Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Such a cool looking venue."
"What an amazing place for a fun evening! Really quirky, definitely usual!"
"Beautiful underground place with a theme of secret bar."
"A Quirky and fun venue."
"Really strange concept based on creepy old secret societies. Pretty interesting and fun experience."
"I LOVE this place! It smells good, the tables are spaced out evenly enough so you don't feel like you're intruding on your neighbour's conversation and the music is amazing!"
"This bar is a hidden gem, it’s so welcoming and super friendly."
Cons:
"The name and decor do not match the vibe/music."
"Music was extremely loud for so early in the evening. Could hardly hear ourselves think."
"The speakers are are numerous and right next to tables so talking was some what impossible to the point that we just left as no one could hear each other and it was causing ear pain."
"Weird atmosphere (1800s-esque theme, with tacky & loud 90s/noughties music playing, and flashing disco lights)."
"The whole experience was more Infernos Clapham, rather than a central London cocktail bar."
"The floor was incredibly sticky and sticky stuff stuck to my bag and shoes so I had to clean them the day after."
"Booked a table here on a Thursday night, was sat at a table that had a thick green crusty liquid stain on the seats."
Service & Staff
Pros:
"A fantastic bar, with a great atmosphere and some of the best and friendliest bartenders in London!"
"Khairya was welcoming and went out of her way to accommodate our group's particular needs without having to be asked."
"The service was amazing."
"Honestly the most beautiful venue, staff were impeccable from the moment we arrived and the drinks were utterly gorgeous :)"
"Laura and Philippe were the bartenders that night and they were amazing."
"Staff is friendly and bartenders are very talented."
"Bar staff are friendly and accommodating."
Cons:
"They seem understaffed here, we had to wait 15 mins just to find someone to take us to our booked table."
"Don't bother. Most rude and unpleasant staff we have ever experienced."
"The staff were so rude to us it was unbelievable."
"Terrible service, the front of house asked why we were here….and the bar staff were so poor."
"Bar service is so slow and none of the staff looked like they wanted to be there."
"The staff are quite rude, I get it’s a fun environment but stopping right in the middle of a customer talking to you to order to throw ice and mess about is a little rude."
"Sadly didn't have a great experience here, booked a table beforehand and when at the entrance we were faced by a bodyguard who didn't say anything."
Food & Drinks
Pros:
"Booked a Ladies Abba Drag Brunch & all of us had an amazing time."
"Came for the Mamma Mia brunch - was a fun vibe."
"The cocktails are well made and delicious."
"Cocktails we did have were really yummy."
"The cocktails are some of the best I've had."
"The interaction between the Entertainers and public was fun."
"Cocktail are very good, far better than you would expect from an obvious party place with loud music."
Cons:
"Mamma Mia bottomless Brunch. Appalling. Oversold. Dreadful. Dull. No purpose."
"The cocktails were very weak."
"The venue was clearly understaffed, the quality of food was extremely poor, drinks were few and far between, and the staff were rude."
"Awful cocktails - Had to ask for a different one to be made and the replacement was just as bad."
"The cocktails the negroni that wasn’t a negroni and the old fashioned were up with some of the worst I’ve ever had."
"The drink was overpriced and bitter, it was around £12 for about 100ml of cocktail which tasted nasty."
"The food was quite bad."
Value & Offers
Pros:
"The queue for the bar was neglible considering."
"We even got free drinks for my birthday and the staff took good care of us."
"Very good happy hour offer - it included all the cocktails and not a limited menu of basic cocktails."
"Also, we happened to visit during the length happy hour which is basically 241 cocktails all evening. Amazing value."
"Can’t beat the 2for1 cocktail deal, no brainer here as they actually make them spot on."
"The happy hour deal of 2 cocktails for £12 was a gem!"
"Drinks are tasty and work out really good value during happy hour, the long island iced tea is probably the best I've ever had."
Cons:
"They also advertised 2 for £12 but failed to honour this since it was ’the Christmas period’."
"On the website, google updates & social media it says happy hour is until 7pm on Monday but we were told it was until 6pm in December only after our drinks were made so very disappointed with that."
"Rather disappointed about being told on the phone that a happy hour offer would be available just for the barman to refuse honouring the offer when we asked about it in person."
"Sign outside states 2 for 1 cocktails all day Sunday... Bartender charged for 2, saying the offer isn’t valid because the following day is a bank holiday!"
"Spend your money in nicer bars."
"Wouldn’t return or recommend. Spend your money elsewhere, with someone who actually cares about their customers."
