Right, let's clear something up straight away. This is not a pub. It's a cocktail bar and lively 'holiday' one at that. People come here to party, and, as with all of the other Be At One's the staff create a great environment for that. I love 'em, but only three or four times a year.

I think that the best way to describe this place is to compare it to being at a house party where you don�t know the host and you have to pay over the odds for your drinks.

The lack of any draught or ale had me turning on my heels and out of the door.

This used to be a fun bar for a cocktail. Unfortunately it's become a bit too popular now and so the good service and drinks that made it great have been replaced by passive-aggressive bar staff who'd rather dick around and laugh with their friends than be friendly or serve you. Avoid at all costs, unless you enjoy being insulted

Great cocktails, but the last time I was in there we had an awful time as the music was crazily loud and noone could hear the person next to them.

What is the point of that??

What a clique - a pub whose music ruins everything.

Go somewhere else.

Even though I usually stick to the beer, I loved getting involved in the happy hour cocktails in this place, none of which I'm glad to say tasted like diesel like some other so called 'cocktails' I've tried in my time. The range of cockails on offer was good as was the service (you get the feeling these guys actually enjoy putting on the show of making your drinks).

Can imagine this place would get pretty busy come Friday @ 5pm but well worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood.

Yummy cocktails!! Really good value during their happy hour, take your girlfriends and work your way through the cocktail menu - fab!

Worth the visit if you like cocktails, especially during happy hour. Bar staff good, know there stuff. You might think it's small, but have you been to the one in Richmond? It's like my living room.

The only reason, i imagine, why anyone would want to come here : is the exceptionally good value happy hour between 5 - 8pm. Excellent selection of cocktails (�4.50 - �5.90 for two cocktails !) , beautifully prepared and quick service. However, it is a small venue, people get pissed quickly and move on, and there was very loud aussie type rock playing, which made conversations difficult.

Very skilled staff with a nice antipodean feel. This is the scene of one of the greatest farewells in leaving London history (with the photos to prove it). Happy hour just makes the start of a great evening, top notch!
