Time Out says

Thu May 9 2013

In the heart of the City, close to the Royal Exchange, Abacus is well placed for wheelers and dealers to meet, eat and drink. As well as the main lounge bar with its chandeliers, leather and marble, there's a club area downstairs for those looking to shift their operations to the dance floor. The drinks menu includes cocktails and shooters, while food options are burgers, fajitas, fish and chips and platters.

I'm only offering one star because its happy hour prices are reasonable (though I think their wines are over-priced to ensure you still pay a hefty amount even after 50% off!). Other than that, avoid at all costs. It's cheap and nasty, and the Manager on the night we were there was unbelievably rude, refusing to even talk to us because we asked to split our bill for our bar tab and pay half each! We then noticed he'd added on 3 double vodka and cokes which we hadn't ordered, but refused to come over and discuss it with us - and nor would any of the other staff! Absolute rip off merchants - and you simply get no response to emails sent to them, and nobody picks up the phone either. Have been trying for 3 days now. The place is full of boozed up blokes on the pull with anything that moves, and girls that it appeared like to start fights with each other. Lovely place. Not.

I came in Abacus bar on Friday 27th may. One of the bouncer was very very rude, and I actually find out that the person in question was James, a manager. Here is what happened. three of my friends came around 7:30, they were wearing trainers, later after 10, other 3 friends of mine came to join us, one of them was wearing trainers and the bouncer was not letting him in. As we did not have any idea of the dress code, I tried to ask some explanation to one of the bouncer standing outside the door and wearing a red shirt. I could not even finish to say "sorry" that he said to me "DO I LOOK LIKE A DICKHEAD?". I was amazed, myself have been working in costumer service for years and this is certainly not the way a person should relate to a costumer. However, I was trying to ask him a question and he replied to me "IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR FRIEND OUTSIDE". Well, I was amazed of such behaviour. I have been coming to your bar many times earlier and I really liked it. However I will certainly not come there anymore and certainly I will do a very bad advertising of this place especially about management part and the rudeness and unkindness of the people, in particular of the person under the name of James or whomever was wearing the red shirt that night, not only I will make sure that everyone will know about such event. I am dispappoint and disgusted of such attitude especially when people book tables, spend lots of money in drinks and food, and take people in the place. It is outrageous.
