Oh, where do I even begin to describe the wonderful experience I had at this tiny British pub?! First of all, let me just say that it's small, but don't let that deter you, because this pub packs a mighty punch when it comes to character and charm. We walked in on a Friday night after just flying in from Australia and we were hit with a wave of Britishness that almost knocked me off my feet. From the wooden bar stools to the cozy fireplace, everything about this place screams "God Save the Queen!" But the best part was definitely the local professionals who had all gathered to end the week.
The beer selection was good. They had a variety of brews on tap. After such a long day it was like drinking liquid gold, if liquid gold tasted like a refreshing ale.
Now, I will say that the pub's size did make for some interesting social interactions. My partner ended up helping one of the work groups carry out a chap who had clearly had a great time that afternoon!
But honestly, those quirks just added to the overall charm of the place. It's like a cozy little cocoon where you can escape from the outside world and just enjoy some good beer and good company. So if you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by this pint-sized pub. You won't regret it!
Giving the Ship 5 stars purely for nostalgic reasons! I havent been in there for nearly 31 years, but when Jardines moved to Crutched Friars in the late 80s it became the regular lunchtime pub with my dear colleagues John & Barbara. In those days it was a Wm Youngers House and we loved the Scottish Ales and cozy atmosphere. Being so small inside, it was our pub just for the 3 of us, although we occasionally entertained Underwriters from CIGNA or General Accident there. I even had my pre wedding drink-up in the upstairs room in May 92. Thankyou The Ship, Hart St, I will never forget you!❤️
Great little pub! But, given its size, not great at peak times.
Dark and atmospheric - a “proper pub” - but it won’t be everyone’s taste. Small downstairs bar with round tables and barrels - more seating upstairs.
Apparently new management - I found them to be friendly and attentive. More ales than craft beers - but to be expected, given the limitations of the bar’s size.
Very good wine list and the Portuguese house wine (both red and white) is very decent!
Popped in for a quick drink. A proper little pub, oozing history and London charm, great friendly service. Will hunt out again, now I know it's there!
Great pub showing off naval heritage and supporting sailors on London Poppy Day
Great little pub off the usual tourist track. Popular with locals and week day customers. A proper pub and all the better for it. Don't think it opens weekends Sat/Sun as it's in the city and not on tourist track. Recommended.
A great stop for a predinner drink! Buzzy and loads of city workers on a weeknight. Standard London prices.
Great city pub, I will definitely be adding it to my city pub crawl. Atmosphere was great with the staff being very nice and bubbly which really made the night. The drinks selection was huge, I’m a gin girl and there were gins I had never seen before. Had a peak at the upstairs bar on my way to the loo, great place to hold a work event.
What a fantastic boozer! The beer was superb, the ambience absolutely spot on.
I'm not normally a naval man but here it's definitely hello sailor.
Get there landlubbers.
What a hidden gem! I hired The Ship for my 40th birthday celebrations and had a truly memorable day! Highly recommend if you're looking for a central London location to have a private party. Amber and her team were so welcoming, couldn't ask for more! Thanks so much!
Pub come office ( yes on the top floor ) city traders watering hole
Wonderful to see the pub busy. Lovely beer, both cask and keg. Lovely staff. The Ship, a pub with a definite nautical theme demands another visit. There must be pirates living here, arr Jim lad! A lovely decorative room upstairs complete with both club and wing chairs. Pop in and add to to the charm of the pub. You will enjoy!
Great bar minders and a small cache if authenticity in the midst of high rises. Slower at the start of the week, but worthy of a pint nonetheless.
A gem of a pub! Cask ales, darts and a Latin-English dictionary (and more besides)
This is an excellent pub, there is a very friendly atmosphere throughout staff and customers. The bar staff are polite and friendly. I did not eat here but the beer is clearly well looked after. This pub also allows dogs, we sat upstairs which was a bit quieter than downstairs. Thanks for a great pub experience
Great old City pub. Bar staff excellent. Watch out descending the stairs to the gents!!
I eat ( and drink) here regularly and enjoy entertaining clients for a quick pub lunch. The beer is excellent and always fresh. I particularly enjoy the Tribute. Usually eat up stairs or ask for the window seats near the front doors. I recommend the burgers and the club sandwiches. I think The Ship is fantastic value for money. Highly recommended
This was first visit. On Wednesday lunchtime the Bar was uncomfortably crowded so difficult to get served. But good range of drinks and friendly staff.
The upstairs restaurant was much less crowded and we enjoyed our meals. Standard pub food but good quality and again pleasant staff.
