I really liked this unusual and quirky bar. The cocktail selection is interesting and quite extensive. Its competitively priced and they offer table service even when its really busy with none of that extra service charge you feel obliged to pay on top of your expected bill.
One thing i must say is that the food menu was a lovely surprise. I had a wonderful chicken and gorgonzola salad with cider dressing and apples. There burgers are also excellent and are homemade so you can taste the difference. The menu is different to that posted on the website and much more hearty and tasty with better prices.
On the whole i really liked this bar and enjoyed the relaxed and fun atmosphere much improved since my last visit a year ago.
Quite a varied crowd. Good drinks. Loved the food, plenty of variety and pretty good value for money
I was a bit worried after reading previous reviews of Alphabet, but went for a works night out, and we all absolutely loved it! Quite a busy venue, but this added to the atmosphere of the bar!!
We will be returning!
I went to Alphabet Bar with some friends for drinks and had an amazing time. It is a really relaxed bar with great staff and well made different cocktails. I wish Alphabet Bar stayed open later. I bagged some old comfy sofas in the basement and it was like a home from home. I'll be back.
The Alphabet Bar clearly was once fashionable, but you get a strong sense that everyone has left to go on to a hotter venue and you've just missed the boat. The tired interior and lack of atmosphere on a Friday night at The Alphabet Bar makes it a very disappointing drinking hole.
Alphabet Bar isn't as busy as it used to be on a Saturday, and so it's not uber cool anymore. But it's a nice little bar, and if you get a seat then you can happily stay all night. Alphabet Bar is a "meet me for a drink" place not a "party all night" place. And if you get the barmen on a good night, then they're very fun!
The clientelle at Alphabet Bar are cliquey and make you feel out of place plus the decor and lighting needs updating. Staff at Alphabet bar were unattentive and need a wider range of beers.
I fail to see why Alphabet Bar is listed in the top ten bars in Soho?
Alphabet Bar's not bad, although if you're clearly not a regular you get a few dirty looks from the cliquey crowd. Alphabet need to serve a better range of beers.
Alphabet Bar is full of mind numbingly boring people, completely up their own. The barstaff generally treat the average customer with the sort of contempt once deemed the right of the aristocracy, 'Err hello your working in a bar mate, now give me a beer'...'no you don't deserve a tip for taking the top off my overpriced beer'.
The music at the Alphabet Bar isn't too bad apart from that, unless you enjoy being ripped off for your beer or your company is paying for it, I don't see the point.
I like the worn chilled attitude free Alphabet Bar for a drink with friends and the food at lunchtime, a relaxed place in the madness of Soho, friendly staff, a home in town - but the loos need a lick of paint. A bit of a cuddle rug for adults.
A very good little spot to head for some after works drinks. True, it's a little over-populated by braying media tossers, but that's true of anywhere in Soho. Whilst it's not that cheap it is a great spot to sit and enjoy winding down in a relaxed atmosphere any day of the week.
