“Just to say Many Many thanks to all the bar staff and the owner of Bar Social, I had a great time, all my friends loved the place, very friendly, very good cocktails and reasonable prices, and thanks for the bottle of the Champagne. I'm very impressed with the decor of the place and also the atmosphere, see you soon!”

“Stylish venue does not make up for the rude behaviour of the bouncers and staff. Arrived for a b'day Fri night, totally looking forward to my night out, but found the bouncers to be abrasive and really patronising - asked the two girls in front of me, if i could speak to the lady with the guestlist. "Sure, go ahead" they said - the bouncer then proceeded to scold me and said "don't push in front, dont do that again" even pointing his finger at me! Would not recommend, first impressions count and not worth parting £10 for entry.”

“Awful. No celebs in sight, very expensive drinks and cheesy music. Nice view though.”

“OK - last night was my second visit and it hadn't improved any. I was there a few months ago and i felt it fairly dire.
My qualms - once the service charge is taken into account a £4.75 beer costs £5.30. There was only one choice of beer when i was there both times - there are two on the menu, but twice now they only had one kind. Starting at £4.75 a bottle you would belive it should at least be some kind of import - but nope, its made the exotic 25 mile drive from the heart of bedfordshire.
The place looks nice - i can't fault the decor - i would call it exuberant, but i like that sort of thing....... it's just that i can't help thinking the service charges, and over the top prices are still going on paying the interior decorators.
I was tempted by precisely 1 of the cocktails on the very large cocktail menu - and be warned few if any of the classics appear on the menu - but if you like all things passion fruit and fig liquor then the cocktail range is for you.
Admittedly”

“I come here all the time after work, and I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. If we manage to get there for Happy Hour we go nuts on cocktails and have to leave early, cos they pack a punch. If we get there later we order a couple of sharing platters and some beers and chill until the music gets louder.
Basically, everyone in the office loves this place, and one of the barmaids in particular...”

“I come here regularly and really like the atmosphere that it creates. Good fun party music and a very friendly clientele - a step up from some of the other Shepherd's Bush bars.”

“The bar truly is unspoilt and undiscovered. The barman, was remarkably welcoming, unusual when its just four guys in a swanky bar, he was up for a laugh. He also goes on a tad about the fresh juices and his cocktails. Nothing to complain about its refreshing to see someone who takes pride and enjoyment in what they do. The doorman was also not a fascist, he had a brief chat with us (I think to assess us) but realised we were ok and just up for a drink. Again unusual in London we never felt that the bar was doing us a favour.
The entrance to the bar is nondescript, it belies the what actually lies beneath. The lighting works as do the paintings and caves. This place is truly different they seem to want to address the obnoxious feeling that comes with swanky bars in this city.
Thus far so good well done guys, I hope that increasing success does not get to this bar. It has a great charm, its relaxing and upmarket at the same time. It would be great if other bars followed suit. Let”

“Great atmosphere and space! We were there last night. The only downside was having to put up with a very rude waitress... the one who doesn't like to do Mojitos! If you don't like to do them, don't work in a bar then!”

“I went to Vivo on Poland St, walking through Vivo to the lower ground floor for cocktails the vibe was uplifting and unpretentious. We sat in one of their really cool booths for dinner where i ordered Tapas which I would recommend to everyone, after our meal we went back down stairs where they had a Dj playing this was a perfect ending to a delightful date. Will take all my friends and work colleagues there.”

“Really disappointed with this place. I went with work mates on a Friday night. Some bar staff didn't know how to make drinks... I received a mojito that wasn't muddled or even shaken! Possibly the worst drinks we've ever had. Will not be returning, ever.”

“Went to Home with 16 of my friends for a birthday party & had the best time. Food was amazing, especially the venison. The service was so friendly creating a great vibe within the restaurant. After we went to the bar which was very busy with a night called Circuit, with big name DJ's playing there. It turned out to be one of my best nights in a long time”

“Good food/drinks, but badly let down by the service and the bar layout. Went to the Monkey on Saturday night and got seated right next to the door under a speaker, the music was so loud that none of us could hear one another. When we asked the staff to lower the music slightly we received a very definite "no". So we were literally forced to finish our food ASAP and leave the place. If you are looking for a bar to have a few drinks - the Monkey is definitely a good option (although there are plenty of alternatives in the area), but don't go there to dine...”

“Don't be distracted by the slightly run down exterior of this old boat, many upmarket, trendy restaurants and gastro pubs could learn a lot from the people that run this lovely little eaterie. The service is sparky and friendly, the young waitress covering all five tables couldn't have been more welcoming and was bright and attentive.She dealt with a large, slightly bawdy family group with genuine cheerfulness and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The food served by her Dad was top knotch, a superior beefsteak pie with crisp shortcrust on the bottom and suet crust on top was absolutely gorgeous. I've never had a pie this good. The roast pork stuffed with, proper old sage and onion with a little zing from lemon zest came with fantastic braised red cabbage and cruncy roasties. I was stuffed but my partner tried the apple and blackberry crumble and scoffed away whimpering with delight.
This is cooking as it should be, unpretentious, beautifully cooked and served with a sense of fun ”

“What a great find, this place is full of energy and lively people in a good mood - no stuffyiness here! The food was terrific, good ole English hearty food, but well presented and fresh! Great choice of wines as well.
The trip out there is really worth it.”

“I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to celebrate somewhere chic and swanky.
I had my birthday dinner with 5 friends and another 10 friends joined us afterwards in the club on Sat 12th April. It was my birthday on 13th and therefore we celebrated at midnight.
What an evening!! Matt the the manager was absolutely fantastic, the food is super quality (I am a qualified food inspector) and the service was great. Although the kitchen did get the timing a bit messed up, Matt and another girl (don't know her name) made up for it by making us feel so special during the rest of the evening.
Every time one of my guest arrived at the door, Matt would personally go to the door and fetch that person, what a star!!!
The music was good, funky with some R&B tunes, not too radical but still on a mainstream. The people were mixed age and styles, nothing rough, which is what I wanted.
Perfect place for a classy, unpretentious evening. Thank you Matt.”

“Great Nightclub set over 3 floors. The view is amazing overlooking Leicester Square, Parliament and the Wheel. The venue can also offer special offer's if its anyone's birthday. My friend's and i were treated to VIP treatment and our own waitress and it was a couple of their birthdays. Go and see for yourself.”
