Went to the embassy this weekend and thought it was great. Music was fantastic and i loved the bar downstairs, loving the disco ball! There was a charge at the door but i didnt mind paying seeming i could put my coat and bag away in the cloakroom and the bar was open until 2am....
we did have to wait a little while for a drink but it was very busy, and all the staff were very nice. All in all had a great night. Would recommend for a fun, Sophisticated and reasonably cheap night out x
Noisy, awful and extremely over loud music. No good atmosphere at all, except if you like drunk and depressed people lying around on the sofas. The worst staff ever, but the responsible for the cloakroom. I was stopped outside the door and asked to pay the entrance fee in a really heavy rainy evening. I asked the porter to allow me to go to the entrance hall just to open my wallet (I was completely wet and carrying my scarf to protect my hair). He allowed me to go inside just after asking him for the forth time and looking at him completely angry with the situation. Well, I was there only to celebrate a friend of mine’s birthday which is why I insisted to stay, otherwise, seriously, I would never stay in a place where already at the entrance hall someone treats me so badly. Must close down.
This is such a good bar. I love coming here, mid week and on the weekends. A great atmosphere and friendly bar staff. They are also willing to make you cocktails that aren't on the list!! Drinks are very reasonably priced and the decor is fab! The girls toilets are really nice and clean with a little 2 seater for the chats that we tend to have in there! I would recommend this bar to people who like cool music where you can actually chat and not have to scream over the music. There are no kids in there and everyones there for a good time. I have met lots of really nice and interesting people in there. I hope it stays open forever!!! (or at least until I'm too old to be going out) Amy x
My friends and I love the flock wallpaper and the feel of the place. Every time we've been there, it's been great and we always look forward to having a boogie in the downstairs bar.
We go often enough that they have issued us membership cards which gets us free entry. Another nice thing is that since the smoking ban, they now have a lovely area outside decked out for us smokers (we should really quit).
This is not a club. It's just a pub and this is apparent when you walk in the place. They are trying to make people believe that it's a club by getting a DJ and charging people to get in...ridiculous.
I went on a Saturday night and there were only a few people there having a quiet drink. Nothing wrong with that but they've got a bloody cheek charging people to get in. Poncey wallpaper and an area cleared in the tiny basement for people to dance does not a club make!
This Embassy nightclub is not what they say it is. It's a load of shit.
The Embassy Bar is really rubbish. The bar service was very slow, and the dance floor was only a quarter full on a Friday night becuase the music was appalling.
I would definitely give the Embassy Bar a miss.
The history behind the cellars at the Embassy Bar is really interesting, if you are able to get anyone to talk you through them. Although Embassy Bar itself is a lot more interesting and the bar staff are very friendly and obliging.
