The Marquis in City of London, Westminster

Small intimate place. Live music or vinyl played from behind the bar by the staff.

Very typical... Top notch welcome.

Very lively pub in the centre of London. Staff here is amazing, everyone is very friendlyz great selection of drinks! Strongly recommend! :)

A fantastic smallish pub full of rock music memrobila and not overly expensive considering the area it's in. Vinyl music played all the time .will visit again .

We popped in here twice during our 2025 visit to London. Vinyl music plays when there is no live music. Some much to love about the place including Neck Oil on tap.... We'll be back in 2027

Very cool Brit pop atmosphere with old English pub roots. The food was fantastic! Surprisingly sooo good.

Fantastic! Will definitely be back - amazing atmosphere

Nice place, friendly and kind staff but food far from a good pub standards... pity!

Covent Garden pub We had a great lunch and beers in this cosy British music-themed pub in Covent Garden. The food was good and the staff and patrons are super friendly. It's a good spot for a meal and a chat. If you don't have a reservation, you'll need to come early!

Tuvimos un gran almuerzo y cervezas en esta acogedora música británica - pub temático en Covent Garden. La comida era buena y el personal y los clientes son muy amables. Es un buen lugar para una comida y una charla. Si no tienes una reserva, tendrás que venir temprano!

A groovy and atmospheric pub with a polite barman and tasty snacks! I enjoyed it all very much

We had a lovely meal on Saturday and staff was so friendly and atmosphere was great too , we will be back !!

Encontré este pub por accidente, ¡qué gran ambiente! La comida era genial, el personal era amable y servicial, disfrutamos de la música tocada, sin duda volveremos la próxima vez en Londres.

The marquis is a one of a kind rustic pub located in the heart of London’s west end. It prides itself on self on its huge list of records that span many genres. I plan to return soon!

Ambiente fenomenal, Tabatha especialmente nos dio una noche increíble, además Paul y Esme eran geniales! Sin duda volveremos cuando estemos en la zona!

Para mí de esto se trata un pub tradicional de Londres. Una bebida decente, no ser estafado, gran vibra, siempre alguien a quien decir "bien", sin lujos excelente comida a precios adecuados y un personal fabuloso! ¡No puedo esperar a volver a Londres para volver aquí! Los discos de vinilo y los recuerdos musicales están a la orden del día.

Exceptional steak and ale pot pie. Tender beef with flaky puff pastry atop. Also had baguette, camembert and cranberry sandwich that was great.

A great pub the staff were welcoming, the beer was lovely. Lots of history, music playing on vinyl what's not to love.

Excellent place for music, beers, good, company.

Good Pub, good Beer and chatted to a couple of locals that were a laugh

Excellent venue for seeing fantastic musicians in a special atmosphere. Incredible location too.

Proper pub. Real vinyl. Great atmosphere. Good selection of alcohol as you would expect being a pub. Haven't rated food as only drink here.

Fabulous pub. Vibrant atmosphere. Great music (vinyl). Very cool. Didn't eat..A great find.

This is probably one of the best public houses I have been to. A great location and absolutely fantastic atmosphere. I have not eaten there

We came to London to watch our friend Kev perform. What a brilliant evening we had.

Nice bar not as big as was expecting but was fine for a quick stop off from walking through the busy city

The Marquis, Covent Garden? Charring Cross? Wherever! A GOAT pub, spinning the vinyl, today, a healthy helping of Supertramp. Just before Christmas it was a tribute to the Fab Four! Wonderful service from a great team. Never leave your Brittany in the glass washing area! (Top tip) A super visit and a great pub. Thanks

Lovely friendly staff. Good Guinness, visited between Christmas and the new year. Great food. We be back.

Great pub. Great atmosphere. Great music - long live the vinyls. Great Guinness .Great people. Yep GREAT 🍻✌️

Cool pub, cool music and fab service. Loved spending time here. Music great, wine fabulous, highly recommend.

Lovely little pub, vinil playing, good atmosphere and friendly staff. 10/10

El Marqués fue el último pub que visitamos en Londres y fue de lejos el mejor. Nos divertimos mucho con la música en vivo. El ambiente en el pub y el personal era impresionante!

Xmas party upstairs. Great staff, venue has lots of music history. Good party buffet. Thanks, team

Love this pub - a unique experience

One of my favourite pubs in the world. A must visit when in town

Mi esposo y yo habíamos estado caminando por Covent Garden durante años tratando de encontrar un bar que no estuviera lleno o sirviera comida. Estaba revisando el menú afuera cuando dos señoras salieron y me dijeron lo encantador que era allí - dijeron que no pidieron comida, pero se veía increíble y que definitivamente volverían. Así que con eso en mente, decidimos probarlo! Es muy acogedor abajo, con taburetes principalmente (que cuando estaba muy embarazada no era increíble), pero aparte de eso, la decoración era preciosa, el ambiente era encantador. Pedimos algo de comida para compartir y eso fue absolutamente precioso también! No esperé mucho y ambos disfrutamos de nuestras bebidas. Definitivamente volvería aquí de nuevo y me sentiría súper feliz de que tuvimos la suerte de tropezar con este lugar cuando ambos estábamos miserables por el hambre. ¡Ayudó a nuestro día a mejorar mucho!

I love The Marquis. The moddest, rockerest, most vinylest watering hole in all of London. I never visit the smoke without a trip.

OK, I'm from Yorkshire, and I know fish & chips in the North are far superior. There is no debate. So I was left a bit shocked when I came here and had comparable fish & chips at what I would consider a reasonable price for London; I mean, right in the centre. What can I say; I was a bit upset. When you walk away and feel you are taking the advantage, I think you have to give credit. Well done.

Live this pub. Good vibe anytime of day or night. And Henry Weston's cider on draft is a big plus.

Great little pub with food at a decent price. Harvey upstairs was friendly and informative

Great casual pub dinner before the theatre. We were lucky to get a table upstairs, it was jammed downstairs! The vibe is rock n'roll funky, the food very good but a bit pricey. We had a steak and ale pie, a chicken burger (real chicken breasts!), and a few pints of beer. Service was good, thanks Toby.

Very quirky pub and it's great. Good range of independent beers and ciders

Brilliant old school atmosphere and welcome. Music choice spot on

Lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere, food was delicious would definitely recommend! Small place but that's what makes it even better. Plus we got to see the lathums play there too which was a big bonus!

Servicio terrible, personal del bar muy antipático y cuando interrogué al barman en el vidrio sucio dijo 'fuente de preocupación por los vasos revisar las cocinas'. Lo cual es obviamente una broma pero no me inspiró a quedarme ya que pensé que era una broma, claramente no lo fue.

A pub with character. Proper booze not like the tourist traps in the area.

Popped in for a cheeky beer on a rainy day and slid out 3 hours later. Great pub, got in to a conversation about The Who with a chap and an hour later 4 of us in rounds discussing all things music. Just how a boozer should be.

Absolutely rammed & popular destination but good vibes & great decor, it's definitely a musicians pub. We went to a performance upstairs, which was really lovely and had its own bar. Even in October it was very warm but a general standing fan would resolve that for the performers. Service was super lovely and helpful. Do not recommend the sauvignon blanc though 😅 Smoking area out back & front.

Cool little spot with vinyl records playing behind the spot. If you can get a seat here during some downtime from peak tourist/office worker hours, a nice little boozer. Plus its cool to watch the comings and goings of the private members club in the smoking area 👀

Rara vez reviso sobre TA, pero sentí la necesidad de comentar lo agradable que fue nuestra experiencia. Gran comida y bebida y un gran servicio todo en una ubicación fabulosa. Estaré allí la próxima vez que visite CG.

Popped in for a quick drink on a Sunday evening. Lovely atmosphere. There was live music on, then someone hit the decks in between. They are known for their vinyl collection. Brilliant place for music lovers!

Despite an incident with a tray falling from an upstairs window (that hit my wife), we actually had a great night here. Always a great atmosphere, and the bar staff are great!

A nice atmosphere and good cider/beer/food options. A cozy place for a windy day like the one I was facing when I found this gem. A small chess table and live music almost everyday. The pub has a rich music history and is an excellent London experience!

Where else can you get a pint in Trafalgar Sq/Covent garden for 5.50?! Great real ale kept well (thats coming from a Northerner) Always friendly staff, happy to give tasters actually they encourage you to, great vinyl always playing. Afternoons in the week are great for a quiet pint but it gets packed for good reason at weekends and evenings. Great vibe though. Been going ages. Legendary pub to those in the know.

Great food atmosphere and location.

Seems like a fine place to get a beer but don't eat here. The food was good but unfortunately the servers were very rude, slow, and incompetent. They made a point to loudly complain about foreigners after we were nothing but polite, despite many issues. Then they did the pleasure of trying to sneak by a 12.5% tip on the bill. If you need to go here just get a beer and skip eating.

If you want a typical American Dining experience being served by sullen 20 year old girls who don’t care about timeliness of service, are totally fine with bringing 3 meals out of the 4 ordered while your companion waits for another 30 minutes, your food gets cold and rubbery because you care about your companion, and you receive no apologies and are rewarded with an automatic service charge, come here!

Popped in for a drink before meeting up with friends. Cosy little pub that has masses of history and excellent music. Londons narrowest lane is out the back too.

Small and always busy but for good reason. Decent live music on regularly and when it's not the bar staff put on a range of music from the extensive record collection behind the bar. Pretty much always ends up in a big sing along towards closing.

A lovely old pub, we went into the restaurant. Excellent steak and mushroom pie, and fish and chips.

First time visitor and what a great little pub , done out inside superb with loads to look at on the walls and ceiling , Got served twice at the bar without waiting or being ignored by the staff who were welcoming and polite ......would I go back again for a few Stella's at £5:95 a pint .....You bet I would 👍

Controversial low rating today. Tend to visit this pub when eating at Thai Pot next door. Happened to pass by on a Sunday, when Thai Pot is closed. An element of the pub is that you can select music from a quite eclectic selection. I asked for Buzzcocks during a period when The Smiths were playing. Barperson proceeded to play Supertramp, both sides, absolutely fine. Then, some third side, not Buzzcocks. Please set expectations a la: we've just had The Smiths, so, a second miserable Manchester band isn't appropriate..... Rating moot as I cannot see myself visiting again.....

Great pub very nice ale and staff are friendly and helpful

Have not eaten here. Small unique friendly pub, great music

Great food great service brilliant pub

An authentic museum of antiquities as well as a typical English pub in the middle of Covent Garden. The service is friendly and attentive to everything you need. We tried a "fish and chip" to feel a little more British 😅

We ate upstairs, and it was charming. Food was delicious (fish & chips and sausage & mash). Drinks and beer were very good. Service was fast, friendly and fun. We'd return in a heartbeat.

This pub has a long history, Dickens reportedly drank here. It also has a musical history. Ask someone there about the time Green Day performed there; needless to say the small bar downstairs was packed (you can also check it out on YouTube). The service once I was seated was very good. The sausage and mash I had and the beers were good and very satisfying after a long flight and sightseeing.

Great hosts great atmosphere & a fantastic afternoon & evening had for my friends birthday!!!..p..

Good pub, decent selection of real ale. Busy on a Saturday, limited to standing room only.

Nice pub with a cozy outdoor area in a small alley

This family owned pub is very popular among pub groups on Facebook and I can see why. They had four cask beers on offer and I opted for a Ghost Ship, very reasonably priced at £5.50. The theme of this pub is music, from the vinyl records dangling from the ceiling to the multitude of memorabilia all around the pub. You can choose an album to play from behind the bar and they will play it on an old style record player. They also have live music and other live events on a regular basis. The service was excellent. It is not a large pub but there is a designated standing area out back, while some customers prefer to drink in the street at the front. This pub does get busy and a lot of groups on pub tours come and go. In summary a must do pub if you are in the area.

Friendly staff. Good selection of cask ales. Vinyl playing. Music themed pub.

Great live music venue. Small but great atmosphere and decent beer selection for craft and cask.

Very typical pub, very kind staff, good food! I recommend it.

Lovely little pub near Trafalgar Square. Great music

Super awesome vinyl bar in Covent garden. They do take music requests.

A fun place for afternoon and evening drinks.

It would have been 5 out for 5 but the cauliflower cheese was luke warm and the extra gravy cold which kinda killed the roast chicken

Super little pub serving quality pub food at great price. The staff were amazing and the food superb part for my fussy eater. Highly recommend

Playing awesome music, people are great, nice overall. Would recommend

Great pub, excellent live music venue which has a very intimate feel. A must for music and only fools and horses fans. 👍

Tom McQ played it was brilliant.

Very old and welcoming pub. We ate very well, the pie with meat was superb, it was braised meat like we do in Piedmont, truly top notch! Fish and Chips with light and tasty breading. The choice of beers is very varied. Excellent background music of pop/rock vinyls from the 70s and 80s. Friendly and helpful staff. Fair prices and excellent quality. We will definitely be back!

Historical. Charles Dickens hung out here. Bar has a large collection of records....just ask for your favorite... Typical London bar food was well prepared and served hot. Service was attentive.

Very loud central London pub but had the Olympics on a big screen and bar service quick, didn't eat but met some friends there, steady stream of tourists in and out

live music and dj. Top10 music pubs in London.

Personally one of the coolest places in London☺️ specially if you love music. Food is ok and super special atmosphere. Next time I visit the city I will come again.

Awesome pub in London. Great food and atmosphere. Friendly service as well!

Definitely worth a visit- busy, atmospheric and a good vibe.

Super chill bar. Had live music, but not deafeningly loud. Bartenders were very attentive and staffed enough to serve the busy bar. One of my personal favorite bars in my short time here.

We stumbled upon this pub by accident when visiting Covent Garden and we are so glad we did. What a lovely place. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was great. We ordered food which came quickly and was delicious. We will certainly visit again when next in London and would highly recommend a visit.

we were having a great time until the incredibly rude person (a male) who i think may have been the manager decided to treat a young girl disgracefully. In a break in the live music she asked for a record to be played and he proceeded to loudly try and embarass the poor girl by shouting that "awww what a shame, she's got the hump" and that he didn't want idiots like her in the pub! I was amazed at the rude agressive atitude of the man considering she did NOTHING to deserve such treatment ( i was standing right there and witnessed it all), the girls boyfriend politely asked why there was a problem as his girl had only asked for a record and the man replied " you're a prick, we don't want people like you in our pub". Absolutely Disgraceful behaviour by the man, it was disgusting. I always go to the Marquis when in london and always recommend it to others but i will do neither anymore. The man's a disgrace.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and great music just a shame I can’t say the staff were great. Very rude staff, one man in particular who I assume was the manager (longish black hair) was just vile. I work in hospitality myself and there was no need for his rude attitude. I would’ve stayed in this pub until it closed as we were having a great time dancing in there for my partners birthday but unfortunately we all left after being spoken to like sh*t by said ‘manager’. Such a shame that the staff let the pub down

Nice place. Good old fashioned victorian pub decor, but with a turntable and a massive record collection behind the bar. They were playing Amy Winehouse followed by some 70s rock when I visited

Sunday afternoon live music, relaxed atmosphere, nice beer. Recommend to visitors from abroad or out of London,a bit of a change from most of the tourist fleecing rubbish on offer.

This bar is absolutely brilliant. Little hidden gem. Very quirky with great music.

Loved this pub, great live covers band and a really friendly atmosphere. Great staff, it was packed and was served really quickly. Looking forward to going back. We didn't eat there but the menu looks great.

Been wanting to go here for a while and was not disappointed! Will be going back as soon as possible and will recommend it to anyone, great environment for music.

Called in for a pint after work at 8pm on Thursday. Found the security very rude. Stayed for one pint and left. Went to a pub around the corner and the welcome and service was much better. Security at The Marquis are hostile. Avoid at all costs
