    Well groomed businessmen who abandoned university dreams of writing that great novel stand at the bar and sit in the corners spouting meaningless critiques while longing for a second chance at life.

    Great pints and a piece of London's literary history. Friendly staff, great prices and the cozy Writer's Bar downstairs. A great place away from the crowds - gets really lively after 6 pm.

    Great local pub nice cider on tap. Nice quiet place for a date. 😊 had the curry was lovely tasty & value for money perfect portion. Only thing would be a bit of interaction with the bar staff/waiters

    A great selection of beers that you don't see in most pubs. The fruit beers are very pleasant if you want something a bit different. The Imperial stout is also good.

    Recently reopened after 15 month renovation -- the pub is simply gorgeous.

    From the 1920s to the 1950s the Fitzroy Tavern was a meeting place for many London's artists, intellectuals and bohemians such as Dylan Thomas, George Orwell, Virgina Woolf and George Bernard Shaw.

    22 February: Between the 1920s and 1950s, the pub was a centre of literary and artistic London, and a favourite drinking haunt of the likes of Dylan Thomas, Augustus John and George Orwell.

    The home pub for many of London's intellectuals including Dylan Thomas and George Orwell. Take in a comedy act once weekly in the downstairs "writer's bar". Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer

    Long haired young people drunk on their fantasy of intellectualism sit in corners writing into their moleskin, supping their ale and contemplating life in modern Britain.

    Had a great night at The Fitzroy Tavern on Charlotte Street. Best bargain was a pint of Alpine Lager for only £2! My favourite was the yummy Organic Cherry Beer... http://bit.ly/izEn9d

    Nice little Sam Smiths with a lot of history. Good atmosphere, quite buzzy and yet laid-back.

    Classic Sam Smiths. Cheap beer, nice interior, bit of room outside for drinking in the sun

    Another classic Definers' hangout. Catch us here on a Friday evening and exchange your Delfin Dollars for a pint!

    The least attentive, least friendly, least polite staff I've met in a Sam Smiths. Generally such a nice chain, avoid

    It's a Sam Smiths pub, so cheap. For example 2 pints of bitter and a pint of lager is about £6.30. Make sure you check out the downstairs 'writers and artists bar' too.
