Old Coffee House

My first English cask ales were drank here. Lots of Brodie’s on tap, like 6 – 8 different varieties. They also had Amstel and other crummy lager like that as well.
Crazy stuff lines the walls. There was some kind of old machine you’d put a coin in to get different grains. Gold records from Robbie Williams? I think that’s who it was. Great service. Special shout out to Ricky from Austrailia.
The great thing about this place is the Brodie’s beers. Many hop-​forward beers but lower in alcohol than you’d expect from the same styles brewed in the U.S. 3.1 — 5.3% ABV. Delicious! We came here twice. Monday was nice and slow. Wednesday there was a game between Totenham and Arsenal, so there was more of a crowd watching inside.

It was good for drinks on a rainy day when we wanted to take a break from shopping.

A pretty decent ‘proper’ pub in Soho and seemingly one of the few that shows football, albeit often with the sound off. A great selection of beers and ales from Brodie’s plus the usual suspects of lagers and Guinness. The Brodie’s selection can be a bit hit and miss, but the Hoxton Special IPA I had was really good, a very nice American style hoppy IPA.

Like a step back in time. Great Brodie’s beers and pretty good pub food. Hosts Mark and Lizzie are very welcoming. Fish and Chips were tasty. Stilton Burger also pretty good.

Definitely won’t return! If you are Irish fine, if you are not then don’t try and spark up conversation with the clientele unless you want to have a fight! Not a nice experience and one I never want to experience again. Maybe they need door staff as I am dat at the back of the pub to scared to move.

What a cool little pub with so much to see on hanging from the walls.
Just looking for a beer and cider I walked in here and me and my friend were really surprised how quiet this place was since outside there were so many people and in here it was like a different world.
Great atmosphere and nice staff, what more can you ask for in central London?

Husband calls this an «old man pub» though there were zero frumpy, elderly Brits here at 10pm on a Friday night. Mostly young (university students and young professionals crowd).
We were in Soho looking for a quiet-​ish place to get a post-​dinner beer and — fingers crossed — a seat. I had my doubts that was possible in London on a weekend, but we managed to grab a table — one of small handful.
Christmas décor was up, but sadly no hot cider or mulled wine … or even an Irish coffee, ironically given the name. This place just does not do hot booze. Except port, which arrived in a regular wine glass and filled to the brim. Alright.
Bartenders moved fast and the atmosphere is cheerful. TVs had some sort of sport on, bathrooms were expectedly tiny.
Like the John Snow, it’s nice to have low key pubs like this in your back pocket when finding yourself in the area and in need of a no frills pint.

If only the pub was as good as the micro brewery
Ok, I have drank here twice in the last year, it’s off carnaby, which I visit regularly, so can tick a couple boxes at the same time. Cool shops and Indy pubs, tick, tick.
They are tied in with the microbrewery brodies, who are currently riding the popular wave of real ale meets craft beer, meets the world. And I like what they are doing, and interesting range of single hop beers, as well as modern twists on classic British staples such as pale ale and red ales.
Enough about the brewery, cos the beer doesn’t make the pub, the pub makes the pub, every time. They don’t keep their beer well, it’s average condition, which is a shame as the beer itself is so damn good.
So what’s good about here? It’s an idiosyncratic English pub, traditional sticky carpet, aged old wooden bar, shakes stools and relatively disengaged middle aged bar staff (not sure if that is a good or bad thing)
They have a standard pub menu with their own range of pies, fish and chips and most likely bangers and mash, I haven’t eaten here yet. The food and drink prices are quite good for London, particularly central london!

This place is great! I enjoyed it with my friends after work while drinking a pint or two of good quality apple ciders with a lot of ice. The music is also not bad a bit old-​school but it really contributes to the unique atmosphere. I will come back here for sure!

I feel this place has been misrepresented somewhat.
The food is terrible, you say?
It’s a pub in Soho.
The toilets are grim?
It’s a pub. In Soho.
Get over yourselves, people. The reality is that the pub circuit in Soho is depressingly average and you’re never going to get a decent meal inside one. The toilet situation is more unfortunate, but frankly most of the toilets in Soho pubs are as bad. At the end of the day the mark of a good pub is twofold: The atmosphere, and the beer. The Old Coffee House has both in spades.
Frankly, I think the Old Coffee House is great. It’s not as busy as the other pubs, and serves some absolutely fantastic Brodies brews on frequent rotation. Just don’t overdo the Imperial IPA. That stuff will put you down. They’ve got just the right amount of random tat hung on the walls and ceilings (check out the guitar signed by KISS and the handwritten letter from David Beckham) to make it feel fun, but nowhere near cheesy. Worth a visit.

Good place to escape the hoards of mad shoppers.
The pub is situated in a little side road off Regent Street and once you enter you feel like you should be in a pub in the country side somewhere, nice and chilled with a good selection of beers, and if you like your craft beers, they pretty much house all beers from local brewers Brodie’s, which are delicious (as I sampled two pints of pale ale).
So if you are in need of a brake or fancy a man crèche while your partner shops, head here, worth a drink or two.

I had the opportunity to visit this pub tonight and enjoyed a pint of Brodies Bethnal Green bitter-​which warmed my cockles before venturing out into the snow again. Nice friendly staff who offered a taster of the beers (without me asking) and there was plenty of space to sit down too.

This place is lovely. It’s a small pub with a full selection on Eaat London ales– Brodie’s Best Bitter Haven’t seen those elsewhere b4. Nice mellow, but energising music. Brings out the inner hippie. I could happily stay here 4 several hours surrounded by friends and good chat! :)

Busy pub in central soho that attracts a mixed bag of drinkers to this unique watering hole.
Lots of olde worlde brewing and local artifacts adorn the walls but i think people come here for Brodie’s East End ales and there are 5 to make your selection from!!!
What are you waiting for???

Solid pub. One of only a handful of places where you can find Brodies. Décor is quite eclectic, with lots of pots and pans hanging about and even some taxidermy on display. There were two football matches going when I visited. Bartenders were nice enough. Prices were decent: £3 per pint. Would go back, especially if they had on some different Brodies stuff.

This pub was rammed. but with good reason. This pub manages to look very bright, cosy and welcomingeven when packed to the rafters. It also serves some very good real ale. There were a few beers from Brodie’s brewery on tap. I’m a fan of their brewery/​pub (
) and was happy to see beers from them that I had not come across before, particularly the hoppy, tasty Sunshine (not really appropriate presently, but no mind!)
This has been the number 1 qype pub recommendation that qype has been nudging me to go to for 3 or 4 months now. It was mildly frustrating as I had actually been beforetwice. but once was at the end of a booze blurred night a year ago and the other visit was about 8 years ago! So although I remembered liking the place, I didn’t feel qualified to review it until now. Strangely enough it was not busy on my previous visits. Now it is full of people who have seen the reviews on here perhaps.

Beer tasted of line cleaner. FAIL.
