The first time I went there was completely by mistake. We were looking for the Attica and landed at the Digress. I must say that it was really fun the first time: Loads of cute guys, nice drinks and not too crowded. We went there a week later and the place just didnt look the same. It was packed with really smashed guys who just cant take no for an answer... I dont understand why they have bouncers at the door when they obviously let MR anybody get in. I had some problem with a guy who kept on grabbing my arse whenever he could...He was about to slap my friend when she told him to lay off...The DJ called the security guy but the later did nothing...I wouldnt recomend this place to girls...It's just packed with horny ,ugly guys who think they can do whatever pleases them...And the second time..the drinks were awful...Never buy their long island iced tea

I popped in here on Friday afternoon to find that it hadn’t changed since my last visit around 8 years ago, when an exceptionally ignorant bouncer barred me for pointing out that his head was the biggest bucket of meat I had ever seen.

It looked fairly empty at 5 on Friday, but upon entering I noticed that 60% of the tables were reserved for party groups. I ended up standing outside where I noticed that they have put a couple of tables and a few chairs under a canopy.

I had to wait for a couple of minutes to be served as the barmaid was rushed off her feet and the 2 managers/supervisors behind the bar were far too busy managing/supervising to serve anyone. When my coughing was heard and I asked for a pint I was served the wrong one – well done!

I didn’t really like it in here when I was in my early 20’s, so it doesn’t stand a chance now!

Hell. Went here for a birthday party last night hoping the doorman would turn me away, but was unfortunately welcomed in. The upstairs is a very bland, non-descript bar - essentially a characterless bistro that's had some gaudy 4 for £20 chandeliers put up. Plasma TVs are used to show continuous footage of CGI fish in a fishtank (surprised the eco-fascists that seem to infest London these days haven't complained about the garish waste of energy). On the beer side of things, one nitrokeg ale is available (Bass), but there are 3 types of latino bilgewater in bottle - Corona, Sol, and Brahma. Obviously Mexican/Brazilian beer is so varied, it's important to carry a wide selection. For those wanting something a bit more substantial, Leffe is available at a cool £4 a half.

On the way to the toilets downstairs, you pass through a meat-market of office managers attempting to force themselves on their temps/PAs, after getting them drunk on Happy Hour cocktail pitchers. Lines like "I know you've only been temping for us for a week, but I feel like I've really gotten to know you....." are slurred by men with their work shirts unbuttoned down to the belly-button, while shuffling from one foot to the other, remaining completely still from the knees up.

Finally, if you can swim through the pungent air of musk, you hit the toilets, where you get mugged by the toilet attendant. You know you're in a place that's trying to be pretentious when they have a toilet attendant:

Bar: "Look, we're providing you with an extra service!"
Me: "But I'm expected to pay for it, whether I want it or not, and am completely capable of using a soap/paper dispenser myself!"

Oh......and they played about 8 songs Justin Timberlake songs in the space of 3 hours (not an exaggeration). You'll know if this is your kind of place. Unfortunately, it's not mine.

Awful! Barmen can't make a proper cocktail, the DJs are useless and it's overpriced to boot!

Horrible bar that has incredibly rude, unprofessional staff. The beer was off. The food was stale. They play tedious cheesy music and it is full of boring chavs. Avoid this place. There are much better late night bars in Soho.
