| For those who have drunk in Soho for many years, this is the successor to the late and lamented Kings Head of Gerrard Street in Chinatown (now turned into yet another Chinese restaurant). If you drank in the KH about 30 years ago, you'll remember the notorious Dive Bar, and the crowded upstairs bar. 'M' worked in the KH for more years than he cares to remember, and now here he is at the Blue Posts - just as fast, just as funny, and with the same ability to recognise people from years before. Dive Bar regulars will remember barman 'P', who now sits in the Blue Posts reading his paper every day - as if still keeping an eye on proceedings. The Blue Posts is a quiet place to read a book or paper in the afternoon, but prepare to get squeezed against the bar in the weekday evenings. The food is basic but popular, and the pub has been spared the horrors of (usually unwanted and unnecessary) refurbishment. There is a real atmsophere in here - 'M' actually knows his customers. So many pubs in Soho and further afield in the West End are soulless and landlord-less (a landlord is not a bloke no-one's ever seen, who no-one knows, and spends his time upstairs watching the TV or counting his takings). Try and find a pool of light in which to see anything (never mind a newspaper) in Waxy O'Connors - and none of the half a dozen bars are free from deafening music. The Blue Posts has some exotic customers, and some equally exotic barstaff. The jazz on Sundays is good, and when I was in there once on my way to the Palladium to see Jack Jones I was almost late... donaldking - 26 Feb 2012 18:51 |
| I really liked this pub. Feels very laid back and relaxing, not unlike an Amsterdam coffee shop. The home made chips were the best I've had for years. Only London Pride and Summer Lightning available during my visit. The Summer Lightning was decent enough, but a tad strong at 5% (stop moaning Irene, I only had one pint.) The rest of the menu is very very reasonably priced, considering it's 1 minute away from Leicester Square. Well worth seeking out. Pat_Bateman - 13 Jun 2011 13:41 |
| Basic, unpretentious, local boozer. I wanted to like it but it seemed fairly unremarkable. tarkatherotter - 10 Apr 2011 09:00 |
| A cracking little boozer and a welcome relief for anyone in search of a decent (proper) boozer in Soho/Chinatown. 3 or 4 real ales (TT Landlord, Pride, Summer Lightning). The food's decent and very cheap, the staff friendly and the quiz on Tuesday nights upstairs is great fun. No frills but definitely recommended Dylarolla - 2 Feb 2011 11:58 |
| Decent back street pub just off leicester square. Summer lightning was very tasty. legionuk - 30 Jan 2011 07:15 |
