The Stage Door Pub & Kitchen

Just a short stroll from Waterloo, this charming pub combines the best of British tradition with modern-day flair. Its cozy interior offers a warm ambiance, complete with an array of interesting art pieces that dance across the walls, while its rooftop terrace serves as a delightful retreat during sunnier days.

Boasting a commendably extensive selection of ales and gins, the bar ensures there's something to please every palate. Although service can sometimes be inconsistent, regulars highlight the friendly demeanor of staff like Ray the barman, ensuring that most visits result in an enjoyable experience. Despite the occasional service hiccup, this pub remains a great spot to revel in authentic British hospitality.
