Ramon GuthrieJuly 3, 2016Great atmosphere, very classy and trendy, it's become my regular, a good place to go for afterwork drinks, it closes at 11pm so it's good as pre-club place, so you can move onto a party afterwardsUpvoted Jan 30
Harriet RuffFebruary 26, 2015Lively and fun atmosphere. Food was delicious. They were very generous and accommodating after there was an issue with our booking. I highly recommend the reef & beef - healthy portion of lobster!
if you book a table for valentine's day we offer you a valentine's cocktail each.... how good and romantic is that.Drop me an email & i will arrange everything for you info@thefollybar.co.ukdelfina
claire bearJanuary 11, 2015Great food, friendly staff good for quick bite for lunch or evening and good for quick drink or reserving space down stairs will continue to return! Sweet mash & lamb pic inc.
Richard PalmerSeptember 13, 2020I’ve always liked this place. It’s got a great vibe and good selection of drinks. Have to admit I usually try to avoid on the weekend when the clientele drops, but needs must.
Marisa AlexisDecember 4, 2016Really nice. Booked for my birthday celebrations. Staff were excellent. The welcone was warm. The food was ok and good value for money. The decor, background music and overall ambience was very nice.
DR GFebruary 4, 2015Flatbread with goat cheese and red onion is so delicious! Awesome place for big groups, birthday parties, and brunch. Goldfish-in-a-bag cocktail is horrifying... But kinda awesome.
Dan ThompsonMarch 6, 2016The service was excellent! Every person who served us / looked after us was very friendly & accommodating. Plus, the food was very nice too! I'd highly recommend it!
Sophie GarnierSeptember 11, 2013Make sure you book a table during the week, it's full of City workers. Perfect for Sunday brunch when empty after a stroll in the city. They also have nice Oyster card holders :)
Hui-ern NgOctober 18, 2014It was the Special of the Day: very impressed with the creamy risotto :) and we had seats under the trees and fairy lights
Vee SethuFebruary 22, 2015The Honey & Spice cocktail is to die for! Really great atmosphere and the food looked great too (didn't have any myself but it looked great!)
OlinOctober 13, 2017Loved this place. Food upstairs combined with a more dancy atmosphere downstairs for drinks. Reservations needed for Fridays after work. Recommended!- Very Good ServiceJanuary 31, 2014Can become very busy at lunch time. Great place for mid morning coffee break, turns into a popular City bar in the evening.
Natalie KJuly 27, 2014If you come here for brunch, note that you have to go up to the bar to order. We waited for 30 mins before a waiter finally came around & informed us of that.
Cami HeitzOctober 18, 2014Cool & trendy bar for an after office. A little overpriced, but definitely worth it! Right in the city of London.
Cocktails are awesome but I wouldn't bother with the food. Sit on the bench seat by the window when it's packed, brilliant for people watching.
MayankFO PandeyJanuary 15, 2015Brilliant decor but need to book in advance. Otherwise you end up sitting at the sides and will envy those sitting at awesome places and looking happier.- Zeynep Ozturk OzyerMay 19, 2018Good value for money, great for group celebrations and after work dancing. Cozy and trendy with delicious cocktails and friendly staff.
Daniele VirgiliAugust 16, 2011Better to reserve a table in advance (30mins wait on monday evening). We eat salmon salad and chicken salad. Portion are Big and Service is good. The restaurant is very nice and particular.
Jordi LlobetDecember 18, 2014Gorgeous place where to diner or take a drink. The house wine is very good. Crowded on evenings.
Lovely Vongole! Very friendly waiter as well! Make sure you book a table in advance. Waited 30 mins for a table at lunch time. Avoid Fri night as it is normally rediculously rammed!!
Richard GregoryDecember 3, 2010Recommended: This new botanical-based haven serves antipasto, sandwiches, burgers and glorious hearty mains. I recommend the beef bourguignon with creamy mash for just £9.95, it's delicious. Read more
Mr PNovember 2, 2015Ask to book a table downstairs but in the raised section. Quieter but still good atmosphere.
I really like the atmosphere. Food is good but really this a place for young city people to relax and grab a drink after work...
Chris ClementMarch 17, 2016Really excellent place to have a pint afterwork. Atmosphere was great, enjoyed it very much.
Rennan GuisardNovember 2, 2018Great food and awesome atmosphere. Ordered a burger at lunchtime and it was delicious.
Tom SchraderJune 27, 2013I absolutely love this place. Beautifully decked out, great vibe, beautiful girls and great food. Excellent city bar.
sino tanFebruary 10, 2016duck salad has very sweet souce and very cold. I wish it tasted good as it looked😔
David SulitzerMarch 31, 2015Nice place, crowded even during the week. Lots of finance guys...and girls looking for them 😁
Angela NymanJanuary 20, 2011great after work spot, good cocktails and actually haven't had any bad service although it is always busy. Like it!
The duck flatbread is amazing! Its tasty and filling and it's enough for two to share.
Tascha ElliottFebruary 21, 2016Tiny portion of breakfast for a lot more then it was worth. Service also disappointing. I'd try here again for dinner but never breakfast again.
Jill OsbornJanuary 29, 2015Good atmosphere lovely decor love the hanging light as you walk in food is good to .- Maria O'BrienMay 19, 2013Don't be fooled "bubble and squeak" is NOT bubble and squeak but simply mash! Great service and good coffee though
GregorygrishaJanuary 18, 2016Vodka+juice absolutely without vodka, cocktails are very watery. The interior is nice and worth a visit
Rach WhitakerAugust 30, 2011Loved the atmosphere and food in here! And I think it's reasonably priced for the location. I recommend you try it!!- cam howittJanuary 30, 2015Great for post work drinks, nice sharing plates. I'd avoid the lamb burger though- very dry
Mitchell SageMay 24, 2012Best food and service. Ask for Pedro the GM. Very hot Thursday night. Lot's of Louboutins! Hot legs!
Daniel LeyApril 19, 2014What a bloomin' lovely place, pretty much spent my entire time here looking at the decor.
Sara RagusaMay 27, 2014Lovely place and atmosphere! The bar staff though is a bit slow and disorganised.
Nikita KnyazevApril 20, 2013A good place for a drink or dinner with friends. Open space, good location
