Ye Olde Mitre Tavern reviews



A proper old-fashioned boozer! Don't come here if you want cocktails, fancy spirits or gastro-grub. This is a pub for beer and real ale drinkers, and an excellent one at that!
History, eccentricity, tiny rooms and a real ale slection that changes almost daily - what more could you want? The bar staff are hugely tolerant of their mixed clientele. The American 'suits' were a bit of a pain on our last visit - asking for spirits the pub doesn't sell, not being able to make their minds up, and huddling around the bar, so no one else could get access. Thankfully it is a short walk from the back-bar to the front.

A place with a totally unique, almost other-worldly atmosphere. Lovely staff, eccentric clientele, well priced drinks. Bears more than a slight resemblance to Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter films.

Should win an award for food. Best pub grub. Atmosphere is great too, very old and inviting.

Featured in Guy Ritchie's film 'Snatch'.

A brilliant piece of old England in the middle of modern London! Cheap doubles, friendly staff, great atmosphere.

If you like old pubs, Ye Olde Mitre Tavern may be the best pub in London. It is a late 18th century building sited on an old historical site; it's small, vaguely shabby, no music, has a great atmosphere and seems to attract English and American eccentrics. It's cosily tucked away in a little alleyway, and must have one of the smallest snug bars in England. Sometimes it gets very crowded but not always. It's brilliant.

Classic poky little pub down a secret alleyway.

Best pub that can't be found...

Take a step back in history. Cozy and comfortable with all the classic British cuisine and ambience. Not easy to find, however.
