We popped into The Devonshire for Guinness twice during our trip (at the beginning and the end). We didn’t have food, but we enjoyed the liveliness of the cozy bar. Amazing that the building is almost as old as the United States.

Two freshly poured pints of Guinness with thick, creamy heads sit on a small round table, the dark stout glowing slightly under warm pub lighting, with bartenders and a polished back bar of bottles softly blurred behind them. A sign reads “Soho since 1793.”A long evening queue spills down the street outside a pub, packed shoulder to shoulder with people chatting and waiting, while bright red Moulin Rouge theatre lights glow across the road and reflect off the pavement.Two pints of Guinness rest on a wooden window ledge beside a small table lamp and a handwritten menu, while the Moulin Rouge sign shines outside through the glass, mixing pub warmth with busy West End night energy.The green and gold entrance of Carroll and Rogers Freehouse stands open to the street, framed by ivy and glowing panels, as groups of people cluster nearby waiting to get inside on a busy night.
