Eclipse SW3 is allowed to fill to beyond EU regulations, the staff are mostly very attentive although the odd exceedingly rude member of staff manages to ruin the evening.
Decor at Eclipse SW3 was nicely laid out when not overly full of people and the seating areas in general very comfortable. Music was rather similar to that of an elevator I was once in but if you like your music ambient and wouldn't want to offend your grandmother it will lull you into a sense of peace which will only be broken when looking at the receipt the next day.
Ok, so if you're a Shoreditch regular you will hate this place. You will wish unpleasantness onto all those who frequent it. If you have enough money, you like being surrounded by people who will spend the evening trying to see if there is someone more important they should be speaking to and staff who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire - you have found a home.
The Friday night crowd tend to be more the city types but on Saturday it gets a bit more happening with all the funky Fulham crowds descending on it!
If you're up for a relaxed evening with your friends and some really gorgeous barstaff (ask for Will) then go there.
They then proceded to lose my friend's switch card which was also behind the bar, and refuse to serve a journalist friend who was also with us saying the bar had closed, but then serve another girl 'because she was prettier' to quote the barman.
We're not plebs, we go out around here all the time and work in the media so know the score but there is a real difference between being a Chelsea bar and frankly taking the piss out of your customers. Perhaps their usual customers don't check their bills and don't mind the odd extra drink on them, or perhaps when they question the bill the staff aren't really rude and tell them it's up to them to sort it out. Either way it spoiled a lovely evening, when between the whole party we spent over 500 on drinks (you'd think they'd have been a bit nicer to us). The drinks, music, decor and everything else are fab.
