If you are extremely pretentious then this is the perfect place to meet up with like minded people.
My friend who needs a walking stick, after being hit by a car a number of years ago, was told he had to check it into the cloakroom because the obviously medically trained staff "didn't think he looked like he needed it". When we protested we were told to leave.
An absolute disgrace of a bar.
I've never eaten here - but drink here alot. If you want cheap drinks and good music, then it's definately the place to go. Yes it can get to be a bit of a meat market, but as long as you ignore them, it's fine!
Bar staff are fantastic, always friendly, and have fantastic cocktails.
A good bar for a night out, but do not under any circumstances consider it for meal in the evening! Disgusting microwaved food, and bad service.
Full of wideboy recruitment consultants and Essex girls throwing around money that they don't have. Tacky and no class at all. Plenty of better places in the City for after work drinks than this place.
Advertised as half price drinks between 5-10pm.
However at 8.45pm you suddenly needed to provide a voucher to get the discount. I popped over the road and got my voucher however it seemed to be a one round voucher as it wasn't returned to me.
I have been drinking in there for years and this is a new "feature". Either it is half price or it isn't, don't treat your customers like idiots.
I also don't think I need to queue for 20 mins to get my coat which I have paid you £2 to hang up. Everyone was putting their coats in at 11pm, is it not possible to have a different queue to quickly pick up your coat? No you just get some attitude from a bloke in a hi-vis coat.
You wouldn't take this from a restaurant so why take it from a bar?
Total Meat Market, some decent music but the girls give you dirty looks and the men look at you like they want to jump you. Maybe it was an off night, but it was so off it put me off totally. Won't be going back to Abacus. Ever.
Fun night on a friday after work, good music and pretty good atmosphere but full of essex peeps who don't work anywhere near bank just trying to pull.
Celebrated my birthday there on Friday and had a great night. Everything was amazing from booking the table to the bartenders who made our drinks. Excellent service, something that is very rare to find in the City. Will be coming back very soon. Thanks Abacus for making it a birthday to remember. Michelle
