Punch Bowl

Grade II listed upmarket gastropub in an upmarket area but with a warm welcome. Dating from 1729, licensed in 1786 and rebuilt in 1792 after a fire, it served as a magistrates’ court in its early days and was later home to the last public bar in Mayfair, alas no more. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was a favourite haunt of the servants employed by the large houses in Grosvenor Square. Its wartime appearance was featured in the "Roll out the Barrel" DVD of pub shorts. Ground-floor bar, first-floor restaurant and second-floor Club private dining room. Ales include Punch Bowl house ale at 4.1%.
