| Great place. Excellent food. Horrible customer service. If you are looking for a place to have a beer and shots, it's perfect. If you want a restaurant the food is amazing but the crew is rude and arrogant. If you want tapas, nibbles, salads, appetizers, FORGET it. You cannot even sit if you doesn't look live having a proper meal. They do good efforts to make you feel uncomfortable. suberbthings - 17 Feb 2009 12:58 |
| A good Soho bar with great character. The twist manages not to be too annoying and garlic vodka goes down a treat. The only problem is that the Goth music of today - Marilyn Manson etc. - is way inferior to the Eighties variety and that's saying something given that the original stuff was fairly ropey (the Cure may have had the haircuts but the music was bever properly Goth). This place is rare in that it's an acceptable place to spend an evening in Soho - the Thorpe Park of London drinking. BoehmBawerk - 3 Jan 2009 07:44 |
| Just spent New Year's Eve here 08/09 with a bunch of metal friends visiting from CZ. Had the greatest time and enjoyed the food, atmosphere, Bloodshots and Tony Montanas and above all the music :-) The staff were very friendly and contributed to one of the best New Year's Eve's I've had for a long time. I just wish I lived closer (not 30mins tube away) as I would make this a more regular haunt (no pun intended) for my evenings. If you like Garlic - and by that I mean Love Garlic - then you will not be disappointed with the food. Great night guys and appreciated - I hope your afterparty was as much fun!

| The place only does two beers - San Miguel, or Stella Artois. A bit like Sophie's Choice really, it's not a pretty decision. I opted for the San Miguel and a famed Bloodshot, and quickly realised why only two horrendous beer options are required. The Bloodshot strips out your taste buds, and your beer is going to get necked in a search for fire relief. Now...I've consumed a lot of stupid things in my time, but nothing before that made my eye sockets feel like vomiting. Wow! I think anyone who fancies themselves as a bit of a spice fiend needs to come here and try one of these. Like the hottest Bloody Mary you've ever had, times 10, in concentrate form. Anyway, if Bloodshots don't sound like your bag, there's 100 others to choose from. The bar downstairs is nothing much (it's painted ceiling to floor in black, what is there to describe?), and plays metal. The upstairs looks much better, but as we weren't eating we quickly got whisked downstairs. Seemed an odd way to run a business - sweep everyone out of sight (downstairs or in the back patio) so your place looks empty, but it's been around for ages, so must work I guess. topdog_andy - 2 Aug 2007 14:59 |
| This place is hilarious. Went in with some mates and just went along with the whole thing, drank some kind of vodka shot with garlic and chilli in it - foul and at £2.50 a shot left me wishing I'd put another 30p to it and got a pint of Landlord at the Dog and Duck ... but nonetheless a comedy interlude, not as funny as Dr Gibbles smashing a rancid cigar like a yank tourist he insisted on buying from that whisky shop on Old Compton Street. I can see some people would love this place. They probably didn't enjoy school much thoughbut. anonymous - 6 Sep 2006 23:11 |
