The Ship in City of London, Westminster

We only went there for a few pints, we didn't eat but we stayed a while and good atmosphere,good music was to find! Loved it ,will come back when in London!!

Good location, not sure about the themed "vinyl" nights/and music v loud as well. Good selection of drinks, and good space to mingle onto the streets.

Great pub playing a decent selection of heavy music 🤘 Great vibe and really cool staff too, will definitely be back!

The place is nice, however I wanted to eat something with a beer, I saw on the internet that they had food and that's why I went, but there was nothing to eat, so I had to have a beer that I had already ordered and I was hungry 😒 “Rock” music seems more pop rock to me, maybe I had other expectations from the place that said rock entertainment and Bowie

Chloe was amazing! Will be coming back :)

Nice pub with great music taste. Was playing rock and metal when I was there.

No food, only beer. The service and the ambiance is amazing. Honestly a great place to vive if you like the sort of run down style. It smells "wet", don't sit close to the bathroom.

A pub in Soho that had managed to retain the character of my eora. Love to drop in for a pint of I am in the area

Big noisy. Had to leave so we could hear each other. But that’s ok. It’s a nice pub. With good beers and atmosphere.

Cool atmosphere and music, as always.

This is a cracking pub in Soho which is why there are punters spilling out of the door at busy times. Could do with more people behind the bar as you can be spittin’ feathers by the time you get served!

Doesn’t understand the concept of last call. Don’t go here if you want to drink late at night.

Legendary Rock and Roll pub that’s been around since before The Yardbirds; who drank there while waiting to play a set at The 100 Club.

Always amazing. I love returning to the ship. Their music selection never disappoints. I was surprised that they had a great collection of lo and no alcohol beers available.

Small pub where we stopped for a drink at the end of the day. Good choice of beers, impeccable service. There are even board games to entertain yourself. We saw that they also organize themed evenings.

I visited this place after seeing a show in Leicester square and it was a great find! The staff were great, the DJ was fantastic and the atmosphere was really pleasant / friendly. We were just going in a for a quick pint but stayed for a few as we were really enjoying it. I'd recommend giving this pub a go for a night out 👍

We were told no sandwiches were available despite menus on each table. This is a fairly unpleasant place.

Great bar staff and reasonable prices for the area.

Fantastic (as always) Fuller's ales and a great recoed collection, actually put out on speakers in the pub. Remarkable mood.

Very historic place, good music, good atmosphere, I would return

Nice little pub, not a lot of room but you can stand outside. Around £7.50 for a pint.

Great place to go if you want a luke warm beer on a summers afternoon.

Un super endroit bien rock n roll, le soir où nous y sommes allé c’était Punk anarchiste, lol. Mais tout ça dans une ambiance bienveillante, au bout de 10 mn on avait rencontré des personnes adorables, certes on a un peu trop bu, mais bon on était au pub quoi 😉

We decided to go to The Ship thanks to the good past reviews, and it was probably a good place indeed. Nonetheless, in July 2024 our experience was dramatic. The waiter was not proactive and did not pay attention to us. At some point, I asked for the menu as I was expecting what was published on here and he said that they are only a drinking spot and so they have only the few sandwiches on the menu. It was not what we expected, but we still choose among the five available sandwiches. When we ordered (no table service, you have to go to the counter) he informed us they had only two of the five sandwiches (why didn't he inform me of that before?!?!), one very basic ham and cheese and one with pastrami, Cheese and Jalapeños. We were running late and so had to accept this and thus we ordered one with pastrami, but would've left if we could have. I ask if jalapeños can be removed and he answers that the sandwiches are premade and simply heated, thus nothing he could do about it. The ingredients were alright, but it was very bad that he didn't inform us that the choice was so limited before. Also, quite expensive, both the sandwich and the beer we had. Later that day we paid special craft beers the same price a couple hundred of meters away from that pub. In other words, keep this in mind if you still want to go

Good rock music, friendly staff, only negative no sparkling water or pineapple juice.🙂

A lively place in Soho centre. Great selection of beers and friendly staff. Had chatted to Kat, one of the places courteous bartenders, while they were serving my drinks and learnt a couple of intriguing facts about the place. A cosy pub with a great atmosphere - great to catch up with friends over a drink or two 😀

Bar typical pub style that could be an option if you have spare time before or after any compromise and are wishing for a drink or even some food meanwhile.

It was a quiet Thursday afternoon, just seemed like a typical old man’s pub, nothing special. Music on a playlist was decent. But at £18.90 for a glass of wine and a single JD and coke, we moved on to a more reasonable and lively establishment.

Spinderella makes the best aperol spritz in London

Nice little pub that I very much enjoyed during my visit. They were playing some really great music (straight from CDs too, no digital).

Great bar, great atmosphere and friendly bar staff. Playing rock, punk, alternative music. One of the last few places that still rocks

Lovely little pub. Friendly staff, good service, and good choice of beer.

Loved this pub, proper old fashioned looking pub with a great atmosphere and beers.

I was walking for 20mins down soho looking for a rock bar all of the other pubs on wardour street were boring as hell me and my friend walked passed the ship and the best music was playing we had an amazing welcome from Kat the deputy manager and carmen the bar member they were so awesome they played are requests looked after us all night i would highly recommend this pub to everyone bravo awesome night

Excellent service, music not overwhelmingly loud allowing actual conversation between the punters! They also made an excellent toastie with a pun-laden name. Recommended

The nice barattendat offered me a delicious IPA beer called The Siren. Nice, atmospheric, small pub in Soho

Music of 10, closes soon, super atmosphere! I would return.

We Went here for a few drinks before our dinner. Good service, no long wait at all to be served. Some pubs you walk in and wait ages to be served, but the The Ship has got this right. My G&T was delicious of course and my partner had a cider from the tap behind bar. We stood ourside wayching Londoners fo anout their day. We enjoyed our drinks here, even came back after our dinner for some more. When we returned it was busier than before, but the focus remained on their punters. Great pub, good staff, very reasonable and they had some good tunes playing too.

Super great pub with friendly staff, we'll definitely be back.

Good pints at reasonable prices and nice advices for the beers

Great old place, atmosphere service and beer all good.

Nice pub with music though music is really loud which may put off some people

Lovely old England pub. Happy staff and a nice pint, mmmm

Lively pub with excellent music and a good atmosphere.

this is the pub where 25 years ago, my existence was decided. great beers.

One of the best, amazing music amazing service, brilliant staff, must visit

Delicious lunch, good atmosphere and excellent musical selection. Good sanwitches and chips. Delicious draft beer. It's worth passing by.

Been here today from 4 to 5.30pm and it was great at first but soon the music was so loud we couldn’t even have a simple conversation!! A whole foo fighters album played at 10000db isn’t the best scenario for a work meeting. Won’t be back and so won’t my colleagues and band members.

To be fair I knew I was there but had a few already, but the weekend is slowly coming back to me 😂 and yes we had a great time in The Ship service was great and drinks were obviously good 👍 😀 Will definitely be stopping in again when we travel down to London

Fantastic little pub. Limited menu only toasties (grilled chess cheese sandwiches) but pretty decent array of beers and spirits. Walked on in on a layover in London and would definitely recommend going back to if you're in the SOHO area.

A really nice place thanks to Jad !!!!! I recommend it 👌 !!!

Jad is great!!!Thanks guys!We will be back😉!

The ipa beer was watery and tastes dull

The beer was really good, well kept

We came here because someone had reviewed this place as 'legendary' we only stayed for one drink because it was legendarily dull. It's just a pub, with a below average drink selection.

Popped in for a drink late afternoon. The place was empty but just wanted a sit down. Ordered a large white wine and a pint of beer and was charged £15.90! Even around Trafalgar Square was less than £12. Total rip off and avoid.

Passei lá para tomar uma Guiness e ouvir um rock and roll raiz. Típico pub das antigas com alguns já doidões às 17h de uma quinta-feira. Fica perto do prédio do antigo Marquee Club, locais de nascimento de lendas do rock como The Who e Rolling Stones.

Had such a lovely time in here, Kat was so warm and accommodating, thank you for the friendly service ( and pickles ) xx

Love this place , always a good vibe ❤️

Bebimos cerveza no comimos, a tope de gente ,viernes tarde noche lo que hay que conocer de la ciudad a parte de palacios etc

Nice place for a rock experience in Soho.

A good traditional pub with a long musical history dating back to at least the 60's and the then nearby Marquee club. The service was good and prices reasonable for Soho. They play some great music here, if you like a pub with character then you should visit.

Rock and roll in a pub. Fantastic to see!

Just popped in for a quick drink, friendly atmosphere

A real pub with real wood and great Fullers beers. Great music and friendly staff. Quite an unexpected find in the heart of soho

A new favourite pub of mine in Central London. Upon walking in Throne by Bring Me The Horizon was being blasted out so loud you could hear it outside on the street. This should give prospective visitors an insight into the kind of night that awaits at The Ship. Standard Fullers pints being served in tandem with friendly back and forth with the barman. Can’t wait to return…

Bonne musique vintage et bonne atmosphère. Service un peu en déça avec des serveuses qui font la gueule. Un choix de toasts au fromage pas donnés (8£), que je n'ai pas goûté.

Joy Division were playing so what is not to like !

Lovely vibrant pub in the heart of Soho. Always had a great time here.

Good old fashion pub I've been to a few times but that night, the music was far too loud to have a conversation.

Great selection of beers on tap

Grand pub loved the cask pale ale

Πολύ ωραίο, πολύ κόσμο, πολύ φασαρία αλλά έτσι είναι όλες οι παμπ. Γεμάτο ζωη

Great to be in a traditional pub, service was great, with a smile!! Locals seemed to like it too! Didn't eat there, just the drink.

A grand spot in Soho for an afternoon break. It wasn't busy. The service was quick, and as a woman alone I rate it WOO friendly.

Went to the bar shouting lager, lager, lager, lager. Right before I got my train back to Romford. Bar staff didn’t know what I was on about but humoured me anyway.

Spinderella is the best in the world!!!

We were looking for traditional English pub with some visitors from abroad, this ticked all the boxes

Spinderella is the best bartender I’ve ever met. Amazing music and friendly staff, can’t recommend a pub more!!!

Lovely pub, perfect to stand outside and watch the world go by, or sit inside and chill. Nice beer 🍺

Only popped in for a couple of drinks but great music if you like the old stuff! I loved it.

Great vibe, cosy pub, great music.

Personal muy atento y amable. Muy bien ambiente

Great pub. Lively atmosphere. Good rock music playing. Good choice of beers. Well worth a visit.

My sort of pub. It had London Pride. The barmaid kindly let me eat my lunch from elsewhere with my pint. In return I took my rubbish with me and left the empty pint back at the bar.

Lugar ideal para tomarse unas pintas por el Soho

Classic West End Pub. A haunt of many a rocker over the years and better prices than many in the area. Used to be a frequent haunt of mine before going to the Astoria or Marquee (sadly, both now closed down).

I came here for my birthday my partner ordered at the bar two drinks a double vodka redbull and a pint of lager and it came to £22.80…. Either the barmaid/barman helped himself or the drinks are massively overpriced…. Still confused

One of the few remaining original Soho spots

Hidden gem in Soho without any doubt. Loved the service and sambuca shots

Un pub de quartier sympa dans une belle bâtisse, service nickel, gros choix de bière ! Musique et bonne ambiance garanties

Bit noisy for conversation. Great beer.

Wonderful service and recommendations, such a great vibe.

A piece of Rock n Roll history, has to be visited!!! Turn the corner and check out the old Trident Studios!

Lovely historic pub with tons of character and characters.

Love this place Great afternoon vibes

Barmaid yawned in my husbands face, awful service, won't be back

Trad pub which inexplicably had a very loud dj which seemed out of character. They weren't bad, just out of place

Fantastic variety of sweet treats. Indulgence overload. Make a plan for a visit

My favourite place for a drink when in London. Good vibes in a great location. Didn't try the food options but only because we'd already eaten.
