The Guinea Grill holds twenty-four hundred and forty-seven reviews and an excellent 4.6 – a genuinely superb score on an enormous sample – and it is a genuine Mayfair institution: an ancient, historic mews pub on Bruton Place, with an inn on the site since 1423, run by Young’s since 1888, home to a celebrated 1952 steakhouse and arguably London’s best Guinness.
An inn since 1423
The Guinea is a genuinely ancient, historic, one-of-a-kind pub – a proper old bastion of booze, steeped in history, tucked down a Mayfair mews on Bruton Place. There is real history here – the ancient inn, the 1423 origins, the deep history. There has been an inn on this site since 1423 – over six hundred years – making the Guinea older than most of Mayfair itself, and quite possibly one of the oldest pubs in all of London. There is genuine history and character to it – the 1423 inn, the six centuries of history, the ancient bastion. Its current landlords, the Young’s brewery, have been at the helm since 1888 – and it retains a genuine, rare, historic character (a rare Victorian low screen, an original bar, ageing paneling, a welcoming vintage feel). There is real history and character to it – the ancient inn, Young’s since 1888, the rare Victorian interior. The Prat’s history desk salutes it – the ancient Mayfair pub, an inn since 1423.
The 1952 steakhouse
Behind one of London’s oldest pubs is one of London’s oldest steakhouses – the celebrated Guinea Grill. There is real character to this – the celebrated steakhouse, the 1952 grill, the dry-aged beef. The Guinea Grill restaurant opened in 1952, and since then has specialised in serving dry-aged, grass-fed British beef from an open grill – a genuine, treasured, old-school steakhouse (with a meat counter from which diners select their own cuts as they enter, and a doorman in top hat and green topcoat to greet them). There is genuine character and quality to it – the celebrated steakhouse, the dry-aged beef, the meat counter. It is a genuine pause in time – a heart-warmingly old-school approach to food and service, a founding member of the Scotch Beef Club, serving award-winning pies too. There is real character and quality to it – the old-school steakhouse, the dry-aged beef, the award-winning pies. The Prat’s desk salutes it – the ancient pub with its celebrated 1952 steakhouse.
The beer and welcome
The Guinea backs its history with genuinely excellent beer – Young’s ales, and arguably the best Guinness in London. There is real quality to this – the Young’s ales, the best Guinness in London, the well-kept beer. It pours a selection of Young’s ales (with the odd guest ale), a cellar of wines from across the world, and – as the pub itself justly claims – arguably the best pint of Guinness in London. There is genuine quality to it – the Young’s ales, the best Guinness in London, the good wine cellar. Combined with its ancient history and its celebrated steakhouse, it makes the Guinea a genuine Mayfair institution – the ancient inn, Young’s since 1888, the 1952 steakhouse, the best Guinness. Its excellent 4.6 across an enormous sample confirms it – a genuinely superb, treasured institution. There is real history, character and quality in the whole thing – the ancient 1423 inn, Young’s since 1888, the celebrated 1952 steakhouse, the dry-aged beef, the best Guinness. It is a genuine institution – ancient, historic, characterful, and superbly done, a real Bruton Place treasure and one of the oldest and best pubs in London.
