Josh made us feel at home the moment we walked in.

Quirky little boozer with a great selection of beers!

Cheap wine! £7.80 for a large glass

I recommended the Sunday Roast Beef, delicious. Two people in the center of Pucadilly Circus

Service and atmosphere are great. Food quality is left to be desired though. The chicken wings were a bit overcooked.

I found the place beautiful, good food and beer, served by a big guy, nice and attentive. For those looking for the atmosphere of a typical English pub it is highly recommended 💪

Awesome independent Victorian pub with a serious selection of ales and great food. We had 3 small plates from the menu for lunch and all were top quality. The Haggis Scotch egg is a solid 10/10.

We had a great first meal here and decided to go back for our final meal after 2 weeks in the UK. I think it was our favorite pie of many. The service was great too. It's really a great find.

Good beer selection and good food. Upstairs is nice and quiet with great service.

Delish food, nice drinks and Harriet is a wonderful attentive waitress!!!

Great selection of beers and drinks in general. Great friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

An authentic London pub with friendly staff and a good selection of drinks and local classics to eat. Our server Harriet was lovely and accommodating of our party of 6. Child friendly too!

Proper pub, friendly service, nice people.

Kyle was a great waiter. He was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. I had sausage and mash and my spouse had Fish and Chips. Best meal we have had so far in London. Atmosphere is tight and could be overall improved.

A lovely, attentive and friendly waiter, Kyle, who served delicious food in an intimate and cosy atmosphere. Pleasantly surprised. Thank you. (Would highly recommend the Korean pork belly skewers)

We happened upon a Thursday when there was an offer of steak (fillet or rib-eye) with a drink for 17 pounds. Paid very little. Good meat and food, lots of beers on tap. Place in need of some renovation. Good service with expert waiters, with the novice there was a bit of a mess with beers dripping and tables being cleaned. Toilet to avoid.

Everything was excellent, the guys were very kind. We will definitely be back. The ribs delicious.

What’s not to like, great attitude behind the bar. Amazing great choice of beers and ciders and the food we had for the Price was banging Happy to recommend

They had no salad or vegetable side dish to put on our sea bass dish. Chef would even add a few leaves or tomato. Said it wouldn’t go through the till if he changed the dish. We had to order a revolting Caesar salad With out chicken. To go with our meal Which was full price

A neat little spot to grab yourself a craft beer. I had scoped this place out knowing they have a solid tap selection and it did not disappoint.

Didn't eat here. The staff were amazing. Recommending drinks. Have a laugh with everyone. Such a nice place to spend the evening. Thank you

Randomly popped in here with my 7-year-old while we were being super-tourists and needed a break from walking. Great craft beer and real ales, and great service. Chill pub I would definitely go back to.

Well, goodness, an ever-changing choice of 32 real akes, ciders or lagers is hard to compete with. Sheer numbers work in the Lyric's favour. A great pub with a small upstairs restaurant, very friendly, I could have stayed here all night, alas I had a restaurant to go to. Nice interior with a ceiling decorated with beer pump badges - try working your way through that - a small outside space. Rib Tuesday sounds like fun. Very good.

Atypical place in London, great welcome, super good, hearty hamburger meal. correct addition. really very pretty place.

Such rude bar staff! (The blond-haired woman, not the others.) If you've been kept waiting over 5 minutes for a beer that you've been told will be brought to your table, you're perfectly entitled to go back to the bar and ask for it. To be told off twice - once at the bar and once at the table - for having the temerity to ask for it! Never again. And the cask beers didn't taste great but, to be fair, it was an exceptionally hot day. We'll stick to The Ship and The Dog and Duck in future.

Great beer selection, good traditional London boozer with the addition of a good craft beer line up

Finally, a place in Soho with decent beer. Everywhere has the generic mainstream beers. All I want is a fruity hazy IPA. Is that too much too ask for? Not an the Lyric. Fanks v much!

Stopped here on the off chance for some food. They have a restaurant upstairs away from the bar. The menu was good and the selection of beers was amazing with lots of craft. The only downside was the restaurant area was a bit dark and almost "forgotten" but still worth a visit

Small atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. I went there to watch the Spain-France match. Lots of people and decent beer.

Lovely pub staff were all brilliant

Stumbled over this little gem, tucked in the heart of Soho. Flavorful, fresh steak pies with lovely, slightly crisp carrots and greens, perfectly blanched to a bright color and infused with the rich flavor of the gravy. Extremely reasonable price under £20. Delicious beers and ciders on tap. For dessert, I was overfull but hubby was served a beautiful parfait glass of Eton mess with huge, fresh raspberries. Fabulous food (upstairs), fabulous ambience, looking down over window boxes of fresh flowers on bustling streets below. Highly recommend.

Variety of beers, awesome music and nice atmosphere. 🍻

Well prepared and presented food (we ordered fish and chips, a burger, a vegan pie, and a Korean pork dish), friendly staff, good cider and beer, and good prices for the location.

Authentic English pub and thr steak and ale pie was EXACTLY what I wanted. *chef's kiss*

Food was amazing. Was recommended to us by a bartender at another pub and there was 0 disappointment. The waitress was super kind and helpful and the fish and chips is smashing. Cannot recommend enough to the traveler or local. Stop on by!

Very characteristic traditional English pub with a wide choice of beers

Stumbled on The Lyric on way to a film screening event. Little oasis of cool and calm. Perfect thick-cut roast beef sandwich. An instant favourite London pub.

This is the place to go in central London for craft beer, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic pub feed ! plenty beers on tap & options on the menu. Genuinely large filling meals beef roast was beautifully done. Staff sensational they made a small error one of our meals didn’t come out with the other 3. Was no bother to us happy to wait but at Lyrics discretion straight away said that that meal plus all our drinks was “on the house”. AMAZING we’ll go back for sure !

Fish and chips were good. The sever was helpful and the crowd was welcoming

So - nice English pub - I was here for two hours in the lead up to the Euros, buying drinks, chatting with staff squeezing into a corner as the room swelled. I was told food orders close at 9pm. So, I sat at the bar, bought some crisps and half-pints to pace myself. I even asked for a menu, and enquired about availability, so it was pretty clear my intention was to order food ... but then when I tried to order at 8:30 they said the kitchen was shut - "too many orders". No compromise - a hard no - I would have been happy with chips or fried chicken ... but nuh, closed the kitchen early. Stiff!

Yummy food, nice atmosphere and serving

An absolute revelation that I shouldn't be posting a review about. Charming Victorian gem that offers a proper pub experience with a friendly atmosphere. Cosy and traditional interior with wooden panels, open fireplaces, and etched glass. Very convenient if you're in the west end. Even a teeny outside area.

We came to this pub yesterday for a late lunch and because we noticed that it served proper cask conditioned real ale in the center of London. We were absolutely not disappointed the ale was excellent and the choice was very good. But more importantly the service was superb, we had the most delightful waitress who could not have done more for us, she brought samples of the beer as a result my partner bought more! Please pass our thanks onto her she was absolutely great and she made our day!

A good place to have a good pint and eat a burger

We had amazing burgers and the staff is kind! Affordable prices🤗

We stopped here today while exploring the area, initially just for drinks. However, we decided to try their Sunday roast, and it turned out to be an excellent decision! We opted for the Sharing Roast, with three meat option, and chose pork belly, ribeye, and chicken. Each meat was cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful, making for an unforgettable meal. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, ensuring everyone left the table satisfied. The accompanying vegetables were tasty and perfectly cooked, complementing the meats beautifully. The Yorkshire pudding was a highlight—deliciously big and full of flavor, just the way it should be. Our family members who chose the ribeye roast were equally impressed. The portion was ample, and the meat was succulent and tasty. The meal was outstanding, and today's experience was one we will definitely want to repeat. Additionally, the staff were super friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience! I highly recommend The Lyric for anyone looking for a top-notch Sunday roast. We will certainly be back for more 🤗😋

Busy downstairs quite upstairs , me and friend went here before a show , nothing really took our fancies on the menu but we still grabbed a drink and the staff were really nice.

Fantastic selection of beers, the Harvey's was particularly good.

What an amazing beers selection. Two words: GO THERE

Nice pub near several theatres. Nice staff and quick service. We ate fish n chips and caesar salad. Decent prices

Impressive atmosphere! The classic burger was delicious! Unfortunately, you can only smoke under the club, for smoking on the other side of the road, you can get a slap on the ass from the guards😒

Some stronger beers available also wine. Great atmosphere

A nicely hidden pub that serves good food. Very small and compact and also shows live Premier League games. Service at beginning was slow, hit and miss but was picked up with immediate response and quick turnaround. They serve a good amount of spirits: Hennessy, Courvoisier, good Rum selection too: Kraken, etc. Gents toilets is downstairs, whilst dining area and ladies is on first floor.

We had to wait 45 mins for our food but we did not complain. When the food came it was really good. When we then went to pay our bill the waiter apologized for our wait and decided to take the drinks off the bill even if we hadn't asked which was a nice surprise. Overall it was a great experience, had great food and very friendly service.

The attendants are very good people. The “Fish and Chips” can be shared between two people in peace and was very delicious.

Very small establishment in Soho. But truly British cuisine...to be discovered. Super cool atmosphere.

The best place in Soho. We ordered the Crispy Pork Belly with mashed potato and pickled cabbage & Salt and pepper Squid, soooo delicious 😋 Hats off to the Chef!!! The atmosphere was relaxing with great music 🎶 🎵 👍 Great service from the staff especially "Henry". Come and visit this place if you're in Soho.

What a fantastic gem of an old English Pub, we booked a table here is in the small upstairs dining room for 9 people - we came with friends and teenage children - all were warmly welcomed. The service was good and the quality of the food was excellent with lots of choice to suit different tastes. The atmosphere and friendliness of this small pub in central soho really makes it a great place to go with family and/or friends.

You're hungry, the fish and chips are simply great 🤩 Cozy and quiet place, don't hesitate, go take a look!

Great atmosphere, great location, great and very friendly service, if you want a "medium" steak, order "rare". Excellent!

I saw Minority Report and what a play! Theatre was top notch and such an exciting performance! Thank you so much.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good choice of beer on tap but shocked when the food arrived at the tiny portion size for the price… the sharer dish for 2 should have been listed as a side dish for 1

I like this pub in Soho and just a stones throw from Piccadilly Circus. The service was excellent despite it being busy for a Tuesday afternoon. They have an excellent collection of drinks, 7 cask ales, 3 cask ciders and 20 keg beers and ciders. They also have around 25 whiskies and I opted for a double Makers Mark which was reasonably priced at £9.60. They have an upstairs dining room, usual pub fare, burgers etc. Watch out for their daily specials eg on Mondays a burger, chips and a drink for £16.95.

Great food at very reasonable prices. Portions are very filling. I had fish and chips- the fish was about 12” Long and Was all fish with a thin batter. Amazing value - ironically very stingy with the mushy peas😂😂. Great selection of beers too. The stairs to the gents are very tight and steep.

It tends to have a fairly good atmosphere but can sometimes be absolutely rammed. I find that they don’t have the best beers on. A lot of craft breweries that I’ve not heard of producing bad beer. I’d happier if they had a good selection of DEYA, Make Make, Cloudwater, Verdant, Pressure Drop, Wylam etc. The food was not terrible but not something I would have again. It’s a good drinking hole when not packed but the beer choice can be uninspiring despite having a wide selection.

The best fish and chips in the area. And for that matter we had an incredible roast there once a couple of years ago, so if you are there on a Sunday make sure to check it out. Our fish was full of flavour. The coating flavoursome and the texture wonderful and flaky. The only problem they have a venting issue in the kitchen and the window in the hall needed to stay open so being Easter it was pretty cold ( I kept me coat on)

Fine Pub a few meters of the busy Picadilly steets, great selection of beer and great food. Always a pleasure here!

This pub has amazing bounces. Very genuine and was lovely speaking to them. Really made the experience much better for not being locals and coming to visit london. Thank you guys you do a great job :)

Great little pub, excellent for a meal before visiting the theatre. Very good beer selection and the food was perfect. Haven't had curry sauce in 20 years and this almost makes me want to move back! The beef and ale pie was very good, and the pizza was rated highly by a teenager.

Well, if around Soho and you desperately want to watch the last 20mn of a match between Barcelona and PSG with your grown up son and having a Guiness together, this might be one of the right places. Always fully packed of people especially during late afternoons. I liked it. Tell us what you think, if around.

Delicious British food, great prices and lovely waitress in glasses. Definitely recommend!

Main person seemed friendly although was struggled with staff not showing up. The main server who got my drinks was not wanting to help or answer my questions. I asked her to read one of the flavors of cider to me as it was at the back of the bar and I said I didn’t have my glasses. She just kept on pointing and saying ‘well we only have one’ ….. also, £27 for 1 pint and 2 glasses of Prosecco …

Make a reservation by email I made a reservation when it opened and there were plenty of seats, but they filled up quickly. I had Sunday Roast, but Pork Belly arrived. There are 32 types of beer, so I heard it was recommended and I drank two, and they tasted like crazy dogs💙
