The Seven Stars
7.1Locals Score / 10#13 of 20 Bars & Nightlife in London
Known forPalestinian chickenBruschettaGeneral's beer (house beer)Traditional pints
A historic pub dating back to 1602 in Holborn with genuine old-world charm, a resident cat named General (the pub's namesake beer), and an inventive food menu that punches above its size. Try the Palestinian chicken or the exceptional bruschetta. Note: it's very small, so expect tight quarters and potentially long waits during peak times.
