Les Trois Garcons
LoungeLover reviews
Truly unique place, lovely staff and the best cocktails and food. Will be bringing loads of friends along now that I have discovered it.
by Tyson (3 reviews), 20 Mar 2008Probably the most decadent place in London, yet the staff are adorable. I am always blown away when I enter the room. Still magical and always improving their amazing cocktail list.
by Tatianna A, 01 Feb 2008Amazing! Never disappointed whenever I am here. Great innovative cocktails and very tasty Japanese tapas. The staff always have a smile for you even though encountered with trying situations. Try it for yourself and see what I mean.
by Allan Haige (2 reviews), 20 Jan 2008After reading so many poor reviews, I was a little apprehensive about going to LoungeLover, but it was one of the best nights out I've ever had. Amazing decor, charming staff, good food and great cocktails. I'd go back any time!
by SophieH, 24 Nov 2007We were rather disappointed when we went last Sunday. Sad to see such a previously stylish and glamorous place going downhill. Extremely pushy staff, bar staff not serving customers, drunk customers allowed to dance in front of other, seated, customers... What an embarrassing night it was!
by jolie, 09 Oct 2007I had a fantastic time at LoungeLover last night. I'm not quite sure why some people thought the staff were rude. We had fantastic service and the drinks and food were exceptional. It is pricey but it's still great value when you consider your surroundings. I will definitely be back soon - just have to make sure it's with someone really special!
by Cameron Dixon, 07 Apr 2007I was sceptical about this place. I'm not into the uber-trendy scene, particularly when it comes with a big dose of East London chic. However, I would thoroughly recommend this place if you fancy a bit of decadence and glam.
It is on the pretentious side, but it doesn't pretend not to be. It was nice just for once to avoid the crush at the bar, and I must admit the cocktails were pretty exceptional.
Great for a birthday gathering, although it is expensive (cocktails, once you factor in the service charge, weighing in at £10 minimum) and you do need to reserve areas (despite the fact that it never felt overcrowded).
Looks like a particularly over-enthusiastic eBayer has gone on a drunken vintage binge, then added some flaming torches outside the front door for that classy edge.
Very efficient staff bringing a succession of drinks that, while always imaginative, could do with a bit less craziness and rather more control. Mark Thyme has whisky, tarragon and thyme liqueurs - not that you'd notice. Still, nice idea.
Above everything, Loungelover is fantastic for playing Spot The Media Twat. Go on - do it next time. The bloke in the white hat is quite clearly a short film director.
Bar staff were extremely rude with an inflated sense of self-importance, and I found the bar to be no different from many others.
by Anonymous, 05 Jul 2006Great atmosphere even in the beginning of the evening .I almost preferred to have the place to myself but that's me being selfish.
I must admit it was rather fun to see the place fill up with the most diverse and interesting clientele in London. It was amazing to see people of all ages and backgrounds mingle together. This is what London is truly about. Brilliant!
Fun and friendly, there should be more places like this in London. It's not contrived and pretentious. You are at ease the moment you enter the building. Great drinks that are fairly priced for the quality.
by Kerry Thompson (2 reviews), 12 Apr 2006Great cocktails and great interior! Very eclectic yet cosy and welcoming environment. Will definitely go back.
by Susanna, 13 Mar 2006A fantastic place with great staff and a wonderful ambience. I went there a while ago and this time round it still had the same charm and romance. It has a classic and cult status that many people have tried to recreate unsuccessfully.
by Anita Staub, 10 Mar 2006Apart from the location, quite nice. Not as nice as I expected but the staff are so friendly!
by Anonymous, 09 Mar 2006Brilliant bar, friendly staff, great cocktails, wonderful decor and a bar bill to break the bank! All's good when you're having fun!
by Anonymous, 12 Apr 2005An utterly fabulous place in a grim location. Just go there, it's the best bar in London.
by Anonymous, 22 Nov 2004Best looking bar in London - a welcome relief from some of the design-by-numbers West End bars and too-cool-for-school boutique hotel bars. Book a table as it's popular and can fill up early.
by wabbit (14 reviews), 08 Nov 2004Has to be seen to be believed - a mish-mash of unusual antiques and disparate styles of furnishing which somehow all works beautifully together. Great drinks and music, and ideal for pre-dinner cocktails before walking around the corner to eat at Les Trois Garcons, which is also fabulous!
by crimson "top london reviewer" (34 reviews), 24 Oct 2004Brilliant atmosphere with great cocktails. The decor is also second to none!
