was in last night for my birthday celebrations and had a wonderful time! I phoned earlier in the week to see if there was anyway i could reserve an area for me and my friends and this was done with ease and best of all completely free of charge... all the bookings taker asked was that we turned up and enjoyed the night. I noticed in the previous comment about the VAT price increase and can sympathise with Elena yet at the same time i understand it was only an increase of about 30p?! (i think... my memory is hazy thanks to the several birthday cocktails!) Plus the prices are ridiculous; Mint Juleps for under £7?! DJ mint, Staff mint, Mint juleps... mint!
NIce but quite small pub on the portobello strip. Its very dark inside which depending on the weather is either lovely and cosy or a bit disorientating, either way I always think it makes for a good drinking hole when the lights are low.
The G&T's here are fantastic, the bar staff know their stuff and there is some gin made on site (although most of their home grown brand happens elsewhere in London, seems fine).
Big comfy booths, if you can nab one on market day I'd be surprised, although I heard they are moving to a very close new venue thats much bigger so thats great news! Much nicer than lots of the stuffy overpriced bars in the area!
Great bar best in London. Ashton behind the bar great customer service and very knowledgeable should be given a pay rise
AMAZING COCKTAILS!! Honestly probably one of the best makers of cocktails in London. Much fun to go with friends and go through the list although the longer the list the more wobbley you might get. Saturday nights tend to get very rammed so would go a bit earlier than late.
The staff in this bar need to be sacked! They were young, arrogant and drunk, chatting amongst themselves and taking ages to serve people. In particular one female member of staff was extremely abusive, customers were genuinely shocked by her behaviour! We will never drink here again!
