    Oh dear...I still remember waking up the morning after our visit to the Barley Mow and not feeling as great as I felt when leaving the pub the night before. It wasn't even a late evening (London pubs do close early after all), but we had started drinking quite early and didn't eat much (note to self: go to Chipotle before coming here next time). What I really like about this pub is the unpretentiousness. It's not trying to be a gastropub, but it is still a pub in the old tradition where folks from the neighbourhood swing by to have one pint or another...or another. Given that this is Marylebone, it probably is a lot of office worker who work nearby (just like myself). When my colleague first told me about this place, he referred to it as an old-men's pub and I was a little suspicious about this, as I expected drunken old men hanging by the bar and nursing their Guinness. But it wasn't at all like this: there are for sure people of all different wings of life, but there were no loners, but mostly folks engaged in a stimulating conversation (whatever that means ;-) The best part of this pub is the little compartments that they have - you can squeeze in their with maximum 4-5 people, but once you're in there, it is like a whole different world and you can't help but discussing the bigger purpose in life...

    My friend recommended getting a cider, which I did and I was really happy with that choice.

    Flew in on a Sunday and arrived at my hotel around noon. Immediately went to the concierge to see…read moreif he could secure me a spot since I had zero luck trying to get a reservation on line for two weeks prior. Remarkable, he scored and I literally walked around the corner and saw the long line to get into the pub first. I was seated immediately, however, and proceeded to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast. Room was very pleasant (there are so many I got lost returning to my table from a bio brake. Roast was very good ( but no Lawry's) and the sides excellent. Could not decide if my favorite was the roast potatoes (crispy outside soft inside) or the glazed carrots. Yorkshire pudding was good but again, I am to used to the Lawry's and this is a different style. Peas were, well, peas, but very fresh. The sticky toffee cake was excellent and the Guinness fresh, creamy and a proper pour. Good thing because the selection of winners by the glass and half bottles of wine were both a little thin. Overall wine list was good but I was alone and not up for drinking a full bottle by myself. Overall, very enjoyable and to judge by the crowd and difficulty in getting a reservation, one of the more popular in town.

    Such a cute, old fashioned place. Really really loved this location- only went for pints and little…read moresnacks but area is gorgeous as well pub is very cute. Overall really enjoyable experience. Was rather packed and service is quick but able to snag seat. Recommend
