Went back to Janet's Bar and was happy to see it is going strong! There are loads of new cocktails and the staff is as jolly as ever. Janet is in full form and rules the bar in her professional and entertaining manner. The prices are what you would expect in South Ken but you get lots of extras with your drinks ( free nibbles and live entertainment). What a great night out!

What fun. A few friends and I came in for a late night drink and there was a great atmosphere - just what I like from a chic bar. The drinks were reasonable considering the bar was in South Kensington and the staff were cool. The drinks tasted great and we even made some new friends after being introduced by Janet! Will be going there again soon.



There were a few people who had a few too many and were complaining but Janet knew how to handle it. As with any bar, if you cant afford it, dont bother going in!

Myself and two friends came across Janets Bar whilst in London for 24hrs. At first, this establishment appeared cosy, and although the drinks prices were extortionate we thought, Well we are in London after all.



Upon tasting our drinks we all agreed that they were very weak and flat (the diet coke was poured frm a 2 litre bottle - at £7.50 per drink I would expect fresh coke, and vodka you can taste). My friend tried to politely complain to the owner Janet who in turn became very aggressive and proceeded to swear at us and accuse us of being drunk and not liking her prices! We left our drinks and vacated the premises. Janets Bar is not to be visited or recommended again. This establishment needs a visit from the Weights & Measures Inspectorate.

I had a memorable St Patrick's party at Janets Bar. Janet and the staff went out of their way to provide us with a fun night. They gave out hats and Dame Edna glasses. The musician played our requests.


Janet made people leave who didn't order anything and the crowd supported her. Quite frankly, we wouldn't want to sit in a bar with stingy people.

Janets Bar was recommended to me and so I was looking forward to trying it. We tried to order four drinks as one of our party wanted to wait before she ordered. Janet refused to give her a glass of tap water and insisted that she buy a £2.50 bottle of still water if we were going to stay because 'Something might happen to her and if she hasn't bought a drink here I can be held responsible'.


When it was pointed out to Janet that this was a spurious excuse she called us mean, despite the fact that we were still trying to order four £8.50 cocktails. Needless to say we walked out. Janets Bar is just a tawdry rip-off with poor service and a unfiendly atmosphere. Avoid it!

Last night was my first time at Janets Bar, but it won't be the last! It has fab live music with no cover charge, and fair prices as the shots are large. The crowd is really cool and friendly. Janets Bar picks a welcoming staff. Janet is a magnet. This is my new local!

Janets Bar is a potentially fabulous little venue that could become one of my favourite places were it not for the ridiculously over-priced drinks and the rudest bar staff. We could even have seen past the average but expensive house wine, but the fact that we had to drink it with our coats on because the girl behind the bar refused to close the patio doors, was the killer!



When I asked her to close them she said she had a headache and didn't care that we were cold! Janets Bar could be the coolest bar in South Ken, and the prices could even be overlooked, but boy does Janet need to sack her staff and hire some other people!
