The Lyric Theater initially staged mostly light operettas when it first opened before subsequently staging light comedies and straight drama.

food
Why is it that, when you’re going to the theatre, the food is so often demoted to second fiddle?
Why, when London’s culinary scene has never been better, do we not choose our meals with as much thought as we choose our musical or play?
If you’re a food-loving theatregoer who often finds themselves eating a Pret sandwich in the interval, or a meal deal in some ubiquitous Italian chain on the way to the show - stop.
This spot is ideal for early diners, and even better for late ones, taking orders until 11.30pm and providing, in the form of the low-lit, sultry Bar American, a digestif spot a mere stumble away from the dinner table.
Post-theatre, order a bottle of house red and go for broke*

The Lyric review: A much-loved Victorian pub in Soho | London ...
location
Many Soho residents hold a soft spot for the Lyric, and it’s not hard to see why.
It’s a cosy Victorian setting tucked away right next to Leicester Square and Piccadilly, making it one of the most favoured stopping off points in the area.
This little old pub can get pretty rammed, although the upstairs room is a nice area to retreat to for a spot of lunch if the crowds get a bit much.

Jubilee at the Lyric Hammersmith | Theatre review – The Upcoming
food
Chris Goode’s stage adaptation of Derek Jarman and James Whaley’s cult classic punk film, Jubilee (1978), can only be described as a wild ride.
Semi-plotless, kinky and violent, Jubilee the play is a vintage punk romp amended to include a far more diverse cast, and to rail against today’s troubling political climate, both at home and abroad.
On some occasions, however, the dialogue slows down enough for viewers to relish it, and the havoc gives way to tenderness, poignancy and exceptional subtlety.
Meanwhile, Sophie Stone is highly convincing as the intimidating ringleader, Bod, and Toyah Willcox – a cast member in the original film – delivers her Elizabethan dialogue with wonderful gravitas.
Half the audience sit on the stage itself, which, on the one hand, allows the cast to make full use of the space at all times.
Lyric Hammersmith | Theatre in Hammersmith, London
Leftfield theatre remains at the heart of this sprawling building Emerging in 2015 from a multimillion pound makeover, the Lyric Hammersmith is less a simple theatre, more a multipurpose community hub that includes everything from recording studios to digital development rooms.
But plays remain at the heart of it all, thanks to both the retention of the original Victorian theatre – improbably preserved in the heart of the modern building – and the singular artistic directorship of Sean Holmes, who has turned the Lyric Hammersmith into a venue both avant-garde and accessible, marking it with his own, very European directorial style.
It's probably also arguably the best spot in Hammersmith to grab a pint and a bite to east, not least on its first floor roof terrace, a green and pleasant oasis in the middle of gritty W6.
