We went to this bar to celebrate my friend 30's on a Friday night. We straight away found that the layout of the bar was not optimum with massive tables close to the bar making the place smaller than it is. What a shame!

The ambiance was good and around 9.30 pm a Dj started playing some tunes that only the over 25's could really enjoy. That was great fun for us.

My main issue with this venue is the price of some drinks. I'm pregnant and therefore don't drink alcohol. I took the habit to exchange my pint of lager for a glass of soda water which most of the time is free but not here. No no no, they charged me £1.60!
I don't mind paying for some water but not that much. Well the second time I complained and they waved this outrageous fee.

My partner was drinking pints of beers which for this area were very reasonably priced £3.80 or something like that. But around 11pm all taps were out of service so impossible to get a pint, left with no other choice than buying small bottles (33cl) at the same price!

It left us with a bitter taste, not sure we'll be back.

I have just spent a disappointing evening at Jerusalem. The start, middle and end were ruined by the abrasive door staff. Once past his rude greeting, you're in and enjoying a drink, only for him to disturb you by physically wedging you between two chunky tables without warning! The evening wouldn't be complete without some verbal, sexist abuse as you leave - a tripple whammy of offensiveness. The toilets smelled really bad too. I would not recommend this bar.

Earlier on tonight I had been queuing outside a club on rathbone place for about 15 minutes only to find when I went in that it wasn't worth the wait. I left sharpish. It was then that I discovered Jerusalem!
You walk down a flight of stairs to what looks like a secret place of fun. Pleasant doorman. How rare is that? Friendly staff that make you feel so welcome. There were a couple of accidents with people knocking over their glasses, but the staff were there cleaning it up in seconds! It was nice to go somewhere in the west end where the DJ played to the crowd and not for himself. Even took requests!
I will definitely be going back

I think Jerusalem gets some bad press and I don't know why! I go to Jerusalem a lot and for one simple reason, its a guaranteed great night out.
The music always rocks, the drinks are great and not too pricey, the service is excellent, some lovely looking barmen, very helpful ladies on the door (rare for a London bar), perfect location and the food isn't bad either. The decor is a little dark but if it changed into a swanky, slick place then it just wouldnt be as good.
I always recommend this bar and have had some amazing nights there.
I love it and will be returning soon.

Went to Jerusalem for lunch the other day The £5 lunch deal was amazing and it was a really relaxing environment. I have previously been there during the evening. It is a really good value for the money and I am never been disappointed.

Worse service ever, super slow, and had my drink stolen by the glass collector. spoke to the manager about it and was told it was my responsibility to look after my drink, even though i saw the guy clearing my drink away. if it was a mixer it wouldn't matter, but i was a double shot of vodka and ice. the decor is really old and the speaker really load for such a small venue.

crappy bar, bad and slow service ... why would anyone go here ?

I've been here three or four times with friends and we usually end up having a decent evening.

We normally go on a week day evening and it's not busy at all around 6-7pm. There is a restaurant area and the food is good quality and reasonably priced.

We did go there for a few drinks one Friday evening and it got very busy. I left to get some food and they wanted me to pay to get back in as I arrived back after 10pm.

They did however let me back in free after I explained my friends were still in there.

I would recommend this place for food earlier in the evening when it's more of a restaurant but when it becomes more "clubby" you've got to be up for a loud night in a drunken atmosphere.

Went here with a friend for lunch. Great environment, very relaxing and the staff are very friendly. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced, plus they also offer a 2 for 1 deal during lunch. Definately should check out if you're in the soho area!
