Bourne & Hollingsworth

Buzzy, relaxed and original - one of my favourite bars in London, with its great atmosphere, very lovely decor and delicious and interesting cocktails. The mixture of vintage decor/teacups and cool, trendy music makes it a great place for an evening with a few friends; if you find space (only downside: it gets very busy) you can sit but it is also definitely lively enough to dance. The crowd was nice too each time I went. Perfect!

stumbled over this last night and had such a fun night. delicious drinks and staff, fun atmosphere. really fun music. people leaving bad reviews, get over yourselves and find somewhere else to drink?

Erm, some bizarre negative reviews. I can understand being upset at bookings not being respected, but the comments about sultry bar staff are rather confusing. We went last night - after a friend recommended - and had a really good time. Great music, great drinks, great crowd, great decor and great staff. Five stars.

I rarely write reviews, but was driven to do so after visiting Bourne & Hollingsworth's sister bar, The Fourth Wall. I was so disappointed by this place, and dismayed that I had chosen it for a friend's party. Weird, rude bouncer on the door who told us that someone had taken our table (which turned out to be untrue when we got in). Rude bar staff who denied all knowledge of my booking when I'd paid a £50 deposit. Obnoxious drunk girls dancing on tables and pushing in front of us to try to get free drinks. Terrible music. One of the most overrated and up-its-own-a*se places I have been to.

fun place for a private party, fun drinks although glasses very small but DJ totally missed group and slow love songs on a Sat pm party ended up with people leaving looking for a party!

please..gimmicky drinks in jam jars..sultry staff..get over yourselves and start serving decent drinks in PROPER GLASSES.. gimmicks = product isn't good enough on its own. Weird cold atmosphere and zero service..average at very best..there are plenty of better deserving bars of your pound than this lot..

I have been to this bar some many times and had too many good nights to remember :). Keep up the good work fellas. Only 4 stars because sometimes it's hard to get in and it takes a while to get served.

My friends and I had a great Friday night at this bar, fantastic drinks whilst dancing away to the Djs tunes.

One of my favourite bars in London. Great atmosphere on busy nights, excellent cocktails, the 'quirky' receptacles are not a way if glossing over substandard drinks and bar staff are good enough mixologists to go off menu without batting an eyelid. It does get very busy. If you want a seat get there early.

NOT IMPRESSED - booking not respected My friends booked a table here for last night, booked several weeks ago, for early evening drinks for the start of my hen party. The table was booked for 7.30pm.... at 7.25 as we are in the cab 5 minutes away we receive a voicemail saying our table was being given away as we "had not arrived for the booking". We called back immediately by which time we had arrived, to see people standing on the street outside queueing to get in... and it emerged that, actually, a wine tasting had overrun and our table was not free to give away to anyone, let alone to us. We were understanding about the situation, and were given a free cocktail, whilst waiting in the street in the rain... but after 35 minutes we we decided to opt for a next door bar but were assured by Bourne and Hollingsworth that they would call us as soon as the table became available..... and hour later again, and i returned the bar - which was full, our table was being used by someone else and the manager had no explination what so ever. Perhaps you're thinking we were a bunch of drunk / slutty hens and they didnt like the look of us.. but nope... we're pretty much their target consumer, and not drunk or dressed badly. I think their total lack of customer service and respect for a pre arranged booking, should make anyone planning to book here for a party of any kind think twice. I'm sure the teacup cocktails are super great, but I'm not sure it makes up for them being totally inept.
