Italia Uno is an excellent hidden gem in Fitzrovia. A fantastic, family-run restaurant offering tasty food at affordable prices. The staff are friendly and welcoming. From the outside the café may not look like much, but don't let that put off. There may be more eye-catching, 'trendy' cafes around, but Italia Uno is definitely makes up through offering delicious food, Definitely recommend this wonderful café. (You can also test out your Italian with the staff, if you want).

The Blue Posts (Just like the Bricklayers) is another decent traditional pub. The Blue Posts is not hard to find, just off Oxford Street with a letter box outside.
It's another Sam Smiths, so it's cheap, own drinks (no Brands), great crowd and staff. Again, this place gets packed on a Friday (Friday nights are great). They serve food, have bars on two floors and a dartboard.
Cards accepted.

The Bricklayers Arms is sat-off from the main road, so do remember to look out for it. This is a great little pub serving across two floors.
This is a Sam Smiths pub, which means the prices are very affordable but they do not stock any branded drinks - just Sam Smiths own. They serve food and also have a dartboard in the back room. The staff are pleasant, friendly and willing to help with queries you have e.g. directions.
Definitely worth a try. Friday nights get quite busy but if you are after a tradition, old-fashioned British pub look no further than Sam Smiths pubs - in particular The Bricklayers, Blue Posts and the Fitzroy.
Cards accepted.

If you're into rock/heavy metal then The Crobar SHOULD be your destination on a Friday night - Just a 5 minute walk from Oxford Street/Tottenham Court Road tube! This bar gets packed and has a great jukebox selection (Could do with some more songs). It's narrow at the bar but once you get into the back room, you've get some breathing space.
The have some live music on occasionally, which is not a bad thing!
Downside is that the bar only opens from 4pm but stays open until 3am. There is no draught beers (Except soft drinks) and you have to pay £10 or more to use your card. Great bar and one for any metal fan! This is a proper rock bar!

The Fitzroy is in the heart of Fitzrovia and has recently had refurb (2017). This unique pub is another great Sam Smiths pub - split into four ground floor rooms as well as an upstairs - with the toilets in the cellar.
Just like the Bricklayers and Blue Posts, the Fitzroy serves food and only stocks Sam Smiths drinks - keeping the prices low. There is no dartboard but thee staff are friendly and pleasant - a great pub to start the night off with!
Cards accepted.
