Long Bar at Sanderson reviews



Once you get past the trash and fake people standing around the bar trying to death-stare you, it is a beautiful bar (with not so beautiful but very surgically enhanced people!) The outside is nice too, if you ignore everyone round you and pretend they are not there. A great place... would be ideal if it was empty.

Yes it's pretentious, but if you get a seat at the bar you feel sexy. Sad but true!

The Long Bar is full of people with loads of cash, some of these are the beautiful people and most are not. Drinks are very good as are the staff and the service offered. It's quite unashamed in its luxury and pretentiousness. If you don't like this kind of thing don't go. I think it's fun.

I had a good time when I came here for my Valentine's a couple of years ago, but most of the people there just pretend you don't exist until you push your way through the rude crowd round the bar with a wad of money to get a drink, then all of a sudden you're noticed!

On the whole it's a nice place if you ignore the stuck ups!

The main thing here (at least during the summer) is the wonderful courtyard. There are few places in London where one can sit outside and enjoy lush gardens, good cocktails and excellent bar snacks - it really is one of a kind.

There are outdoor heaters and many of the tables have large parasols, so even the notorious British weather needn't ruin a night out.

Get there early as the tables tend to get snapped up fairly quick. The burgers and the pasta with tomato marmelade also come highly recommended if you get peckish.

Usually very full, so get there early if you don't want to be crushed against the huge central bar, or better still reserve a table out in the open atrium. White room, with floaty white curtains at the windows and quirky bar stools with eyes painted on their backs. it's quite a posey place, and a bit up itself. But there's a different and more intimate atmosphere outside.

A few years back it was the place to be and be seen. These days it's still full of beautiful people but they just look that bit older. Not a bad place at all especially in the summer as they courtyard where you can sit, stand, chill etc. The drinks: about £10 for a G&T, those who find this a bit much should maybe buy themselves a bottle of the house white at about £25. When you are there make sure you check out the lift.
