There are four pubs called The Blue Posts in and around Soho and this is by far the poshest. Upstairs you’ll find romantic natural wine bar The Mulwray, while basement restaurant Evelyn’s Table has a Michelin star. You won’t be getting it confused with the somewhat scruffier Blue Posts on nearby Berwick Street, that’s for sure.
This Rupert Street boozer actually dates back to 1739 and is now in the hands of the people behind hit restaurants The Palomar and The Barbary, coming complete with high leather stools around brushed-metal tables. It definitely feels more bar-like than pubby, but the beer selection is second to none, with Guinness, Deya, Pillars, Jubel and a host of other indie brewers on offer.
Time Out tip
In a rare and bargainous move for the centre of town - there’s a happy hour with £5 pints (including Guinness) every weekday from 4-6pm.
