Punch Tavern is a historic pub and dining venue at 99 Fleet Street in London. Named in the 1840s for the nearby Punch magazine, it retains the decorative character of a traditional gin palace while serving the modern City neighbourhood throughout the week.
The kitchen concentrates on British pub classics. Homemade pies, fish and chips and Scotch eggs sit at the heart of the selection, supported by changing dishes and quicker lunch options. The format works for anything from a bar snack to a complete sit-down meal.
Gin is the defining feature of the bar, with more than 90 varieties available, but the drinks list also includes rotating London cask ales, British beer and continental draught choices. Staff can help guests compare different gin styles or choose a drink that complements the food.
A separate dining area and private event space allow the pub to accommodate meals, celebrations and work gatherings away from the main bar. Its central location also makes it useful before an evening performance or after work. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients and preparation with the team.
