I agree with below its a great wee venue to enjoy a bday or small event, west end without being a "super"club and not pretentious at all. They have got in some lookers behind the bar recently and the Specials liven up the standard lunch menu.

The vibe is usually friendly in here. I do always come here wen not sure wat else to do in central london.Celebrated my birthday on saturday and got a really nice cake, after asking for any birthday offers they provide- was a really nice cake and by booking a table got some table service which was nice for the first hour then back to queueing with the plebs :)
its funny that they ask for a £25 booking fee with the offer of complementary platters- ummmm no this means i paid £25 for the platters. on the plus side there is lots of food on the platter and it tasted good.
Bouncers are nice, free til 11pm, music is rnb, pop, charts so pretty inoffensive. easy to get home to anywhere in london. wats not to like?

This place has a fairly decent decor and competitively priced food and drink.

However one time I took a bike in (with the bar staff's permission) after the london freewheel cycling event and sat down for food and a few drinks.

Not long afterwards the manager of the bar (called Jason) came up to me and said rudely "This is not the sort of place to have a bike" while I was still in the middle of having food. After explaining to him I had permission from the bar staff, and there was nowhere suitable outside to park it, he said "I don't care, I am the manager of this place".

I had never faced such an appalling atttitude from a member of staff before.

The Warwick is a souless place with awful customer service. We went there for a work Christmas party and the food was the usual greasy fare, but that's what you'd expect. What you don't expect is for the waiter to drop a bowl of mayonnaise in your lap and then just wander off. We had to go to the bar to be grudgingly given a manky sponge to wipe up the worst of it.


The manager refused to accept responsibility until we could actually identify the waiter concerned. It took over an hour to get an apology - what kind of customer service is that? We weren't even offered a drink by way of compensation, just the promise that if I took the receipt for my laundry bill in they'd refund it. I have heard similar complaints from other parties too about The Warwick, such as over booking, poor service etc. Don't go to The Warwick.

My office is right across the road from The Warwick. We used to ignore it until it had a refurb about 6 weeks ago. Since then we eat there about 4 times a week and it's great!



The Warwick menu is very well priced and the food is pretty good. Above average for what you pay but not gourmet. Drinks are also well priced. There is also table service and the staff are really friendly.



You can reserve tables. Highly recommend The Warwick for a weekday lunch or drink after work. We went there for someone’s birthday and they reserved us a space and gave us a free glass of champagne per person plus put on free platters of food.

With a stylish interior and relaxed atmosphere, The Warwick is one of my favourite places at the moment. It has got two floors with separate DJ deck setups and is a really cool place to chill out. What's more, The Warwick is open till 3am giving you more than enough time to get your musical fix!

We found the Warwick by chance after a Saturday afternoon tramping around the shops. We fancied a quick drink before heading back home but once inside we ended staying for over 2 hours!

The main reason we stayed was the excellent happy hour running from 5-7 during which time all food was half price and most of the drinks had similar reductions. We had an excellent bottle of white and two decent meals for just over £11. Then a couple of properly prepared cocktails (not from gruesome premixed buckets) which rounded the evening off nicely. By this time both bars were getting very busy and the floor manager did a great job as one group got larger and larger, forcing her to re-seat them away from the main doors.

The interior of the pub appeared to have been designed by at least 3 very different people, but as Anne said above, who cares? Maybe during bright sunny days I'd spend more time gawping at the decor, but for cold bleak Saturday afternoon/evenings it was just the thing.

Have you ever been in situation where you and your friends decided to have a night out in the central London and probably got on the guest list into some trendy club, but the bouncers on the door decided that you are not smart enough or your group is too large, or perhaps there are too many men in your group, and as a result you have ended up outside the door completely disappointed?

The Warwick bar experience is completely opposite! Anybody can go and although there is nothing special about the building itself it is a friendly and lively place and, lets face it, people who are there are much nicer and more down to earth, these are the people who are looking to have a night out with their friends rather than posing and trying to be cool.

I always thought that it is not the walls or interior that makes the place, it is the atmosphere and the people who are there.
If I had to summarise: very friendly and happy place. Go and have a good time instead of standing in the queue and wondering if you are going to be let in or not!
