The Newman Arms

Nice pub located in the heart of Fitzrovia off the busy streets. Came on a fairly busy Wednesday evening to avoid the rain. I did see on the menu that they had 2 for 1 cocktails. However when I asked the staff about their cocktails they seemed bewildered... So I asked for a simple cosmopolitan, more bewilderment. Bar man was fairly nice guy though and gave it a shot and it was not half bad. However, for the website to advertise this is not great. Nice inside though and pretty clean, basement had a musky smell to it but guess that's from the history of the building. I would visit again for a pint not a cocktail. Follow me on Google Maps for pub reviews.

We reserved the beautiful wood panelled upstairs room to throw a birthday drinks party for about 20 last night. It's a great, cosy spot and we had the best time. We were able to bring our own food (Gail's does a delicious range of sharing pastries), and had the best time. Thanks Martin, and your colleagues, for making it a special and relaxing night so the drinks and conversation flowed : ) Natasha

Newman's arm is a very quirky pub in fitzrovia. It was very famous for its pies back in the days. The area is partitioned in two rooms and neither of them is particularly big. The outside portion is actually the best place to have a sip in weather permits as it is a really driven back road and very quite. Drinks and the team are professional and polite and I didn't tasted food recently so I ca t say of it is the place to get a pie or not.

A lovely, intimate pub - single room at ground level, an even smaller space downstairs, and an upstairs room that can be hired out. Take a look at the top floor middle ‘window’; a cheeky reminder that this building was once a brothel. I bet that alley could tell some stories! Friendly staff, a decent selection of beers, and a pleasant change from the more brash establishments nearby. Definitely would return.
