The pub in itself is a great dive! Stunning old pub with lovely features great beers and plenty of people to enjoy them! Upstairs is the lovely more peaceful restaurant where we had the most delicious dinner. Really impressed with both the burger and the sage and prosciutto chicken which was frankly the best I've had of that kind for a long time. Gather there is a new chef...well... Cooking at that level with that quality of ingredients is just exceptional. Service was very good too. Will absolutely come back.

Back alley classic London pub hidden in a narrow lane of the City. Superb London street drinking. Dark wood Victorian city pub interior. Excellent larger than it looks, split level drinking hall with plenty of open space, quiet corners and mix of vintage, leather studded, wood framed corner benches and high stools. Wood panelled walls and brilliant wood beamed ceiling. Glass paned and balustrades divide the space creating and open feeling, yet secluded and private corners. Excellent, retained features and layout allow you to imagine pub history from over a hundred years ago. Well balanced sounds, an place for open chat with groups, this pub has character on tap.

Nice old pub not too far from Guildhall Art Gallery. Staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a good selection of beers on tap. The jazz music playing made it feel really relaxing

Small but pleasant old style pub with some interesting history. For those with a preference for Shepard's neane drinks will enjoy.

For the price point, this was a disappointing experience. On a Friday night, the restaurant felt short-staffed. The food was mediocre: all the steaks were over-seasoned, two arrived cold, and the chips were so salty they were inedible. The wrong sides were brought to the table, and although staff said they would be removed from the bill, they still appeared at the end. The steak knives were poor quality and struggled to cut through a marinated steak that I should have been able to cut with a butter knife. Drinks were slow to arrive every time we ordered. Service missed many basics: clearing plates, pouring wine, checking in on the table, and serving in a timely manner. Instead, staff were often seen talking among themselves. My last visit to this Gaucho was ten years ago. I had hoped for improvement, but it was average then and remains average now. The only positives were the warm greeting on entry,the farewell and cocktails.

Great ambience. Great food. Although, can't say we haven't had better steak for a lower price in London. Service was slow. Had to keep waiting around to spot a waiter to ask for menus or the bill. Overall great experience for a special occassion. Will consider visiting again sometime.

Incredible lunch at Gaucho!! Great spot for business lunches. Staff was extremely attentive and everything including drinks were delicious. They have a few non meat options (including some delicious ravioli) so suitable for veggies too. It was not too busy and there is plenty of space in the restaurant.

I cannot rave enough about this Restaurant & Bar. The staff were welcoming and got all 10 of us sorted with drinks as soon as we arrived. After approx 20 minutes we were shown to our table. Wow, what an amazingly decorated underground restaurant. Our host was Miri, who was fantastic from the first encounter until we all left. Excellent advice on starters and drinks. The starters came very quickly and everyone was impressed with both the quality and the serving size. The wine selection was very special and we choose wonderful Red that complemented the Steak perfectly. The mains & sides were brought out and everyone was blown away by the quality of the food. The chips were really good, spinach was outrageously good and the tender stem broccoli was the same. The 400g Ribeye was one of the best Steaks I have ever had. I had the cheesecake (as suggested by Miri) & I was done. The whole experience from start to end was amazing.

Always a safe choice when looking for a restaurant. Hawksmoor never lets you down, and I have been to alot of them. Finally got to try the Big Matt, was nice, but now I have tried it I won't need have another. Il stick to the steak. Service was good on the night, real good buzz for atmosphere considering it was a Tuesday. Reliable, but never amazing.

Amazing Steak Experience and highly recommended. We had Joe as our table waiter, and he absolutely blew the whole experience to the next level. He did the small talk, guided us through the food, and just a decent bloke. The food was amazing, unfortunately there were no oysters available (so I'll be back in the future), but everything else was delicious. Highly recommend for some good steak! Bill was expensive but you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding steaks and even better service. Every single member of the team was top‑notch: polite, attentive, and genuinely helpful in guiding me through the menu and making the perfect selections. I enjoyed both the steaks and the fish, and everything was cooked to perfection. A truly memorable dining experience.

We loved everything about this place. The service was top notch!! The steak was fabulous. The sticky toffee pudding here is absolutely the best in all of London. I had a cough and wanted something soothing for the throat. The server got me a ginger syrup, fresh lemon tea. ☕️ so good.. Also the hot toddy!!!😘

We visited in early June and I've only now realised I have forgotten to write my review of this special occasion. Our dear friends invited us for a dinner to their favourite Hawksmoor location. In fact his was our first time at any Hawksmoor and we were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. All food and drinks were mouthwatering, delicious and of high quality. The atmosphere and ambience were just perfect for our needs. We received attentive but not intrusive service. Lavatories were clean and well looked after. We definitely recommend and look forward visiting again soon. Thank you

I recently had my work leaving drinks here. Patricia and the team were brilliant! From booking an area to being really helpful on the evening. Nothing was too much trouble. All of the staff are really good, and it makes a nice change to see genuinely happy staff. Thanks again, and I’ll definitely pop in for a beer when I’m next in the area👍

We hosted a client event in a corner of this pub. Food was great, though not very varied. The staff were fantastic, especially a female with dark hair - great service. Choice of drinks is adequate. The place had a good buzz, which we all enjoyed. Overall, I would recommend for a pint or even hosting a small event.

Our business drinks were a success thanks to Victor who was an absolute star! Please give him a rise, voucher, something! We will definitely be back just because of him 😊 One suggestion is to turn the music a little bit down for people to talk to each other without shouting 😂

We had two and one pint of Jubel, with their green curry and steak pie. The beer and the meals were both awesome. Not to large, not too salty, plenty of flavor. The beer was refreshing and perfect after w day exploring London. Brilliant service from a very friendly staff. If you see and friendly Romanian with a fantastic mustache - you're in good hands. Music is a great play list of slick 90s memories. Atmosphere is what I would want out of any pub in the area. Well priced, very similar to what we'd pay back home in Canada. For the same food and service. Recommend. 5/5 Top Shelf

Nice pint, but the staff can be a bit overbearing about forbidding the consumption of food brought from outside the premises. You’re not making me want to buy your food, you’re making me want to go somewhere else to have a pint while I eat my sandwich.

Loved the whole experience, the food was themed perfectly, the whole vibe of the audience was amazing, friendly and hyped up and the 2 female staff members who were organising at the beginning had all the audience participating, yelling out answers to the quiz and laughing along. All the staff were fantastic to be honest. Looking at the menu online I thought I would still need to go mcdonalds before heading home but I was stuffed at the end in a good way.

Great place! Did a taste the film experience. Had a fabulous time and they were able to cater for my very complex dietary issues. Lovely building and decor inside

Visited this venue for an Alice in Wonderland themed night with Taste Film. Fantastic idea for an interesting and unique date night! Head back to the movies and enjoy great food, on theme, at the same time!
Alisha Chering - 4 months ago

Went to TasteFilm to see Chef in April 2025. Was a bit difficult to find the location but once inside the atmosphere is cozy, warm and the host was really welcoming. The quiz at the start breaks the ice and gets you in the mood for the film. The food is AMAZING. It's small portions but you leave feeling full as the courses are spread over 2 hours. The menu is well thought out and extremely tasty. Ordering extra drinks is quick and easy with a QR code on the table. 10/10! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be coming back with my mum next time!

We had so much fun at Taste film watching Pulp Fiction. The atmosphere was incredible and whole idea of dining with the stars in the movie was magical. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing something a little different.

I came here for a quick lunch, and was more than impressed. authentic, healthy and high quality fast food. The past was steaming hot and delicious, and the man behind the counter was incredibly warm and friendly. In terms of fast food, superlative!

The pasta and coffee combination sounds bit awkward but that’s what I bought from Coco Di Mama and I never regretted my decision. I am all time pasta lover but coffee is something I am very particular about and here I did t get disappointed. The taste of coffee is something specially different. #vikrmn

I guess red pesto is missing in this one, kind of bland. Usually this place is ok
Chandra Sekhar - 6 years ago

I love the coffee here - it's smooth, well-rounded and flavoursome without being bitter. And it's consistently good too. The queue to pick up the coffee can be a bit haphazard and annoying, but they always get the order correct and it's worth it. The breakfast pots are tasty too - the avocado and egg pot is healthy without being dull to eat. The sourdough breakfast baguette is actually as well filled and tasty as the menu photo suggests!

Incredible. Had my hen party here and it was so good. The food isn’t what you go there for so I get it’s not the best quality. But the vibes, fun and party make up for it! So so good highly recommend for fun with your besties!!

We hosted our work Christmas party for a group of 126 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, the communication with the team was excellent—every detail was handled smoothly and efficiently. The staff on the night were super helpful and incredibly friendly, making sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. The three-course meal was delicious, with plenty of compliments from our team about the quality of the food. They were also extremely accommodating when our live band arrived to set up. The space worked perfectly for both the seated dinner and the band’s performance, creating a great atmosphere for the evening. I can’t recommend Austin Friars Balls Brothers enough for any large event or party. A huge thank you to the team for helping us create such a memorable night!

I had a lovely evening here with my girlfriend. Brilliant service from Alberto and even better recommendations. The cocktails were sublime especially the limited edition “Lychee Margarita”. 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the city!

This pub is our go-to! The staff are great, the beer and drinks selection is excellent and they aren't horrendously packed after work on Wednesdays/Thursdays. Don't come here, it's our perfect spot 😋

A busy London vibing pub opposite Liverpool Station, a trendy place to hangout for a quick drink, lounges on different levels and a private one to rent on the top floor. A great selection of beers available on the tap. Delicious smelling food you'll not be disappointed. It also hosts a nice outdoor drinking area with tables and chairs for when the weather's good

I visited this site for the first time to meet a friend and I was amazed at how friendly the staff were and especially considering it was a busy Friday night, the service was also excellent. Our food arrived quite quickly and was piping hot and tasted great. I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this location, you could see why it was so busy as it is such a nice location. Loved the decor, loved the different sections of the pub as well as we had a table booked in a little nook which gave us privacy and we didn't need to shout across the table. Fully recommend.

Came by for a quick drink. Located at the rear of Liverpool Street station. Tables outside.Sports on show. Great choice of drinks at usual London prices. Service was...well it looks like the guy who served us, it was probably his first shift, obviously a bit slow and kept asking people for assistance on what to do (I do understand, everyone's got to start somewhere, but on a busy day when they're showing a big football match?) nice vibe to the place, obviously very sporty on the day we went.I imagine it's a really nice place when sports events aren't showing and you have little kids in the pub trying to sell you scarves.

I had an excellent experience booking “The office bar” in the first floor. The staff were really friendly the booking process was seamless and we were allowed to play music in the sound system and dance. I couldn’t recommend more for a private function. Very reasonably priced. A big thank you !
