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 :)

Having seen such glowing reviews of this bar, I decided to hold my birthday drinks there, and was extremely disappointed.

When we arrived, they had one type of beer, which promptly ran out at about 8 o'clock. The bar staff eventually brought in some bottles of Becks, which were warm.

If you drink anything other than cocktails, give this place a miss. One of my friends had to wait 20 minutes for their cocktail, because they had run out of pineapple juice. In a cocktail bar. At the start of the evening. On a Friday night.

The one good thing about the bar is the music -but that wasn't enough to raise my opinion of either the bar or it's staff. Was the manager on holiday?

An amazing bar!!! You'd feel like home playing WII, having a drink in a confortable couch or moving your butt on the dance floor. Cocktails are delicious and the staff is like old school friends!Thank you for that wonderful experience!A guest from France.

I love this bar. I wanted to try every cocktail on the menu, they are fantastic and the staff know their stuff. The service top quality and the staff are very friendly. I recommend this bar to all - it has a great atmosphere. Try the porn star martini - it is incredible.

This bar is brilliant. Tucked away off the beaten track it encompasses all that is great about hidden gems in the city. The staff are friendly, attentive and great entertainment. The intimate nature of your surroundings makes it easy to end up chatting to almost everyone in the bar so its a great place to meet people. The cocktails are world class and provide the perfect platform to launch yourself into the spirit of a very fun little place. The Old School Yard comes highly recommeded!
