Don't waste your time at this place.

I've been three times, and due to the ridiculous door policy only been able to get in on one occasion.

First time I arrived at 5:30pm, was told they opened at 6pm and to come back later. I arrived back at 6:05pm to be told by the doorman there was no more space in the bar, so apparently it had filled up in five minutes.

The second time they were kind enough to let my girlfriend and I in as we had booked, nice cocktails but nowhere near as good as somewhere like Purl in Marylbone, Milk and Honey or even any of the Dirty Martini chains.

The third time my friends asked me to book us all a table there, so I duly did for four of us. We arrived on the time we specified, but were told by the doorman we had come half an hour late, even though I showed him the booking email on my phone which stated the time we had arrived for.

We had one extra person in our group who was unaccounted for in the original booking due to a late comer, we were told he would not be allowed in. As I knew that 50% of the bar is saved for reservations, and 50% for walk-ins, I asked if the place was full and the doorman said no. However, he still wouldn't let my friend in as he said that meant our group comprised of a party of five which was not allowed.

The draconian measure employed by this establishment have really put me off going somewhere that I could have potentially considered quite a cool place. If they sort out their unfriendly door policy in the future then maybe I'll give this another go, but really the main selling point of the place is just that it looks like a secret bar, it's not that special.
