Terrible food. A little tin of luke warm chips, and their vegan cauliflower bites snack which is £9 was just a tiny little saucer of cauliflower crumbs, they didn't even taste nice and they were tepid. I thought maybe they'd made a mistake and carried across somebody else's old plate - What kind of a place thinks it's okay to serve this? We paid £40 for one drink each and two pieces of absolute rubbish, we felt so foolish. But on a human level - people working in hospitality should take some pride in what they do, especially at this price. This place exists to rip off an after-work crowd, and not a cool one at that. We found a pub very nearby called The Magpie which was a lot better - go there - proper portions, hot food, reasonable prices and a better vibe. This place is tired mass produced "luxury", but has no character, I were fooled I think by the location which has the potential to be nice.

A fantastic London pub with an impressive collection of pop star portraits adorning the walls. The beer is good, the dukebox is on fire and there's often a lovely chatty crowd. The staff are great. My only complaint would be that their bar manager Nelson isn't single - sends a dagger through my heart everytime. But other than that an excellent establishment - and a must see for any tourists especially LGBT visitors. Afterwards you can scoot along to nearby clubs like HEAVEN or Circa (maybe not Circa) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
