I went there for the first time last night (Saturday) knowing nothing about the Big Chill Bar and had a fantastic night. Great atmosphere, everyone seemed very relaxed and just enjoying their drinks and the music. Only downside was glasses kept piling high on the side of tables and then someone would walk by and accidentally knock them off so there were several piles of smashed glass around (most of which we seemed to carry home stuck in the soles of our shoes). However, I don't know if this is a regular thing and it couldn't stop us from dancing- I still had an excellent night. Having only lived in London for a few months and trying to discover new places to go out to this one is worth a return visit.

Really bad customer service, staff are more bothered about chatting to each other then serving you a drink.

I booked an area here on a Saturday night. We arrived on time and there were people sitting at our table. The girl behind the bar was really helpful and went out of her way to go and tell them to move.

The night was amazing - totally relaxed and friendly. bar staff were brilliant. Even when the bar was packed they were quick and friendly.

Great music, great vibe - 5 stars!

Always enjoyed my visits to The Big Chill Bar, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. That was until today. I have spent hundreds of pounds over the time I have visted. Please bare with my tale. My phone was stolen this weekend so I lost all numbers including my families. I had a cheap phone to function on and at least had my fathers number. Whilist drinking my beer I recieved a call from a doctor to say my father had been taken to hospital, I quickly went inside and asked for a pen behind the bar, I was told no I said that it was very important could he please ask for me. Answer no. I have to say I was shocked considering my situation. Anyway I managed to get one from a customer outside and be able to take the vital information. After the call I thought I would have one more drink after the news. When I approached the bar I was told that I was abusive to the staff. When I asked to see the manager he said he was busy, and behind The Big Chill Bar man laid 3 pens on the counter! After that the bar man insulted my Military ties. I walked out for his safety and bit my lip. I am very disapointed with this treatment. Thanks Big Chill for helping a man in need and supporting your armed forces.

Love love love big chill.

best place to have a nice good social night out with friends or even great for meeting new people, everyone seems to be so chilled out.

only downside is it closes at 12 which is a disappointment.

I love Big Chill Bar. It's one of the best bars in London definitely.

You can have really relaxed time, especially when the sun is shinning and your sitting outside drinking beer and having a smoke :)

I was there last Sunday and it was amazing, there were two gays playing the guitar I guess they were recording a video or something.The atmosphere was just lovely.

The staff is really friendly and there are really cute bartenders :)

Overall If you want to have a fab time and not to stay too late Big Chill is definitely the place, although I'd prefer if they closed a little bit later.
