The Phoenix in City of London, Westminster

Great little spot. Drinks were very good, they tolerated my 4 and 6 year old very well. Marius the server was very pleasant and his personality shone through, performing magic for my kids.

Loved the magic. The Guinness is impeccable . The service is spectacular; you wouldn’t believe your eyes… :) :) :) :) :) :)

The best part of our dinner at The Phoenix was the bartender/magician. His magic tricks were clever and his showmanship was professional and fun. It definitely added to our positive experience.

Siempre dije que todos los pubs de Londres son buenos para beber, pero muy pocos son buenos para comer. El Phoenix en Palace Street es un muy buen restaurante! Los pasteles, fish n chips y bangers n mash son los mejores de Londres. Pero hay más: comienza con hummus de remolacha y una tabla de charcutería si quieres. El comedor de arriba es acogedor. El personal es atento y divertido. Vivimos cerca y vamos allí a menudo.

¡Gran pescado y patatas fritas! Vinimos aquí en una visita familiar a Londres y fue simplemente fantástico. Bonito ambiente y cosas amables. También menú infantil bien surtido.

Absolutely Amazing! We were on vacation in London and ended up coming here every single day—that’s how good it was! The fish and chips were the best we’ve ever had—perfectly crispy and full of flavor. What really made our experience special was Marcus. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even entertained our kids with magic tricks, which they’re still talking about! A must-visit if you’re in London.

On holiday with family we stumbled across Phoenix. Atmosphere was welcoming, food and drink very good and well priced and service from Marius was outstanding. He entertained us with an impromptu, humorous and unexpectedly good magic show. Would definitely recommend.

Great vibe here. Great location, very close to the station but far enough away to not feel the hubbub too much. Small garden area and larger terrace area available. Good selection of beer and generally good drinks menu. Would recommend for a nice catch up with friends.

We came at the end of the afternoon for a drink, beautiful place, pleasant and lively

Thank you for such a great entertainment today, Marius is a star

Great lunch with old friend , we were looked after really well , food excellent , loving the calorie numbers so helped to make an informed choice , place just a bit empty at lunchtime

Visited here for a leaving do. What a lovely pub. Beautiful decor. Great service. A hidden gem. Deft worth a visit

Awesome food and our server was the best. Ask for Marius - he also does magic!

Friendly service and decent food. Get there early if you want a seat as it's very popular.

Marius was very nice to us! And he shared some magic😂✌🏼

Marius was a wizard! Not only did we get lovely wine we got incredible magic tricks! I am amazed! We love you Marius

MATE! MARIUS YOU MAGIC MAGIC MAN!! Phenomenal service! Marius made our night. Give him all the bonuses Also great wine spritzer

Marius!!! You are a star, five star actually! You made sure we had enough drinks and you played the most insane magic tricks on us!! We had such a good laugh! Thank you so much and we can’t wait to come back and hope to bump into you!

Marius’ magic tricks were fantastic! Made our trip to the pub very memorable

Just went in for a quick drink and ended up with a magic show!! Absolutely amazing Marius, I can’t believe how fantastic he was…wasted as a barman!

Great experience for daughters birthday and then watching the rugby. Marius was amazing and kept the kids entertained with his magic, top man all day and looked after us.

Popped in for a pint. I was offered a deal on beer on the condition I could pull some cards out of the wall. A bizarre and impossible challenge. Our friend Marius proved it was possible and also came to our table and left us gob smacked by his magic tricks. Great pub, Lovely team (especially Marius), And we didn’t eat, but the other table’s food looked incredible. Thanks!

If you go there and would like some magic (besides good food and beer) ask for Marius.

Beer&friends. Magic moments.... Thank you Marius!

The pesto mushroom gnocchi was out of this world, but Mario made our experience memorable for a lifetime. It wasn’t just the 11 year old with us that was amazed by his magic tricks, but we all were as well. We would have paid to just see him. Mind blown!

Most amazing experience. Sausage roll was amazing. Our bartender Mario was awesome. Everyone loved it.

Mario was absolutely amazing! The food was great. The beer was tasty. But Mario really made it an experience. Our daughter was with us and he blew her mind with magic tricks. MARIO IS THE BEST!

A pub where you can enjoy the typical Sunday lunch in London, Sunday Roast.

Popped into this gem of a pub for a light bite for lunch. Superb pig in blanket sausage roll and bowl of chips. Delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. Pam and Paul

Mario the magician seriously made our evening here. He was so welcoming and made us all feel comfortable. I cannot even begin to explain just how good he was!!! You have to come and see for yourself!! We will definitely be coming back just for him!!! Never get rid of Mario!!!!

Very good food, a magician came and did many tricks for us

A couple of accidental collections of active drinks, but swiftly resolved. Definitely hope to return.

Very friendly service and great food.

Great food and friendly bar staff. The highlight was Mario who entertained us all with some incredible magic tricks. What a star!

Great pub right next to Buckingham Palace. Food generous and rich in classics. And the icing on the cake, Mario shared his magic tricks with us.

Brilliant service. Had a great time with some amazing magic tricks!

Great place, the very nice and kind boy Mario did some magic tricks for my 10 year old daughter! Advise!

It’s very amazing all the things like food service and magic

Amazing friendly service combined with great food - scotch eggs are fabulous, as is every else - and properly poured Guinness.

great environment and service. very friendly and helpful staff. highlight of the night: Mario was doing magic tricks for us

Amazing place! The night was perfect thanks to Mario. He carefully attended to our group and made everything so fun with his magic tricks. Definitely will come back thanks to him. He needs a promotion! Thanks Mario - we had a great night 😊

This spot is awesome, good food, and also Mario is an amazing host!! I do recommend this place, and look out for Mario's magic tricks 😋

Mario is the best entertainer at this place. Drinks and food are decently good, but the manager “Mario” makes sure he interacts with the customers whilst performing his magic tricks which is very unique and interactive. I’d suggest to visit this place for some good vibes and fun.

The highlight was Mario the bartender his magic tricks blew our mind! Thanks for making a memorable night Mario!

Had a great time at The Phoenix, Mario was an absolute cutie doing the best magic tricks that left me awestruck. Loved it.

We have made this our new spot when in London. The magic tricks were super cool. My son truly enjoyed. We got great service and great food. YOU have to add this place to your bucket list.

Mario the magician is absolutely incredible and so are the bar staff! So friendly and reliable

It was packed when we arrived so we sat upstairs which was quieter and moved down afterwards. It was fabulous. Super service. Specially by the magician guy downstairs. I should have got his number. He was amazing. Overall wonderful pub for food and drinks.

My best steak 🥩 in the country’s I been I will said you got my on this one juicy perfect cooked flavor and just how I want it

Called in for a drink and our 10 year old daughter was treated to a mind blowing magic show by Mario! Very good fun and a pub we will definitely remember; thank you 😊

We had Sunday lunch here for a friend’s bday and it was great. The beef was lovely, and Marius was an amazing host. Good value and nice vibe

Mario was fantastic! Entertained our family with amazing magic tricks and went above and beyond! Definitely recommend!!

Good beer! Friendly service and, for my taste, very good and freshly prepared fish & chips.

Amazing place. MARIO the manager is amazing. This place is super “magical” to say the very least. I hope you get the pleasure of meeting this amazing man. Place is lovely, upbeat music and fantastic drinks. If you’re ever in Victoria, London, Make your way over to this place.

Good valued wine and yummy food for a pub!

The upstairs dining room is so beautiful and unexpected. The Sunday roast was generous and delicious. I’d definitely go back!

The whole floor smelled like fish 🤣

9 of us enjoyed a relaxed afternoon reunion and were well catered for. Thank you

Rubbish. Too packed. Awful food

I used to come to the pub every Thursday/Friday pre Covid when I worked near by. After my last visit I will never go back! I also will tell everyone I know to stay away! I booked dinner for 15 people and turn up to a table that seated 8 people. I spoke to them and they said that we could have the standing room beside the table, how you can reserve standing space in the middle of the pub is beyond me. I also got a lot of grief from the public when I tried to reserve the standing space all by myself. We then went on to order sharing plates to start with on the app with the option to order Gluten Free bread with the dips. This food was delivered to the table and when we asked which was the Gluten free food we got told that they dont have any! So here we were 15 people squeezed around a table for 8 ppl and quite a few of them couldn't even eat any of the food. I just want to say thank you for ruining my night out in London!!!! NEVER AGAIN!

Busy Pub, looks like place for colleagues from local businesses to get together. They have a number of high top tables and a section of straight booths. Bar staff were all friendly and were pumping out drinks. Made a great coffee martini!

Organised a work party at the Phoenix. Hired part of the upstairs room and it was great. Lots of room but also buzzing, great atmosphere, very helpful staff and delicious food including some really nice vegetarian options. Highly recommend.

A very enjoyable Christmas Day made special with Marius and his magic tricks.

Lovely pub. Great service, staff very helpful and Marius kept all our kids entertained with his fab magic tricks. 👌

We went there for lunch after our Buckingham palace tour. We ordered fish & chips and sausage and loved the foods and vibe of the cafe. It was a calssic pub, the staff friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for a nice lunch and have a break if you are around this area.

The pub and the people here were realy nice and the drinks are fine. Especially it was a great experience with Marius and some magic.

Nice pub in Victoria , big shout for Marius is a great employee! Looking all after his customers, Would highly recommend

Marius made this so much fun!!!! Best magic tricks I've seen in London - big big respect. Didn't intrude on our drinks just showed us a few bangers.

Marius made our evening. Great service, super nice and helpful — will definitely come back because of him! :))))))))))

We had a absolute fun time thanks to Marius. He has quite a few magic tricks up his sleeves to entertain and make our experience memorable. The drinks are 5/5 too.

Such a great spot drinks and food are on point! Very cozy vibe. Marius is a stellar server very friendly and entertained our whole group with fun, impressive magic tricks!

Marius served us and was a great host, would highly recommend this place. He was hilarious!

Marius was great!!! Such a nice guy and helpful barman :)))

Marius the star of the show, best magic tricks in London - absolute blinder

The food and atmosphere was great! Marius was an amazing server and host-his magician skills left us in awe and definitely made our experience overall even better.

Terrible place now. Used to be great. Men’s toilets closed. Slow service, no smile or any kind of politeness. The waiting time to use the one toilet on the ground floor was ridiculous and we’re not checked or cleaned, was bad. Plenty of staff sitting up stairs in the function room on their phones though no wonder the lad behind the bar had the hump. Pay a contractor to fix your toilets. 31st December isn’t a good day to not have working toilets.

We walked in at this lovely pub and were accommodated even the tables were lacked to be reserved in a couple of hours already. As we were a group of 7 with kids, they helped us to put together tables so we could all sit in one place. The service was friendly and the food was very yummy. To top off our great experience one of the bartender surprised us (and everyone) with fun magic tricks. It’s been a lovely time & we shall return!

Marius was excellent. He did magic for the children and to be fair we were very impressed as well.

A very nice British pop food. We tried the fish and chips and sausage dish was nice. The atmosphere was so nice, cozy and well designed. If you visiting in winter, wear a warm coat before heading to toilets upstairs.

Cosy, stylish pub with very flavorful food and drinks. Definitely the place to relax and people watch in to take a break from some sightseeing.

The service was fantastic, and Marius made our night with his magic tricks!

Fantastic experience. Bar staff were friendly especially Mario who also performed some amazing magic tricks for us. Will be back again. Thank you Mario and team!

Mario is the most amazing bartender and magician! Made our evening so much fun!

Marius was amazing and staff very friendly

Marius the best! Thanks for everything, it was a great evening! We totally enjoyed. It was more than magic. This is the best place to spend time in London.

Wow! What a pub! Thank you to Marius for such incredible hospitality. And great Guinness. Definitely recommend.

Thank you Marius! Amazing service, we’ll definitely be back.

Great experience for Christmas lunch. With amazing magic from Marius for the kids made it the most special day for us!

Great entertainment FROM MARIUS

Thanks Marius for the magical moment!

Marius is incredible he amazed me with this magic I am very happy to have come here

Marius the incredible magician, very strong With his magic tricks!!!!

Popped-in on Christmas - and what a pleasure! I had amazing fish-n-chips (which is rare in Pubs), but Marius! Marius is a delight of friendliness, cuteness and warmth of a fireplace! :-)

Marius entertained the kids with fun magic tricks while we waited for food that was delicious. So glad to have stumbled on this place, especially on Christmas day.

Incredible place, cozy and with extremely polite and receptive people, even with foreigners. Especially for Marius, super good guy and funny with his magic

Top place, Marius is an excellent employee and magician!!

Very lovely Xmas eve experience at Phoenix. The food is always top notch but the standout was Marius behind the bar who is a magician in every sense. Our kids were totally captivated by his magic tricks!

Wonderful place! So delicious and cozy! The magician Marius is FANTASTIC 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing bar in London! Marius very good people!

We had Marius serving us throughout our stay. Can honestly say I have never been so entertained. Great service!
