Excellent variety of ciders! Classic English pub vibes and very reasonable prices. Quick service. We only stopping by briefly but I did have the sweet potato fries… worth visiting just for a bowl of them bad boys(definately more-ish). Nice pub slightly away tucked away from the busier streets nearby.

The Green Man is a nice alternative to all the extra pricey locations in central London! Really close to Oxford Street, this nice pub has an amazing selection of ciders, cocktails(check their deals, mindblowing!) And different types of food. Service is good, location and prices are excelent but holy moly, the lovely scent that invades tje restrooms is quite unpleasing. It couldnt be perfect! Still, the place I will go for those after work drinks :)

A bit quiet during the day on Saturday, it’s a nice place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. If you like ciders, this is the place for you. Try The Green Man, which is their signature cider! They also have a varied offering of wines and beers so everyone will be happy. We popped in for a Sunday roast which was pretty good and ok value considering you’re in Central London. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was very calm. A great place for a mid afternoon catchup over a few drinks. I haven’t been there on a weeknight or even a weekend night so not sure if the vibe changes then. Worth a stop if you are in the area and looking for a nice pub to have a drink in.

Mother of ciders! As most of the review mention, the pub offers a great variety of ciders and all sorts of finger food and delicious burgers. There’s this special dish(at least for me it holds a pretty dear memory) — sausages, beer mustard mash and red wine gravy. It is so delicious, my taste buts are now begging me to go there and order some. I really love the décor — simple, yet forming a nice and calming eating spot.

If you like cider you’ll love this place, best cider house around(probably only one). Place has comfy seating with outside seating/standing area. Reasonable prices with a great selection of ciders

Ok-but same menu as many other pubs in London such as the Angel in Highgate etc(must be part of a chain). Food is fine, staff were a bit sullen. Not bad for a drink but there are better places to eat nearby.

Cider-central! The Green Man is a castle pub with a distinctly appley flavour. And I love it. Staff are usually smiley… and really, what more can you expect? Love cider, love The Green Man.

Rarely do I find the opportunity to wield the hammer of Unilocal for social good. But after last night, I feel compelled – nay, inspired – to do so. The Green Man looks pleasant from the outside. It even looks quite pleasant on the inside. Interact with the xenophobic, vindictive staff, though, and this veneer of hospitality begins to fall apart. Last night, I wandered into The Green Man with a few friends. The first approached the bar and ordered the house cider(which looks a lot like urine, by the way…). I followed suit and was asked for an ID. This is not unusual: as a youthful-looking 21-year-old, I have probably been ID’d in a third of the London establishments I’ve entered over the past two months. I handed the homely bartender my US driver’s license, which she scrutinized for about thirty seconds before handing it back to me. Apparently it was ‘very likely fake’ and she had no ability to determine its authenticity. I handed over two other IDs showing the same birthday to no effect. She deemed it more plausible that I had faked multiple forms of ID than that I wasn’t 18. Funny, because another friend had just received a beer with their own license from the same state as mine. A double standard, eh? I noted this to the bartender, who shrugged. Two other friends went back for a second drink, were ID’d this time, and were denied service by the same bartender who had given them their first beverage. If it smells fishy, it’s because it was, indeed, fishy. As a law-abiding, jolly American citizen, it hurt to be denied service at a local pub. Apparently I was just not good enough. Undeterred, we politely stated our intention to leave and moved on to another pub a block away – The Yorkshire Grey – and had a fantastic end to a very demeaning night. If you care about common human decency and yearn for a day when all patrons will be treated equally, regardless of appearance or nationality, avoid this lackluster pub in favor of one of the other friendly outposts in the area. You’ll be glad you did.

Wir haben uns den Pub aufgrund guter Bewertungen bei Qype und anderen Gastroseiten ausgesucht. Außerdem lag der Pub genau in der Gegend in der wir Tagsüber zu tun hatten. Wir wurden nicht entäuscht! Es gibt dort eine große Auswahl an Bieren und Cider. Wir wurden gefragt ob wir es lieber lieblich oder herb mögen. Nachdem die grobe Richtung ungefähr herausgefunden war, gab man uns mehrere kleine Gläser zum probieren. So haben wir dann unsere Lieblingssorte gefunden und konnten uns zwei schöné Stunden mit Essen und trinken gönnn. Das Essen war gut, aber geschmacklich nicht so ganz unsere Richtiung. Was aber an der Art und Weise liegt wie in England das Essen zubereitet und gewürzt wird. Bzw. NICHT gewürzt wird. Mit Fleisch liegt man eigentlich immer richtig, Gemüse und Saucen sind eher Geschmacksneutral. Was aber nicht am Pub liegt. Das ist meistens so in Restaurants in England :-(

Very very busy place after work but thankfully we had booked a table. If you like ciders you’ll definitely like this place as there’s at least a half a dozen on tap! They have their own Green Man Special cider which is over 8% and is really nice but definitely lethal! Decent music too without being too loud, and the food, while kind of expensive for pub fare, was really nice. The pub isn’t anywhere really near my place of work but if I’m ever in the area and in need of a drink I’ll definitely pop in here again.

Nice central London pub — and you have to love anywhere that puts cucumber in a Hendricks and tonic as standard. Good if you’re looking for a decent pub rather than a bar — has some good food and friendly bar staff. Also — worth looking out for quirky and interesting comedy in the upstairs room.

The only reason I go here is because its right next to my work. Its not the best, cheapish and can be cheerful after everyones had a few. Nothing to write home to mum about.

Decent bar, but odd mix of people. You have the old men watching Irish rugby, along with passerbys of all ages, and then the young people staying in the hostel upstairs. It’s a bit peculiar since none of the different groups interact much. There aren’t many good bars in the area, so this one gets a lot of traffic because of that. If you’re staying at the hostel, this is a great bar, but i wouldn’t go much out of my way to find it.

The 7.4% special cider is lethal. But tastes just like apple juice. I decided that sinking 3 pints of the stuff on an empty stomach before a work xmas party was wise. It was not. Popular place this. Don’t tell anymore people about it, ok?

Went here for the first time the other night during the hot spell. By comparison to another pub just a few houses down the road, the Green Man seemed not too crowded. We got there fairly early and managed to secure a lovely table in the corner. The place did fill up, though … It seemed like a crime not to try one of their ciders, but two of us are fans of rose wine when the sun comes out — I think they even had a choice. Two of the guys had a selection of ciders and were in their element. It’s nice to discover a «new» pub so close to Soho and I will definitely come again.

I love cider, it is one of my favorite alcoholic beverages thanks to the time I spent living in London. So when I returned on vacation and my friend mentioned that she had stumbled upon a bar dedicated to cider, I couldn’t hide my excitement. A friend and I set out one night to enjoy a few pints but being directionally challenged, we were lost for quite some time before finding the bar. I’m so glad we didn’t turn around. I walked up to the bar expecting to see the typical cider options, but was excited to note all of the brands I’d never seen before. I decided to try the Green Man’s personal brew which was a 7.5% selection. My friend and I ventured to the second floor which we had to ourselves. I have to say, although a completely random gathering of couches and tables, it was quaint. For some reason I didn’t realize that 7.5% meant seriously alcoholic, but that pint really put me under. Sadly I didn’t have it in me to try any of the other options, but I definitely suggest the pub for anyone who enjoys a delicious cider.

The Green Man where pressed alcoholic apples are king. Having made this the venue for the Sexy Media Christmas party 2009/2010, this is a sweet place to both eat and drink. There is a plethora of ciders on the menu including the dangerous Old Rosie which will lure you in like a pirate hooker and then violate you when you have more than a coupple of pints. At 8.5% please drink responsibly. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy there are another 15+ ciders available including the more mainstream ones such as Kopperberg and Bulmers for the less adventurous. They also inform me that they do have a beer on tap… I didn’t listen to what it was. At Christmas make this a priority because thier mulled/spiced cider is UN-REAL. At 4 nuggets for a half pint it’s a little spenny, but totally worth it. The pub itself is awesome with great artwork and posters throughout. There’s also a solid food menu. The fish finger sandwich could rival that of the Sluaghtered Lamb in Clerkenwell. That will set you back about 6 nuggets. One of my favouritest pubs in London town. It should be yours too. Sexy Rob

I’ve always loved a cider, so finding a pub dedicated to it excited me no end! There are sooo many ciders on offer you may have to make a day of it to try and get through them all. The even have their own house cider — at 7.3% you may need to pace yourself! The décor in this place is random and quirky, expect to see lego men and apples and teddy bears hanging from the place — really anything goes! Worth a visit for all cider fans

This pub styles itself as a cider pub. certainly the only one I have come across in London. They also serve real ale, so anyone will be able to find something to drink here. I did find some negatives though. There were 12 ciders advertised but only actually 3 on offer during my visit, so even though the cider quality and choice is better than almost anywhere else, you may be slightly disappointed when they don’t have your selection. The throughfare to the side of the bar leading to the back, upstairs and the toilets is liable to get blocked if a group takes the tables therewhich can be a pain. The upstairs room is good though, very dark and atmospheric. You can book it for a small function/meeting.
