1751 Distillery, Bar & Kitchen in Southwark

Tarde - entró a tomar unas copas. Un ambiente muy agradable y el personal muy amable y atento. Aparecieron buenos bocadillos y las bebidas estaban buenas. No es barato, pero es justo para la ubicación. Volvería.

Tuvimos una comida encantadora con la familia seis de nosotros lo pasamos muy bien. Personal amable buena recepción desde el principio. Buena elección de comida y un montón de ella y fue rápido. Solo la decepción fue la elección de la carne de res, en la barra tienen una variedad de cervezas ninguna disponible así que se conformaron con botellas 🤷‍♂️ en general una experiencia limpia y amable con un buen ambiente. Precios muy razonables, así - bien gracias por una gran noche

Great customer service. The food was tasty, the cheese soufflé was so great.

Can you imagine planning a fun night out with your friends, hoping for good drinks and a great atmosphere, only to have your evening completely ruined by staff who clearly don’t want to do their jobs? That’s exactly what happened to us at 1751 Distillery Bar & Kitchen. It started with a warning: they were short-staffed and couldn’t handle table service because it was “too much work.” Fine, we figured we could manage ordering at the bar. We settled in, ordered some drinks, and tried to make the best of it. My friends, all in their late twenties and early thirties, stuck with beer while one of us ordered cocktails. From the first round, it was painfully obvious that the bartender hated making cocktails and wasn’t shy about showing his frustration. He was visibly unhappy, and it was hard not to feel awkward every time he was behind the bar. Still, we tried to let it slide. No one came to our table to check on us, so we walked back and forth to the bar for every round. It wasn’t ideal, but we didn’t want to cause trouble. Things went south during the final round. My friend, who had been enjoying cocktails all evening, was suddenly asked for ID and rejected from ordering—after we’d already spent hours and money there without issue. It felt personal, like the bartender just didn’t want to do his job. When we tried to address it, the manager stepped in. But instead of resolving the situation, they were shockingly rude. Their tone, attitude, and unwillingness to listen were unprofessional and left us stunned. At that point, we had no choice but to leave, our night completely ruined. The overall vibe was undeniable: no one there wanted to work. The barman seemed to have serious anger issues, and the manager? Even worse. If you’re looking for a place to relax and enjoy yourself, this isn’t it. The food wasn’t worth it either. Avoid this place unless you want to end your evening feeling frustrated and unwelcome.

We spent our work Christmas party here. I love the cauliflower starter however I found the carbonara too salty. One of my colleague had to ask them to reheat as it is already cold. The server on our table is not really friendly. Overall, atmosphere is good.

Odd place. Surprisingly empty for 23rd December given the location. Decor looks alright. But service was inattentive and poor, and final straw was the kitchen not having any chips - but no one though it might be a good idea to mention this to us before we set about choosing our order! Shambles. Some more examples: - I was sat at a very dimly lit table when there were plenty of other tables with better lighting - sat down for 5 minutes ignored by the staff before I had to signal for my first drink - whilst sat at my table (I reserved for 4) and waiting for the rest of my party - one waiter decided to start clearing away the other places assuming I was on my own - did't bother to ask me first and I had to tell him to leave them - asked for lime cordial - got a slice of lime (this happened twice) - asked for slimline tonic - got normal tonic. - once our party had made our meal selection - I opted for "fish and chips" and the waiter taking the order said apologetically "there are no CHIPS". - Speechless! None of the staff thought it might be a good idea to let diners know that earlier? I've never heard of a kitchen running out of chips! We all just paid for our drinks and left at that point and went somewhere else.

Pizza is below average, tasteless, dry. There were no potatoes, only mashed potatoes)

A nice restaurant near Tower Bridge, not crazy either but pretty decent.

We loved the restaurant. Good food and incredible service. Doni was super nice, very kind and also give us lots of tips of what to do in London.

Decent bar in the heart of the city!

stopped for cocktails, good service, plenty of cocktails to choose from ,nice atmosphere worth visiting 😀

Really disappointing. Main came out before the starter. When mains arrived they were dried out ( I could see they had been left at the server) . Carbonara was totally dry and in one lump and chicken on skewers was dry and tough. Items not eaten and refund given. No one said sorry !!

Food here was quite average. Carbonara wasn’t as flavourful as needed and didn’t enjoy the texture of the bacon as crispy and thin as it was. For my second visit - opted for fish and chips which was average, hard to make a mistake with that one.

Had the burger for 25 pounds. I would rather have 2 Big Macs from McDonald’s instead, and save the rest. The beer from the tab was good though.

Place is really nicely decorated, great location and plenty of space. Food was amazing, we loved everything we ordered (shout out to the roasted chicken supreme!!)!! Service, however, was very slow. We had to ask for our second round of beers 3 times, we finished our food before they came! The stuff who served us wasn't very friendly at all, not making any effort and the tip of just below £17 was included, which I would have reduced for sure! Would go back and I recommend this place because of the food :)

We were a group of around 8 people, service was a complete disaster!. We ordered food, (starter and main each)j some starters never arrived, then with the mains there was a huge delay, terrible, it is a shame as the food is good but far too many mistakes from the management.

Great food and wonderful survice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The steak was literally just a steak on a plate with a bit of watercress. No sides, chips, potatoes etc. It was not a complete plate of food. They didn't mention this to us so we had to wait 20mins for extra chips (to have with cold steak) The steak itself was fine. Mustard and ketchup came in squeeze bottles - which would also have been fine if we hadn't paid near £30 for just a piece of meat on a plate. Avoid

The atmosphere was really perfect especially because it was my sister birthday and she enjoyed herself and the food and drink was lovely thanks and we will see you soon! Take care 🙏🏽😘

Very poor service, food quality is not even close to average.

Pity because it's a very nice space but the food is very basic. Every other place was packed and this was empty -

We stopped here almost by mistake looking for an English Breakfast and I must say that it was a truly excellent discovery! Full English is really plentiful and of good quality, the English muffins are also delicious. Prices average for London

We had the breakfast buffet, which was very nice. Lots of different options, buffet was presented nicely. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

I had an awful experience at this restaurant. There were mice running around, and my food arrived much later than my friends’—cold and without any sauces. The fries tasted sour, almost like they were spoiled. Absolutely terrible:(

I have eaten here twice and both times both the food and drinks were great. Tried the pasta and fish and chips and recommend recommend. Donnie is an awesome server. I enjoyed myself and could easily eat there every night but definitely want to branch out and try other places.

Nice place. The food was good and some good options on the menu. They did an excellent job of catering to one of our party who has a food allergy and made sure the food he ate was free from anything that could cause a reaction. The only negative was that the service was slow even though it was very quiet, and we had to call someone over every time we wanted to order something or refill our drinks, again despite this being a Thursday afternoon and very quiet. Overall we enjoyed the afternoon we spent in there.

No one greeted us, we sat down at the table, the order was not taken for 15 minutes, we got up and left. Thank you for your hospitality

Very good service both at the bar as well the restaurant! Good food and very good wine selection at reasonable price. Service staff is very courteous.

Had a cappuccino there, the service and quality of the coffee was excellent.

Lovely place, a little pricey but very good food.

Lovely cocktails, beautiful view, Great service...

Leonardo es un camarero increíble. Recomendado el vuelo de ginebra favorecida. Compré botellas para llevar a casa a Florida con nosotros. Dulce y muy atractivo. Lo contrataría en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Sin duda será un éxito en cualquier esfuerzo que se proponga. Hizo que nuestra última noche en Londres fuera fabulosa.

Had breakfast this morning, excellent spread of options and good price point at 20 pounds.

Quiet when we were there. Got the impression it was in a lull before, or just after, a busy period. Fish and chips and chicken and pesto pizza would be recommended.

Very delicious food with a good variety of different dishes which all are fantastic and feel extremely high end! As a vegan I didn't think there would be many options but I was so blown away by the buratta and our table ordered two because it is just that good! Their salad is lovely and refreshing and everyone really liked the food and in house distilled drinks

Tuve una experiencia increíble hoy en London Bridge, tuve prisa y entre reuniones y me hicieron sentir como un VIP. Recibí el tratamiento de 5 estrellas de Renata, Doni y su manager Liudmila. Me hicieron sentir cómodo y eran muy serviciales. No puedo esperar a volver, especialmente si el tiempo es tan bueno como hoy. Establecen un estándar muy alto

Accidentally found this place when returning from the London Tower. My first impression to entering was the beautiful decor. It was modern, eccentric, and classy. As for the service, i walked inside to find the waiter and was seated within 3 minutes- he took some time to take our order but granted was assisting other customers so no big deal there. I was sold on the happy hour special which was 2 for 1 and my husband and I ordered the aperol spritz. They were great! As for the food, my children decided to order a pizza pie and it was nicely cooked and had the perfect amount of cheese. Would highly recommend!

Gin slider allows you to taste 3 gins for the price of just one. Been twice in recent weeks. Not too busy even on a Thurs

Kushal era muy dulce y nos ayudó con el desayuno! La comida era fresca y la tortilla era muy sabrosa también No hay demasiadas opciones de verduras, pero Kushal nos ayudó a encontrar tantas opciones de verduras como había

Great breakfast as usual and wonderful service from Kushal. Super fresh croissants kept coming!

Lovely place to meet post theatre for a delicious gin, especially as we managed to enjoy their happy hour.

There are many choices for breakfast and the environment is elegant.

I loved this place, the energy of the waiters, and the atmosphere was just awesome, great place to eat with your friends .

súper buen servicio y atención al cliente Leonardo is the best waiter y el mejor mesero la comida es deliciosa y en especial las pizzas

My Regular. Great service! Good choices for happy hour

Was there on 6/23/2024. The service was terrible. The 3 people that were there DID. NOT. WANT. TO. BE. THERE. Stood at the counter for 5 mins , was the only one there and the lady ignored me the whole time. The main waiter was sarcastic and rude. Worst service I’ve ever had in London and I’m not someone who complains at all(check out my other reviews if you don’t believe me).

Excellent value pre theatre meal with discount given when tickets shown and a great location with some fantastic views across the Thames just a few minutes walk away

My first visit to this lovely bar and restaurant - a friend and I sat outside in their shaded street terrace and people watched - perfect on a Summer evening! We enjoyed the Gin Sliders - their take on the 'burger slider' idea - but with gins! You can choose 3 of their own distilled gins with the tonic of your choice - we both chose these gins - Raspberry and Pomegranate, Blueberry and Mint and Contemporary London Dry. All lovely! We ordered up a pile of delicious tapas (we especially recommend the halloumi fries and the chorizo braised in red wine with crumbled feta) - it was a lovely post-work treat!

El servicio de Leonardo fue espectacular y la comida deliciosa, nos encantó el pollo supremo y el postre sticky toffee pudding

El servicio de Leonardo fue estupendo nos sentimos muy cómodos el chicken supremo fue estupendo el servicio fue genial definitivamente volveremos de nuevo estamos de visita en la sociedad de londres y definitivamente volveremos

We really liked the atmosphere. The beer was delicious, I ordered lager and my husband ordered dark beer. We ate fish and chips, they were served quickly, had good flavor and were very well presented.

On the 3rd of June, I was welcomed by Jimmy on a birthday dinner surprise of my best friend, he was very welcoming, professional, caring, attentive, and checked on us throughout all dinner, congratulations on his team for the preparation, service and management.

The restaurant itself was lovely however the apple crumble that was described to be warm was freezing as if it had just come out the fridge and not been heated up at all. Also the waiter was very blunt with us and acted as if we were an inconvenience to him.

Quiet and peaceful place, friendly service. The food is rather weak.

Great hotel in the middle of so much cultural and retail happenings! We loved the breakfast at the hotel and coffee particularly good. Great service from Garima and Chirag!

I don't review often but this was a truly bad meal. The fried chicken starter was dripping wet with an awful texture. the condiments that went with it in fact did not go with it. it was drowned in it too, exacerbating the sodden-ness further. I had the gnocchi for the main and it was the worst gnocchi I have ever had. I was gagging trying to stomach the somehow bland, somehow gag worthy pesto sauce with, again, sodden mushrooms. Definitely the worst meal ive had in London which is a shame as the lighting and ambience were both good.

I came in without a booking with my team. Renata went above the line of service to ensure we had an excellent night, and made delicious cocktails - the food was great, this was exactly what we needed! Thank you Renata!

I stayed at Hilton Tiwer Bridge and had my breakfasts at 1751. Chrirag, Rohit, Khurana and Kochedar gave amazing service, they were all extremely attentive and responsive. Also, there a live eggs station where Chef Kasia makes delicious omelettes and takes great care of dietary requirements.

Chirag gave us the most amazing service!!! The breakfast was a full English breakfast as promised. Quality and service were outstanding.

Had a £25 burger, i definitely would not say it was worth it. It was nice but it should really be in the £15 range.

Great spot for a cocktail and nibbles. Recommend the halloumi.

A lovely evening ending had my all. Food was lovely everyone enjoyed their meal, the staff were excellent, friendly, helpful.

Excellent experience. Good food. 👍

Efficient and attentive staff, unexpectedly great food-we had the tuna one night and returned the second night when we had a pizza. The apple crumble was also delicious-plenty big enough to share! Two for price of one cocktails excellent value during happy hour.

Thank you for the excellent service this morning. I really appreciate Rohit attentiveness and professionalism throughout my meal He took really good care of us....food was decent but service was best in london

Excellent service, friendly efficient staff, great food. Pre theatre lunch for nine of us. Would have no hesitation recommending. Will certainly return.

El servicio de leo fue increíble, muy profesional y ameno! Volveremos con mis amigas porque hizo de nuestra cena un evento muy especial

Chirag, Kurana and Stephen were phenomenal in breakfast area. Go ask for them! They are great in breakfast! They are very good.

We ate an excellent burger with chips in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The cheesecake is also good.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, reasonable price. The location is in a good place. Worth the visit.

We came out of the Elvis Exhibition, not sure where we were going to eat, came across this little gem. We entered looking like drowned rats, thinking they would turn us away (in case they may have a dress code) but no, warmly greeted and shown to a lovely table, water was promptly but on the table. Food was lovely and plenty of it. My friend had the chicken supreme and loved the mash, I had the Pizza casiono freshly cooked and delish. Marco our delightful waiter was fun and not overly attentive (great balance of customer service) would highly recommend it and would definitely visit again... 2 main meals, 1 pudding, 1 bottle of wine and an extra glass (large) wine, plus service12% £80...which I thought was great! No wonder it was busy..... Loved it there

Really good food and service loved the carbonara.

Went for breakfast ended up having an amazing time thank to brilliant service by Mattia and Marco. Definetely recommend this place!

Hi, This is my favourite place to meet my girlfriends ( we meet up at least once a month). This place is beautifully decorated, offers happy hour during the week and very delicious food. The service is immaculate; Leo is the best when it comes to spoiling customers.

Had a great night here for old work friends reunion - great small plates to share whilst enjoying some gin and tonics (fab gin thats distilled at the venue!) and we all enjoyed our main meals; I had the fish and chips - yummy! fab atmosphere and great hospitality all round; special mentions for Stavros and Joanna- thank you!

Recently with some friends we celebrated a birthday party at this venue, and once again, the service was top-notch! Leonardo, who has served us on multiple occasions, deserves special recognition. He goes above and beyond, making every visit memorable. His positive attitude and genuine warmth contribute significantly to the welcoming atmosphere of the establishment. Kudos to the entire team, and a special thanks to our outstanding waiter for consistently delivering exceptional service. We look forward to many more enjoyable experiences!

First time here at 1751 Distillery Bar & Kitchen for my niece's birthday. Bart's service was unique. Empathy, kindness and sympathy confirmed his professionalism. The food was all top quality, from the pizza to the meat. Do not underestimate the excellent Cocktails bar, in my opinion, unrivalled. Price more than fair! And all this....in the center of London!!! I recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The food is so good that it's worth every money spent.

We were walking by London Bridge and found this little spot for breakfast so we gave it a try. There was a very nice selection on the buffet and our waiter Mattia was very friendly and attentive. Thanks so much for this amazing service and see you soon!

Visited 1751 for my daughters birthday! The meal and service was amazing , Bart was exceptional and everyone enjoyed the meal! Will definitely be back again.

We had a great time, with a good atmosphere, good food and great service from Mariano. Definitely recommend

Breakfast had been great, the place was fantastic and the service was very nice. A special thanks to Mariano and Its suggestions

Very nice place to eat and drink. They also make their own gins to see the distillery. Top it off with nice views of London Bridge.

Very enjoyable dinner with my fiance, good selection of cocktails (and mocktails) and very friendly staff. Big shout out to the bald barman. Was an artist making the cocktails

Had the best breakfast of london with lovely people and also had the warm greeting with kushal he showed the breakfast and helped me with my food because im vegetarian and their was a lot of option in it.

Have eaten here a few times now and has been great each time. Can personally recommend the halloumi to start and the fillet steak. So good!

Everything is just great. The staff here are very friendly. The food is just right and everywhere is well lit and clean . Also staff came around to make sure I was satisfied with whatever I was having and was comfortable too.

I have a great time in 1751 restaurants and really love the breakfast here because they serve a variety of food in the morning they start at 6.30 in the morning and have breakfast till 12 in afternoon I love the omelette kaisa made and had a warm welcome from kushal and he is the best and fastest guy in the whole restaurant I just saw him doing the work really good I like to check food properly and their wasnt anything to point out! because this guy the is the perfect man! And he does his job really well love for him

Amazing food, one of the best places I've eaten in London!

Met colleagues here for a business meeting. The team helpfully found quiet table for us, love the decor and ambience. Took a while for someone to take our order but folks arrived quickly. Had the club sandwich. Good size portion but the chicken was really...

A magnificent restaurant from the place, the food and the best thing is the attention, in London an unmissable place to visit, the young Fabian and Donny served me, they greatly improved the experience, the best fish and chips in all of London.

We went in 1751 restaurant and it was the best experience ever the food have a really good standers it taste really good i definitely come back leonardo was a really good server he attended us and it was really attentive thank you so much

Si vas a Londres este es un restaurante que debes conocer, no solo por su excelente ubicación cerca a tower bridge sino por su servicio, con esta ya suman 3 veces en las que he ido, cuentan con un equipo calificado que te hará sentir...

The Chicken Supreme and the stake was wonderful. The service was exceptional as well(Thank you Leo).

A nice place to hang out in The City. Menu could be better but rest is good.

If you go to London this is a restaurant that you should know, not only for its excellent location near Tower Bridge but also for its service, with this there are already 3 times that I have been there, they have a qualified team that will make you feel the best experience, because they are always attentive and willing to help, if you are a tourist and you still do not speak English very well, you should not worry because the team speaks several languages, including Spanish, like Leonardo, who helped me choose the best option when choosing The menu for me and my son, I recommend the chicken supreme, the meat, pizza and the typical London dish of fish and chips, delicious!!!! I hope to return soon, excellent place to go with family, as a couple or simply to enjoy a good coffee or wine.

This restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Hilton Tower Bridge Hotel in London. It has a contemporary vibrant decor, nice vibe and atmosphere. I was here a lot for breakfast every time l stayed at this Hilton hotel. Lovely spot for people...

Sami gave us a wonderfully warm welcome as we arrived without a reservation to enjoy a few drinks for my Mum’s birthday. We had a cake and he kindly brought our plates and a knife. The cocktails were awesome, he’s a superb barman, and at the end he brought us boxes to take the remaining cake home. A top lad, at a top bar.

We were staying at the hotel. As a Diamond member for Hilton we were given the opportunity to eat in the executive lounge or the restaurant. We chose the 1751 and are glad we did. For a buffet the food was excellent, Made to order...

Had a pre theatre lunch. Good food, good service, we'd go again.
