Dreadful place with rude staff and no atmosphere. The drinks were very expensive and not worth it, no wonder it was empty early doors. I asked for grapefruit juice and they didnt have any - on a Friday night you would think the bar would be well equipped!

I asked for grapefruit juice and they didnt have any - on a Friday night you would think the bar would be well equipped! The food was abismal e.g. we ordered warm flatbread and got cold half stale ciabatta bread... and all for £6. When complained the bar staff were rude. I would not even give it 1 star and I would not recommend it to anyone at all!close

Your staff were useless last night, it was raining we were asking if we could get in and the bouncer was waiting for the cashier to get in place and the lady running the door was clueless! Anyway there is way to get in here for free - if your smart you will figure it out ;)close

Seriously disappointing - do not use these guys for a private party. It's a beautiful venue and their drinks are pretty good, but they're not set up to do private parties, there's a lot of attitude with the crowd, the music's terrible, and it can take up to 25 minutes to get served at the bar.... more Seriously disappointing - do not use these guys for a private party.

The spacious, dimly lit industrial warehouse space is a bar/night club hybrid which affluent, attractive professionals fed up with queuing for clubs will love. Although there's no official dance floor you inevitably get people letting loose as the night hots up. Music sets the funky vibe and there's a DJ booth elevated over the bar in a 'God is a DJ' kind of way. The night we went (sampling 'Fool's Gold' and 'More-Phine' cocktails, both highly recommended) DJ Olli Collins - a Pacha and Ministry of Sound regular - was spinning some excellent tunes that had us wishing they'd already secured their 3am licence (currently it's open until 1am). For those who really want to impress there's the Champagne Bar upstairs serving high end and rare Tattinger fizz, bottles of which adorn the mesh walls as you ascend.close
