What a great place to end your night, weekend before christmas myself and a group of friends had pub crawl round london and ended up in this bar it was a fantastic place to finish a great night off. The chap on the piano was brilliant and was playing all our request it was a great christmas atmosphere and felt so relaxed. I'm am gutted it will not be open for new years eve as would be a great place to celerbrate new years eve. Will defo be returning to this bar every time i'm in london.

Great place this. Went on a Saturday evening. The bar is kind of 'hotel bar' in style and it gradually got busier as the night wore on.

At 11.30pm a chap came in and spent the next 2 hours playing some popular tunes on the piano in the corner.

Before too long most of the people in the bar were singing along with him in fairly raucous fashion.

Not a bar for trendy self-obsessed posers, but a very entertaining evening that is a little 'different'.

Thoroughly recommended.Andy Jones.

Had a fantastic night saturday night here a few weeks ago, the pianist was fantastic (I think his name was Sean Paul).

the whole bar was singing along into the early hours, i paricularly remember Total Eclips of the Heart!.

I'm not sure what other nights are like but i can certainly recomend players if this guy is playing.

I've been here 5 or 6 times now... and not once has it disappointed. Always seem to have a live pianist playing the classics, and also taking requests. As with the above reviews, everyone is either up singing or dancing... quality place... no pretentiousness... just laid back good times!
