Expensive . Dirty glasses . Moody staff

Not as busy as most other places at London Bridge on a sunny Friday evening, and we were able to get an table (albeit sticky).
Was pleased to find Doombar amongst the large selection of continental beers, so a point for that. However, didn't taste like Doombar which I know and love. In fact, it didn't taste of much at all.
Beer prices around average for the area, clientele all pretty dressed up, and suspect the comments about dubious toilet activities are because you can nip in the side door and down the stairs to the bogs without any fear of being collared for not buying a drink.
Much better pubs within a couple of minutes' walk.

If you work in an open plan office and find Dave from Accounts' jokes funny, you will love All Bar One at London Bridge.
As for the tramps collective attending to their rectal hygeine in the facilities, I saw no first hand evidence of this.
The beer was ok but the rest was monochrome.
The bar equivalent of M People.

I popped into here as I had a 20 minute wait for a train and I needed a tom tit. Trap one was acceptable, but trap two needed a new lock and I think that at some point a gang of tramps may have been washing their bottoms in the sinks.

Not really my sort of place, and only went there because the nearby Oast House inside London Bridge station had completely run out of all draught ales and lagers (and I didn't have the time to walk any further)! I won't bother to describe the place because it is just like any other All Bar One, but I was slightly surprised at the prices (which were generally in the �3.00 to �3.20 range which is pretty cheap for central London these days). No real ale, of course, but an impressive array of shiny fonts dispensing a wide range of fizzy liquids.

Nice bar! the only thing " sticky tables" aarrggh!!!
|
Wall to wall suits going for after work drinks. They even reserve tables for work do's. Avoid!
|
It's an all bar one, I was dragged here on a work do, I like a few after work, not in here though.
|
just another all bar one.
excellent service - 3 female bar staff were off crying somewhere, so well done to the 2 lads holding the fort for half an hour with loads of thirsty punters, great work.

If you genuinely like this place do yourself and the world a favour and kill yourself.
Seriously the world will be a better place without corporate hell holes like this and the sheeple that infest them.

i completely agree t.o.rawnsleys, but i think you may be thinking of the All Bar One at tower bridge, as London bridge isn't open on Sundays!

Great Bar, Great Evening
Its got the trendy feel, but totally relaxing. Struggled to get a seat, and on a Sunday Eve. Altho a nuisance, its an admirable atmosphere.
No problems with the service, friendly staff. A bowl of chips ordered came within about 10 mins. Guess you gotta get this place on a good night!
The range on tap was fair, and not your usual lager. Not alot of Ales. A return trip would be welcome!

I paid a visit to this All Bar 1 last night and what can I say? It's trendy, lacking in personality and full of those who go to the �lavatories" instead of the toilets. The music was awful too. I was there with good company, so my pleasant evening was assured from the off set, but this place just didn�t do it for me. However, at �2.65 for a pint of Carlsberg, I at least thought it was a little cheaper compared to other nearby pubs. I'll give it a 5.

It's an All Bar One. Still don't know what to expect? You haven't missed much. Still, the beers are ok (though most people stick to bottled lager in these sorts of places), the food on the acceptable side of average. So why would you go here if you found yourself in the area? Oh yes, that's right. You'd go if you were a complete tool with no imagination.

A good selection of continental lagers, and a wide selection of wines. Found the staff to be friendly and knowledgable. Great selection of 'tapas' which was well priced. We spent several hours there on a Saturday afternoon/evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definately go again.

Nice selection of foreign beers, such as Leffe and Edelweiss, which are also in good condition.
I've only visited it around lunchtime. It's a flashy light coloured bar rather than your dark traditional pub. The food menu seemed ok for a quick lunch, even offering this like hummous and other 'tapas' style dishes. Good location near the station but there's not a lot of atmosphere. For what it is it's pretty good.

great atmosphere, great staff, great music, great service, what more can i say except: GREAT BAR!!

Had this misfortune to visit this place last night. Quite possibly the slowest service I've ever encountered; just two very slow barmen serving a queue of about 20 people ! Gave up and went elsewhere...won't be going back !

well, having been on a lunch hour (which infact was a 2 hour lunch hour) we had our drinks delayed by 15 mins, our food was delayed as 20 mins after the order they decided to tell us that there wasn't eneough food to go around, then we were spoken to rudely by the waitress and when we complained we were litterally threatened in front of the manager by one of the staff.... definately a no go - crap!

good european beers and the wine was well priced - just been done up by the looks of it. Best place around the station by far.

Good selections of beer & wine and the best bar near the station by far. Shame about the view.

They served my Leffe Blonde half-pints (they wont serve whole pints of this beer) a few millimetres below the half pint line on my second round. The bar lady out-right refused a top-up, and stated it was a 'legal-requirement'. I am yet to get to the bottom of this, but I will say that other staff there fill my glass up properly without a moment of hesitation, and when paying a premium for a premium beer, it is bad PR to argue with customers after serving them beer clearly below the half pint mark.
