Imposing backstreet local built in 1879 as the Admiral Palliser and renamed the Barons Court Hotel the following year. It later became Barons Ale House, changing to its present name when it was refurbished with a theatrical theme in the 1990s.

Inside, three distinct drinking areas are served by a square island counter. Clientele is mainly a combination of locals and students from the nearby drama and ballet schools. Food offerings includes weekday brunches and Sunday roasts.

The small 60-seat Barons Court Theatre in the basement features short-run plays and changing afternoon magic shows.
