“ Maida Vale 5.90 Elgin Lager A superb local hangout. The Elgin is located at the end of a tall Victorian terrace in the heart of Maida Vale. Getting here is easy, Maida Vale Tube Station is located diagonally across the road. The Lord Elgin as it was once known was built in 1869. In 2013 the pub looking tired and forlorn was given a new lease of life by Urban Leisure Group. The metro tiled servery dominates the bar and runs down the left hand side. Opposite the servery are several poser tables and stools. At the far end of the bar is some comfy low level seating, a projector screen and a random elephant adorning the wall. By the entrance are some beautiful Victorian glazed tiles which sit above Georgian panels and a nice big cosy sofa. Upstairs is a dining/function room which is available for hire. The beer line up was impressive, there are ten London based draught craft beers and ciders to choose from, plus plenty of bottles in the fridge. I decided on a pint of the house lager, my pint was excellent and price point average. There is a seasonal food menu available consisting of elevated gastropub style dishes. The roasts on a Sunday are well celebrated, a Chicken Roast costs 19.50. We arrived just after 6pm on a Saturday evening, on arrival the place was fairly busy with a local crowd in attendance. Not long after we settled in, things got very busy. There was a lively upbeat buzzy atmosphere emanating from the early evening punters. The service was excellent, the staff here were super friendly and clearly enjoyed what they do. Throughout the month there are Live Music and Comedy Nights, if fancy testing your general knowledge there is a Pub Quiz on Tuesdays. We really enjoyed our time here, @the_elgin_maidavale was a pleasant surprise. This is a fantastic hybrid establishment that has a bit of something for everyone. The beer was great and reasonably priced, the food looked amazing and is popular with the punters plus there is plenty to keep you entertained. Pub traditionalist will probably give this one a swerve, but I would definitely recommend a visit here. i Info correct on visiting 16.09.23 ”
“ A beautiful rustic industrial pub, the food quality is superb, the staff are excellent and so friendly, the cocktails are awesome. Always have a great time here. ”
“ I hosted my 30th birthday party at the Elgin and couldn’t recommend it enough. We had a truly brilliant evening. The food and drinks were seriously delicious and the staff could not have been more accommodating for us. The upstairs space where we had the party is really beautiful and I can see how perfectly it would work for wedding receptions too. Communication with the venue about various requests ahead of the evening was also answered promptly and helpfully. We received brilliant feedback from all our guests and would definitely come back for another event here, or just to enjoy the pub on a normal day! ”
