my favoutrite pub is the cross keys in covent garden for whatever thats worth
Heh, I'll check that one out then .
The reason I asked is that we usually end up scampering down the streets of London while it's raining cats and dogs to end up in the one pub in London that has a barman who only takes orders in rhyming slang, serves beer that smells like the guild house of 'Trolls United' and is full of locals with a strange squint in their eyes. No offense, of course .
Therefore, I thought I'd ask for recommendations from people I can trust a bit more than the average review site on the Net .

just dont use the stairs in the tube station i made that mistake god was i dead at the top
Going to Covent Garden on a Saturday afternoon proved to be a huge mistake anyway... it's like a stampede in there and you have to walk to Leicester Square to get back in the tube
But London was great once more - this city never disappoints me. We ended up in a pub just off the Oxford Circus tube station, nice place, crap beer tho

I found it while my wife was wandering around the Laura Ashley store . It's in the first street parallel to Regent Street (same side as the LA store), just around the corner from the tube exit. It has wooden/glass panels to make for separate booths, cosy place... Can't remember the name tho

heh I see people have different ideas for what makes a "good pub"
Myself I like gothic surroundings and good music... good beer (wide selection of either funny foreign bottled stuff - not just lager, or cask ales) etc. is also a major point (rare to find both in the one pub though)
Dafft's obviously after a good place to pull.
I imagine if we both went to "a good pub" the other would be horrified

Jekyll and Hyde is nice though the beer selection could be better...
they do nice cocktails though
Centraal has the beer but it's a bit trendy-bar-like...

Been to Hakkasan a few times, and the food isn't as impressive as the bill will suggest. A place to say you've been, rather than anything else. Cheap and cheerful Chinese has to be anywhere around Gerrard Street, really: Just look for the bright orange roast ducks in the windows...

Either that or Dafft would pull some interesting women.

We ended up in a place called Aauru or something similar and we weren't disappointed: good food and not overpriced. It was in a traffic free zone off Gerrard Street if I remember correctly or close to it anyway... Indian food we got at Maharaja on Queensway, we had been there before. Didn't get round to fish 'n chips tho - that'll be for next time .

Hey, if you're rich you can afford Hakkasan, me I go to Mr Wing, best chinese restaurant in the area,
Gothic pubs; erm within the area that I live, we got two, The Blackwidow and Count Dracula( I think it closed) but for a nice relaxing atmosphere I'd go to O'Neils or to the Draycot Arms, those are my locals
(FYI: Im not out on tehpullfortehwin, but us youngsters, you know wat we are like.....tanked up on Viagra
