I do have sympathy for people whom have been asked to leave ( Bouncer obviously doing his job) and for those people whom have been out for a quiet night with the girlfriend and violence occurs. Not too convinced its the fault of the bar I am sure the bouncers dealt with the situation. I do not however have any sympathy for narrow minded people who no matter where they are would find fault, I say you don't often get asked to leave for nothing and for that matter get punched in the face for nothing. So back to the bar, its a great little place to take your girlfriend and friends, its definitely a party pub and gets you in the right night club mode with all the frills. The bar staff are as good as they come and the same can be said for the door staff. Maybe I should also point out at this stage I am not related to the owner or have any relatives or friends working there. I have only used the bar on 7 or 8 occasions but would recommend the bar to anyone who is intent on having a good time, to those of you who are not, then its quite simple stay away while we all have a great time. Vendome rocks so does the club and bring on another.

Im not sure who the people writing these 'good' reviews are but my guess is they either work for the club or a friends of the club owners. I visited this god aweful place on saturday night to witness a violent, unfriendly, pretensions, sess pit for the most shady characters in London. Massively overpriced, full of rude, pathetic individuals and i'm hoping Vendome Bar and Lounge is very short living in its existence. I was on the end of a violent attack from what I can only describe as a head case on steroids. Not only that but he also decided to take his anger out on my girlfriend too - do steroids make you think its ok to hit women? Totally unprovoked attack and very scarry that people like this can be allowed in. The managemnt seem to let this go under the radar whcih begs the question - how has Vendome Bar and Lounge not been closed down yet? Avoid avoid avoid! If I could rate this as minus 10000 stars, it still wouldnt reflect how terrible Vendome Bar and Lounge is

I know what you mean! Odd crowd for the location. I asked what the story was with vendome at eclipse bar next door and was told that a manager left in oct or nov and it changed to a rougher crowd.

The place is nice, the doorman is a boor. After we have spent 40 pounds in drinks in 40 minutes he asked us to go out (without a reason not drunk, not disturbing ). While we were trying at least to finish what we paid he came back saying "do you need one fucking hour to drink your beer?". The manager should teach the manner to this guy above all with quite people like us. There are better places in the area with well-mannered people.

Not bad, a little hard to find but worth it. Not a fan of Sushi though, although drinks were great.

Recently popped in vendome bar and lounge and we were quite impressed with the collection of drinks and quality of the cocktails provided.

We had a fantastic evening and enjoyed some lovely trays of sushi!

Had a really good night on Friday!

Really good atmosphere, cool people and music, busy but not too packed.

Drinks were excellent, bar tenders can literally make anything you want.

This place was nicely decorated but the drinks are incredibly expensive (G&T for £8) and is a little too small to enjoy a nice big night out in. If you just take a small group of close friends and book a booth it's not too bad.

The staff was friendly and the food was great. Our friends couldn't get in because of the doormen. So we had to all leave due to that incident.

I wouldn't go back again as longest that door men still work then.

Its a bar not a night club so anyone, as long as they seem respectable are allowed in, the problem with a street with a few bars on it is they have to work together so if a customer has been "acting up" in one bar or seems "wasted" then all the bars will refuse entry, this is all under the strict guide lines laid out by the local authorities.Look at it this way why would a bar turn away business especially if there where customers already inside... well??????I've been to this bar and always found the door staff very friendly and helpful in fact they always smile even, which for door men is unusual.
