Probably the friendliest and hardest working bar staff in London. This bar has been around for ages and really transformed the scene in London (I remember a time when only hotels had bars and everything else was a pub). I entertain quite often and have never failed to get a complement for taking someone to Eclipse. A bit of a shame it's so popular, but that's what happens to all great places.

I had a great night at Eclipse and would recomment it to anyone. The decor is trendy the music is fab and the watermelon cocktails are amazing, we had so much fun.
The staff were really attentive and rembered all of our drinks.
We will be coming back here soon - if you have not been before it is a complete must.

Frankly, Eclipse SW3 is awful. But then again that would be why I do not usually frequent this area. I guess if it's where the 'funky' fulham crowd hang I would not rate this as synonymous with cool.


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.

Eclipse is a smart, elegant and really good fun bar. The prices are a bit steep but the cocktails and shooters are really worth it (Strawberry Kamikaze to name one).
During the week it's normally quite chilled and not very busy but on Friday and Saturday nights it's packed!


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.

Eclipse looks lovely, drinks are fantastic, pretty much normal prices for this area BUT the last time I visited it the service was appalling. My boyfriend set up a tab, something they encourage you to do as it's easier...but then when the bill came there were extra drinks on the bill - that we hadn't ordered. The manager said a blonde girl had come up with the tab, strange seeing as it was in my bag the whole time.

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.

Eclipse - Funky, cool, great drinks, gorgeous staff who remember me, and bongo playing to die for. The other bars in the area are just poor imitations (including the Eclipse on Old Brompton Old).

Visited Ecplise on Walton St for the third time last weekend and am still highly impressed.

We were in the VIP section so had space reserved for us. The table service is fantastis with the waitress's knowledge of drinks as astounding as her beauty.


Funky tunes all night, and at the perfect volume allowing you to talk to your friends whilst still getting in the vibe.

Highly recommended!
