The Victoria Taps

Unmatched Brunches and Exceptional Service Await!

Ah, the Victoria Taps in London, tucked cozily amidst the bustling heart of Victoria. It's one of those quintessential British pubs where every visit feels like a melodious blend of warmth and wistfulness, wrapped in a heaping dollop of nostalgia. Upon entering, you're greeted by a gallery of tattooed queens – not your typical pub jewels, but perfectly in sync with the eclectic pulse of this wonderfully welcoming den. The atmosphere here is always electrifying, thanks to the camaraderie fostered by its affable staff. Saints like Melanie, Daisy, and a dazzling cast from Ryan to Carl make you feel less like a customer and more like an old friend they've been eagerly awaiting for ages. Clever bartenders such as Marco even help you navigate the extensive drink menu with finesse, ensuring nobody leaves dissatisfied.

Then there's the inevitable indulgence in their renowned bottomless brunch, often hailed the highlight of many weekends. Daisy, with her poised charm, seamlessly balances between table banter and swift service, ensuring your drink never runs dry. The libations flow as smoothly as old jazz on vinyl, with seemingly endless acres of tequila-laden drink variations to quench a thirst. Despite minor hiccups like the phase where some sprightly fish were mistaken for Cod-tail imposters, the culinary side seizes redemption through delightful burrito bowls and gloriously overstuffed burgers. Here lies the beauty of Victoria Taps: each foible is effortlessly overshadowed by genuine hospitality and an ambience as inviting as a warm embrace. It’s these small flicks of geniality that reel guests back time and again, making it the sort of place you'd recommend to any corner of the earth-dwelling comrade or corporeal cousin venturing towards central London. — Milo Tastemaker
