Being across the road from the Drury Lane Theatre Royal you'd expect this pub to be a bit theatrical.
Photos of stars and posters cover the walls. Decorations are rich and dark. Don't expect to relax in a comfy chair, this pub is geared for fast and furious turnover, perch on a stool if you're lucky.

Built in 1879, it was designed by the then well-known pub architect George Treacher and was his most elaborate effort. OPERA TAVERN London WC2
