"Sure, the pub is a go-to first date spot. But it can’t just be any pub. Especially not the one where that local roller-skates to the urinal. No, you need to go to a pub like The Blue Posts. It’s a cosy and classy restaurant-y type pub in Soho, where you can get anything from classic lean-and-flirt craft beers downstairs, to biodynamic wines at the upstairs cocktail bar. If all goes well, invest in some high-end charcuterie from the bar." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"You had dinner plans for after the movie, but that extra-large popcorn was never going to eat itself. Now the thought of anything too solid and substantial is bringing you out in a cold sweat. Before you cancel those plans altogether, consider switching the destination to The Blue Posts in Soho. It’s a small, smart pub, and while your dinner companion delves into a spread of properly good bar snacks and small plates, you can have a beer, and graze on a plate of padron peppers." - sam collins, jake missing
"There are lots of pubs with the same name around the West End and The Blue Posts is one of them. Although there’s the cleaner cut one on the edge of Chinatown, it’s The Blue Posts on Berwick Street that’s the one to go to. In recent years this red-carpeted boozer has become something of a home to hypebeasts given its vicinity to Palace and Supreme stores (the former launched their collaboration with Stella Artois here). But it’s still one of the OG Soho pubs of character that also draws in some of the area’s most long-standing characters. Expect geezers, three-piece suits, and pints of lager all round." - jake missing

"A 275-year-old Chinatown public house recently restored by restaurateur siblings Zoë and Layo Paskin, the venue retains its 18th-century character while adding new small-scale hospitality spaces. The team excavated into the original beer cellar to create an intimate subterranean kitchen bar and added seating adjacent to the open kitchen; the ground floor continues to offer pub snacks and drinks, while a first-floor Mulwray bar serves cocktails. The refurbishment is presented as a carefully considered restoration intended to create welcoming spaces the operators themselves would enjoy visiting." - Adam Coghlan
