Upon entering this establishment, the atmosphere filled me with warmth, I was momentarily greeted by the most cheerful bar staff. I was then served the most delectable crisp pint of Pravha which truly quenched my thirst. 10/10 recommend

The Old Bell close to Blackfriars and St. Paul's was a wonderful find. It was a really hot day when I visited, what a relief to be in a well airconditioned pub! It's a very nice, atmospheric and historical place. The staff were friendly and my chicken burger and chips were simply delicious!

Depending what you're looking for, The Old Bell Tavern may be the perfect place. It's a typical British pub with good selection of beers and drinks, not big but perfect size when having a catch up with friends around the City. Regular pub food menu and really good, highly recommended. Big shout to Zain for offering a great hospitality, second to none and probably one of the best I have had in the City. Thanks for having us!

We had a wonderful time at the Old Bell Tavern on August 22, 2023. The employees were very friendly and helpful to a couple of Americans looking for a good meal and drinks. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend this tavern!

Back to the Old Bell after a long absence and found it was just as good as the last time. Good range of beers, nice atmosphere and a real pub feel to it (unlike some of the other pubs in the area). Originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren for the use of the stonemasons working on St Brides behind the pub in 1678, it was once in the epicenter of the printing industry and journalism but now is a bit quieter. Definitely one to go back to.

Stopped in for a pint. 5£ for a Timothy Taylor’s. Comes in a nice pint glass. Menu and food coming out of the kitchen looks good. Solid spot for a quick bite or a beer. Nice atmosphere!

Great variety of beers, and a similar mix of classics and modern twists on the food menu. A traditional steak and ale pie is an easy choice, and I recommend the chorizo bites as well. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and the music choices were on point as well. Overall a great experience!
