Henry’s Bar and Cafe

Located just off of the main piazza, Henry’s Bar is a more up market bar for what I’d say was the “over 25’s” market. There are no such restrictions on entry as you bypass the bouncer and head inside but once within the glass-with arches-fronted building, the drinkers are well dressed and […]

The Verve Club

Closer to Leicester Square station than actually near Covent Garden itself, The Verve plays along as a club but sits far more in the bar category. The main room consists of a number of tables with comfortable seating and a long bar with chandeliers overhead featured inside red tubes, which give it an […]

Guanabara Bar

One of London’s most innovative and interesting Bars, Guanabara is a samba dance club in a large hall-like room above the quiet back streets of Covent Garden.

Sway Club and Bar

This infamous two-level club is blended with a  hotel entrance to make it look and feel up-market and prim. Downstairs is much like a traditional club - a big open floor with booths and small tables at the sides with a treasure-horde style bar at the back reaching elegantly from floor […]

Marquess of Anglesey

A busy busy pub in a busy busy location packing with the popular and the plenty. The place is well kept - not huge but it keeps its own capacity well with burly bouncers but with staff that cant seem to serve the crowd with much haste. The place feels a little rowdy […]

The Chandos

Yet another of these independently run pubs on the cuff of Covent Garden, barely looking into Trafalgar square but with enough proximity to pull in flocks of tourists and that’s pretty much all you can expect from this place. The venue is not overcrowded however as many drinkers are not fond of the own-brand […]

The Wellington

The Wellington has long served as the theatre-goers traditional pub right in the middle of the action where the strand meets Covent Garden. Inside the squared-off bar dominates the room which is designed in an L shape. Service is quite slow despite a good helping of bar assistance and the selection is rather more […]

Tuttons Cafe and Bar

A Cafe Bar on the corner of covent garden square pulling in large crowds of tourists in the day time and right into the evening while around the side there is another more discrete entrance with which to access the bar away from the less admirable frontage of the cafe. The […]

The Maple Leaf (Canadian Bar)

Complete well matured Canadian cheese. This bar is literally a hostel for Canadian memorabilia ranging from large stuffed bear to mountie outfit, fake fireplace and of course a whole heap for London resident Canadian folk. I would claim that the place is primarily a themed bar followed by a sports bar […]
