Cheating! We went to this pub on Friday, like we use to do, to have some happy hours drinks. They (the Verve) sometimes change those happy hours, so some time ago it was until 19:00, then 20:00. This time we saw an ad saying that its from 4 untill 10pm. Fair enough... "we don't have to rush with drinking" we thought. About 8pm I went for two pints and saw two girls having problems with paying for drinks. They wanted two pay some 5 pounds, as a half price for two drinks but the guy said that... and that's the most interesting part... happy hours are until 19 and then you have to have some kind of a voucher (SIC!!!!!!!!). So then I interrupted and said, come on boss, you are cheating! You say HH are from 4 until 10pm. Then he answered that he was talking with girls not with me and that I shouldn't interrupt. Generally speaking it's a lie what they say... it's something that shouldn't happen. Misleading clients. Of course it works like that: drinking hh drinks... and then you are tipsy enough to order drinks anyway... and they are expensive: 5:30 for a pint!!! I used to like this bar... but now.. well... I would only go there with a bunch of vouchers which then I would give to anyone "in need"! :P

I went to Verve on Friday night for my leaving do with my work friends. All drinks were half price which was great and the table was only £25 which was refundable as a bar tab. The staff were very polite and friendly we were greeted by a lady called Jo who was always there to help. The bar had such a nice buzzy atmosphere and we had such a nice time. I would recommend Verve to anyone looking to go out for a laugh!

On Friday evening I went to Verve for my hen do. I called the number and spoke with a member of the sales team. They took the time to find out exactly what I wanted. They were really polite and I felt like I had known them for years.
Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the door staff who asked if I had a booking and when I said yes, they then escorted me to the area that had been reserved for me.
I went for one of the hen packages and it was delivered perfectly!! I had the BEST time ever and my friends thoroughly enjoyed it aswell.
I have since become a regular booker and never get bored of the place.

i Went to verve for the first time on saturday night, i had been past it a few times but never stopped in.
my friend had reserved us a table so we didnt have to pay or queue to get in we also got a few cocktails complimentary of the bar , not bad considering the booking didnt cost us anything. The dj's played some good music, there was a good atmosphere,and the bar was really busy but i didnt wait long for a drink.
after reading some of the older reviews i would have to say that a lot has changed at Verve Bar since 2009 because me and my friends had a great time, we will be going back

I went there on a Saturday night on a friend's goodbye party. We were able to get in for free because she had already been there and knew the staff because otherwise I wouldn't have had fun.
It seemed like a typical West End venue full of star/VIP wannabes thinking they're good just because they can pull some break dance moves on an already crowded dance floor. And the sad thing is, girls actually go for them!
Apart from that, it had the most disgusting floor I've ever seen with broken glass and remains of sticky Sambuca shots everywhere. The staff was professional enough, though a bit slow and the music ranged from Mr. Jackson himself to classics like Whitney's earlier tunes.
I wouldn't go back unless on a special occasion with friends and nothing else is available, although the long drinks menu did impress me.

Worst place I've ever been to.. still trying to forget that ruined Saturday night, the sticky mud soaked dance floor, the body odour lingering above it and the rudest security staff ever. Queue forever to get in, queue forever to the cloakroom, queue to get a drink, queue to get back to the dancefloor to join your mates with your drink, and then shoot yourself for going to such a sh*t place...

I went to verve for a meal with my girlfriend.

I ask if i could have 'your best vegetarian option' as me and my girlfriend are vegetarians.

The waitress understood what i meant and when our food came up i was staring at some sort of burger that contained meat

i complain to the waitress polite so it didnt cause a scene to the rest of the bar and she simply shrugged her shoulders and said its not as if your a proper vegetarian!!

at this point i had the right hump and we storm off and ended up in a subway.

Verve ruined our plans and i'd prefer to bath in my own excrement than go back there
