The Salisbury Pub, London
Dating all the way back to 1899, the Salisbury has a rich history, and its charming Victorian style is a magnet for folks who can't resist snapping pictures. Inside, you'll find glass etched with Art Nouveau designs, colorful stained glass, intricately carved mahogany, and some seriously fancy upholstery that'll catch your eye.
When it comes to food, this place serves up classic English pub grub that's top-notch, like fish and chips and Yorkshire pudding, plus a different roasted meat special each day that won't break the bank. If you're in the mood for something a bit more modern, they've got you covered with snacks and pub favorites like sandwiches and nachos. Definitely give their "award-winning" steak pie a shot – it comes with charred cabbage, a red wine dipping gravy, and your choice of chips or mash; a must-try if you're craving a hearty meal.
You won't go thirsty here either, because there's a full bar stocked with beer, wine, and craft cocktails. You'll have plenty of modern ales to choose from, and they mix things up with traditional cask ales like Courage Directors and Theakston's throughout the month. Just a heads-up, though: they don't do reservations, so it's first come, first served. If it's hopping when you arrive, be ready to wait a bit. The trick is to snag a table first, and then make your way to the bar to place your order. Enjoy!
