Hidden down a backstreet it's an ideal meet-up pre any of the Hyde Park gigs (which is why I went). Small, nay dinky, it seemed to attract a mix of posh types from Belgravia offices, some American toursits, and one or two people from local consulates and embassies. Service was slow, but I'm guessing it was a busier night than normal. The burger was expensive but good. I'll pop in again next time I'm around, but won't seek it out in a rush. read more

To me, this pub is the best that I have yet found in London. The bar staff is always friendly, the type of people attracted are amiable, and the Atmosphere is exactly what a London pub should be. The beer is good; a fine selection of cask ales from taps that are obviously well cleaned. The food is better than most pubs priding themselves on their fare. I'm not one for cocktails but I hear they do a Bloody Mary second to none. More than that, this pub has genuine class and history. The bank notes on the ceiling include a few from countries no longer in existence. The solid pewter bar top is a true beautiful survivor from ages past. On the mews, it is quiet outside and intimate inside. Come here with friends or by yourself to meet new ones! read more

Belgravia is littered with embassies, executive types and $200k German cars. And this wonderful place, in which I heard a variation of my native language that was so unfamiliar to me that it took me 15 minutes to notice that they were in fact Dutch. It's a mixed crowd though - not all tourists. For how much longer, I dare not say. Loved the sausages! Credit cards accepted but I heard the lady say something about a 10 pound minimum charge. read more

Cold chips. So so burger. High prices. Nice alley. Good service. Lots of money on the walls. Not really worth it. Just my opinion though. read more

The Grenadier - Very expensive - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

We loved the Shepherd's Pie and Beef Wellington. The history of the pub, which is said to be haunted, was very cool, and it was fun to see all of the international currency stapled to the ceiling to "pay the debt" of the ghost. Food was super delicious. We also enjoyed the cask beers. read more

Friendly staff and extremely good food. This was the first time I'd been across the pond in over 10 years and when I landed my sister suggested we give The Grenadier a go. Talk about a great way to start my holiday! The ambiance is wonderful and our meals were promptly delivered after ordering. I would definitely go back if given the chance. read more

We would have never come across The Grenadier if it weren't for Yelp, since it is as difficult to find as the reviews here have noted. We went for dinner at 7 PM on a Saturday and were happy to have a reservation as seating was limited. The service was curt but efficient - our waitress was displeased when we asked for a beer list, which apparently isn't a common request in the UK. We ordered fish and chips and sausages and mash, as well as local beer. Everything was good, fast, and affordable. Definitely beats other touristy pubs in the area! read more

Lovely traditionally British food, well English beer; they had a good selection of a draught beers and an inspiring choice of scotches/whiskies, and you can get your beer in a plastic cup if you want to go outside to drink and be wild. And we experienced very comfortable feelings here! read more

The Bloody Mary's were pretty good and the ambiance here is very nice, I enjoyed walking around this place, I always so excited to come here & enjoyed their services. Truly a friendly costumer services every time I went there. The pub areas are quite busy, but the dining area is surprisingly noiseless. A great place for pub-lovers, like me. read more

This hidden gem is simply a must-go if you're in the Knightsbridge area. One of the Presidents at my company recommended I go here and I am so glad I did. It's got a cozy pub atmosphere but the food is delectable. I ordered their signature Beef Wellington and can say it was the best meal I've had this trip so far. Perfectly cooked, it is well worth the wait their menu tells you to expect. If you're in the Hyde Park Corner area, put the effort in to get there and you will be very happy you did. read more

So good and so charming we ate here twice on our week's visit to London. On our second visit we met up with two other families and the pub was so accommodating to our large group when we kept needing to push back our reservation. Our group still raves about the meat pies and the fish and chips but what makes this place so special is its location (tucked away, so you feel proud when you find it) and its ambience. read more

10 Reasons why the Grenadier is friggin' awesome: 1. They have a Bloody Mary bar and they are gooooooood. 2. They have a restaurant separate from the bar. So if you want to eat a nice meal you can do so without listening to the noisy people at the bar. 3. There's a ghost! Supposedly an officer was shot there over a dodgy game of cards and he still haunts the pub. 4. It's quaint and cosy--it's a very small pub which I think is a benefit because it doesn't get overstuffed with people. There just isn't room. 5. It is supposedly a celebrity favorite, so a good place for sightings. Who did I spot sipping a beer at the bar? Johnny Rotten! Yay! 6. The food is really good--in the restaurant bit that is. Nice traditional English meals. 7. Lovely vegetarian options which are always good for me! 8. You can get your beer in a plastic cup if you want to go outside to drink and be rowdy. 9. Cool old military decor and paraphernalia. You can spend a fair bit of time just looking at the cool stuff and reading the old news articles hanging on the wall. 10. Atmosphere: the Grenadier has it. It just FEELS cool. read more

A true gem of a pub. Tucked away in an atmospheric cobble-stoned mews, the red-white-and-blue Grenadier is one of the coolest little places in London. On a cold day, you can huddle at a small table in the dark-panelled room or just perch at the old pewter bar, feeling lost in time. Indeed, the pub has an interesting past - it was once used as a mess for guards and is reputed to be haunted... On a warmer day, it is delightful to stand outside (very few seats) and just take in the peacefulness of the quiet mews. There's also a minuscule restaurant at the back of the pub serving classic pub fare. While I haven't tried the food, their bloody marys are excellent. read more

I finally got around to visiting this pub last Saturday, on a fabulous drinking tour of the area. Having heard so much about the pub, I definitely wanted to pay it a visit. After experiencing some map reading problems on my friend's iPhone, we eventually found the pub. There were a couple of lads dressed in Jack Wills hoodies draped over the steps, so once we'd climbed over them we were in. Or so I thought, because the bar is so tiny! Unfortunately a large swathe of the pub is devoted to 'diners', of which there were none. Very disappointing. Also, no crisps or pork scratchings were available, my request was actually met with scorn by the barman, telling me there were no 'packaged snacks'. Shame really, still, it was a lovely pint of Batemans... read more

If you are up for a bit of orienteering, it is well worth the time spent finding this place. The food is simply amazing. The menu is very British, and had a good selection of beers, the regular assortment of meat dishes, and a variety of savory pies. Our group all ordered different dishes, and everything was superb. I didn't know carrot and coriander soup was a thing until I tried it here, and now I'm looking for a good one in the US. Grenadier is definitely the place to go if you want British food that is actually good. BTW, they weren't kidding when they say the place is hidden. A note on finding the place: it is on Wilton ROW, not Wilton Place/Crescent/Terrace. Don't trust your GPS on this one. The easiest way to get there is from Hyde Park to the north. From Knightsbridge Rd, turn onto a small, dingy alley by the Patchi Patisserie and walk until you find and pass through a red door. You can also approach from the south; just turn from Wilton Crescent onto Wilton Row and follow the street as it turns to your left. read more

Delicious, varied pub fare. Fabulous bloody marys. Cute, intimate dining room with a fireplace and quirky old decorations. Really friendly waiters both times I went there. The pub area can get quite busy, but the dining area is surprisingly quiet. A great place for pub-lovers who want to see a non-touristy part of London with charm and local flavour. read more

It's a shame. After 11 years of going here for their famous Bloody Mary, it has changed dramatically for the worse. Was over for Christmas, and had one, which now contains Smirnoff vodka as opposed to the Gordon's gin of years gone by. The barman even scoffed at me for ordering it as he was busy?! All in all, a nice little pub that has obviously believed its own hype after the press announced that it was Madonna's favourite some years ago. read more

We found this charming place accidentally as we were on an afternoon stroll. What a perfect place to sit and recharge a bit....I had an enormous plate of fish and chips with mushy peas while people watching the locals at the bar. Def a hidden treasure. read more

Hard to find but that's part of what makes it special. This small local pub somehow hidden away from touristy London right next-door is probably my favourite pub for a sit down meal. The food is amazing, all nice and hearty british pub food but without that greasy feeling at all. The bloody Marys are excellently spiced and the atmosphere is small quiet and perfect for dinner for 2-4 people. The bar itself is only a few meters long and doesn't fit a lot of people but the atmosphere is very cozy. Lastly the staff are very friendly. It's like someone had transported a small local town pub into busy bustling London and managed to keep it hidden enough that it still retains all of it's charm. read more

I hiked to this place based on mixed reviews. The place is impossible to find, really tucked away nice from the tourist places. I was there on a Thursday night, lots of people in the bar area in suits and lots of locals eat there. The food... is normal english pub food, nothing fancy, but with the dimmed lighting and the theme of the pub plus the smell of spilled beer they made it just right. I would defiantly go back again. read more

Traditional fish and chips, definitely one if the best I have had on my many travels to UK. Pub is small, friendly service and has a traditional local vibe. read more

Every time I come to London I have to stop at the Grenadier. It is soooo difficult to find even if you have a map. You must go down walkways and through gates. Even though I have been several times I still have a hard time to find it. Obviously, it is not that difficult to find because it is always packed. read more

Definitely hard to find since it's tucked away down an old dead-end street, but worth a visit and it holds much charm and character. Me and fam straddled in for a pint and a meal around 2 in the afternoon, but the restaurant was full so we ate in the bar area. We ordered the steak and ale pie, fish and chips platter, bangers and mash as well as three pints of different beers. The bartender, seeing that I was an out of towner, let me sample each of the beers before ordering. Beer was quite good and the food was tasty, but not OMG, must lick the plate amazing. To me the though the atmosphere and surroundings make up for it and I could definitely see myself haunting this place if I were a local. read more

Love. Within walking distance from Victoria Station, down a few side streets and positioned in an alley - quite hidden away, which adds to its charm. Typical London pub fare with a good list of beers. Food was good. Service nice. Tiny, traditional and everything you hope a proper London pub to be. Make sure to google the history of the place - legend says it is haunted! read more

I went here on an early Sunday afternoon last year because I read they had the best Bloody Mary's in London. The Bloody Marys were good and the atmosphere here is very nice and old-timey. They also have these excellent Grenadier Chips (cheese + bacon). Bit of a chore to find, which kind of makes it cool in a way. read more

What a fun place! This was on the pub tour that was laid out for us by a relative and although it was a little hard to find, we had fabulous time. Great people spotting and super pub food. We will be back again, especially now that I know how to get there! read more

Stopped over here for a late lunch. The place is very cute, somewhat hard to find. Has a very nice old school feel, classic pub in an area which doesn't have too many. The beer selection was decent, the prices were reasonable. The service was a bit slow at times. We got some food, none of which was particularly good, but it was edible. read more

Let's talk about off the beaten path! This was an awesome local find and we actually did not stumble upon this one - we mapped it out and still got lost! We enjoyed strolling around this neighborhood and when we found it, we were so excited because this is just a traditional pub on a cobblestone street - completely hidden - not a tourist trap. We decided to eat here and it was a perfect pub food experience. The pot pie was amazing - the crust was flaky and filled with yummy goodness - chicken, ham, peas, etc. Money was glued on the ceiling from all around the world. Cool pub experience in London. read more

A bit off the beaten path, this charming establishment offers surprisingly good and moderately priced options. We opted for the pâté and steak & ale pie, which we agreed were both quite tasty. The service was an almost perfect level of attentive when needed. I would definitely recommend going out of your way, if you happen to be in need of hearty eats whilst near Buckingham Palace or Wellington Arch. read more

Excellent place! Good food, cooked to order. Decent selection on tap, even cider. Inexpensive by London standards, friendly staff. Very quiet. Definitely worth finding your way there. read more

Nestled in a residential area, this sleepy pub was a great find. I ordered the Beef & Ale Pie, which was very flavorful. It reminded me very much of American beef stew and the meat was incredibly tender. They had a good selection of draught beers and an impressive choice of scotches/whiskies. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to have a nice meal with family or friends and want to avoid the noisier, more crowded touristy spots. read more

Finding the pub is half the fun. Lots of Americans like myself have visited based on the ceiling. The food and drink is a 10!

Hidden and tucked away down a quiet mews street in Belgravia, the pub itself is a jewel of a place, sporting, what else, but Grenadier memorabilia. Dark wood and cozy dining room in the back give off the vibe of a traditional old country pub. What is lacking here is really a more unique choice of beers, and the service was far from friendly or attentive. read more

My favorite pub in London!! I love that it's hidden away in the mews. I come here everytime I'm in town!

After some pretty extensive pub due diligence, this is my favorite. Definitely worth the difficulty in finding it. And, as has been mentioned, it's not really a "secret" place because it's quite crowded. read more

Worth a stop just for the challenge of finding it. Great place for a pint, heard good things about the food but got there between 3 and 6 when they're not serving. The bartender enlightened us on the phenomenon of the Pimm's cocktail. Entertaining and informative. read more

Enjoyed a couple of pints and the meat pie. The beef pie was hot, flakey, and well done. The place has a rich history and is a happy hour favorite for the locals. As secluded as it may seem, it's a popular place. read more

Excellent atmosphere, great food. Definitely comes with the small town pub feel, I am sure it gets super busy later in the day though, we had no problems though around 3pm. read more

Had a swell night here sitting at the bar chatting with my cousin and the bartender. A few pimms lemonades and... Well maybe a lot.... and a great first night in London. This is a pretty mellow pub that you feel comfortable in. We were not the only out if towners and received quite a few smiles! Defo recommend this spot to everyone ! read more
