About Two Brewers

Classically styled 19th-century pub with a limited food menu and an emphasis on well kept ales.

A nicely wooden panelled bar and back bar, just south of Seven Dials, and said to date from the 1690s as part of Thomas Neale's development of what had been known as Marshland or Marsh Close. At the rear of this one room pub there's some attractive backlit coloured glass, and the walls feature photographs of stars of stage and screen. Monmouth Street is said to have been an inspiration for Hogarth's famous 1751 print "Gin Lane" as it was then a byword for drunkenness and crime.

    An OK bar. I didn't stay long, just long enough to have a beer, I was on my way to Seven Dials market and I said, why not. OK service, good beer, a nice place.

    A lovely old Greene King pub that, luckily for us, was hosting about 12 Welsh men. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were happy for us to have a good time, with lots of singing & banter. Beer was good & food was ok, but god bless the Welsh. Love ya!!

    There was space to sit, we found a cosy corner for the 2 of us. The staff welcomed us and were warm and friendly. We ordered food that was delicious, I had 3 starters and my husband had the pie. We tried each others food it was very hot and tasty. It was a very nice peacful meal.

    Me and my family had come to have some food and drinks after coming back from south bank on Sunday 1st December Upon arrival we have sat down at the available table that was their which was wet and dirty I have gone up to the bar to ask them to clean which I had to wait for 2 minutes to even speak to the bar man as he was to busy having a normal conversation with someone else. Once he has managed to come and clean we have gone up to the bar and ordered the drinks and also a portion of onion rings. 30 minutes later we decided that we wanted to have some food which I tried to order but the bar…
