About Blue Posts
Traditional, dark wood corner pub with an upstairs dining room, serving craft ales and pub grub.
Cosy corner pub with attractive windows and panelling within. Licensed as the Two Blue Posts in 1728, the present pub was built in 1892 at a cost of £4,000. The blue posts were the boundary-markers of Soho Fields, the sixteenth century royal hunting grounds. Or alternatively, the name is thought to refer to the blue bollards that once marked the "taxi-ranks" of sedan chairs, one of which is illustrated on the pub sign.

The best fish n chips in London! We've been there in may, the service is super correct considering that it is a PUB and they were already armoured of people at the bar. The waiters were very kind, the place itself is very cozy and the food is absolutely insane! I recommend xx

Came on a Sunday for the Sunday roast. My wife and I couldn’t decide between the chicken and the beef to share so we ordered both! Both were absolutely delicious and I can’t recommend it enough here. Spotlight on the cauliflower, wow. The staff were amazing and being nestled into a very cool area makes this spot a nice place to stop in for food and drink.

We came here to watch the Chelsea vs. Manchester game and get some food and cocktails on a Sunday. I looked up reviews on their roast to see if we wanted to order it and were a bit discouraged from a previous review and photo, though props to management for responding and sharing the disapproval and mentioning they'd be training on a more elevated / corrected Sunday Roast. My friend ordered it and it looked 1000X better than the other photo - koodos to the team! The bartenders and servers were great and provided recommendations for cocktails, though they were out of many shots on the cocktail…

Entered there by chance looking for a meat pie and found a great one! Really worth eating it! Nice beer options as well. I didn’t have it, but if you are a beer enthusiast you can try some fresh beer from the tap (without pressure)

A quiet start to the day at the Blue Posts in Kingly Street, close to Carnaby Street. A fine pint of Amstel, good and cold. This is a pub with a small footprint and a big heart. There is a good offering of both keg and cask beers and ales as well as all those complex offerings in the fridge or on the top shelf. A most enjoyable place for a drink and a traditional pub meal (if you are on solids).
