Absolutely wonderful establishment! My experience was on a Saturday night and I had excellent service and met a lot of nice people while I was there (about 4 hrs). Played some games in the back as well! Would recommend if you're looking for a dive with friendly staff, dim lighting, wood tables, great whiskey selections and a talkative atmosphere. Great spot on Main Street to check out!

Your friendly, inclusive, neighborhood S.A.F.E. pub. Creative original cocktails, including non- and low-alcohol drinks. Beverage menu changes seasonally. Both local, regional, and international beverages in bottles/cans and on tap. Popcorn machine- free popcorn until a certain time, ask the bartender. Hosts local music. Bartop Burlesque on last Mondays of the month. For some-out-of-towners, home away from home. My favorite bar (near street parking)- Alluvial is the only other bar I want to go to. I love London Underground. I recommend the Necromancer (absinthe based cocktail, some non-licorice people love this, me included), the local beer on tap, and a hot toddy.

I had two double gin and tonics and two shots of gin basically in my third, along with goth girl spit. 10/10 would recommend, family friendly experience

Welcoming knowledgeable staff. I’ve only gone a few times but they make you feel like a regular. The knowledge of scotch and whisky is amazing. So fun to try their finds. And free popcorn! How can you go wrong.

Step into the London Underground and get ready for a vibe that's classic London pub with a twist. This spot is all about the whiskey and handmade drinks, catering to those who appreciate a quality pour. Now, here's the deal – they've got $1 Gin and Tonics. Yep, you heard that right. It's no wonder the place is buzzing with college crowds and locals looking for a good time without breaking the bank. We swung by on a Thursday night, around 9 pm, and surprisingly scored a table for six without any hassle. Despite the crowd, it had that laid-back atmosphere we all dig. And let me tell you about the drinks. We kicked back with some seriously good Old Fashioneds with the family, soaking in that authentic London pub feel. We were hyped for the Absinthe night coming up, especially since it coincided with my wife's birthday bash. But, unfortunately, plans fell through. That's life, I guess. Overall, if you're after that classic London pub experience with a modern twist, the London Underground is the spot to hit up.
