Reviews for Lyceum Tavern
the lyceum pub is a strange creature: involving a weird mix of theatre fiends, local drunkards and students from Kings College near-by. It remains a fairly large pub (two floors) that is bound to provide you with a cheap and tasty ale at a price that will put a smile on your face. A must for those times when it is less likely to be busy (week day evenings), a pain during those times when it is (whenever something is showing at the theatre next door).
Have you ever had that sense of impending dread when you realise that you've agreed to meet someone for a 'cheeky half' at around half five? Navigating central London pubs at that time is daunting, and for that reason I salute the Lyceum.
Located on The Strand, just opposite Lancaster Place (which leads on to Waterloo Bridge), the Lyceum is a traditional pub run by Sam Smiths. For the uninitiated, Sam Smiths pubs are pretty special - they only serve Sam Smith's drinks, prices are incredibly cheap (£1.76 for a pint in London!) and there's a good range on offer. Perhaps for that reason, the pub doesn't tend to get quite so busy in the evenings, and at my age (!) getting a seat is more or less the first thing I look for. At theatre time the place empties, and you can enjoy the comfy sofas, banquettes or the nooks downstairs.
Food is hit and miss, but I suppose you don't go there for the food; sadly service can be hit and miss too, but of all my visits I can't say it has marred them that much.
