I have always enjoyed my visits to Vesbar. The cocktails are rather nice as are the sharing platters. For Shepherd's Bush it really isn't that bad and I'd be inclined to say that it is one of the few nice cocktail bars to go to in the area...although, there isn't that much competition!
The staff are always friendly. We are usually waited on by a lovely French waitress who makes us feel like regulars! The prices aren't that bad at all. The strawberry dacquiris are a definite asset, and if you're feeling adventurous the coconut mojitos are really refreshing!
What's more, Thursday nights they have a live DJ playing some good funky house choons which are a definite welcomed alternative to the Walkabout just across the road!!

I absolutely loved this place. As you approach the entrance to the BBG it is lit with sparkling fairy lights which lead to a rather fetching french-windowed establishment, tucked away from the bustle of Goldhawk Road. It is really well decorated, with an infinite bar on one side, separated by a trelaced dining area.
The menu here is varied and interesting. There is also a rather impressive selection of wines, especially if you like your French reds like me...although some of my usual drinks did tend to be on the expensive side. I would definitely recommend the veal if available, and my date and I definitely agreed that the chocolate brownie was to die for. It seriously was the best chocolate dessert I have ever had in an a la carte restaurant...so the BBG is definitely worth a visit just for that!
After our meal we made our way to the bar area on the other side and tried out the usual cocktails...mine being a(few) strawberry dacquiri. The bar staff were lovely (we recommend a certain "Bobby Dazzler") and made cocktails on demand.
We ended up staying until closing time (1.30am) without even realising where the time had gone! A truly enjoyable evening and somewhere I will definitely be paying a visit in the near future!
