Top notch stuff here.
Visited on a recommendation from a friendly barman at Graffiti Bar near home and was not disappointed.
Atmosphere was infectious and the cocktails made very quickly to a high standard.
The only downside was that it took some time to get served, but considering how busy the bar was, the staff coped extremely well.
Easily the best bar in Camden.
I booked a table on a Saturday Night for my birthday, and had the time of my life!
The atmosphere in the bar was pure party, the music was awesome. The range and quality of the drinks was outstanding.
For me the highlight was the excellent service from our barman, despite being under huge pressure behind the busy bar, he made an effort to talk to us, learn our names, recommend and talk us through the science behind the perfect drinks he was creating, and all the while clearly enjoying himself as much as we were.
I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone!
Go there, you wont regret it!
I haven't been to every cocktail bar in London, but if I had I'm sure this would be one of the top. Amazing range of cocktails, at a price to make you smile, especially at happy hour. Try the ice cream cocktails! Absolutely delicious. Anyone who comes here for a vodka coke is a fool, there are so many more interesting drinks on the menu, for every taste. Downside to visiting such a great bar, it's usually busy so don't be surprised if you have to wait at the bar or for seats. The staff are very friendly (well always have been to me) and very conscientious.
Whenever I am asked by friends visiting London where they should go I always say 55 Bar.
It always amazes me the quality of drinks these guys make under such pressure, with such an extensive menu. Happy Hour does get busy but the drinks are really worth waiting for.
My group of friends and I go quite a lot and we always have a good night - there is always a buzzy atmosphere, partly down to the bar team clearly having a good time!
Also, not sure about the comment below about the drinks being pricey. They seem pretty reasonable given the quality and in comparison to other less enjoyable, pretentious venues I've been to!
Looking forward to enjoying some more summer evenings sitting outside, enjoying a cocktail or two!
Although the cocktails were good, the atmosphere was a bit bland and the layout of the bar was pretty awkward. But the thing that annoyed me was the fact that the bar staff were more interested in doing Jagerbombs than serving me. Stood at the bar like a lemon - a lemon not invited to a private party. One drink and we left. But....will give it the benefit of the doubt and try another night as I have heard good things.
at one minute to 6 when the 2 for 1 started, I was told I couldnt order the cocktails and pay when the tills changed over. As much as the bartenders think they're amazing I doubt they can bust out a decent cocktail in a minute. Nice bar, massive menu, massive ego.
Best. Effing. Bar. Seriously; the atmosphere, the music, the staff, (who are all, by the way, incredibly talented and attractive) everything about Fifty Five Bar and Lounge was awesome. My cousin is a barman in St Albans, and he took me there for the best mojitos in London. I was not disappointed! My only suggestion would be for the outside seating - the metal chairs are cold as ice on your bum, if there's any chance of getting wooden chairs out there I'd be thrilled! Inside is cozy, gorgeous, perfect. I will be back again soon, and I'm bringing my best gal pals with me. Xoxo
After seeing a few positive reviews, my wife and I decided to visit this establishment, and Im very glad that we did. The place had a great atmosphere and an unusually large range of cocktails - needless to say we we both a bit worse for wear the following morning
