Absolutely shocking. Made a booking for a group expecting that we would able to take advantage of the 50% happy hour. When it came to ordering drinks we were rudely informed that the deal did not apply that day. We were given no reason and there was no notice anywhere. The staff were rude and uncompromising and kept saying it was a decision taken by the "Head Office"(!).

After we ordered our full-price drinks, and were brought the bill, we were harassed to pay immediately or set up a tab. No one had the intention of leaving without paying. I told a waitress how appalled I was by the service, and she apologised, only to return 5 minutes later and continue to nag.

When I came to pay I noticed a mandatory service charge, even on a single cocktail. I crossed it off the bill, and said I wasn't paying it. The waitress made a fuss and told me I had to, before the manager stepped in and said it was ok.

I have never been to a bar anywhere with worse service.

Do not go here.

Go somewhere else!

My food didn't turn up for over two hours and there was a 10 minute wait to get a drink at the bar - and all of this with 80-90% of the tables and seats still empty. I can scarcely imagine what it'd be like if it as full.

The staff continually kept trying to take 2/3rd full bottles of wine from our table - but only once they were sure everyone had a few drinks and might not notice - and the useless manager flatly denied it was hapening.

To top it off the cocktails were so weak that I may as well have been drinking tap water and all of the prices, from the beer to the house wine & food were extortionate by any standards.

And don't get me started on the music...

There are so many great bars in Farringdon. Don't be drawn in by the fancy decor. This is one of the worst.

This is the worst bar I have ever been to. The doorman and the manager are rude, threatening and unprofessional. They overcharged my bar tab by £100. They then stood over me in a threatening way to force me to pay it.

I would not reccommend this place to my worst enemy. Avoid at all costs. Drinking white lightning in a bus stop in the pouring rain is more enjoyable.

Terrible terrible bar. Rude bar staff who had attitude problems and refused to serve me happy hour cocktails at 9pm on the dot, happy hour being 5-9pm. Cocktails a complete waste of money. 2-for-1 happy hour offer means you get 2 miniscule cocktails that would amount to 1 drink in any other bar. Cocktails themselves completely watered down. I had 8 and remained stone cold sober. Avoid this place at all costs; there are much nice places along Charterhouse St., like next door Omega.

THE rudest manager I have EVER come across.

Having booked a table for 6.30-7 (with email confirmation to prove it) we turned up on Saturday at 7 to find the place wasn't even open and doesn't actually open until 7 anyway...why they told us that time for the booking I have no idea! When we turned up there were staff waiting outside and nothing happening inside, nothing set up at all.

We went to Ortega (fantastic service) to get a drink whilst waiting for it to open/deciding what to do as there were 12 of us and not easy to get a table somewhere else at such short notice. Mr Manager finally turned up so I went to speak to him to very politely request whether he could offer us a discount/some free drinks for the delay and to cheer the dissenters up (some of the group were threatening mutiny at this point) as I still wanted to go there. To which the manager replied 'if you hadn't asked for one then I would have given you a discount'. Hmmmmm, well Mr Manager you lost the business of 12 people and we went and spent £250 in Ortegas instead (who were brilliant by the way) whilst you and your staff sat outside Beduin serving noone and losing money. I would like to think you might lose the attitude in future but I doubt it.

Avoid like the plague, manners cost nothing Mr Manager!

I went to Beduin the other day for the first time and I thought it was amazing! Great atmosphere, great music, great food! Probably the best bar in Farringdon by miles! What more could you want?! I'll definitely be going back! Thanks Beduin!

There was 8 of us ladies, mixed ages from 19-late 40's and we had the best time! Good performance from bar staff, general Staff were really friendly. Drinks at a typical London price but worth the money as they don't hold back! Good atmosphere if your feeling the party vibe, plenty of dance floor space once they open the second room or if you'd prefer a calm relaxed evening the bar area is ideal for that. Overall it's a great venue! If your looking for a fun night out with the girls then I would definitely recommend Beduin Bar
