Drinks

Pros:

  • "Prices were ridiculous. We had 2 Diet Cokes that were £4.50 each."
  • "The lack of food/snack options is disappointing."
  • "Drinks also disappointing… didn’t taste great at all."
  • "It was disappointing to find ordinary recipes that can be found at any other cocktail bar."
  • "The drinks were ok but overly sweet with sugar at the bottom and not very authentic given the cost."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "I really had fun in this place. The environment was amazing and fun."
  • "Really enjoyed the ambience."
  • "The staff were amazing, and the atmosphere is busy but not too loud."
  • "The bar looks great and has a nice atmosphere."
  • "Such an iconic venue - wonderful setting, and excellent service."
  • "Really groovy bar located in Battersea power station. Smart place that appears to cross Art Deco with a British 80's power station, very cool."
  • "The atmosphere and ambiance of Control Room B is delightful and it’s going to be our Friday thing."

Cons:

  • "It's not enclosed or intimate so that ruins the vibe completely."
  • "However, when we were there, the staff did not allow us to go into the control room area."
  • "Most tables are quite far from controls and you still feel like you’re in a shopping centre like Westfield."
  • "The bar lacks a bar vibe, feels like you're drinking in a shopping centre."
  • "The virtually empty mall it overlooks subdued the overall atmosphere."
  • "Also, stairs on both entrance sides so accessibility might be an issue."
  • "The Christmas decorations were really cheap and compared to the rest of how the Station was decorated, felt a bit like a last-moment Poundland shop."
