"I dropped into the Barley Mow while my wife was in a dance class at a nearby studio it had already been a long day and I was ready for a quiet pint! After walking through the surrounding area, dodging ferraris and wealthy tourists...taking selfies in front of the Connaught hotel( it was very refreshing to find a normal pub in the heart of the overpriced madness! The Barley Mow is artfully dishevelled, but boasts a good selection of beers (for a macro-brewery-owned pub) as well as a decent range of gin and whiskey. Everything is surprisingly reasonably-priced and there is a homely and welcoming feel to the place. I don’t know how they have managed to keep this oasis of normality in the middle of such an ostentatiously affluent area, but long may it continue! Definitely recommended for a quick drink and a quiet sit down while shopping/sightseeing!"
