I go to Nordic all of the time and when I read other people's reviews it staggers me. From the first time I went there I had a great time and all the people I went with did too. They always go there with other people and they all love it. The drinks are lovely, the staff are great and it's just a great time. I think it angers me when people say the man on the door needs customer service lessons as I know for a fact that they never have door man. So who was this person talking to? I love Nordic its a really good place. Thanks. Sorry about the little moan.
What a breath of fresh air to find a bar with a bit of character - in its drinks, decor and staff. I have been to Nordic a couple of times recently and its a very cool joint. A big hand to Nordic
Tried to stop by Nordic on a Saturday night, based on the good reviews. It was closed. Yes, the entire bar, not just one room, was just randomly closed on a Saturday night, so it's very hard to recommend this place. It actually didn't look much anyway. I'd avoid wasting any time heading in Nordics direction as they're obviously not very good at observing normal open hours.
The only good thing about Nordic are the friendly bar staff and some of the cocktails. The venue is cramped, dingy and looking rundown. Nordic is a place to meet people for a drink, particularly on half price nights, before moving on to better places in London.
Friendly and welcoming? That's not the side to Nordic we saw, it was more like rude and pretentious. The man at the door could do with some customer service training as his attitude towards our group was not nice.
Furthermore for all the hassle we had to get in you would expect something much bigger and better in side at Nordic. I don't mind paying £7.00 per cocktail if they are decent but I've had much better. Save your time and money.
I go to Nordic as often as I can. It seems to have got the balance right between a relaxed venue at lunchtime with fantastic food and a cool atmospheric joint in the evening with very sexy, friendly staff and great drinks.
The best thing about Nordic is that neither staff or customers are up their own backside. Touches of humour everywhere in the bar make it a great place to hang out anytime.
Nordic is one of London's only genuine Scandinavian bars serving - as you might have guesses - Scandinavian drinks ranging from beers (sadly, Red Eric is no longer on tap) and cocktails to vodkas and shooters.
The drinks - cocktails - are beautifully made and are gorgeous, as well as being relatively cheap if you benchmark a well-prepared cocktail around the £10.00 mark as Nordic's are around £7.00. The bar-staff are gregarious, engaging, friendly and captivating, whilst some of the Scandinavian females are jaw droppingly gorgeous.
The only low point about Nordic - besides the extremely narrow bar - is the crowd. As another user mentioned, the crowd is extremely mainstream and typically London i.e. tries to remove one from their hematically (and stifling) sealed world. Like, who cares about such non-entities!? If you do plan to visit (and by all means do) avoid Friday night (c.f. plastic posers) and stick to either Saturday nights or mid-week.
The crowd is much better around the corner at The Social.
Nordic bar is a very cool place to hang out. Myself and lots of my friends and clients use the bar to either have a relaxing glass of wine early in the week or go crazy as the week goes on.
Cocktails at Nordic are cool, drinks are fun, bar staff are the friendliest in London, the food is very tasty and the music is bang on. Not everybody's cup of tea like me and my friends.
If you love it, you will really love it. Always a good time.
