Be At One - Islington in Islington

Best time of my life on Saturday

Very very lovely place, sick tasty drinks too. Very friendly staff especially Paradise and Olly

Don’t think I’ve ever had such good customer service I come in here weekly and the bartenders are absolutely amazing at their job memorising and making multiple drinks at once . Also extremely kind and I also feel safe in there

Paradise was fantastic, she is s able to read guest, thank you so much for your focus and service. C

I am writing to express my profound disappointment following an incident that occurred on 29.03.2025 at your establishment, Be at One, located at 12 Upper Street, Islington. My friend and I experienced the following: • We ordered two Negronis from a bartender who, notably, was wearing a nose piercing. Instead of our expected drinks, we received two gin and tonics. • Upon informing her that our original order was for two Negronis, she proceeded to make an additional two Negronis. • When we attempted to clarify our order, the bartender raised her voice, displaying a hostile attitude by shouting and using inappropriate language. • Our efforts to explain that our order consisted solely of two Negronis were in vain, leading us to request the presence of a manager. • The manager arrived and cancelled the two gin and tonic orders; however, the bartender continued to shout at us. • Rather than resolving the conflict, the manager sided with his protege and instructed us to leave the establishment without our drinks. Furthermore, I was left with the impression that there is an inappropriate personal relationship between the bartender and the manager, which appears to have influenced their unprofessional behavior and created a clear conflict of interest. This incident has marred our evening, and we did not anticipate such treatment. I trust that you will take the necessary measures to ensure that such situations do not occur in the future.

Really good drinks but way to loud music. It was difficult for people to speak

Olly was a star, went above and beyond to make our experience 11/10. 100% recommend

Be At One always delivers - special shoutout to Rhys who is the best mixologist 💫

Different from the other bars nearby but totally awesome!

Great service and the bartenders are amazing

The atmosphere in this club is perfect and the vibes are out of this world

Valentine was great, amazing service

Amazing!!! Valentino is the absolute best manager there is at b@1 Islington

I had a lovely evening here, David served us and he was great, will come again!

* Nice Place To Enjoy For A Moment Same Food & Drink

The service was very friendly, but unfortunately, we had an unpleasant experience. We ordered shots of Jameson, but after drinking them, we realized that the contents of the bottle were not authentic. We are both working in specialist whisky bars and perfectly know how Jameson tastes like. Whatever was in the bottle was definitely not Jameson; the liquid was sweet and fruity. Refilling bottles in this day and age is a very poor move. Please pay attention to what your staff is doing, because deceiving customers with such simple and well-known drinks is just foolishness.

Came to Be At One, Islington, to celebrate my son's 20th birthday. Five of us enjoyed an array of lovely cocktails during happy hour. All the staff were lovely. David was particularly attentive and helpful when I had a query. Highly recommend for the start to a great evening out.

Great cocktails love the menu, I'm definitely going back to this place before I leave

Classic be at one atmosphere which is a vibe in itself! Was quite busy but served very quickly, GM Reece friendly and up for a good time - perfect place

5 STAR BAR. PERIOD. Why you should make this a regular spot?` HERE ARE 5 REASONS: 1. DELCIOUS COCKTAILS. Every time I get a drink from the menu, my taste buds burst into fireworks from how well the drink satisfies my mouth. The ideal balance of alcohol and flavour is generous enough that one glass can get you jumping and starting off your time here well. Great selection of drinks and menus do change (unsure of frequency), but i assure you there is something for everyone, and their switch ups of the menu will guarantee you never get bored. 2. SEXY & FRIENDLY STAFF. Who doesn't want a drink with a view? There are very easy going people behind the bar who I have become acquainted with. They will have a friendly chat with you if it isn't too busy while serving you respectfully, so you actually get treated like a human being, contrary to other bars and pubs I have been too. They communicate well and are very attentive. I manage to go in without saying a word as they have picked up on my favourite drink ( I get the same one every time). This tells me that they pay attention and get to know their customers, which I would say is top customer service. 3. AFFORDABLE Reasonably priced cocktails for around a tenner, and downloading the app gives you access to their flagship deal they have (2 for 1). What more can you ask for? Affordability for tasty cocktails 1st class cocktails is what the inventor of a bargain would classify as value for money. 4. VIBES & ATOMSPHERE. Music definitely makes or breaks a place, but somehow they know how to get it right. Pop tunes for the mainstreamers, hip hop and R&B for the party people, throwback 2000 songs for the nostalgia squad, and shockingly alternative/soft rock for the cool kids. You can catch staff turning up with you, on the tables, or behind the bar while simultaneously serving you heaven in a glass (cocktails). Talented staff are able to perform tricks like they are at a circus, such as juggling and crazy impressive drink pouring. Weekends are the days where it gets busy and wild, so for the social, party people, i would say come in Saturday or/and Sunday. 5. SOCIAL MEDIA CERTIFIED If you haven't checked out the "Be at One Islington" social media, you should, especially Instagram and Tik Tok. They have gone viral many times as the masses recognise the talent and high quality of the bar at hand. Insta pages like "I'm just bait" reposted their content, which shows national recognition for what I would say is the best "Be at One" branch. These reasons have converted me into a regular, and I hope you will be too. Special shout-out to the hardworking team behind the bar David, Paradise, Reece, Blerta, and Cameron. They make the experience of going to the bar so much better and i have never seen workers in this field so dedicated and interactive. Even under extreme stress, they perform their duties, are patient with customers, and serve drinks promptly. Proud repeat customer !

Bartender David was really good at servicing us. We will definitely be coming again. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the way you were with us, very accommodating.

Cameron was a brilliant bartender, kind and friendly!! Definitely coming back

Came down for work drinks and couldn’t be more happy with the service! Cameron and David were amazing, catered to all and were very accommodating! Be At One is the PLACE for HEAVENLY COCKTAILS! Thank you both!!!!

Great place. Valentine in particular had exceptional customer service and drink making skills to match

Lovely guys and excellent service. Valentin especially was lovely.

We have a few Old fashioned which was really nice. If you are looking for cocktails that's your place!

Attended the Islington branch not too long ago on the 13th June this year with a friend before a nearby concert going on. Staff on that was great, definitely made myself and my friend feel welcomed.

Great cocktails, amazing vibe and lovely staff!! Definitely will be back

Always a good time and the drinks were great!! The staff were so friendly!! Reece the manager was such a laugh 😆 also… 2-4-2 👀👀

Valentin was so amazing and accommodating ! Definitely will be back. A good Tuesday night out

Good vibes and good drinks highly recommend if you wanna have a good time, especially good vibe from the bartender Valentino

I when last night in Be At One Isligton and is a great bar with friendly staff and tasty cocktails. The happy hour deals are fantastic. The general manager Rhys is super cool and he look after you in amazing way Perfect for a fun night out!

Great service from Valentino and David. Great atmosphere

Davide was brilliant! Recommende!

Great place to meet for drinks, great drinks and great service

I've been to this Be at One multiple times and I've never had a bad experience. In fact, I've always had a great time. Great drinks, great offers in the happy hour, and the staff are always amazing. I've been going for the past 4-5 years, and the staff have changed but have always been great and the current line up are amazing. Always creating a fun night out.

Valentin and Paradise are the best

Best place in London! The staff is the best I can’t even tell you!!! Totally recommend!

I was incredibly disappointed by the senseless rule prohibiting football shirts at Be At One in Islington. After a delightful afternoon spent at The Fox on the Green, another Stonegate Group property, where no such restrictions were imposed, it was frustrating to encounter this arbitrary policy. It's baffling that two venues under the same ownership can have such inconsistent rules. This really marred what could have been an enjoyable continuation of my day out. Stonegate Group needs to rethink these contradictory and unnecessary regulations.

I was there at one and it was shut. Jokes aside, we somehow managed to enjoy a 2-4-1 cocktail experience all night, which greatly pleased my compatriot and Québécois nationalist Sebastien (with an e). The drink-making process was slightly slow, but when you're blessed with a 2-4-1 deal, what can you do but enjoy the show? I'll be back as soon as I'm released from Pentonville, I can't wait!

Paradise, valentin and Cameron gave us the best experience ever, the customer experience was amazing

Went for a few drinks with girls. Booked table in advance but was plenty space. Went for 745ish after food. Service with smiles and free drink with a code there. Lots of ice in drinks but they were happy to reduce. Music was great and smalls groups dancing. Defo a live place to be after 10.
