Usually crowded, but with a good mix (lawyers, students, artists, tourists); small, traditional, wood-panelled pub with photographs all around. Lovely staff, intimate atmosphere, all-around cosy.

They serve half pints only. Wine by the glass is cheap and they have a fair selection, the atmosphere is bohémien it feels like you were teleported to a local Parisienne bar in the 30's.

Quirky little French themed pub in Soho. Go for the French house lager. Remember, in true Gallic fashion they only serve halves here.

Relaxed place with friendly staff. All half pints so you can try twice as much of the massive range!

Make the most of the hooks to hand your bags, and forget all the rest: here it's all about serious drinks and great conversations.

A real classic 7 table bistro above a pub serving classic bistro food at decent prices #

Excellent wine choice and Belgian beers. Cozy and friendly place where locals go too.

Nice place, great decorations and atmosphere. The barman, not very well prepared but it's cheap!

There is an extensive selection of wines, beers (only half pint) and a famous Bloody Mary.

Sit back, relax and order a glass of wine. An attempt at ordering in French goes a long way! "Un verre de vin s'il vous plaît." [uhN vehr duh vuhN seel-voo-pleh] www.wordbank.com

Downstairs can get really busy, but there is another generally quieter bar upstairs.

An evergreen haunt of Soho barflies, the French House should have 'La Marseillaise' playing as you walk in. Read more

The French is an institution, and if you haven’t been there yet, you should consider yourself a failure. Read more

Focal point for French resistance in World War II.

Amazing history - a soho gem

Don't accidentally mistake the blonde bar maid for a bloke and call her "mate". She's lovely, but will treat you funny for the rest of the evening.

Have a cider. Dylan Thomas used to drink here and once met Alesteir Crowley at the bar.
Martin TiedemannMay 20, 2012
14 July: Drink here for Bastille Day. It is even said that Charles De Gaulle wrote his famous speech, 'À tous les Français' in the pub.

Wonderful by the glass wine list.

Bier nur in 1/2 Pints ausser am 1. April. Verkauft mehr Ricard als jedes ander Pub der Stadt weshalb man ich das hier mal empfehle.
Molotov CupcakeOctober 27, 2019
Oben ist es etwas ruhiger als unten. Service ist sehr freundlich. Angeblich gibts auch sehr gutes Essen.
Molotov CupcakeOctober 27, 2019
Dylan Thomas, Francis Bacon, Brendan Behan und andere Künstler waren hier Stammgäste.

La cerveza French house está muy buena, no tienen pintas, solo medias.
Denis AkhapkinNovember 18, 2014
Есть неплохой бретонский сидр в бутылках. Наливают только по полпинты

Für viele das letzte Überbleibsel des guten, alten Soho.
