It started raining, so we hopped into the closest bar around hoping to wait the rain out (except it only got worse instead). The pub was chill as I had a shot of Jameson and a bottle of Ginger Beer. I have to admit that the Ginger Beer they offered was pretty darn delicious. The bartender was pretty friendly with us as well. Not too shabby of a spot to pass by.

Immediately after arriving in London and settling into our accommodation, we wanted to novelty experience of eating at a pub that serves thai food. We tried to go to another pub close by, but their kitchen was closed due to trivia night, so we were directed to Windmill. I got the spicy noodles and they don't joke when the menu says "spicy". I really like spicy food, but this noodle dish was burning-and-tingling-lips kind of spicy. As for the second dish we got, we got the sweet and sour tofu with rice, which provided a good offset to the spice of the first dish.

I think I preferred the Windmill before its renovation - it used to be a non-assuming old-school pub attracting a mixed crowd of theatre goers waiting for their plays to start (it is right next door to the Young Vic) and guys enjoying a quick pint after work and/or while following the football which is screend on several screens dotted around the bar.
It has had a makeover but really nothing has changed. But forget the idea of a quiet Sunday afternoon ... we actually came especially for a Thai lunch as our first choice the King's Arms down the road (the Windmill's brother) reverts

I feel awkward saying this but I really did not like this place. I wanted to. In fact, I'd been here about 18 months ago and remembered it as being far better.
Firstly my drink tasted sketchy as hell. A diet coke apparently... but if you gave me the glass and asked me to ideitify it by taste I wouldn't have guessed. It tasted really carbon-y like sparkling water. It overwhelmed any other flavour in there.
My boyfriend's glass had lipstick on it... not a great start.
We were there to eat because we were in the area... we had wanted to get food at the Young Vic but it was closed

This is the same chain as Jack's down the road, so pricing is very similar but as this is a pub and Jack's is more of a bar, some have reviewed that this is at the pricey end. The great thing about this place is that it's not rammed and it doesn't take 20 minutes to get a drink. Add to this a chilled atmosphere, quirky decor and perfectly good thai food and I'd say it's definitely worth a look.

Popped in after a fab evening at the Young Vic Theatre. Just fancied a quick drink before heading home and didn't really want to venture far and risk hitting the Friday night mayhem in other bars.
Was busy but not packed and after about 10 minutes we managed to bag a table for the four of us.
London prices - as expected - has a nice, cosy interior with posters covering the ceiling and old-fashioned lampshades, also has some outside seating and TVs showing sport.
That's all I have to say really - it did what it said on the tin, i.e. served alcohol, and that's all we really wanted

In a kind of not quite hungry enough for lunch limbo, a quick drink was had at The Windmill. My friend has had some pretty shocking experiences of the pub, but it was either this or The Ring down the road and I really don't like The Ring so I won.
It was fairly quiet with most people sitting outside in the sun (usually lovely, I'd imagine) but a mild hangover kept us inside. They've got a pretty good selection of drinks (Crabbie's, yay). Barmaid was friendly too. I'd come back. It wouldn't be my first choice (and perhaps not even my second or third), but I think it

It's a sunny day in Waterloo, i wanna go to lunch with my co-worker but I don't wanna spend a lot and he wants to sit outside and drink a beer. Where to go where to go.. the Windmill of course.
Everytime I had walked the windmill on a lunch break I had always seen the older drunk at lunch crowd, so I thought that it might be a bit of a grimey pub, but i was pleasantly surprised! do NOT judge a pub by it's outside patrons....
The inside was surprisingly nice but the highlight HAD to be the thai lunch!!! It was alarmingly good. Every bite we took we kept saying "wow! this is great

Nice venue just down from Waterloo Station for my hockey team to grab a drink before our end of season curry. On this balmy spring evening, the bar was filled mainly with suited after-hours workers. Prices were reasonable for this part of London.
Enough indoor seating for our group of 14 to grab a large corner for ourselves. The big TV screens enabled the Liverpool and Chelsea fans to keep abreast of the Champion League's action. Little noisy to chat but we managed.
Pleasant place to spend a couple of hours, especially if you like footy.

My memories of windmills involve elaborate mini golf courses, the Dutch countryside, taking my pet ostrich for walks, giving a concert with Edith Piaf in front of a crowd of 100,975,465.5 people and this pub.
Twas a Sunday night when I went to the Windmill Tavern, and all was well. The wind was not blowing and the mills were not grinding their daily bushel of corn, but I was meeting up with a friend for drinks.
We walked into the Windmill. Fortunately, the blades froze in time, and we did not get sliced into more pieces than an apple pie being shared among a family with 20 kids. Inside
