please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This place shouldn't really be listed on here. There is no beer here. But if there was a cocktailintheevening website, it could be listed. As a bar, it's ok. Cocktails are all that is served and they're quite pricey. Although the Monday to Thursday happy hour buy one get one free offer makes it slightly better value. Not my normal kind of establishment. But I think I've already covered all of the decent pubs in this area and I was working nearby. Reasonably busy for a Wednesday evening, it's a dark and narrow single room with the bar at the rear. There are mirrors along the wall to make it bigger. As the previous reviewer suggest, the crowd is fairly young.

I genuinely don�t understand this conundrum. If you are actually of legal drinking age, why on earth would you want to spend time in this establishment?
Surely a bar specifically designed for underage drinkers is something of an oxymoron?

This is a fun and friendly cocktail centred bar. The bar staff are welcoming if a little over the top at times. It gets pretty packed after work and on weekend evenings so it can sometimes be a challenge getting somewhere to sit as it isn't huge. Also as has been mentioned beware if you're intending on having a quiet conversation, as that won't be happening here.

Great bar, always friendly staff, atmospheric, cracking place to go after work or into the night.

Nice and popular bar with friendly and efficient service. The cocktails are excellent and atmosphere great, but be prepared to shout to have a conversation later on at night if you haven't managed to get a seat nearer the front.

This is a nice place in the evenings. The atmosphere is good and you can have a decent conversation despite the music. Though it's I suppose primarily a cocktail bar, it's also a very good place to sit and have a conversation over whatever drink you may choose in the evening. There is seating at the front of the bar, away from the main area, as well as a small amount of seating in a raised section opposite the bar. Unsurprisingly, most of the customers tend to be people in their early to mid 20s, though in the early evenings it is also popular with people who've just finished work (I think they also have regular happy hours).

This is now known as "B@1" and is by far an away better than the Hit Bar was. Friendly service, a pleasant atmosphere and open until 1 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. There are also plenty of cocktails to choose from, as well as wine, spirits and bottled beers. I've enjoyed some great nights here after the pub!

Hammersmith doesn't do trendy bar (does Edward's count as trendy, I think not), so Hit's attempt so be welcomed. The bottled beer is, well bottled beer so its not really going to taste any different from anywhere else. The cocktails are adequate though not inspired. I've only used it on a week night, but I suspect it gets quite busy on a weekend.

We had our joint birthday bash at Hit Bar in Hammersmith on Saturday night and it was absolutely fantastic - the manager (Eddie) made sure everything went without a hitch, providing us with a fab DJ and generally making everyone feel welcome. All 100-odd guests had a really great night and left raving about the bar. I think it's a real shame the last review was so negative - there was obviously a misunderstanding as I've found the staff at Hit to be courteous, friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Nice staff, useless organisation. I and two mates booked a party here nearly two months in advance of the date that would have brought about 100 west londoners to this venue, most of whom had never been before.
They cancelled us 10 days before the event. The manager was over-ruled by somebody else who had made a tentative booking with a semi-regular club night who hadn't even bothered to make a formal booking.
Self-interest prevailed yet they offered us no other options or anything by way of incentive to move the booking. They wouldn't even let us use a space at one of their other venues.
We were left with a load of people invited to an event with no venue. As well as the locals some mates were travelling down from Scotland (it was a joint 30th for three schoolmates).
So go for a drink there, but book anything and you're taking a big, big risk...

Ok for a quick drink. Handy if you are going to the Palais or the Apollo. It is the only trendy (ish) pub in Hammersmith so beggers can't be choosers. Food is good although service is slow.

Don't eat or expect a late drink here.
Went here for my birthday. Cocktails I liked a lot but the night was a let down because we ordered food, which was basically fast food and gave up after 45 minutes. They were kind enough to refund us.
Tried again a month later because we like the drinks but this time the staff, who are really hard work, decided to stop serving at 11.

Great atmosphere any weeknight, friday night is always good with ample seating for after work drinks / meals. Good food. Bottled beers only. One of the best bars in Hammersmith.
