Nolan's Public House is a traditional, privately owned Irish pub located in South Lambeth, London. Known for its old-school decor, community-focused atmosphere, and dedication to pub sports like darts and pool, it offers a welcoming environment for locals. It's particularly noted for serving a good pint of Guinness.
Customers generally praise Nolan's for its friendly and welcoming staff, great atmosphere, and its role as a classic local pub. It's highly regarded for pub sports, with multiple dartboards and a pool table, and is seen as a place with 'proper character' and history. Some feedback indicates it can feel very 'local' and less welcoming to new faces, with a limited selection of mixers and no full food menu, only bar snacks.
The pub is located at 33 Wilcox Rd, London SW8 2XA, a short walk from Nine Elms tube station. It was originally built in 1856 and was known as 'The Prince of Wales' under Courage House. There are future plans for a mixed-use redevelopment scheme for the site, which includes the pub and apartments, approved by Lambeth Council. A Facebook post from a future date (Dec 18, 2025) suggests a planned closure, indicating the current pub may cease operations at some point for this redevelopment.
The atmosphere is described as 'spot on no matter what day you go'. It's a good spot for a casual pint, especially if you enjoy pub sports. Visiting just after opening on a Saturday morning was noted as enjoyable by one reviewer.
