Utterly bland but efficient chain pub in Soho which is actually a popular choice with in-the-know local office staff because you can get served in seconds, hear yourself think, and more often than not, get a seat - precious commodities which are worth making your own fun for.

Trust us, you'll never plan to spend an evening here or ever use it for more than the quick, friendly service, but the place is damn useful. There's also a regular comedy spot on Saturday night that sees the place get properly busy - but you can still get a drink in minutes. Respect to the bar staff!
