The Gallery Pimlico

This place was right down the way from the place we were staying at and my sister, who is a bartender, said we couldn’t come to the UK without going down to the pub and havin a pint. So, as a matter of convenience we went to the closest one. It’s diagonally right across the street from the Pimlico tube station. I really didn’t have high expectations for the food there and we were really just getting small eats as we had been on the train all day and just needed something in our stomachs.
There weren’t that many people in there when we got there in the evening. We sat in the back and the pub itself has a lounge feel with a overtone of English classic history. I guess have a beer and still be a little classy while doing so. There is outside seating as well in the case you want to socialize outside.
I ended up just getting fries as none of the other items on the menu looked that appetizing. The fries were flaccid but at least they were warm. I ordered just a general light ale and my sister got a classic pint. The pint my sister got was terrible but the ale was nice. I’m not sure if the pint is supposed to taste exactly like water but that’s what it tasted like. I guess that’s how people get smashed because it’s so watery that you don’t notice how many you’re drinking until it’s too late. I give the place stars for that English look that we all see on TV or in films and the general relaxed feel of the place, but otherwise it’s a pass.

The Gallery is an OK pub. It’s right outside the Pimlico tube station, so it’s at a great location if you want to stop for a beer before or after your tube journey. They have a nice selection of beer and liquor. I’ve eaten the food here twice and I was not impressed either time. The food wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. The most recent time I ordered the pasta and chicken off their £6 lunch menu and it was lacking some serious seasoning. Don’t think I’ll eat here in the future, but it’s a chill place to have a few beers at.

Our first night in London, my friends and I decided to go to a near by pub from our Hotel. We ended up at the Gallery! Walking in, the guy looked at me and didn’t ask for how many people, my friend and I had to go up to him and ask for a table of 6. He then told us we can sit anywhere and that we just have to go to the bar and order beer and food. It was almost late, so he warned us that they were out on a lot of things in the menu because they had a busy day.
I went up to him at the bar and asked for a recommendation of beer and told him what I liked — he seemed to be annoyed and not wanted to help. I just ordered what everyone else ordered plus some food.
One food item we got was fish and chips, boy was it the worst Ive had! Not only was it greasy but it had bones!
One star for the rest of the items we ordered being okay. If you’re looking for a nice, friendly pub with fish and chips with no bones, DO NOT go here!

Meme si ce pub né vaut pas un deplacement expres a Pimlico, je vous le conseille vivement si vous passez dans le coin ou devez retrouver un ami dans cette zone!
Et si vous voulez impressionner quelqu’un de passage avec une deco typique (mon dieu les rideaux sont magiques) et une faune des plus anglaises (les chapeaux melon cotoyent les costards cravattes), c’est l’endroit ou vous rendre!
La gallerie a l’etage n’est accessible qu’en cas de foule mais donne un chouette aspect au pub!
Le choix de bieres et de pub food est tout a fait honorable, breakfast (avec black pudding pour les adeptes) et autres sont egalement servis!
Si vous avez la chance de voir un canapé vide, foncez!

Nice décor and a reasonable selection of draft and bottle beers to choose from. They do serve food but I didn’t try so can’t comment.
Worth a stop off for a quiet drink after your tube journey.
Enjoy

The Gallery is a pleasant enough pub. A good range of ales (I spotted at least four, mostly from Thwaites), some decent offers (4 pints of ale in a jug for £14) and quick service. Punters when I was there comprised a broad mix of white & blue collar workers and sporty-​types (indoor football and netball) kicking back with a pint after using the nearby facilities.
Though at the shabbier end of Pimlico, the Gallery isn’t that bad a pub for the area and a sign that things are on the up around here. Definitely recommended for a dependable if slightly plain place to drop by for a well-​kept pint.

Fine old pub with nice enough folk. Just far enough from a Tube station to not be ruined, but…
They could really try, just a little bit, and make it a really gorgeous place to pop in to.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ORDER THE GUINNESS.

Good beer selection. Good service. Enjoyed the fish and chips. Typical English pub. I recommend it if you are in the area.

Cool, chill pub. I went on a random weekday afternoon, had a pint and some chips, and enjoyed some conversation with friends. There wasn’t a whole lot going on inside, but it was relaxed and that was good enough for me!

I lived next door to this pub for little under a year, but never really went there as a regular…
It gets better when the weather is good as you can sit outside and enjoy your drink, but that’s perhaps 2 months per year — which is indeed very little. And still in this period it would only deserve 2 stars — not 3…
The interior is as lame as it gets, even if it serves the purpose — it’s warm and you can get a drink. It’s very old and they clearly rely on their usual customers instead of investing in renovating the place and giving it a new look. It would surely be beneficial for them to become more popular in an area with so many yuppies that walk past it on a regular basis…
The people who seem to be regulars are local senior people who don’t really give it much cheer.
I’m not giving it 1 star solely out of sympathy.

Nice enough pub right next to Pimlico station.
Enjoyed a good pint of Sussex Best here. Seems like a good pub. Has an upstairs area, a raised area tooI like the layout.
I was considering the food, but it’s just a little bit expensive so thought better of it.

A trusty traditional pub. Good food and especially Sunday Roast. Excellent value. Often suffers from crowds on the pavement putting off possible non smokers from going inside.

This is the closest pub to the Pimlico station. My buddy lives around the corner and I need a beer and an ear to talk to. Trying to be accommodating I met him on his turf at The Gallery.
What is special about this pub as apposed to the others in the area or anywhere else? Nothing. They do have a good amount of seats and booths, beer, booze, crisps and a kitchen that serves food. Went there on a Sunday night, but it still seemed busy, but not impossible to get a seat.

Why o why do places like this exist and are always full! They are lucky they are so well located, that most be it. The Gallery is a pub with no personality, other than the weirdo’s that end there, I once saw a woman screaming some obscenity, sitting there with a pint in her hand, not pun intended on the poor woman, but it just goes to illustrate the horror of this place. If you are looking for a beer around the area you might as well get a beer at the corner shop and take it home, you will be safer.
