    I visited Joshua's Tavern to watch the Euros final. The ambience was great and, like every other part of the Londoner, the staff were friendly, professional and efficient.

    Quiet venue and well priced drinks in the centre of touristy Leicester Square. Didn’t think it was possible.

    The servers and host were very friendly. The cocktails were not particularly tasty and were quite expensive. The pub only sells a small selection of appetizers, so we tried the Philly cheesesteak bites. These were alright, but not worth the money they cost.
