The decor is pretty standard but ok, good location. Got to agree totally with other review re dreadful attitude of door staff. Weirdest most spaced out condescending door staff, and 2 bar staff serving a massive bar. They can’t even control this but then offer waitress service which make sit like a messy traffic jam with lotss of disgruntled customers managed to get one drink in 2 hours!

Would not recommend- seek much better bars in area, even if a few more mins walk away from the tube

I went for a colleagues birthday drinks. The night started poorly- it seems maybe 3 staff cover the entire bar. It was waitress service- good point- but a negative when after an average of half an hour wait per drink you then have to head to the bar yourself and queue to get served and finally get the drink you ordered ages ago!
Secondly- the worst attitude of door staff I’ve ever experienced in London, New York or anywhere for that matter!

Frumpy, badly spoken and understood English, patronising and weird doesn’t seen sum the three we encountered up. They insist on asking everyone their age and for ID, take ages to find their guest list and tick you off and look you up and down as if you are lying!

Outside with a friend for smoke breaks I over heard various customers get into heated conversation with the door staff over their attitude- and witness their slimy security guy get into an argument with one girl when she asked him not to grab her as she walked past him- for this she got marched out of the club, for asking their staff not to grope her! Could not believe our eyes.

This general 'attitude' here with the drink waiting time means we went once- and wont be going back. Ill be amazed if it survives.
