Wow,wow! Never been here before but ventured in with friends after we had a disasterous evening at beach blanket babylon. Its like night and day. Pleasant welcoming staff who knew what they were doing. The cocktails are amazing and so was the truly tasty japanese tapas and most of us were still hungry after the inedible food at BBB. The ambience was so warm and inviting unlike beach. Apparently Loungelover was here way before BBB and the open to cash in on the popularity of Loungelover. How disgusting is that.Anyway Loungelover has nothing to worry about as the locals and their new fans will support them.

If I could give this ridiculous place a negative number rating, I would. I spent 300 pounds to book this place for myself and about 20 of my friends for my birthday. I had booked a table with bottle service all night from 10:30pm until close.

Some of my friends had turned up at the bar around 11pm and were turned away, having been told that I no longer had a table and that my reservation had been cancelled. I was running late from dinner with my closer group of friends and showed up at 11:45pm and was told that I couldn't come in.

I have been to Loungelover a few times now and I have to say that while the decor is great, the service staff tends to be some of the most aggressive and rude that I have come across. The drinks menu is extensively varied (though pricey) and if you have the good sense to book seats at Loungelover you can enjoy the experience once you get past the incredibly rude hostesses.

While I would recommend checking it out, I have to say that you could probably find a more enjoyable experience in another venue in the East End.

I arrived at Loungelover at 6.30pm for a friends 30th. Great decor and atmosphere, with superb cocktails, but overall it was pricey. Stayed here with a large group all night and spent a fortune. However when the lights go up the staff descend in a throng and demand your glasses even if they are full! 5 members of staff and even a manager stood over us until we were done. They were so rude that none of our party will return to Loungelover. Shame really, as manners cost nothing, but losing out on business does.

Oh My God. Loungelover is a great venue with great decor - but the staff! These places need to realise that they just can't treat people like they do. As a resident of central London and frequent visitor to all the top restaurants, never have I come across a more rude phone manner than displayed by a certain person who answers the phone at Loungelover.



I was going to book a table for 10 for some friends in from LA, but they can go jump! A real shame.

Cannot imagine a nicer place to spend an evening than Loungelover. Everything was pure joy, right from the amazing staff and great bar food to the great cocktails. Thank you for making London such a fantastic city Loungelover.

Loungelover is possibly the most over-hyped venue in London with rude staff and pretentiousness rules here. The venue itself is stunning, I'll give it that, but the drinks are so average and the atmosphere so stuffy that I wouldn't walk across the street to go to Loungelover.

I live in Notting Hill and had been very reluctant to go all the way to Shoreditch, as the last time I ventured there I had a dreadful time in the bars in the area. Most of the bars then were kind of grungy and felt like a Students Union bar.

However, my friends promised me that I would not be disappointed with Loungelover and they were so right. From the minute we entered we were transported into another world, one that leaves your troubles behind and gives you a new prespective in life. There is so much glamour, wittiness and fun and it carries through to the staff from the front door to the wait staff. Well done Loungelover.
