A great late night bar / club where a very talented house band blasts out awesome covers of every sort of music. Yes, there are drinks and maybe even snacks ( though I didn't see any) but the real fun is dancing along with such an eclectic mix of tunes.

Fun place with live

My wife was mugged for her phone outside by two fellas on a moped within one minute of coming out the venue. From all accounts it sounds like the bouncers were in on it. No smoke without fire after reading a lot of the reviews about security being rough and aggressive with customers in general. Just avoid.

Great live music venue! On the menu, I highly recommend the brownie, it tasted so good!

Celebrated my wife’s bday here, we had a blast. Wasn’t sure what was all about when I booked it, but the song request system made everything really fun. Service was good too.

Had a great night here last night for a colleague’s birthday. Security staff were friendly, music was great (especially early on with the solo piano guy and singing waiters) and Kian was fantastic- such a friendly, talented guy who really made our night with great service as soon as we arrived. Thank you Kian on behalf of Paul and us!Only minor issue was the constant clearing of our booth later during the night- we had to keep an eye on our drinks to make sure they weren’t cleared and the clearing staff weren’t particularly friendly- knocking/ pushing into us when passing. But minor compared to an overall great night.Recommend getting there early for half price drinks and the sliders were great.

The reason to go here is the musicians and the dancing. The absolutely, most fun place to go!!!

Wow. Fantastic idea really well executed. Great staff, superb prices especially during happy hour. I didn’t eat , but the food i saw being served looked excellent. All staff very friendly, looked happy, and some really good singers. Its like a live juke box. Love it. Highly recommended.

Fun place to enjoy the musical gimmick. Staff must be overworked underpaid because they are all passive-aggressive! The security at the front blanked us when trying to ask a question. Another member of staff at the queue was being rude, then one of the bar staff made two cocktails when I clearly asked for one and a beer, then aggressively poured the pint. Also, I'm not a fan of having the "no spray no lay" guy; I don't want to be pressured to pay a tip every time I wash my hands.

Absolutely awful and upsetting experience. Members of our group encountered blatent racism, including from the door staff. After the incident, I reported to the feedback team and requested staff body cam be reviewed (as their conduct will have been captured as evidence). I wanted to give the team the opportunity to correct any genuine mistakes before posting a review, but 3 months later, it has still not been resolved, we have had no apology and even accusations it was our group who were 'aggressive' even though there is coveniently no evidence of this on their body cams. I have still not been able to go in and review their cctv either. I'm still chasing a response. Looking at the many other similar review experiences, this is clearly a concerning pattern of behaviour. Please please be careful!

We booked a group area on Saturday night for 14 people. We were given 2 chairs and half a table pushed to the wall to stand around, it was an absolute shambles. In the small print it did mention that it was 1 chairs per 5 people, as it was standing area. Granted it was written in advance, but it has no logic sense. Why cram 14 people in an area which can only accommodate 2 people? Why ask for the number of people only to not cater for them?It soon became clear as we had more and more people come in, it was HEAVING. With no where to stand, no where to dance, it was unbearable. Think it’s worth knowing the above in advance as it really impacts the experience, and honestly it put a real dampener on a fun girls night.Other thing to note- the pianist plays requests(which is an obvious one!), but there must have been some miserable people there that night as we had to dance to some real slow ones all night. Not sure if piano works moderate (probably not as it’s all cash funded and we know they like the money) but at times it was very slowP.a have to agree with the sentiment below security we’re rough and the manager was exceptionally rude. There were some lovely waitresses though.Far better places to go in London, jf your looking for a good night.

What a horrible place. Not only is the music unbearably loud so you can't talk but also it is of really poor quality. This place is one big rip-off.
