Qype: The Toucan in London

London - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Pubs & Bars - Pubs

The Toucan is a little Soho legend. Just off Soho Square, this very small pub is spread across two floors (ground and basement) and er...the street outside. It's not the smoking ban that has driven the drinkers of the Toucan out onto the street - its the fact that it seats about 40 and yet any night from Wednesday onwards it usually has about 200 people trying to get a drink.

But don't let that put you off - it's a great place for a very good pint of guiness and has a very nice relaxed atmosphere to it.

As has already been written - its probably at its best on a quiet afternoon or early week night when you can just sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the place, but its good fun at any time.

Price is pretty much your usual Soho. The food when I've had it has been fine both taste and price - pretty simple stuff though.

The toilets are not the best...but the decor and the fact that this is a real irish pub not a theme one make up for the little issues.
