| Possibly the worst bar I've ever been to. The customers are arrogant and aggressive whilst the staff are paranoid and confrontational. There are a few interesting beers but they're very well hidden and the staff have no interest in finding them let alone serving them correctly. The decor is cheap and worn. The whole establishment has a stagnant unpleasant smell. jwvpenn - 13 Oct 2008 08:16 |
| contrary to the previous reviewer, Smiths was not the first place I had a drink in London. But otherwise he has hit the nail on the head - a really awful place in so many ways. They do have a few interesting (but overpriced!) beers, and the bar does serve as a minimally passable holding pen if you're having dinner upstairs. dpv - 16 Jul 2008 14:25 |
| There seem to be a lot of negative reviews about Smiths, but I love it. Yes, it's pretentious, overpriced, and the lounges sticky, but it was one of the first places I came for a drink when I arrived in London, so it just epitomises London for me. Great location opposite the markets, cool decor, open spaces, and although the noise can be deafening on a busy night, there is just so much atmosphere that it is worth it. Hygiene freaks may want to avoid though - the place recently only got one star out of five for cleanliness!! Pass the vodka!!! stuartw - 24 Mar 2008 17:26 |
| Just spent Friday evening in the ground floor bar of this place. Where to begin? The 'music' seems to be some kind of dance elevator music with no discernible tune, just an endless repetitive thudding which got steadily louder through the evening to the point where it was giving me a headache. Couldn't hear myself shout. Nothing apparent in the way of ale. Two lagers and a stout on tap so everyone appears to be drinking the same, leading to confusion and confrontation over pint ownership. Probably the least pleasant bar I've ever been to - and I've been to Margate! Oh, and they employ a 'bog troll'. I really don't want someone being paid to watch me urinate, thanks, and I can wash my hands on my own, I'm a big boy now. Nul points. Jez_The_Weasel - 12 Jan 2008 03:03 |
