FancyaPint?'s review...

The Fitzroy is a big old pub with literary pretensions. Dylan Thomas used to drink (heavily) here and there are photos dotted about alluding to him and his bohemian friends' patronage here. The interior, however, is rather more gloomy than other nearby Sam Smith's pubs - especially at the back - and its not one we hanker after visiting very often. Thomas may approve, but, truth be told, we find it rather depressing. The usual Sam Smith's portfolio of ales are on offer (the Marmite of the brewing world - you love it or loathe it) at their usual, very competitive prices and there's also food served at the expected times - for the lunchtime office crowds. Suffice it to say, that The Fitzroy's location means it's almost always busy - annoyingly so after work and especially on Friday nights. Often the best and most atmospheric spot is to be found outside on the pavement, which frankly doesn't say a lot for the inside.
