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!

You need to go and spend time here and drink as many pornstar cocktails are you possibly can - it's amazing!

Awesome Bar, Awesome Service, Awesome Cocktails!
Loads of fun under one roof...From dancing on the bar, bbq's sizzling in the garden to competitive Nintendo Wii action!

Definitely a place worth visiting if you're ever south of the river! Looking forward to the upcoming Halloween Party, should be a cracker!!

The Old School Yard is a fantastic place for a night out or a quick one after work. They have a great range of cocktails at very reasonable prices and are made with such flair that you can't help but want to order another! Darren and Slash are awesome hosts who make sure that you always feel welcome and part of the crowd. This bar is a must visit for anyone who hasn't been already!

My wife and I discovered The Old School Yard in June 2008. From then until the day we left the UK, it was our favourite bar in London.The venue has an incongruous decor, with many of the original features of the pub it replaced still intact. This is mixed with some great paraphernalia and original artwork to set the mood for the 'playtime' in store for the customers. There is a large horseshoe-shaped wooden bar, a comfy lounge/games area, a private outdoor area with a couple of large picnic tables and new features being added all the time.The staff deserve a special mention because they really make the place great. It's rare to find such a warm welcome and once they know your name, they never forget it.When you place your order from the amazing menu (hand-drawn artwork with each section a different school lesson theme) you can watch in awe as your drink is prepared with flair bartending of the highest calibre. The drinks are among the best mixed, finest quality cocktails I've tasted, even compared with bars charging two or three times as much per drink. The ingredients are always fresh and some drinks even change a little depending on the market availability, but it all adds to the experience... especially if you become a regular, which is pretty likely. If you're lucky, you might get asked to sample the latest concoction as the bartenders experiment in front of you.I personally learned how to appreciate good liquor thanks to the expert knowledge of the guys who run the place. I also developed a healthy appreciation for Jagermeister, which punctuates the main drinks at regular intervals.We're now based in Tokyo, so we don't get to go as often as we'd like any more (!) but we have extremely fond memories of some unforgettable evenings with the friendliest bar in SE1, London and beyond.

LOVE this bar!! So much fun - I'm so going to have my party here!xx
