First licensed in 1857 as the Swiss Stores and then renamed Scotch Stores, and rebuilt as part of Leicester Square Underground station in the 1930s, the architect of the new ticket hall and entrances being Charles Holden. The pub was substantially renovated in 2015 and a completely different environment was created. The main bar was moved, and the first floor is now more of a restaurant, and some casual bar seating, with brewing as a bit of a theme. That is included in the more crush bar high tables and seating in the main bar. There's a coppery look and feel, and the pub now offers craft beers and a guest or seasonal ale, as well as three Greene King own beers. There remains the entrance into St Martins Court - the backdoor? - and to tables and chairs. Children are welcome in the dining area and first floor family area. Disabled access is reasonable and to a toilet on the ground floor.
