The Barley Mow in W1
This is an early 19th century pub, rebuilt in 1896 with an intriguing history given on What?ub, the place now liberated from Greene King and operated by Cubitt House.
There are some very attractive residual etched glass picture windows, giving way to an interior with a herringbone floor, fine coffered ceiling with ornate cornice, convincing bar back – with a few obligatory ceramic white tile punctuations – then a lovely black marble bar top above a fine bar front. The walls are black/slate grey and furniture is conventional. There’s a moderately impressive staircase leading up to a restaurant/first floor bar, the whole patronised by local office workers, with quite a few in for a Tuesday and perhaps a more lively atmosphere come Wednesdays and Thursdays when there’s live music.
The two cask options were London’s London Lush then Allsopp’s IPA at £3.45 a half and very nice too, served by a friendly barman.
There isn’t much to write home about in Mayfair, but this is one of the better offerings and I would have been happy to stay for at least a couple of pints; I wish I'd come here after visiting awful Bonds.
