Lively crowd, yes some drunken idiots, but where in london doesn't have their quota, plus the location is in the heart of the insurance district! An industry known for its drinking! most of all a fun night. A good mix of music for those who want a relaxed and fun evening and aren't obssessed with looking fabulously cool and trendy. A shame they don't have a dance floor.

If your idea of a good night out is being surrounded by drunken idiots (male and female) trying to dance to crappy 70s/80s music then this is the place for you.

Alternatively try The Abbey opposite, much better bar.

this place is a complete shit hole.
I went in on the tuesday afternoon to book a table for 10 to 15 people.

the barman helped me out and told me someone would call me to confirm the booking.Living in the uk for 10 years Ive learnt that when a company says they will call you back, they wont.

no one called, and when i phoned on the day of the booking to confirm everything was ok, a very rude lady on the phone told me i shouldnt book tables with the barmen becuase they dont know the schedule. Basically, she was telling me its my problem the booking stuffed up, not theirs.

with 15 people coming to my leaving drinks we had to still go to mary janes as it was too late to get a hold of everyone and change the venue.

the rest of the night was a stuff up, as the place was bedlam, getting a drink from the bar takes about 15 to 20 minutes and only pretty ladies get seved first.the drinks were over priced to and myself and everyone i work with vowed never to go back there.

complete shit hole.

Hmmm. Suits being flirty in the city, Ilovecocktails? Who'da thunk it!! I went to this venue for a party and thought it had a really clevel layout. The decor was really fascinating with lots of cheeky prints and nic-naks. The drinks were well-kept and there was an excellent range of top-end spirits. The staff were knowledgable and able to adapt mixes and suggest drinks. The food was tasty.
It is a (teensy, toned down and citified) bit sleazy and wild, but what would you expect of somewhere with a bit of a deliberate 'cheeky' character in the decor? What would you expect on a Friday night in office-land? A definite venue for 'character' in the samey world of city bars.

We went here for a girls night out expecting a really special place after seeing various reviews which had all given it 5 stars. Maybe its because we had high expectations, but we thought the bar was pretty average and definitely not the classiest of places! No matter what direction you look in, there'll be a sleazy man ready to wink at you.

On a positive note, the cocktails are delicious!

The name of this establishment is a little misleading. In actuality, Mary Jane's serves alcohol. And what fantastic alcaholic drinks they are! I stuck the yummy house specialty cocktail, which contains champagne, rose petal vodka, and watermelon. I also tasted my friend's Mint Chocolate Martini, which was tasty too. The plate of greasy meat simosas was the just the thing we needed to help absorb the copious amounts of alcahol we drank.
