The Grecian Coffee House first opened its doors on this site in 1677. In the early days it was the favourite meeting place of the Whig party but it quickly became popular with the great thinkers of the day, particularly with the members of the Royal Society.

Sir Isaac Newton, Edmund Halley and founder of the British Museum Sir all came here to enjoy a beverage and engage in lively debate. One such debate occurred on the evening of the 8th of July 1721 when two young Irishmen argued over where to place the diacritic mark on a Greek word. Swords were drawn and Richard Grantham killed his good friend Norton Fitzgerald in the ensuing duel in Devereux Court.

By the start of the 19th century, the philosophers and scientists in the area had been replaced by solicitors and in 1843 the Grecian Coffee House became the Devereux Public House. We still like to cater for the odd radical and free-thinker and plenty of debates still rally back and forth across the bar. Duels are less frequent now but that’s probably thanks to Google.

Tony and our small (but perfectly formed!) team would like to welcome you to the Devereux. We hope you have a great time here and please just let us know if we can make it better in any way.

Cheers.
