    Nic cocktails, nice music, nice atmosphere, and the nicest staff you can find around! Even their tapas are great! (Aspanish said) Definitely one of my fav bars.

    Nice little bar with a solid kitchen (Spain/Portugal food). The bar guys and gals know what they are doing with cocktails. Pro tip: if you are planning a party, double check what you are getting.

    Great vibe here. Table football at the front, screens at the back. Smack bang in the centre of exmouth market. Only issue would be with how narrow it is and one toilet per gender?? Really?

    The best place in London for a casual drink on the best neighbourhood there is. Or at least my favourite.

    Fantastic bar. Very good selection of cocktails and beers. Enjoy a Caipirinha whilst getting stuck into the vintage table football.

    Great happy hour deals on beer. Can get a bit rammed on Fridays, but the crowd is friendly and the atmosphere nice and buzzy.

    Nice cocktails (so nice they were gone before I got a snap). Try the Italian Job if you like mango.

    Good food. Good place to watch any sport event. They have so many tv for different match at the same time. Happy hour, £2/beer.

    It's the place where everybody comes together and enjoys coffees in the afternoon, the famed cocktails and a game of baby foot in between, not to mention the hearty lunches to tapas in the evening.

    So: the pretty girl at the bar does washy cocktails (ok it's common in London) but then shows an attitude when you make her notice. 8 £ for water in the end...

    They don't take reservations for less than 10 people. It can get very busy...

    When you first walk in it looks like a greasy spoon. Lino table cloths. Tables for 3-4 people. Then you see the football tables and the bar.

    Incredibly bad service - reprimanded for sitting at a table outside. Told I had "no common sense" for not guessing there was no table service. Don't reward with contempt for their customers.
