I walked past this bar and initially I thought it was some pretencious resturant but I couldn't see any table waiting staff but there were a fair load of people inside, so I went in to have a look. Very nice a spacious at the front, it opened out into quite a nice space, with funky semi-circle sofas, it was kinda swish. I met up with my buddies and we decided to have a few in Mash. To be honest service was pretty slow which wasn't helped by a large large group of people hogging the bar area, so you had to fight to get to the front and get served, but I put that down to London arrogance, and that's coming from relocated Londoner. One thing that I thought was wicked was that at the far end of the bar they had a glass wall and behind that was what can only be discribed a brewing area. It looked different and kinda added character to the place. First round that was bought was a JD and Diet Coke and a Pint of house Lager.... cost £9.10... so you weren't gonna be getting drunk, but that said, I haven't been out in London for years and my guess is, that price is par of the course, maybe I should stop going to JD Weatherspoon Pubs.... I would say this a great place to start your evening as they do have a restaurant and the food prices looked reasonable. I did notice from the corner of my eye they had a rather nice DJ set, I'd love to use the equipment they had set up. Out of 10, I'd give this place, bearing in mind I never ate or stayed for the DJ, 7 out of 10. Marked down due to drinks prices and some of the seats weren't ideal for us larger set people. It's a beautiful bar for beautiful people.

Went to Mash Bar last Saturday and although I didn't stay very long the music rocked! Loved the combo of hip-hop, R&B and retro that was played. The talent wasn't so bad either:) Would recomend it for sure. In fact I have, and plan to head there this weekend. It would be better though if there was an actual dancefloor and a few less seats!

I loooove Mash. True it may be a little run down, however, I think the food is great, the cocktails are amazing and the music. especially later on, is perfect. I just got introduced to Mash last week and I've already been back three times!

The staff at Mash are really friendly. It was dead when I was there, but maybe that is down to the fact that everyone has had their share of drink and are now too busy with the sales. Mash did look a bit like a flash coffee shop or a posh fast food joint.


I would like to check it out again when it's a bit busier. Also, I loved the seventies photos with the weird jealous onlookers whose faces have been painted on top of the picture.

I celebrated my birthday at Mash last week and had a brilliant time. I brought down all my work colleagues and close mates to party with me. The DJ played a variety of music and kept my people dancing. The drinks were a bit expensive but that’s West End for you.


The crowd was cool due to fact I got with some hot honeys who were up for a big party. Shout out for Julian! All together Mash on a Friday smacked it and I am hoping to party there for New Years Eve.

Mash was the perfect end to an evening of celebrating for a friend’s up coming wedding. The food was delicious and plentiful – and I have a big appetite. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly.


It was a mixed age group ranging from 28 – 65, and we all had a good time. The only criticism about Mash was that music was a little too loud, but it was a Saturday night…

I happened across Mash on Saturday night having left SIN and its crappy RnB and pissed people after about an hour. There was a small queue and £5.00 entry at about 12.30am and despite the bouncers having a bit of a barney with someone outside and turning people away for being male, we got in.



Mash is quite a small venue but well decorated, clientele were the type who went to the pub straight after work and then ended up in here, so older and therefore more relaxed. Music was belting out some great house tunes and the atmosphere was one of drunken revelry, which was great to either people-watch or join in.



I wouldn't make a special night out of it but if you're stuck for somewhere in the West End that doesn't cost the earth, it’s open 'til 2am, is not full of too many young people and has decent music.
