Crazy Bear
-
This is the London outpost of Oxfordshire's upmarket hotel and bar Crazy Bear. A charming hostess leads you to a low-lit, Lilliputian basement bar of quiet chatter, padded alcoves, swivel cowhide stools and low-slung leather armchairs. Swanky cocktails (£8.50/£9.50 for champagne variants) are the order of the day, and mixed to perfection. There are classics with a twist (lychee mojitos, strawberry and basil mules) and quirky originals like a Ginger Bear of Koko Kanu rum, chocolate liqueur, ginger and lemongrass. If mixed drinks don't appeal, there are three champagnes (Gallimard, Pol Roger Reserve and Billecart-Salmon) available by the glass, as are a dozen wines; a full wine list is also available. Beers are bottled and include Singha, Monteith's and Tiger. Whatever your choice, a level of sobriety is required for the incredibly glam but disorientating loos (the doors are hidden in the walls and everything is mirrored). Bar snacks include dim sum (£4), spring rolls and satays.

Visit on Sat 08/03/09. A mixed and disappointed experience. We were a group of 12 celebrating a birthday. They were very accomodating in providing us a table. The decor is fastasic. The drinks were good, although for the same price we've had better at numerous venues. The waitress we had was the real downfall. The service was slow and on we had to chase them on drinks after waiting 15-20 mins after the order was taken. This resulted in one drink being brought over twice. The waitress then decided to have a go at us for their mistake. After which we recieved no service at all. When we'd had enough and wanted the bill she seemed to intentionally ignore our looks and gestures and even when I walked over to speak to her she turned and walked away and I had to ask another waiter to bring the bill. Definitely not one that I'll go back to.
