Came here for a girly night out. We paid £15 for a meal and salsa dance lessson. we were meant to sit down for 8pm for the meal, but this was delayed until 9pm. The food was measly and tasteless. The drink prices was the biggest joke (7.50 for a glass of wine). Everything ran late so there wasn't much time for dancing. The only good thing about it was the venue and the music.

Having been a regular customer in apt (due to it being very close to where I work) I have always found the service by staff very bad, whenever I book a table for a large group what I end up getting on the day is the total opposite. I was very embarrassed when I once booked a table for 8 and I got a table for 2 with no chairs! I even booked 2 weeks in advanced. The staff at the entrance were rude and so were the bouncers inside who kept having a go and moving our table. All I can say is when you book a table in advance it's never guranteed on the day so be carful and the staff are not very understanding at all!

A friend and I went there last night for a promoted party. I noted that the drink prices were on the high end. My friend warned me that the bar staff were charging different prices for the same drink and to be careful. The same happened I was charged 10.70 for rum and mix (not premium rum) I had paid 9.45 for previously. I mentioned nothing but was given 8.30 change from £30 pounds. I really felt the staff thought I was drunk and the young lady in particular was operating in a dishonest way. I will also complain to the promoters. My friend was charged 8.80 for the same drink and confronted this same lady. The bar should do something about this individual in particular. I have never experienced such inconsistency in pricing in a london bar.

went in mid-Jan for a girly night out. arrived in time to take advantage of the half price deal, which ends at 10pm, for food and drinks. we ordered 2 platters, which were normally 16 pounds each, so good value there with the deal. bottle of wine was around 12 pounds normally for house, and 18 for something a bit nicer. . they start charging entry at 10pm. you get the half price deal through registering on their website, or chancing your arm at the bar to have some cards on hand to fill out with your email address etc for half price. i adopted a system of having a tab opened until 15 minutes before 10pm to maximise use of the voucher. cloakroom downstairs, and no charge for bags, while coats are 2 pounds i think. crowd is mainly city slickers and you get a lot of people trying their chances on a Friday night. run of the mill charts on the music front, some decent dancers.

I've been there a few times for lunch and have been let down one way or another by the food, on one occasion I was even told they had no meat, so all that was available was fish and veg! I booked in advance too, so I thought someone would have contacted me to pre-warn me.

However, more recently a colleague of mine who dined there saw a cockroach during their lunch!! I wouldn't go there again to eat!

I attended Apt Bar on Friday 28th Jan for my birthday, it didn't get off to a great start. I had reserved an area about a week prior just to make sure we had somewhere to chill out before the party started and a lot of my friends wanted to have something to whilst we were there. When I got to the bar I was told that an was not reserved for me (Even though I had my e-mail confirmation in my hand) they said an error had occurred which they failed to inform me about. As an apology they gave my group 2 bottles of champers, it was just a shame we had no where to drink them. The music was a good varied mixture, overall it was a good evening, but I think that was more to do with the drink rather than the bar itself.

If you do book an area I would strongly advise you call them the day before and on the day to confirm your booking.

A friend a I went to Apt on Friday 14th for drinks. We had reserved a table and had a really good night, we enjoyed the music. Went to leave around midnight to get last train/tube home,went to the cloak room to get our coats to be told one of the cloak room girls (jo) had given my friends coat to another person! As you can imagine we were both really annoyed about this and very disappointed that she had ruined a really good night we had had at Apt. Jo then tried to give my friend someone elses coat to make up for this - come on how ridiculous is that! She also went on to say that it wasn't her fault and wouldn't except any liability for what she had done. If when we put our coats in the staff had pointed out a sign with that written down then maybe we would have thought twice about using the cloak room although you think they are meant to be safer there then using a back of a chair! Well not in this case. I then left my friend to try to sort it out coz it was getting later and later, so I went outside. Told the two men on the door the situation and that my friend didn't have a coat coz the incompetent staff had given it away and it was freezing and by this time we had missed the last train/tube home! We then had to wait for a taxi in the cold because they wouldn't let us back in, in fact they laughed at us! Nice huh! When I asked for their names they wouldn't give them to me coz they knew how poorly we had been treated. No-one apologised that night. I have never been treated like this before in my life and think it's disgusting. Think twice about going to Apt! The poor service we received will mean my friends and I won't be returning to Apt in the future.

Went to celebrate a colleague's birthday. She booked in advance so we had an area which helped. Everyone was so friendly and the host even came over to assure our needs were being met. I was empressed as our section was decorated with balloons and the Birthday girl was not expecting this. Very thoughtful. We didn't realise, but they had some kinda promotion for January where we had drinks at half price until round 10. That was brilliant! It was a brilliant night and we did party till late. Great atmosphere at a brilliant price with great service. Loved it. My advice is make sure you book as it helps to have a base so you are still able to make your way back to friends when very tipsy!
