The ViewLondon Review
A bar in the heart of London that whisks you away to the Canadian Rockies, and provides a delicious cocktail or two for the journey.The VenueThe Moose Bar is located just off Oxford Street – the centre of shopping for London, if not the world. But you feel 100 miles away from the jostle of bargain shoppers in The Moose Bar. The bar is styled like a ski lodge complete with log cabin walls, cow print sofas and antler chandeliers. There is not a lot of floor space but it doesn’t get too crowded and people flow out onto the street in the summer for a chilled cocktail after work.
The AtmosphereThe Moose Bar feels very relaxed and has a great, feel-good atmosphere. Everyone is there to have fun and are friendly. People on dates, friends celebrating birthdays and people catching up from work can all be found kicking back. The bar staff are extremely friendly and mix up a delicious cocktail in record time. They’re happy to help and make sure you have a great time. It’s a good place to relax and you would never guess that 100 metres away people are elbowing each other out of the way in a sales rampage. Even fans of sales could be tempted away by the lure of this place.
The FoodServing up delicious bar snacks like wedges, fries and gourmet pizzas, this place is great for a snack to keep you going before a big meal. The portions are generous (good for table sharing between friends) and the service is quick, and the prices are a real bargain with bar snacks costing around £2.
The DrinkWith a lengthy and varied cocktail menu, it’s impressive that the bar staff put so much effort into every single cocktail. Unlike many similar bars, these guys really want the cocktails to be the best you’ve tasted and, thankfully, they don’t have to keep referring to menus for ingredients – other bars, take note: there’s a lot to be said for training your staff! The prices are very generous and at happy hour time (which is lengthy and at a perfect time) and the cocktails are a steal. They also serve more expensive but delicious champagne cocktails and are well stocked with mixers, bottles and wines.
The Last WordOxford Street is a whirl of noise and bustle, but if you’re lucky enough to find yourself near Duke Street, then The Moose Bar will soon have you on an R&R trip up in the mountains.
