Ana LaraJanuary 20, 2015Lovely pub with a cozy atmosphere, open fire and a Thai restaurant at the back. It gets quite busy and the service for food is a bit slow but overall is a great choice.

Some of the best Thai food around. Always a good range of ales. Bar staff v friendly. Best to book for lunch - not always guaranteed to get a seat otherwise as it's very popular. No evening bookings.Upvote3Downvote
Tobias ReynoldsMarch 27, 2013Great selection of real ales. It is on a street called Roupell, which is listed and features terraced houses made from the traditional "London stock brick" which is a pleasing yellow in colour.

Cheen The CuriousMay 28, 2023Charming neighbourhood pub. Good choice of beers. There’s also cider. Enjoyed a pint of Guinness (£6). A packet of nuts (salted, honeyed or spicy) was £2UpvoteDownvote
AntonioApril 4, 2017What a great pub! I haven't tried their Thai food just yet, but I'll definitely come back here, if only for the traditional feel it has, tucked away in a beautiful old victorian road.UpvoteDownvote
Andy BurgessNovember 18, 2016Gets a bit busy at times, but an excellent hidey-hole while waiting for a train at Waterloo, or for a film at the IMAX. The Thai menu is simple, but very good fare.UpvoteDownvote
Sam MMay 1, 2016Not a spectacular beer selection but nicely kept, friendly place and cosy. Nice large seating area out the back and Thai food. Off the track somewhat, laid-back atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica BarlowMarch 12, 2016Really liked the Pad Med Mamuang - tasty! Upstairs is nice for groups. Love playing board games here on a Sunday!Upvote1Downvote
Marius ComperJuly 24, 2017Great Thai food, good beer selection (including Blue Moon on tap). Possibly the nicest pub in the area.UpvoteDownvote
Stuart DennisDecember 9, 2014Located close to Waterloo Station and the Imax, and nestled half way down a very pretty and secluded backstreet, lined with period properties. An authentic British local pub. Cheers!UpvoteDownvote
Daniel KolodziejSeptember 10, 2017Literally my fav london pub. Great Thai food in a fantastic space. Drinking on the street is extra special given the aesthetic of Roupell St.UpvoteDownvote
Daryl ShannonJune 4, 2013If its Ale you want go to the Kings it has a great selection at all times and always kept just right. At least 8 ales.Upvote2Downvote

Sophie R.December 8, 2012A very warm and charming pub with a lot of character, hidden in a quiet and typical street minutes away from very busy Waterloo. Absolutely love this place.UpvoteDownvote- Dan Hopchet ✨August 14, 2014Great hidden restaurant at the back and nice spread of beers and ales, plus great information about the optionsUpvote1Downvote

John CooperOctober 14, 2016Proper London pub in an old victorian road that serves great beer. Whats not to like!UpvoteDownvote

DanielJuly 31, 2015Great beers and ambience, a stones throw away from Waterloo but without all the annoying touristsUpvoteDownvote
Lidia VorontsovaDecember 21, 2014I like it. It's tiny and it's busy, but it's got a lovely vibe about it.UpvoteDownvote
Vinod DiwakarJuly 11, 2017The beer is great but frankly give the food a miss. The starters were much as you'd get from the frozen aisle of the supermarket and the mains much the same. A big disappointment given the reviewsUpvoteDownvote
Nina CairnsNovember 8, 2017Great food, quick service lively atmosphere, highly recommendedUpvoteDownvote- Billy SayersSeptember 23, 2016A fantastic traditional pub tucked away down the terraced houses.UpvoteDownvote

Peter ThorpeDecember 5, 2013If you can handle it the Dark Star Imperial Stout at 10.5% is wonderful!Upvote1Downvote

Best pub in the area. One of the barman is called merlin and the other has styled himself on Ming the merciless.UpvoteDownvote
A gem of a back street boozer. 8 real ales on tap - fantastic!Upvote2Downvote
Raph TrotterOctober 8, 2011Good ales, nice place - Thai food out the back, nice! Be careful: add the foodbill up again, auto tipping is in place...UpvoteDownvote
Barny MacaulayFebruary 1, 2010Old pub around the back of The Cut. A nice alternative to Anchor and Hope although food isn't same league (thai instead). Open fire, orig. ale, cosy, friendly.Upvote1Downvote
Heather McKayNovember 22, 2012If you look carefully, you may see the pub cat. It's pretty cute!Upvote1Downvote

"Good service. Nice atmosphere in the quite traditional pub. Good hotel with reasonable price."
Odd Morten Skår - 9.0
"If you were looking for a place with tables to study outside of your home, this is a marvelous one. Provided you can work with some noise, but for course. And sometimes with live orchestral music."
