We had a fantastic time here on Friday night. Good party atmosphere and amazing cocktail list. It's very clean and well kept. Will definatley be going back

Came here on Saturday. Seemed a friendly enough place but was fairly quiet. Drinks prices were reasonable and it does serve platters of food but we didn't have any. Background music quite laid back / nu cool. Smoking area looked nice.
|
Great to have Ember open again. Doesn't look much different but thats not a bad thing. Impressed with the service and I love the outside patio at the back.
|
Ember has been closed down for some re-construction work and we hope to be re-opening with a fresh new look on Friday 4th April. For any enquiries, please email headoffice@faucetinn.com.

Closed down? Interior ripped out.
Oh, and a quiet word to licensees who add positive reviews of their own premises under the name "Tatjana" - please, don't bother.

Bar looks good, but is always empty while the bars surrounding it enjoy a roaring trade...
Probably something to do with the pompous manager who insists on making free cocktails for all the women, while the rest of us wait 10mins to get a pint.
Avoid, unless your female and like being perved on!

I went there, and took a pic of the new refurbed Ember. it looks amazing, especially downstairs. and Danny is not only a laugh, but makes the most mindblowing cocktails ever!! Definitely my new sunday to saturday night haunt. And the new menu is just fab as well, and so affordable!
|
Just had a re-fit and is very modern and funky. The lit bar top is especially attractive. Is now also non-smoking which is a plus for me. But does have an outside area available for it. Is open late at weekends and serves some fab cocktails. Danny on the bar is a good laugh. Nice Bar!

Passed through a few weeks ago on the way to Fabric. Was going to stay for one but didn’t leave till the end, lucky thing we had tickets. The boss has booked the room downstairs for the Christmas party and after that night I’m sure it will be a great one.

A standard DJ bar, exactly what you'd expect. Low leather seating - don't need to say anymore. Standard beers. OK I guess, no objections, though I'd rather go to the Castle a few doors up.
|
if you are comfortable in the company of work-hard, play-hard types this is a good place to come. once you've gone through some of the spectacular creations on their customised cocktail menu check out the downstairs club - resident DJs play very danceable house tunes and there's just enough low seating to do all the things you shouldn't... their evening menu successfully follows the not-so-recent trend of british tapas and the general vibe is less self consciously cool than welcoming to anyone out to have fun.

Not sure I agree with Jet. It is far from the coolest place to go in EC1. Fairly inoffensive and not overly expensive.

Not that bad if you want a loud late bar. Obviously rubbish for beers, but what would you expect?

There's a downstairs? Oh well, live and learn. Never had an atmosphere when I went, but then I tended to go on weekdays. Moderate prices, usual bar drinks, no ale. Not bad.
|
in an area with stiff competition Ember remains the coolest place to go in EC1. their downstairs club 'SubEmber' holds about 80 people, is open late thu, fri & sat, has a high quality sound system and employs resident DJ's. staff are knowledgeable and very patient with a demanding pre-club crowd.
