I've booked a table for my Birthday tomorrow night and have been given table number 406 in my email confirmation. I noticed on the website they have a 360 degree video which shows the venue and where all the tables are etc, but there is no booth that says 406?? Anyone know?

Well it does smell rather dirty! I felt overcome with the smell of sweaty feet when I walked into the club, so I didn't stay long enough to try the Martini. The security seemed unfriendly and rude and I would never go back.

6 cosmopolitains £52!!! I think not. Oddly dark as you walk in for 6pm on a Saturday. Staff seemed OK but we waited a long time for our very uninspiring drinks!We had spent the day at an amazing cocktail place 2 minutes walk from here, go there!!

Do not waste your time to even visit this bar let alone spend your money!!!!Me and my friend were Just there tonight, and the bar staff (if you can call them that) were complete rude and arrogant, they made us the wrong drinks which had no taste of alcohol in them, when I asked to speak to the bartender he said 5 mins, I waited 15mins and he still didnt even bother to look at me.This is a shit place, me and my friend wanted to try something new ( and now we know why people dont like thisplace)If you want a fabulous place for cocktails go to LAB BAR-SOHO AMAZING, GRAPHIC GOLDEN SQAURE, FLORIDITA,MILK & HONEY

visited this bar on Friday night in two couples, bouncer who we encountered had all the people skills of a mountain gorilla.

I am sure this bar spends a lot of time and money on promotion. When you do get the punter inside why allow a paranoid half wit to ruin the evening.

Come on Dirty Martini, you know who is he must have done it before, up the stakes on your security quality.

After reading other reviews on this site however seems it is a cultural thing.

Spend your hard earned cash somewhere that will treat you with respect

totally agree! nice venue but shame about rude bouncer. went there last night and encountered some of the rudest & abusive bouncer, would not have stayed or spend any money there if it wasn't my friend's birthday. I will NOT go back there again!

We went to Dirty Martini for my friend's hen do and had a brilliant time.

We were extremely impressed with the venue, the drinks (especially the chocolate martini!), the music and the staff.

We pre-booked a booth and had our own waitresses - well worth it. The bar isn't huge but we had plenty of space to dance and it was great that we had somewhere to sit and leave our bags. We didn't need to queue at the bar all evening as our waitresses were attentive and very professional.

Our waitresses were great, they looked after us impecably and also had a word with the DJ who adjusted his music to our taste. The bouncers made sure that our space was kept just for us.

I would thoroughly recommend a night out at Dirty Martini - a great venue for a Hen Do or a night out to celebrate a special occasion. Easy to find and very accessible - great management who were flexible and tailored their hen do package to our requirements. The only criticism is that it was very hot so bring a hair band to tie your hair back!

Thanks for a fab night out - I'm sure we'll visit again!

I recently held a surprise Birthday party at Dirty Martini and was very impressed by how welcome we where made to feel and how attentive the staff where, particuarly the staff that where assigned to our table. The team where extremley helpful from beginning to end and did not seemed phased by how busy it was.

The Dirty Martini team made our evening very special and i would highly recommend this venue if you are planning to hold a party or any other type of celebration.

A great night all round with fabulous cocktails . What more could you ask for!
