Drinks and Menu

Pros:

• "The signature cocktails are all a bit fruity for my tastes, but they are happy enough to go off menu."
• "Really unique cocktails here."
• "Pro tip: come for drinks on Sunday evening and take in live music from time to time. Great guitarist and singer playing covers recently makes for a great atmosphere to relax before the week ahead. Great drinks selection and terrific hand crafted cocktails. Friendly staff."
• "Nice bar in Marylebone with outdoor seating. Good selection of drinks and a Happy Hour."
• "Really good cocktails and in really fair prices though."
• "Cocktails were good."
• "Great drinks selection and terrific hand crafted cocktails."

Cons:

• "Very poor choice of draught beers which all ran out by 6:30pm, then only warm bottled beers that had only just been put in the fridge."
• "beer of choice was flat and very unplesent."
• "Tonic from a hose pipe rather than bottle of fevertree for our g&t and that was not reflected in the pricing."
• "Don’t bother. Rude, self-important staff serving overpriced drinks (£6.50 a pint? Really?)."
• "They advertise happy hour on the cocktail menu, but when you order at the bar they say no happy hour for December. Don't advertise it then."
• "I asked for two Margharitas, which the very uninterested bartender mistook for Toms Margharitas."
• "Went there yesterday night with a party of 6 for a birthday. ALL COCKTAILS AND DRINKS WATERED DOWN."

Ambiance and Venue

Pros:

• "The venue itself was very cosy and nice."
• "The music was pleasant."
• "Nice atmosphere and the inclusion of a live music option on Sundays... This can be good or bad depending on your tastes! But in general this is a food smart pub to stop in when shopping the elite of Marylebone High Street..."
• "A very pleasant place to stop for a drink."
• "Great atmosphere, we ended up here to start the interactive Hidden City game (Moriarty) and everything was really fun."
• "One of my favorite pubs in London. It's always vibrant, the staff are extremely friendly and they have a fantastic rum selection."
• "Vintage and with good music pub where you can find reasonable prices and a good variety of beers, cocktails all with a very cool atmosphere."

Cons:

• "It's an atmosphere I can do with out."
• "He seemed to have quite a rude manner towards me."
• "Walked in and was taken by the decor of the place, then breathed in and it smelt like a toilet."
• "It felt a bit sneaky that [the service charge] was added without my knowledge."
• "One thing that the place seemed to lack was character."
• "My ears hurt. Way too loud."
• "The Marylebone used to be a very nice bar but had an awful experience here last night. We were the only people trying to order and the staff looked like neither one of them wanted to be there or serve anyone."
