picture of Market Tavern
It's been a couple of years since the O'Neill's branding was removed from this one, and since then it has bedded in nicely. As is usually the case with ex-O'Neill's pubs, it's updated itself by appearing more traditional and individual, as well as moving slightly upmarket compared to its predecessor. Flock wallpaper and low lighting give a subtle retro feel and the overall effect is quite appealing. An excellent choice of ales and lager give other local pubs a run for their money, but the service is little more than perfunctory. As with most places in Shepherd Market, this one is popular with the after work crowd - and not being the largest of places makes this even more apparent. But it's still worth considering if you're meeting people in the area.

By far the best place in the area, the choice of drinks is refreshing different from the norm, the food is not a restaurant but good value and quaility for a pub,but the best things are the staff who are all really friendly and efficient. Worth a look just to see the upstairs bar it definatly has the WOW factor.
