I have never been to a bar where the staff are so rude. If we asked for the simplest of things, like a drink or a knife and fork, we either got ignored or scowled at by the men behind the bar.

True, the drinks are the cheapest around, but I wouldn't put myself through such a negative experience again. Absolutely horrible place, and I couldn't wait to leave!

101 is the ideal place for a funny girly night out. The door men are hilarious and friendly and I have never seen them act aggressively or rudely. Ditto with bar, cloakroom and loo staff. The people are never prententious and always there just to have fun. Can definately sympathise with the comment about the men refusing to take no for an answer, but they're always harmless guys often tourists who want to dance with an english girl. I always find that the men at 101 add to the humour of the night and every so often you meet someone worthwhile.
I also have many male friends who love the vibe and it's always a secure back up plan when a night runs dry elsewhere. The only person who claimes to hate the place is my boyfriend, but I have totallly seen him having a wild time on the dance floor.

Oh yeah and the cocktails are amazing and not too expensive. I recommend the hazlenut martini :)

I went to 101 last saturday and really liked it.
Kool atmosphere, delicious cocktails, awesome music, friendly staff and lots of relaxed people to talk to.
The only bad point was one of the doormen that got a bit too "friendly" and close.

I went to 101 bar with my girlfriend last night, and had a good night. The bouncers here are very relaxed and nice compared to alot of bouncers in other bars/clubs in london.

The drinks are also reasonably priced, which i wasn't expecting due to the free entry. The only bad point was the dj who kept playing tunes from 2001 - 2003!!

No recent tunes were played,but eventually we just got used to it. Ill deffo be going back

Ok, firstly, if I could rate this bar any lower than 1 stars I would give it -5! Like someone else said, they got knocked and told that it was 'couples night'.

This of course is a complete load of bu****it!!!!It almost ruined our night out, but luckily I had plan B and C :D.

We eneded up going to a club called walkabout. This was alright, had a good dance, I would give that place 3 stars.

So yes, if you plan on taking a visit to bar 101, DO NOT, because you will most likely be dissapointed!!

The staff were really nice and friendly, the people were lovely and very sociable and unpretentious. The service was excelllent and the cocktails just fab! The music was a well-balanced mix, which was great. I highly recommend it.

I have been to bar 101 a few times. Mostly on a Friday night and I have always enjoyed my time there. Lindy, the blonde DJ always rips out a good selection of funky disco, pop, rnb tunes and is a good venue to go for a dance and a few drinks.

Yes the dance floor does get busy as does the seating areas.
