    Popped by for a quick pint and refresh of water and loved the vibe and music immediately. Very attentive staff in the event you have a reservation for the gin palace upstairs. The outside seating ready for patrons when indoors fills as it was today! The food looked and smelled delicious but we weren't quite hungry enough yet to try. Likely would return if in the area but sounds like reservations are a must some days!

    Service was great! The atmosphere is goofy, and theatrical. They were playing fun music to fit the kitschy tavern vibe. It felt a little bit like amovie set in a way. We had the fish and chips and it was delicious. It's worth stopping here to eat if you're in the area.

    Ah dark corners and cocktails

    After a campy out-of-this-world experience at Back to the Future, I took my friends into the magical world of Mr Fogg's Tavern which was just aorund the corner. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival, and we followed a pinball-like ball into the bar area that had a little hot air balloon floating in doorway, which already made it so fun. We continued our journey with spectacular cocktails, one of which was made with the negronic spinning machine on the wall. It's true that it can feel a bit touristy, but hey, we're in London, we wanted to live it up. It's so much fun, and everyone really enjoyed the ambience and atmosphere. The journey of exploring the space in the bar felt very Alice-in-Wonderland meets Willy Wonka. The bathroom decor is fun and also you get a soothing vocal reading of classic books while roaming the restrooms. End-to-end magic, thanks so much to Mr. Fogg, and a neat little shoutout to Ben, our bearded brilliant British barkeep whom I hope enjoys alliteration as much as I do.

    Sunday Roast was amazing! Loved the Gin Parlor upstairs also. Very quaint! Went twice when visiting London!

    Definitely a MUST STOP when in London. We came here a couple of times that's how much we enjoyed it. Old fashioned tavern with a speak easy downstairs behind a portrait to enter very cool. Service was good and very entertaining to see how the mixologist did their thing. They offered some munchies but we were only there for the Happy atmosphere.

    Such a cool bar, the older photographs and vintage items hanging from the ceiling gave this place an incredible vibe. The bartenders were super knowledgeable and made delicious drinks! We came here after a theater show and were able to get a table right away, although I could see this place getting busy! I would highly recommend for a night out. Don't forget to check out the hallways on the way to the toilets and the hidden speakeasy in the basement!

    Frequented this bar multiple times during our visit. Really cool 1920s vibe on the inside. Can even order your drink and bring it outside , there was a drink rail on the outside of the building. This location even had a speakeasy downstairs which looked very cool. Service wasn't always the fastest but we went when they were always busy so we didn't mind. Can get very loud pretty easily since it's such a small space. Cocktails were made to order. By far they made my favorite old fashioned here and Negroni. Bathrooms were kind of hit or miss 4 individual stalls not always the cleanest.

    Downstairs seems like a regular English pub, but wow, upstairs is such a warm and welcoming place. The staff is very endearing. The mixologist is a true student of the craft. The setting feels like a speakeasy with modern music to a swing flare. Over 200 options for Gin cocktails. The French 75 was fantastic. The drink menu tells the story of the namesake of the bar his 80 day adventure around the world. No matter where you are in London, coming here is absolutely worth the trip.

    The decor is super quirky with all these crazy objects hanging from the ceiling. I got the passepartout which was simply delicious. My mother-in-law who typically sticks to margaritas really loved this cocktail too. We also had their featured rose gin cocktails. The rose gin and tonics was hands down my favorite. They let us in with kids which was super helpful! The kids and us were allowed to stay until 6pm, but after 6pm the bar doesn't allow anyone under the age of 21. The upstairs has a BEAUTIFUL speakeasy. The staff was so welcoming and kind enough to let us explore. They knew we had the kids but they still took the time to educate us a little bit more about the gin. I am looking forward to coming back here to experience the pure gin speakeasy.

    Mr Fogg's was so much fun, I wish we would have spent more time there. Around 8:30 pm on a Thursday a gentleman started handing out sheets of papers with song lyrics on them. Then he promptly hopped behind the piano and started playing while everyone sang along. The pub did get really packed so I would suggest getting there around 7:45 pm or 8:00 pm so you can possibly grab a table and enjoy a pint before the people start coming in. We stayed for about 10 songs and I would say we knew 6 of the 10 as Americans and the 4 we didn't know we were able to pick up very quick. If you are looking for a great time I highly suggest Mr Foggs!

    Fun space and delightful selection of signature cocktails and ales. The service is quick and welcoming. A fun place to go for a meal or just to meet up with friends.

    Interesting themed decor and menus with quality drinks

    We went to more than a dozen pubs while in London and the surrounding area on vacation recently so…read morewhile reviewing them, I'm trying to focus on what made each a distinct memory/experience for us. My wife actually booked dinner reservations in advance for Ye Old Cheshire Cheese, it was one of a few we did that for rather than just popping in. For some of these, Cheshire included, it isn't a bad idea if you want a full meal to do so as it gives you a table in a dining area that is quieter than the More raucous areas of the pub and guarantees you plenty of elbow room to dine. Every pub has fish and chips, and we had our share of it during our 8+ day trek, but my wife swears by this place as having the absolute best. I'd likely agree with that--we both had the traditional fish, chips, peas platter and every bite was great. We had a few slices of sourdough to hold us over while waiting for those plates. My wife had a bit of wine, and I tried a lager, lower ABV ale, and a pour of scotch opting for their "house" scotch. The spirits/beer menu was the same I saw used at a couple of what I think must be "sister" pubs all using the same distilleries and brewers. We were too full to try dessert. Service was friendly. Not sure if it was the vintage of my scotch or her wine, but price-wise this was by far our priciest pub visit in the area and I can't quite point my fingers at why, but I don't regret our meal and time here. As for historic interest, you can find pictures and placards of many of the pubs famous patrons from history--Dickens, Mark Twain on visits to London, etc. A first edition of a Dickens' book adorned a post by our table.

    Cool pub dating back to 1300s?…read more Fish and chips were great. Price was okay given its a popular and historic spot. Beer was excellent and prices reasonable Only complaint was the dining area was extremely quiet on a Friday afternoon. A little strange for a pub

    After visiting Shakespeare's Globe across the Thames River, I was rushing to the airport and…read morespotted this place near St. Paul's church after crossing Millennium Bridge. Given the location, I knew it was probably a tourist trap and I wish to avoid those usually but had no time so stopped in on a Monday afternoon for lunch. I'm so glad I did! I was in London only briefly and had yet to try proper fish and chips and I was definitely WOW'd. I've only had this in America, and this was definitely better than anything I've ever had. When it arrived on my table, I could feel the heat from the plate -- that's how scalding hot and fresh it was, and I loved that! The cod was absolutely massive, a thick portion of fish deep fried with the skin on within an incredibly crunchy beer batter. There were pieces of bone in it, but no bother, this only made it seem more fresh. The chips (thick cut fries) were perfectly crispy and both the fish and chips were insanely delicious with a bit of salt and malt vinegar (which I had to request by walking up to the bar). The dish came with a tartar sauce and ketchup, but tasted way better with the salt and vin. I absolutely love that the fish and chips also came with mushy peas, whereas most pubs only give you fish and chips alone. The dish was also very well priced at 9.95 GBP, and I was able to use my credit card, rounded up to 10 GBP because they have a 10 GBP minimum for using cards. I appreciate that this restaurant had free wi-fi, which I found out by asking my waiter, who quickly provided the secret code for me to use. In America you would never ask your server for this but I noticed that nearly every hotel and restaurant I visited during my 11-day tour of Europe offered wi-fi. Good on them, because how else would I check in to a restaurant on Yelp and shower them with praise and circulate promotional foodie photos on Instagram? During a weekday, many workers nearby flood this place to grab a pint during lunch....now, why don't I work in London? I would give this place five stars based on the food alone, but I am giving it four because I wished the service had been more attentive, as I had to go up to the bar to get malt vinegar and also to ask to pay my bill. I understand service in Europe is more laissez-faire than in America, but since this is a tourist spot I would have liked to be checked on by the staff at least once during my meal, and certainly to be presented with the bill. Note: They also serve Sunday roast dinner for 9.95 GBP on Sundays

We arrived just after the work day, and the crowd was buzzing just outside. We did the self-seating option indoors, and sat down to a great view of the Thames river, as we pondered our meal choices from the menu. The location is just great. For a leadoff drink, I had to go with the house cask ale, which was the Fuller's ESB, a drink I've been enjoying since the 1990's, and it delivered as expected. I went with an order of Sausages with mashed potatoes and peas...it doesn't get much more classic than that, and I was happy with it, especially with the quantity (3 sausages!). Wifey was on the hunt for a meat pie, and she went with the Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie, which I can report was wholeheartedly approved. One of the better pies we've had on the overall trip, and the best we had at a pub location. The overall vibe of this pub is exactly as you might picture it, and we weren't disappointed with any aspect. Service, though not overly patient (hey - they were busy), was competent and pleasant. Cheers!
