Pubs in Soho That Might Amaze You

There are many interesting places in Soho that you might want to visit with a beer bottle in hand. On the other hand, you can spend your day roaming the streets full of amazing pubs and bars.

Soho of London is a big attraction for tourists. There are several places that entertain people well including Oxford Street, Regent Street, Queen’s theatre, Soho Square, Piccadilly circus, Admiral Duncan, Museum of Soho, Riflemaker and London Palladium, but of all, the place is widely known for its even bigger attractions, i.e. beautiful pubs and bars.

We have jotted down several pubs in Soho that might amaze you with their beauty, service and selection of beers, wines and spirits.

The Harp

The Harp is a traditional pub serving excellent real ale selection in the West End. The pub’s exterior is wrapped with flowers which makes this place cosy. This is an old pub but the premise is big enough to accommodate a reasonable crowd. There is a small room with a passage where you can stand in. Infrastructure here is traditional – wooden fittings, old portraits on the walls and stained glass windows that can open fully. You can enjoy several Dark Star Ales, American Pale Ale or strongly hopped pale ale – the Titanic’s Engine Room. The pub also offers sausages cooked on a hotplate and served in a baguette.

The Old Coffee House

The Old Coffee House is a solid and standard boozer with a bustling atmosphere, comfortable furniture and trivial old pictures and mirrors on the walls. This pub offers the full range of Brodie’s beers. Apart from beers of this brewery, the hand pumps and keg taps of the Old Coffee House offer a wide range of pale ales and lagers. If you don’t want to go for experiments with your palate, this pub also offers a normal selection of spirits. So if your friends are not interested in taking chance, they can enjoy this normal spirits while you enjoy more interesting stuff.
