The Iron Duke

We stopped in for a few pints at this cool pub just off South Bond St. Staff was super friendly and place was very clean and bright (not dark and dingy like a lot of the old pubs of London . Restaurant upstairs looks very nice, but we had already ate.

Overpriced, rude staff, full of Mayfair wannabe-wide boys … and don’t take cash. I know that’s the new norm but if I’m having my pants pulled down I expect an attempt at civility.

Lovely pub, good atmosphere, friendly staff. We ordered 2 pints and 2 glasses of wine. We accept that price of wine at £8.40 each may be normal for London. But to be charged £3.46 for service is appalling. Why is there a service charge? We got our drinks from the bar and sat down. No one served us. I feel sorry for tourists visiting London who would not be prepared for this. Won't be going again.

Servers were welcoming and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious and a good value. I had hummus and baba ganoush with pita and my mate had the chicken club. Chips were perfection. Will definitely return.

This fantastic small bar in the city center offers some great local beers and tends to get busy in the late afternoon. It is a very clean establishment.
