| This was my worst bar experience in London. Although the 8 of us celebrating a friends leaving do, went in with the best of intentions and a good, friendly mood we ended up having the worst night ever, being abused by bouncers and regretting giving our money to a place like this. The security stuff -who btw are everywhere!-is full of ignorant ex-bodybuilders who were bullied back in school and got this job to get revenge on the society. After being repeatedly harassed by one of them we asked to speak to the manager who - surprise!- looked like coming out of a Guy Richie movie (or wanted to look like one), treated us with disrespect, was hostile and with even worse manners than the bouncers. (Apparently he used to be one of them who got promoted for having a record number of teenagers beaten up in one night!!) They seemed to regularly throw people out of the bar with any excuse - which we figured out is a good way of refreshing the clientelle every hour or so by the long queues outside, and pocketing more money. Generally there are no rules or rights in this bar, it is like entering a crazy person's home and you have to play by his rules. Seriously, there are so many nicer places to go in London, with friendlier atmosphere and much better service. There is one thing I owe to give them thought: they couldn't have chosen a better name! dimix - 6 Oct 2008 13:49 |
| I can't think of anything worse than a night out in here...except maybe a sudden amputation or 8 car pile up..... words can't describe how awful this place is.... MrKennedy - 18 Sep 2008 10:10 |
| What a place full of the biggest hippocrates in the country! Was there a couple of nights ago and the doormen refused entry to 4 guys who respectably dressed, were a bit loud but NOT loud as we were in front of them in the line to get in. To cut a long story short the cheeky bouncers refused the men giving them very feeble excuses, and when one of the men expressed his disgust and offered to take one of the bouncers round the corner for a one on one fight the bouncers just shit themselves and tried to ignore the men. The bouncers did get the mickey taken out of them brilliantly by this guy and i found it really funny, none of them wanted to go near this guy as they were scared they would all get a terrible hiding.

| I was at zoo bar the other day & had a ball. The Euro was showing and everyone was watching & the place had such a buzz about it. Also they had great drinks prices from 9pm for there student night which i ended up staying for as its not just only 18 year olds. I'm going back really soon!! slee - 12 Jun 2008 12:17 |
| I love going to zoo bar & having so much fun. They really do go by party hard or go home! If you just want to be able to be yourself & have a real party i would suggest this place no problems. Put your stuff in the cloakroom & then just enjoy your evening without any fuss. Drinks are very resonable with pricing for central london. See you soon Zoo Bar!!!! slee - 23 Apr 2008 15:20 |
