Although it's in the heart of Victoria, the Greencoat Boy is far enough off the beaten track to discourage all but the most inquisitive of tourists. The it does do pretty reasonable beer, the Bombardier went down well when we were last there. As well as a large downstairs bar, it has tables outdoors for a sunny afternoon's drinking. If you want to get away from the crowds on Victoria street, why not give it a go. Just a word of warning: it does get busy at knocking-off time. We've never tried the food - it looks like standard fare.

Read how the management treated a gay group of customers before deciding to go here:

On 5 June 2010, the Greencoat Boy pub in Westminster refused to serve members of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) section of the Labour Party when they went there for an evening social following their AGM nearby. The manager told them he would have refused their booking if he’d known it was for an LGBT group. This is illegal, a hate crime, so the police were called.

What's happened to this place. Some really bad management decisions that's what and a smell that just won't go away. Shame really. Do yourself a favour and find another boozer Victoria's not short of them.

This pub refused to serve a group of my friends because they were gay. The management told them their booking would have been refused if the staff had realised it was a booking for an LGBT group. This is illegal and more importantly it's disgusting. Boycott this bigoted pub!

In the early 70's, I worked almost across the road in Artillery Row. We used to have lunch here about once a fortnight - very good. Good to know it's still there!
