Went to Adventure Bar for third time as there isnt anywhere better on a Friday night after work! Great music great atmosphere ..but this time was my birthday. And I couldnt have asked for a more perfect night. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff but in particular Pia and Petra the phenomenal bar demons !! They can make any drink and even created non alcoholic cocktail for pregnant friend. Booking and deals easy to do and easy to get hold of. Two hour Happy Hour is brilliant Value for money!! I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who loves cocktails music and a fun easy going, trouble free night!! :)

Really good Friday night at adventure, I booked a table for 16 but only 10 of us went and we were a bit squished, but had a table! The cocktails are all delishious! Buuuuuut expensive, the happy hour is short and there's not much selection of other drinks. The atmosphere was fun and the music choice cheese but brilliant, the Macarena on a night out is genius! Love Adventure Bar just wish I could afford to love it more!

Went here for a hen do and was a great way to get the party started! Staff were welcoming from the arrival and we got a great offer on the drinks as it was happy hour. I would definitely recommend it. We had reserved a table before hand also, which was a good idea and Ryan the bookings manager was excellent to liaise with.

We went to Adventure Bar for my girlfriend's birthday on Saturday; this is the 2nd party I've organised at the bar and as always we had a fantastic time. Great, friendly staff that as usual set the mood for a great night. We got there for Happy Hour and stayed all night as we made mistake last time of leaving early for a club that was then a massive anti-climax. Highly recommended to anyone who likes good drinks, great atmosphere and just an all round great night out in London. Plus if you make it for Happy Hour it's bloody good value for money! We'll probably be back for my birthday in a few months!

Brilliant cocktail bar! I arranged a work night out here a while back and everyone had an awesome night! Plus works out really cheap if you go during the happy hour and get the two for one offer! Good music and the staff are hilariously crazy (love them!) Good, fun night out!

I visited Adventure Bar for the first time a couple of weeks ago after a recommendation from a friend. I booked a booth through the website and I can truly say that the experience was enjoyable! My friends and I arrived to a table that had party hats and party poppers on them which was a nice little surprise. The cocktail selection was huge and the cocktails themselves were amazing! To top it off the staff were very helpful and friendly!
I will definitely be going back!
Thanks

Love this bar! Been with the work lot for drinks a few times, atmosphere is always buzzing. My only criticism would be that the music could be better but the cocktails are amazing and the bar staff are very friendly so all in all its a good place to go for a good time.

This isn't the first time I've been to Adventure Bar in Covent Garden so I'm fast running out of superlatives for this venue! The apmosphere is always buzzing, the service is quick, accurate and friends... and it's full of the sort of people I was to mingle with. Quite simply, your life isn't complete until you've spent an evening here.

Adventure Bar is a true Gem! In London it would be enough to be serving the best cocktails in town at very reasonable prices, but for Adventure Bar it's really the team that make the difference. They are all super friendly and super cool.I threw a small party for my sister and everyone had the most fantastic time, they were extremely accommodating and helpful and along with GREAT Music, BRILLIANT Atmosphere, TOP NOTCH Staff and the best drinks you'll find anywhere, it was a roaring success.Thanks guys...you're the best :-)Dave Todd

Adventure Bar is without a doubt my favorite place to go on a Friday night after a long week at work. The cocktails are excellent and the music always gets me into that party mood. If your looking for a good bar with second to none service and lots of laughs - head to Adventure!

Best bar in London, without a shadow of a doubt! I had my 21st here and I had THE most incredible night, the music was brilliant, the cocktails are out of this world and the staff are brilliant (especially Ryan and Alex who looked after us so well :D) before my night they were in contact to make sure everything was ok and that I was looking forward to my big night, while we were there the staff were so much fun dancing on the sofas with us and making us feel more like friends than customers and they've been in contact since just to make sure I enjoyed my night. 5 stars isn't enough for this place! Love it and will definitely be back soon!

INCREDIBLE! Could not rate this bar high enough! spent my 21st here with 15 friends, not a single person had a bad thing to say, the bar staff were so helpful and fun, before my night had started they were checking if things were OK, during they were dancing with us, making sure we had enough drinks and generally being amazing people to be around, after my night I was asked personally how things went and they were double checking everything was OK on my big night! Best cocktails bar in London. Hell best bar in London full stop! 100% highly recommended for drinks quality, staff awesomeness and incredible night guaranteed! :D MY FAVOURITE BAR! Also a huge thank you to the gorgeous Ryan and Alex who made us feel so welcome and who made my night so special :)- Kerri McDonagh

If you are a lover of trendy places Adventure Bar is the place for you. I booked my Birthday party there and all of my friends had a great time as well as me. The staff were really helpful and they made my day feel special. We got a bottle of Champagne too. There was a little misunderstanding with the booked date, but Adventure Bar sorted out everything quickly and sufficiently. (Special thanks to Rayan from Brighton- you are a STAR mate) xxxThe music was not your usual comers, but was a mixed of old and new. I had to wait a little too long to get a drink but you could understand that the bar staff are very busy due to the great selection of cocktails they have. Hit Adventure Bar right this weekend, you wont be sorry!!!!

With so many bars in the West End, Adventure manages to stand out due to the great drinks, great vibe and genuinely the friendliest staff I have ever come into contact with. If I'm out for a few drinks in Covent Garden, I will without fail find myself down there for a drink at some point in the evening. Thanks guys for rocking it every time I come down!

Excellent bar!

Great mix of music, lovely atmosphere, well thought out and great tasting cocktails - my favourites were the cookie monster and the one that tastes like a snickers but there are so many to choose from! The staff are lovely and friendly too! Definitely recommend it to everyone - will be bringing the girls back for cocktails very soon!

Party hats and party poppers!

What more can I say, from the minute my friends and I sat down on Saturday night to a table laden with hats, party poppers and a card signed by all the staff, we knew we were in for a cracking evening of great drinks, dancing and general sillyness. I’ve never seen such happy, friendly staff in London and the drinks, music and rest of the atmosphere is just awesome.

You can tell a lot of thought has gone into Adventure in Covent Garden.. I was particularly excited to find a secret entrance for those guys from Fraggle Rock to enter! It’s details like that, that get you very very excited after a couple of ‘Mango Collins’ and several shots of ‘Skittles Vodka’. I really would recommend this bar, especially for a celebration, out of all the places I’ve gone for my birthday celebrations in London this was by far the best night I’ve had so far.

I held my 30th birthday party at the Covent Garden branch on the 7th May which was attended by about 60-70 people. The initial attraction was the fact that I didn't have to pay a fee to reserve pretty much every booth at the rear of the bar nor guarantee a minimum spend behind the bar. I honestly couldn't have asked for better hosts. The staff were incredibly fun and friendly and sooo not your usual surly London bar staff. The selection and quality of cocktails is second to none and during happy hour they actually didn't taste as if they were watered down which you sometimes find at other bars. Even though my memory of the night is a bit fuzzy, I'm told I was given a free bottle of champayne accompanied by sparklers and were also given a number of other drinks on the house (so I'm told!). And although my own bar tab came to a grand total of £357, for me, this top notch hospitality is what stands Adventure Bar out from other bars in London. Adventure Bar, please do all you can to ensure this doesn't change! I and all my birthday party goers just wished it stayed open later than midnight that's all. That is probably the only criticism I can think of. Thanks to all again at Adventure Bar for making my 30th birthday so memorable (well, of what I remember anyway!). And thanks also to my lovely girlfriend who did all the organising! :-)

I couldn't have asked for better bar staff, they were all really friendly and they helped keep us in the party mood the whole time, the free champagne they provided certainly was an added bonus!

Will definitely be coming back!

We celebrated a friend's birthday here on a Saturday. The music was great! Staff were so friendly and the whole atmosphere was just right! We received a complimentary bottle of champagne on the night! Everyone had such a good time! Even my boyfriend, who is extremely fussy with cocktails (he used to work at a cocktail bar), loved the cocktails at Adventure! We'll definitely go again!

This is a place that really gets going after 7pm but as we were there at 5 we were well and truly in the mood for it post 7pm

I HAVE NO IDEA how the bar staff keep up that level of energy.

The music flirted on the cheesy border without becoming tacky.

Whatever the door policy is it works as everyone seems to be having a good time.

I would definitely go back

Fantastic cocktails with a great discount during happy hour - which I believe is 4-7pm Mon-Fri. The location is great and the inside decor has been done really well. The owners are really invested in making customers happy and generating loyalty and so the drinks aren't overpriced, the ambiance is great and they play fantastic music. My favourite bar in London.

I love this bar. It's a great Covent Garden happy hour (2 for 1 drinks) and they've definitely done their research with delicious drinks from around the world. The bartenders are upbeat and charming and let you know they recognize your existence - even if they can't serve you right away - so you don't feel like you're waiting in no man's land. The music is also unbelievable - each song a dance hit and accompanied by party poppers and hats no less! A really fun night out that I'd highly recommend.

This is an absolutely fantastic find. It has innovative cocktails, as for happy hour, it's more like hilarous hour and it lasts a lot longer than an hour! The staff are all really friendly and they are always happy to go the extra mile to accommodate for your needs. The best thing is that although it is based in covent garden, the prices are not reflected by the location. There is also ample space and the atmosphere is so friendly, you won't ever find trouble there! Finally, I have found a bar that is more interested in making it a fun night out than making quick cash! It's now become my new favourite "local"!

Best bar in Covent Garden! GREAT happy hour deals, relaxing yet fun atmosphere. Can be quieter for a post-work drink and get a bit livelier later in the evenings...best of both worlds. Bartenders aren't just fantastic servers, they're fun and entertaining! And, if you book a table of eight or more, you get champagne for everyone! Can't beat it. Highly recommended!

What a great bar!

I visited on a Sunday night (happy hour all night) and 2 cocktails are just £8.50! The cocktail menu is very extensive and the bar staff are very knowledgeable about what they do. Mixing up cocktails in a fun way and tasting a drop of every single one before serving it to the customer. I found that really good and it shows they care about the quality of what they are serving. Similar to a good chef in a top restaurant.

The bar staff are super friendly and not like the normal bar staff in other London bars. They were really helpful and were clearly very knowledgeable about the cocktails they were mixing.

Music policy is also different to most bars - no hip hop, RnB or dance music - instead they play a mix of rock, pop, soul etc. Being a Hip Hop head i didn't think i would enjoy the music but it was so chilled and laid back it matched the mood in the bar and i found myself sipping a Mango Collins while chilling to the Beatles.

Overall a great little bar and definitely worth visiting.
