The Eagle

🚇 Warwick Avenue 🍺 £5.70 Taddy Lager ❤️ One for the traditionalist. . The Eagle is located alongside a smart row of shops at the edge of Little Venice. The nearest Tube station is Warwick Avenue, it’s a pleasant five minute stroll to get here. This classic Sam Smiths pub was built in 1856 and was known as The Robert Browning until 2013. Victorian poet and playwright Robert Browning lived close by in Warwick Crescent between 1862-1887. The decor here is quintessential Sam Smiths with a traditional Victorian feel. As you enter, you arrive into a darkened interior that is full of old world charm. The servery is horseshoe shaped and takes pride of place at the heart of this pub. There is a chequered floor surrounded the servery which adds an almost regal feel. There is plenty of seating to perch on, having said that it’s worth walking about to take a look at the pictures and prints showing the history of the local area. Upstairs is a comfy dining room, as lovely as it is, it looks rarely used. At the back of the pub is modern courtyard beer garden, there is also some café style seating out front. As most of you are aware, the beer offering is all in house. I had a pint of Taddy Lager which is my go-to when visiting a Sam Smiths, my pint was enjoyable and pleasingly cost less than six quid. The food menu is traditional pub fayre, Fish & Chips costs £15.50. We arrived around 4.30pm on a sunny Saturday back in September. The pub was fairly quiet with a few punters both inside and out. As it was a nice day, we decided to sit out the front and soak up a few rays, enjoy our pints and watch the world go by. The service was pleasant, the chap on duty was friendly and welcoming. The Eagle is in a great location on a upmarket parade of shops, it is also just a stones throw from Lords Cricket Ground if you fancy a pre-innings pint or two. The decor here is fantastic almost “Stately”, there is an authentic Victorian ambiance to enjoy. The beer and food are fairly reasonable, so no premium paid considering the area. If you like all things traditional, this is the pub for you. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 16.09.23

We loved this place! It was a great surprise as we were walking the canal and needed a break. It was 4 o'clock and the kitchen was closed, but they had great nuts and some rolls for snacks. The bartender was excellent and we had great drinks! I really loved the summer fruit cup and will now try to find Walker & Scott liqueur somewhere else. I heard that out of the Samuel Smith brewery they are called Pimm's. :-)

Hallelujah! Maida Vale has now got a decent pub once more! Just had Sunday lunch at the newly taken over The Eagle- genuinely really lovely roast and damn fine wine at normal reasonable prices- will definitely go back, new management and fresh vibes and very friendly with decent traditional fare - got my vote for sure- well happy they’ve revived a much needed and wanted local boozer with decent food xx

Came in for the new food menu! It was delicious and such a good choice. We had lunch there. The best Mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted. I hope word of mouth kicks in and locals start coming back for food here. The roast menu looks fabulous too so we will be back. Defiantly worth giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed and we need a good local pub that serves great grub in the area .
