Popped in for some fabulous cocktails after a meal at The Ivy. Very friendly and prompt service from lovely Emily, the very smart doorman and her team, couldn’t do enough to accommodate. 5 Star Bar, would recommend 100% xx

Over priced and underwhelming cocktails. The service was friendly. But the drinks were low quality for the price. It felt like they wanted to give the appearance of a cocktail bar without putting in the time, effort and quality ingredients.
Might be ok for some people, but not for me.

Had a wonderful party at this venue, in a private room with brilliant service. Emily was so helpful in party planning. The atmosphere is lovely and sophisticated. Charcuterie boards that catered to all were complimented by so many of my guests. The cocktails and drinks are excellent too, with a huge amount of choice! We all enjoyed our night and would definitely recommend this venue!
