Stop off on the way home, Friday night drinks, had a couple of cocktails, great bar staff, and great range of cocktails. Usually decorations, sky ceiling, cock on 3:30 (School finishes) much enjoyed! Far better than drinking holes around London Bridge!

What a shit hole! I thought my local was shit (Greyhound, Oval) No draught beer or lager, just bottled, leaving you wondering whether you've just gulped on some rats piss from drinking from a bottle, no glass was offered. Cheaply decorated, most looks like its come out from a skip. Probably alright for kids on the pull on a weekend though. And for a local shit hole during happy hour, £3.50 for a small glass of wine is having a laugh!

Had my Birthday party @ the Old school yard last Friday and had a fab time , best party ever, bar staff are friendly , fun and sexy , bouncer is great as well , the music is awesome and so are the cocktails.
Never been to the place before and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Easygoing place with no attitudes.

Had my birthday here in January in the downstairs bar, (what an amazing place),
The staff where really friendly and catered to my parties needs without hesitation.
The music was top notch and other people friendly.
All I can say try the place you won't be disappointed.


Thanks all at the old school yard

Well i would just like to say thank you to the Old School Yard for making my birthday such a blast! I needed to find a bar in London Bridge before heading off to a club and after reading these past reviews i thought I'd give this place a go...and i'm so glad i did!
I loved it! The atmosphere was buzzing and everyone was just so happy :) Thanks to the bouncer, Alex too - safe guy! Oh and i must mention the ever so cool bar staff and their cocktail making - your cosmopolitans were amazing!!
So thanks, i'm sure you'll see me in there again x)

From a Woman's Point of View...This bar has it all,

As a picky woman, I like my local to fit my tastes. Nice people, good atmosphere, Bar keeps that remember your name, and good music (which is not too loud - so you can speak to the person next to you without screaming).

I wasn't expecting much when I first arrived but was clearly set at ease by the super friendly staff and the relaxed clientele.

A game of connect four, a giggle and some crazy cocktails later and I was in love! The drinks are awesome and delivered to you with flair and skill.

There is a hot barman to suit most any woman's eye candy taste, each one very sexy in his own way. (a serious bonus point in my book).

If you are into the funny awkward guy... get Ollie to mix your drink with his famous "sex shake". If you like a bit of muscle and a pretty face then get Pete and his wicked Mojito!

For those of you whom like the ever so charming boy next door then you need to get a shot of the Miester from Eddie!

You can always get away with some harmless flirting, but go easy on them... you don't want them to spill your luscious drinks!There are many more handsome men to oggle over behind and in front of the bar, and no end to the many ways you can have a good time at the Old School Yard.

With Wii, TMNT video games, board games and much more... you can just actually feel good about just hanging around.My final word...Bring your best game face girls, it's play time at the Old School Yard!

go on hols anywhere in the world and my wife is having to make her own cocktails but in our own backyard is a bar with friendly staff, and great cocktails with half the fun is chatting with them as the cocktails are made, and when the owner is having his birthday you bet the fun factor is off the scales as it was last night, my wife thanks you Darren for the outstanding giant especially dry Martini's! Cheers!

I had my birthday party at this bar and I loved every minute. I was slightly hesitant from reading the previous review but decided to go ahead anyway.

The staff, the service and drinks were equally spot on......And no they did not run out of cold beer!

The cocktails were amazing! The bartenders are very thorough when preparing cocktails and therefore some patients is required... service is however entertaining to say the least...

I say no more, you will have to see for yourself :)
