Verve, Leicester Squareback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is a bar and not a pub. More for cocktails, bottled beers and peacocks.
If on the pull, maybe not too bad. Has a happy hour 5-7 with most stuff half price.

This place is great for a late drink, service always a bit slow but when everywhere else is closed you live with it. The long acre across the road is owned by the same company, i think part of the staff training is to teach the bar staff to pour all the slops out of the drip trays and to use them for customers drinks. I would stick to bottles in these places.

Walked in, stepped onto the planks that were balanced on milk crates and gingerly approached the counter. A barman on stilts did his best to ignore my presence, but couldn't avoid getting into an immediate argument about the word 'Grosvenor'. I say it's 'Gross-ven-or' and he insists its pronounced 'Grove-ner'. This is a blow to me as I have worked in Grosvenor Square for 18 years.
He lost a stilt in the exchange (it had soaked up a pool pork render from the floor and then disintegrated). Blaming me for this, he then turned the pumps off, except for the Spitfire. I asked for a pint but he would only give me half. I ordered two - it didnt need to be like this. I ordered a roast dinner but he would'nt give me a plate - I had to eat it straight off the bar. It didnt need to be like this. I'll go back there.

Oh wow what a cracking night out!!! Really convenient location, practically stumbled into it! Great value drinks...especially at happy hour, lively atmosphere and some hot barmen too!

Not bad, had a decent bottle of wine and some tasty Nachos after work with the missus the other night. Which cost less than �20 as it was during happy hour.
Could do with a bit of a spruse up in my opinion.

Hay so i have been in the west end for 4 years now and neva thought about going to this place as it did bad reviews, but they are sooo wrong. Me and 18 of friends celebrated a birthday there this weekend and i did not want to laugh, to book an area you speak to the most friendly of staff, his name is Jules and he is funny and seems to know what he is talking about, to the point no rubbish, great bloke. It just made organising things easier. I will be going back, my regular water hole!!
