The Lyric Soho is an independent pub at 37 Great Windmill Street, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus. Known as a longstanding local in the heart of the West End, it offers a cosy place for a meal, a pint or a relaxed gathering away from the busiest nearby streets.
Food is deliberately unfussy and rooted in seasonal British pub cooking. Homemade classics, substantial burgers and familiar bar snacks provide straightforward choices through the week, with good ingredients and careful preparation taking priority over elaborate presentation.
Sunday roasts are a particular focus and give the kitchen a traditional weekend rhythm. The changing menu also makes room for lighter dishes, sharing snacks and family friendly options, allowing visitors to stop for anything from a quick plate to a complete lunch or dinner.
A broad drinks selection includes 33 taps pouring cask and keg beer from London and independent breweries further afield. Cider, wine, spirits and alcohol free choices round out the bar, while live sport and a welcoming neighbourhood atmosphere keep The Lyric connected to the everyday life of Soho.
Address: 37 Great Windmill Street, Soho, London W1D 7LT, United Kingdom
