Interesting posts below (Paul)...I've never had anything but a fabulous time at The Hide and the staff have always been very accommodating. There is no doubting their knowledge and skill and the friends that I have introduced to the bar have also enjoyed the service and the drinks and returned again and again. One of my favourite bars in London

Booked this bar for a party. Agreed food and numbers, completed all their paperwork and they took my full credit card details. Then they stopped responding to calls and emails. At the last minute we had to find another bar.

Went there on saturday and like other reviews say, the service is so slow it ruins a good night out. I waited for ages to be served while the bar staff ponced about with cocktail shaking. Waste of time

Positives: A quirky, cosy and inviting bar with a varied range of drinks on offer.

Negatives: Unfortunately, all this goes to pot when the service is so achingly slow that your good mood ebbs away as you wait for an eternity to be served as I did on Saturday (even then the bartender managed to get a simple order wrong twice!) As with earlier comments, not convinced the staff really know what they have behind the bar.

The Hide falls into the trap that so many London bars do - trying to do too much. If you want to be a pub, be a pub. If you want to be a cocktail/wine bar, be a cocktail/wine bar. Don't put 200 different ales/lagers/spirits/wines etc behind a tiny bar, employ 2 staff on to serve on a Saturday night and expect them to be able to keep customers happy as they are stood waiting for the staff to churn out orders each of which takes an age to prepare. It's not the staff at fault, it's the management. Either do less with the same staff, or do it all with more people, but don't try and do more with less!

Boring, self absorbed mediocre bartenders. Tired and bland decor. Poor service. Good selection of spirits but the staff don't know them.

I had a drink with my mate a few weeks ago! there is a large list of drinks and if you look for the unexpectable this is the right place to go!The bar tenders looks really pro and know what they are talking about!Superb decors, friendly staff, great food with some brazilian influence recommended by a talented waitress!Age crowed 25/30Well definitly a place to recommend.

A fantastic bar with a gorgeous interior and brilliant service.
We came here for a more sophisticated hen party and it was a huge success. The staff really knew what they were talking about and tailored the evening to our needs - including a fully vegan buffet!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail class and loved the vintage record player.
I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone who appreciates their drinks and a relaxing atmosphere.

My wife threw her birthday party at The Hide Bar and it was a huge success.



What appealed to us was the stylish and comfortable decor of the bar and the no smoking policy (which was great to see).



The staff were friendly and courteous and catered to our every need. These guys clearly also know a thing or two about drinks! I would definitely recommend The Hide Bar to anyone looking for a stylish, cool, hassle free bar in which to enjoy a drink or two with friends or as a venue for a larger party.

The Hide Bar is such a stylish little place and if cocktails are your thang then I urge you to give this place a try! There's an excellent selection and the mixologists clearly know what they are doing - we were even able to order off the menu. Don't hide from the Hide Bar - it's a little gem for anyone in London Bridge.

Situated below the International Wine & Spirit Centre, you'd expect there to be some good drinks in The Hide Bar. It doesn't disappoint. I'm not too au fait with the cocktail side of things but if you like a drop of the grape juice then definitely give The Hide Bar a go as their cellar appears exceptional. Clearly a great deal of thought has gone into it and it pays dividens.
