    Very cute and ascetic pleasing pub in London. We were looking for a place to have a drink and sit…read moredown for a bit after a long day of sight seeing. We came across this place and decided to give it a try. We were greeted by two people at the door and invited inside. There are multiple floors that you would not expect from the look of outside. We sat on the second floor by the fireplace. There was a bar where we sat. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered some drinks and food. There was music playing but it wasn't so loud you could not hear the people you were with. The service, food, and atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend this spot to others.

    The lead lady on the bottom bar treated my family with discrimination because of her political…read moreaffiliation. Completely in poor taste, and should not have happened. We were respectful and nonpolitical, she assumed from our ethnic backgrounds and treated us accordingly. She verbatim said she will not serve our kind. Then proceeded to tell all her bar tenders to no longer serve us. Regrettably we had to get our drinks upstairs. She went out of her way to stare at us from the top, making my mother uncomfortable. If you want a pub without employees making every thing political, this is not the spot. We do not even entertain politics, she just put us in a basket. This is the first time in my life I had to exit the pub because of the brainwashed ultra lefty employee. I love all people and people on the left, it sucks that this extremist ruined the night after spending our hard earned money. Honestly the pours were weak, the lighting was poor, and the drinks were heavily overpriced. It's some fake Irish bar.

    The half moon pub is a great little pubits doesnt do food, it doesnt do many drinksand if you dont…read moredrink the black stuff, you will be looked at funny for the rest of the night. I first stumbled upon this place when an irish friend and i were going on a pub crawl, trying every single guiness in oxfordand the halfmoon..later did we found in a more sober state, is an irish pubcame up top. the pub has an elderly landlord who is not a fan of loutish behaviour and will let you know with a stern look if you are crossing the lineand thats a good thing. have some resepct for where you are and you will be rewardlast night my friends and i were treated to a lock in till 1 am

    This pub is such a hidden gem. It's just far enough from the centre to escape too much notice, and…read morefrom the outside it doesn't look like anything special. In fact, as Elliott Castro says, it doesn't do food or a huge range of drinks, especially if you're not drinking alcohol, but that's really not why you come here. You come here for the atmosphere. I'm no expert, but it really seems to be the most 'Irish' pub of all the 'Irish' pubs I've seen on my travels, both in Oxford and elsewhere (including, strangely enough, Dublin!). It's really warm and lively and great, great fun. It can be a little daunting going in the first time to see groups of regulars there, but behind the boisterous appearance, people are generally pretty friendly. They do live music on Sunday nights and often host folk music events. Don't knock it till you've tried it! It is the sort of place where you go to have background music to your conversation, though; if someone's playing a song, you listen. This is a really refreshing change - I always feel a bit awkward talking over musicians in other situations, and there's plenty of chance to chat otherwise. Go and check it out, but don't tell too many people - it's great just as it is!
