WELCOME TO THE KEY & CROWN —
( main floor )
FIGHT NIGHT is every SECOND SATURDAY, but you can find small matchups each week throughout the month – check the calendar pinned to the notice board for scheduling. it’s posted beside the door to the men’s room. there’s a floor-level ring set up downstairs. bring your own gloves. wrap is available upon request.
CARD NIGHT is every TUESDAY. the front of the pub is roped off for a game of HIGH STAKES POKER and impromptu games of blackjack are run by our manager, Peg O’Conner, around the bar.
BY POPULAR DEMAND there is now a KARAOKE / OPEN MIC NIGHT scheduled for the LAST SATURDAY of the month. patrons can also enjoy LIVE ENTERTAINMENT on THURSDAYS and FRIDAYS courtesy of Elsie Brightmore, our resident bard-tender.
the large bay window in the front of the establishment overlooks Northumberland Street and outdoor seating is available during the late spring and summer months.
the pub itself is just a short three-minute walk to the centre of Trafalgar Square! conveniently located for ease of access to the underground and easy enough for both locals and tourists to find.
the owner, Sebastian “Basher” Moran, can usually be found at the corner of the bar readying his books for the upcoming fight night, behind the bar serving his regular patrons, at the bar, enjoying a few too many with friends and family, or downstairs in the centre of the ring which always proves a fight worth watching.
the kitchen manager, Eliot Spencer, has really brought what could only have been considered “usual” pub food up to a five-star level. never let it be said that food at a pub, of all places, couldn’t entice you alone!
if you need to step out for some air or a smoke, don’t forget to chat with the bouncer, Bill O’Conner, husband to manager Peg. don’t let his imposing figure deter you, he is as quick with a joke as he is to break up a fight. you’ll definitely want him on your side!
