Loved this place. Finger foods were great as was the Guinness. Bat staff were friendly and helpful. Toilets clean. Great party and atmosphere.

If you are looking for a proper old school pub, with great atmosphere, service and beer. This is definitely a place to go. Love coming here for an afterwork pint. They do a really good Guinness.

Good old london pub, good food, great Guinness and nice selection of real ales. Hasn't really changed much in years and that certainly adds to the character, been back recently and starting too charge a bit too much for the Guinness now, we'll back after a while due too the trains cancelled and I take it back for the price generally about the same as most places. It's such a great pub,staff very friendly punters total mix and just a great pub. If your visiting London give it a go especially late afternoon the place is thriving and it is how the good old london pub should and used to be lots of history a pub you shouldn't miss if in town, still one of the best in town 4.5.23 Update as of 22/9/23 OK same as above the Guinness is just spot on the price is £6.40 a pint so about right nowadays unfortunately but hey. Its a lovely little hidden gem Trust me.14/12/23 still great Guinness and still 1 of my top 5 in town. Enjoy. Update 22/3/24 still a gem, definitely top 5 Guinness in town (my opinion) still gets busy give it a go.

Stopped here today after a long walk up St Paul's. It was EXACTLY what we needed. The Guinness was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. Charlie and Zoey were wonderful to talk to and my girlfriend and I had a fantastic time just catching up and relaxing and meeting new people. The Sriracha sauce is also great ;) I highly HIGHLY recommend you popping by here :)

This is predominately a drinking pub and it is excellent for it. Perfect spot after work to sink a few and relax. The staff are always accomodating and efficient. Great selection of booze served with friendly and fast service. They play the big sports matches on the TV's - World Cup/Six Nations etc.. It does get busy during the week after about 5pm but its a great atmosphere. Theres seating in and outdoors (with heaters and blankets available, just ask nicely at the bar) and when it's busy the street is filled with customers as it's a popular ''after work'' spot for many. Have had food here a few times as well and it's always served in good time and it's lovely. If you're local and looking for a regular spot for a pint or 3, I can't recommend The Rising Sun enough. Tony and his staff are top teir

Went for a pint after a long day's work working away from home only to be told that we could order drinks but would have to drink them outside as we had hi viz ppe on. This pub is not some flashy wine bar in Covent garden, it's just a corner pub in London. Absolutely disgusting that they should ask for working class men to drink outside just because they have work wear ppe on. They Happily took the £6 to £7 for a pint though!!

Went last Sunday. Roast was 19.50 each. We were the only two people in there..chap behind the bar wasn't overly friendly. The beef was very fatty and we couldn't eat most of it. Had to ask for condiments etc. At no point did he come over and ask if it was ok or offer drinks or dessert. Bit disappointing really..

Like others, we found this pub by chance, while wandering along the quirky backstreets from Blackfriars to our hotel near St Paul’s. It was busy at lunchtime,so I checked with the friendly landlady if we needed to book 4 dinner that night but no prob. Being an unusually balmy ( not barmy!) night we sat outside for evening drinks, met our son then moved indoors for eats. Great atmosphere, brilliant service and good food n drinks. I had the yummy slouvaki and brilliant Malbec wine. Such an enjoyable evening and so glad we found you, guys.

Love the location, tucked away around the St. Paul's area. Really helpful, friendly, competent owner/manager and staff (they handled a customer "incident" very well indeed). Personally, I find the psychedelic windows a bit troubling (saw all this the first time around, ha, ha!!) and I think the interior is in need of an awful lot of tlc to bring it up to a standard where, I am sure, they would attract a LOT more customers. There are not enough "normal" seats/tables - mostly bar stools - and those in place at the moment are rather reminiscent of an old people's home. The flooring is also rather grim and a little hazardous in area - definitely one or two trip risks. I feel a bit sad about this pub, because I really think that, if it had some money thrown at it, it would repay it many times over. Thanks to the lovely staff for looking after us the other day!

An absence of traffic gives an air of tranquility in the centre og London. Beer lovely and cold served by efficient welcoming staff. There is an upstairs dining room serving excellent food, including a very tasty generous Sunday lunch. A most excellent place to visit.
