Sketch used to be super cool and really enjoyable, It was one of my favourite spot in central London. Went there on Friday evening with friends omg! So disappointing. The staff is so rude and at 15 pounds a cocktail, I am expecting a bit of service there, what happened to Sketch? Poor Pierre Gagnaire, shame you have this under your name as it doesn’t reflect what you are anymore. Will never go back and wouldn’t recommend. The décor is still very nice, that s all what s left……i give them one star for this!

Visited Sketch on a Saturday night. The venue has a lot of potential, interior is attractive and comfortable. The music and crowd pretty good, glad for that. Toilets are a bit tacky but still interesting. Drinks pricey which would have been okay if the proportions were right. Most of the staff were friendly

I would not recommend the bar to anybody. Drinks are so overpriced and no value for the money! I wasn't even tipsy after two double Jacks! Nonononono! The music was decent and the crowd was okay! But otherwise it wasn't the nightout I was looking for.

I have been there twice. Restaurant was great, very beautiful inside. Bar was amazing. I went there on Monday so there were no people, very quiet.. cocktails were awesome. Very nice place to go with friends..

The East Bar is a great place for a drink, quite intimate and fun atmosphere. The crowd is quite different every night.

Trying too hard to be cool, Sketch succeeds only in being completely uncool.

Most of the staff clearly mean well but just come across as weird and stressed out. Maybe they are.

Not so the two young chaps "working" in the tiny round cocktail bar!
More interested in chasing each other around, grabbing each others' bottoms and other "hilarious" behaviour, after necking a few shots they thought they were being clever by taking several different orders at a time only to mess them all up and forget some entirely.

Management take note: wasting your customers' time (especially when your prices are high but drinks quality not so) is terrible business.

Worst of all, however, the much discussed toilets: These white eggs, are (of course) thinly disguised portaloos.
Made of plastic, they don't flush properly, the doors don't lock and they stink.
Clearly this has excited a great many punters in the past, but if this sort of thing is your bag my advice would be to go to Glastonbury in the summer - you'll have more fun.

So disappointed! Sketch looks great from the inside. But actually it's not that great! Food has not a good value/quality. The mains are too small and more often cold. The drinks are ok, but not that exceptional. When you go in you have the feeling that you're welcomed by some call girls, which does not sound very professional for this kind of place! The managers don't seem to be concerned. They have a fake smile, that sounds awful! I don't know if the board forced them, but it could be better not to get a smile at all!
In the parlour for afternoon tea, the manager tried to sell us with his bad french accent (i couldn't get any words) cakes many times, that was really a pain for us! Leave us some space! thx!
In the gallery it's nearly the same problem.
I really not recommend this place! It's really over valued for the quality and the quantity we eat, and the managers are awful!

sketch is fantastic! one of the best bars in London. the decor is wonderful- will blow your mind.

the food and drinks are also amazing! although a tad pricy, it is well worth it. the staff are so nice and will do anything to help you.

quite often a celebrity or two kicking about but a definite must go when in London !!
