The Blue Posts is a historic and traditional London pub, often referred to as a 'boozer,' located in the heart of Soho. Dating back to the 17th century and rebuilt in 1914, it retains its classic character with rich wooden panelling, ornate windows, and traditional decor. It stands out as a wet-led establishment, focusing primarily on drinks rather than food, offering a comforting and authentic pub experience distinct from modern gastro pubs. The building also houses two other distinct venues: The Mulwray (a bar) and Evelyn's Table (a restaurant).
Customers consistently praise The Blue Posts for its authentic, old-school London pub atmosphere, describing it as a 'Soho institution' that 'oozes with character.' Reviewers appreciate its welcoming vibe, great atmosphere, good value, and superb, friendly service. It's seen as a place that holds onto the charm of old Soho, offering a relaxed environment with traditional decor, including a classic pub carpet and occasional 80s tunes. Many highlight its contrast to more generic or 'soulless' modern pubs.
The Blue Posts building has historical connections, including a green plaque commemorating Jessie Matthews, a British actress born on Berwick Street. It was famously depicted as being destroyed by a brontosaurus in the 1925 animated film 'The Lost World' and has even been featured in an episode of 'Peppa Pig.' The existence of multiple pubs named 'The Blue Posts' in the West End is a notable historical quirk.
