I am going to be kind and suggest that if this bar gets its act together and the bar staff decide to serve people instead of posing arrogantly with shakers (I reckon on a busy Saturday night it was knocking out no more than 3 drinks every 5 minutes), then it may make it as a viable bar. Otherwise, if the management doesn't improve, I give it another 6 months before it goes to cocktail bar graveyard. How does it make money??
by Zach4, 09 Jul 2007Don't ever go to this bar if you want to have a good time. The bar staff are really rude and so up themselves it's unbelievable. Such a shame, as the decor is really nice.
by Janice80, 22 Feb 2007Love this place! I had my birthday here and it was such a hit my best friend decided to have her birthday here too. Dinner was great, bar downstairs was even better. There definitely needs to be more bar staff on though - I waited 20 mins to get cocktails (which were worth the wait!).
by Pippy (2 reviews), 16 Nov 2006Fantastic, been craving great cocktails after work, Dollar fitted the bill perfectly. Great staff, great drinks and a really nice vibe, plus the burgers are seriously tasty.
by Craig, 30 Aug 2006Desperately awful. Hideously expensive, and a little shabby downstairs. The barman was very full of himself with little to back up his overconfidence.
Despite being practically empty, our drinks took nearly a full calendar month to arrive. And were so-so when they did. The finger food downstairs was actually pretty good, but it should be at that price.
Inexplicably popular with preening prats, who believe if somewhere is 'cool' it must be good. It's not and it isn't.
Went here for lunch and, although it was a bit slow, the food was fab and worth the wait. Most of us had burgers (which are huge) and our bill was reasonable (about £20 per head). Will be going back soon.
by none, 19 Jan 2006I'm not sure some of the reviewers have been to the same place as me... Upstairs food is good "diner style" - it's not supposed to be a haute cuisine experience - and downstairs is a lovely bar which serves great cocktails. The staff are all really pleasant and friendly too... and I think £8 a drink is reasonable. If you want a cheap drink, go to a nasty chain pub.
by LondonBlonde, 15 Sep 2005I ate here with friends last night and had one of the most delicious burgers ever, after enjoying some delicious foie gras to boot. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was relaxed and opulent. I'd recommend the bar downstairs if you want good cocktails served by cute boys!
by Anonymous, 25 Jul 2005I wish I read the reviews before going to this bar as it was a terrible experience. There was no air conditioning so it was as hot as a sauna. The drinks were incredibly expensive. We had 9 drinks and out bill was £80.
by Anonymous, 01 Jun 2005The food at this place is absolutely horrible, and the martini bar downstairs is utterly crap - full of 35 + chavs.
by Anonymous, 03 Dec 2004It's comfortable enough, but it's one of those bars that thinks it's a club and plays music VERY LOUDLY in the evening so you can't hear your friends talk. You can't dance upstairs either, so you'll be left grinning and nodding in half-understood conversations while drinking somewhat expensive lager.
