The Little Scarlet Door Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Design

Pros:

• "The venue is really nicely laid out and decorated; it does actually feel like you're chilling with your friends at a houseparty over a drink."
• "It’s a bar inside a flat over two floors tastefully designed and every little detail was well thought."
• "The decor is really well thought out, down to the closet and bathroom cabinet type details on the stairs and in the toilet."
• "Inside is this very eclectic place, looking almost like you stepped inside someone's flat."
• "The interior design is like being in someone’s house with great books, textiles and sculptures."
• "The atmosphere is very cool, upscale and artistically inspired."
• "It’s all in the details: from the brass animal door handles to the way certain drinks are served, this bar is a lot of fun."

Cons:

• "It’s just a slight turn down as I was excited about the place as it seems cool but despite the quirky design you have to wear a blazer on some days, and on some days you don’t ;)"
• "One negative is the lack of sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning especially in the lower floor."
• "Just so weird and cramped, also my drink took a while to come."
• "The dancefloor is nice, but too packed to be able to dance properly (or even move at all)."

Staff & Service

Pros:

• "Big thank you to the staff for being super helpful and having such positive energy, especially Rouge!"
• "Always have an incredible night at Little Scarlet Door, good music, quick drinks, friendly staff."
• "Staff were friendly, nice energy and great service."
• "Not only was the food and atmosphere incredible, but the service was outstanding - Giulia and Nell in particular really made our night."
• "Absolutely amazing staff! The lady on the door took us in, it was busy bust she found us a place to drink!"
• "The staff really looked after us!"
• "The staff here is both friendly and welcoming and the food appetizers served were both unique and tasty."

Cons:

• "The bouncer lady wouldn't let any of us in because she had seen the two guys before."
• "The moment we arrived, the bouncer was exceptionally rude to us."
• "On the phone Paolo was completely unsympathetic and didn't really seem to care or give me any alternative options."
• "Terrible service. Unexpectedly the manager was the WORST!"
• "Their customer service has been really poor, they have been rude and completely unreasonable."
• "Slow and absent waiters. The waitress didn't even know that tonic is used with gin, what an embarrassment."

Food & Drinks

Pros:

• "The cocktails were incredible and the service was delightful!"
• "The drinks were fantastic especially the picantes."

• "The cocktails are some of the best we've ever had."
• "The karaoke was a blast, and the vegan food options, like sausage rolls and brownies, were delicious."
• "Cocktails were amazing!"

Cons:

• "They had run out of burrata so that meant there was only one veggie option left (cheese toastie), and it didn't say on the menu there'd be Stilton in it which I absolutely can't stand."
• "Both me and my friend didn’t like our drinks."
• "Service was insanely slow though, it took an hour for our first round of drinks to arrive."
• "The food and drink was also tasty but overpriced (£9 for a toastie- although I guess it's Soho!)."
• "The drinks were overpriced. The food was also mediocre. The mezze board was bland."
• "Whiskey sour was not that good."
• "My drink class was dirty and the staff didn't seem to care too much."

Booking & Accessibility

Pros:

• "Looking forward to see what other events are held at this venue!"
