The oldest-surviving pub in Mayfair, this distinguished establishment dating from 1744 is also Grade II-listed. The splendid bar is outstanding with much polished wood, alcoves and mirrors; pictures depict humorous drinking scenes from past times. An unusual wooden canopy extends over the bar counter and brass lanterns above contribute to the impression of grandeur; the rear seating area features an attractive marble and wood fireplace. The pub is popular with business people from the surrounding area and is available for private hire at weekends. As at date of this entry, early 2024, the kitchen here is temporarily closed.
