We had our christmas party here last year and it was AWESOME! We had a private bar, which was really stylish and had epic views over Piccadilly Circus. The staff had really gone to the effort, and our bar was beautifully decorated, just as we requested. They laid on a fantastic buffet for us, which included all sorts of different food, so something for everyone, and we also had a champagne reception, which was just lovely!
Later on in the night, my friend lost her purse, and one of the managers came with a torch to help us find it and was really helpful!
Brilliant night, would definitely go back.

We hadn't been to On Anon since the refurb, so we were a bit sceptical, but we went along anyway and were pleasantly surprised! The bars have been redecorated really stylishly, and there are loads of different themed rooms, with different music playing. We also went on a Friday, and Dave Kelly was DJing, which was a nice surprise! A great place for a fun night out!

We went their last week for St Patricks Day. They had 'happy hour' between 5-8 so we went there straight from work about 5pm but by 7pm they had completely run out of Guiness and by 10pm they had no draught beer or lager on tap meaning that the �4 pints became �4 bottles (1/2 pint).
The music wasn't bad and the place had plenty of different bars, booths, etc but the lack of draught beer/lager is a big no no considering that the place wasn't due to stop serving until 3am.
I think that the money they lost during 'happy hour' earlier in the night was more than recouped by only have bottles and spirits available, very convenient!

their staff is very rude - don't go there!
|
Went here the other night, thought it was fine. Happy hour bargains and decent enough ccktails. But nothing special, really.
|
We got to this place via racing 2 rikshaw bikes.. unfortuantely we wiped out one of the door staff when the brakes failed....
Went into this place and left within an hour... pure crap.. too many rude boys who acted like a jumped up Puff daddy and the women think they are better looking than they are (take a look in the mirror love)

A gazillion floors of pure, unadulterated crap.
Has the dubious distinction of equalling the lowest rating I've given anything on this site.

I remember when I was a student we tried to get in here. Queued for ages, and as happens after a night in the pub, the calls of nature were more like howls of nature. Taking it in turns, we ducked out of the queue to visit one of those portable plastic urinals they had just started putting out in Soho at that time. All but one of us availed ourselves of those most convenient of conveniences, apart from a friend I shall refer to only as DOCTOR GIBBLES, who refused to do so. When he began to moan and complain his "bladder was about to burst", we told him it was his own fault for being so priggish. Anyway, when we got to the front of the queue we were, predictably, refused entry by bouncers for various reasons - someone looked too pissed, they don't let in groups of lads, shiny black loafers from Base of London compulsory, that kind of shite. Poor old DOCTOR GIBBLES ran off into the night, wailing like a banshee. I think he relieved himself in a MacDonalds somewhere (probably taking in something from 99p menu when he did so).
Anon Anon is awful. Pure misery. Leave it to the out-of-towners.

Being very honest we weree standing at the bottom of regent strret trying to decide where we would go, we decided to go in here as we were heading in the direction here we were set up by the the sleazy crew trying to get our business and get us inside, i found them such a pain in the arse, they said free in and free this free that, but anyway despite all that the 9 pretty women and 3 blokes in our crew we went to the door and all then changed !! the 3 touts gathered around us and it was now a fiver in for everyone the put the red rope around us so we could not escape, well let me assure you of one thing we all turned on our heels and walked away from this slease hole
it was worth ever penny just to see their faces drop and then the ycame begging after us
IF ITS THAT HARD TO GET BUSINESS IN THE CENTRE OF LONDON YOU LOT SHOULD CLOSE

Ruby, any attempt at wit is wasted on this khazi. I think Leicester Square should be officially ceded to the County of Essex, much as the somewhat more salubrious Ely Place and Olde Mitre were once part of Cambridge.
By the way, Sean is cheating on you.

If On Anon were a serial killer, it would be one of those besuited charming ones. You know, quite good looking, works out a lot, yet frenzied, cold and ruthless.
That's how these bars in As-Central-As-It-Gets-London feel to me: frenzied, cold and ruthless.
Enjoy.

Yeah, well let's be honest Stonch me old pal. It's more interesting than the Market Porter. It's got lots of different bits to go to, so if you make a fool of yourself on one level you can go to another and start again. And it's full of birds. So it could be a lot worse. But the fellow is right about the bog trolls. Just bite your lip and slip 'em a quid. It ain't worth the grief if you don't.

I have been here twice and would not go again. Its one of those places that doesn't let any more than two males who don't have the obligatory "lay-dees" in tow to come in. But I ask you - if you already had a girlfriend, why would you be coming here?
Very expensive drinks inside. Lots of different areas confusingly strung together. Mixed crowd of out of towners and tourists. Not nice. Please do avoid. Please.

Been to this place three times, with quite some time in between them. Every time i've been there the staff has recognized me. And they know what i drink. This is great. Apart from that, the place is a bit too big, and the music could be better.
But the staff is great
|
Without doubt the most agressive, obnoxius bog trolls in London. Overpriced and seriously unfun place. The chav's and tourists keep it going so no one really caes if they get ripped off, they deserve it!!
|
Don't bother unless you are a chav with money to burn on watered down drinks. This place must make a scary amount of money whilst ripping you off.
|
yet another over priced glam bar with a rude little man demanding money in the toilets. we had one drink then back to callaghans round the corner. far better around there.
|
Good drinks at good prices during happy hour(5-7.30) Though the prices go crazy after that. Rude rude staff (from the bathroom attendants, to the bar staff in my experience). A bit soulless.
|
The bar staff are great but the bouncers and toilet attendants can be rude and aggressive. Have had some great nights here but you need to get there early for happy hour as the prices are extortionate otherwise.
|
Good night out. Relaxed atmosphere, lots of different bars and doesn't take too long to get served. Bottles and shots fairly pricey (but isn't most of London?!) Made even more pricey by thieving bar staff who gave change for a �10 note when they had definitely handed over �20. This happened to 2 of my mates in the same evening so wonder how much they are making out of this scam....

I find this place confusing,there aresomany different bars and it is too posh for its own good.Its too big to have any real atmosphere,worth a visit just once to check out the size of the bar but thats it!

On Anon is great fun, so long as you go early and take advantage of Happy Hour. Later on it is scarily full of large gangs of party-goers. The music is hit and miss. Sometimes the lounge music is great, other times and the music wouldn't know lounge if it hit it.
I too object to the "toilet lady". It is emotional blackmail.

Beer price was horrendous, why do people think that a bottle of larger which is effectively half a pint should cost twice the amount of a proper pulled pint!! Place was generally alright, had a particularly anal bouncer who had been told to man a set of stairs with his life, this meant that as soon as somebody came down them, he was already insisting that they don�t loiter. Had a steak sandwich which was covered in mustard, I think to disguise the lack of actual steak.

Meat market. Go in, check your brain at the door and pull your date for the night. Expensive beer means nothing here. I am sick of places that have Liberian refugees in the toilets trying to dry my hands for me. If I want a paper towel I will get one for myself thank you very much. It gets to the point where I am now afraid to wash my hands in London. A sad state of affairs!

Fantastic place, a bar for every mood! If you get there for happy hour (which is really 2 and a half hours - drinks are half price)! My favourite is the booth bar, where you can pre-book for you and your friends.... how can someone NOT have a good time here!

very roamy easily get lost, dont try taking the lollipop in the ladies they charge u a pound for it, and expect u to give out tips in the ladies to the cleaners.

Horrendous - can you take the sound of two or three hundred accountants pissed off their nuts? Its a challenge. But you won't stay long unless you have an adequate overdraft facility. You need a loan for a round of 5 beers.

6 bars on 4 floors, especially like the ski lodge on the top floor over looking Picadilly Circus. You can reserve a seating area by telephone 020 7287 8008.
