Old Bengal Bar in City of London, Westminster

definitely recommend — great cocktails, impeccable service and cozy atmosphere. our waiter was very attentive and the service was very fast and friendly. it’s so often that you get uninteresting watered-down cocktails in london but this place had so many options and every one we tried we loved!

Awesome venue for dinner Great place for office parties or fine dining

Lovely food (Truffle chips are amazing), nice drinks and very expensive.

We had an amazing evening with my family. From the beginning to the end service was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful and the food was so delicious and tasty. Definitely recommend for a great night out.

A bit overpriced and a longvway down

The place is decent for having drinks, but unfortunately, that's the only good thing about it. The food is terrible, I could barely eat it as it tasted so awful and made me feel sick afterwards. The service wasn't friendly, in fact, it was a bit abrupt. To top it off, the prices are high. Overall, I wouldn't recommend going to this place.

Amazing spot for cocktails! Would absolutely recommend this place to have a great night out. Food is also delicious! Cant wait to go again

Amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Miguel was very helpful and advised well on few options when it came to the drinks menu. Highly recommended.

Surprisingly quiet place given the location and the day (went on a Saturday evening) but i liked my experience here. Quiet, intimate, and tasteful

Came here for pre Christmas drinks with a couple of friends and was warmly greeted by Miguel the bar manager who made sure our evening went well. We ordered a couple of beers as well as a variety of tasty cocktails. All the staff where very friendly and each one greeted us when walking passed. The venue it self is very beautiful with warm lighting and very spacious seating areas. Will definitely come back here for drinks and a meal.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and brilliant drinks. Definitely will be recommending!

Their Google Account was showing there is a happy hour until 6PM, but when I got there they said they don't do it anymore! Update your info next time!

We went there as a group of friends before our Christmas dinner, booked in Devonshire Square. Given all of us were from Bengal in India, the name attracted us. The place is nice and feels chic. We sat in the garden and there are heaters and blankets. The service though is abysmal. We had simple order of drinks. The server was very cocky. First he took some time to take the order. Then an after some time rather than serving drinks, came back with the bill. We paid the bill. However he said we had to pay the discretionary service charge also upfront. We did not want to spoil our party mood and agreed to pay that too - delaying the service. It took some more time for the drinks to come - and strangely while all the drinks were ordered as doubles, only singles portion sizes were delivered. We asked the server if they were doubles and he confirmed that they were doubles. We had to speak to the bar manager, and it was obvious they were singles. The bar manager was very apologetic but the server was like don’t worry we will give you some free chips, with no hint of apology. Mistakes may happen but it is the right attitude that matters. We left soon after as no one wanted a second drink at the bar. It looked like a good place but the service did suck especially when you try to swindle customers.

We went for a drink and service was good.

Magnificent experience Very good food and great, very welcoming staff

Booked a reservation for a group of 12 after seeing the very positive reviews. When I initially called they said it would be difficult to fit us in, but when we arrived it was mostly empty yet they didn’t have any seating set up for our group. They said this was because I hadn’t specified if we wanted to sit inside or outside, bearing in mind it’s end of October it would be quite odd to book weeks in advance to sit outside… Booked it for the cocktail hour which they said they no longer do, but it’s still on their website so they kindly honored it. We were asked if we wanted water but never received it. Rushed over from another venue but wish we’d stayed there instead, there are plenty of better bars in the area.

Super leuke bar, modern interieur, zalige cocktails, een aanrader!

A rather small bar connected to New Street Grill. They have comfortable sofa seating. When we visited on Saturday early evening it was quite empty. We stayed for one drink before leaving for dinner. The service was adequate.

Zeer modern , warm interieur om wat tijd te spenderen. Geweldige cocktails, we zijn fan. Mooi assortiment aan eten, zeer verzorgd. Het oogde allemaal mooi en het was ook even lekker. Doe zo voort.

Super endroit ! Le service est impeccable et la nourriture de qualité ! Un chouette endroit où il faut s’arrêter.

Stunning interior. Really enjoyed The New Street Garden - Tanqueray 10 Gin mixed with Elderflower Cordial, mint, lime andcucumber, topped with Fever Tree Tonic. Surely will be back to try more cocktails!

First to start off with quality of food which is really average. We have ordered two burgers from the menu (which doesn’t give you a lot of main choice at all!) and my GF asked for no relish and fresh onions as she is allergic to that. The waitress literally confirmed 3 times no onions. 15min wait, burgers coming, guess what? Onions are in my GFs burger. Had to wait another 15min for food. I do not eat alone and waited for my GFs burger with no onions to arrive and then had to “enjoy” my cold burger. The menu clearly states there is a bacon in burger but there was non inside the burger? Then another waiter came and brought us a pie which we haven’t ordered, placed it on table without saying anything and then 2 min later took it away in silence? We didn’t really get that which was really unprofessional. When placing an order for Rum plus coke they didn’t confirm if I want original one or dirty or zero? I might have low insulin resistance or diabetes 2, its not a big deal but still gives an impression about attention to clients details. To sum up everything was way too expensive considering the quality of food and service plus service charge was like 13% which is not a tiny amount of money for a poor service. Wont visit again and wont recommend you visiting.

The service was 5stars. Very welcoming, the atmosphere is nice. Went out with friends for a couple of drinks. Manuele was the star of the night great costumer service, very attentive from the beginning until the end. The drinks were amazing. Thank you for your professionalism. For sure I recommend and will be back.

We dropped in here on the off chance after wandering past-never even new it was there and i've lived in London my whole life! We were immediately acknowledged and sat down. The décor is lovely and the staff are great especially Manuele who treated us like the only customers in the bar. I had a Red Blossom which was divine! my husband had an El Salvador which he loved and he's more of a beer guy! I cannot fault this place or the cocktails. And Manuele is a star-very friendly and welcoming and we will definitely go back.

Lovely service by Manuele. Will come back.

Lovely drink at the Old Bengal Bar today, delicious glass of Nyetimber and fantastic service from Manuele, his great service and personality improved our visit immensely!

Discourteous staff. Rude at times. Removed your drinks when not looking. Very unhelpful Great venue but staff need training in Customer Relations.

We went for a few drinks during the week and the cocktails were great, the wine was lovely and Manuele's service was excellent, he was very attentive and lots of fun!

We had really amazing experience and me and my friends enjoyed the dinner! Food was really fresh, tasty and delicious. The wine and cocktails recommended were really great. I would highly recommend it!

Manuele provided us with fantastic service and was a great host. The food was fantastic (our well done & medium rare burgers!) and the Sauvignon recommendation was also lovely. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Manuele!

Amazing cocktails. Gorgeous outdoor seating. Brilliant bar staff 🍹

Lovely place, lovely staff, Manuele is the man if you need some suggestions and a great chat 👌🏽 p.s. rum selection is class if that's your thing.

The service here was outstanding. Our waiter Manuele was very friendly and ensured we happy and had what we wanted before the last glass was empty. The fig proseco gets my thumbs up too.

Beautiful spot! But get there on time for dinner or you’ll be stuck at the bar having drinks only- which is actually a good time because they have a DJ so the bar area doubles up as a dance floor. The staff are lovely and guests are super friendly- you may end up on the dance floor having a good time with strangers, which is always a fun!

Friends and I had drinks here. Brilliant ambience, they have a heated outdoor space too. Lovely cocktails and the food was scrumptious. Definitely try the Salmon Bellini. But what really was great about this place was the manager, Manuelle. What a gentleman and great conversationist. We had some issues with our table, which he immediately sorted and was a brilliant host the whole night. Would definitely recommend this place for speakeasy drinks and nibbles night, as there is music, but you can also actually hear each other talk without getting that scratchy throat the next day! 10/10.

I met a few friends for drinks and we had such a lovely time We were looked after by the wonderful Manuele! He was super attentive and made sure we had a wonderful time Will definitely visit again !!

Very good cocktails, and our server Manuele was lovely!

First time visiting here after a friend arranged some leaving drinks. Lovely cocktails and drinks, staff were great and accommodating. Great venue, special thanks to Manuele!

Great venue with good selection of drinks!

The mocktail I has was amazing. Food was even better. Great vibes and really nice staff. Would definitely come again and recommend to family and friends.

Do yourself a favor and visit this unique cocktail bar and restaurant. The service is unmatched, the atmosphere is very vibrant and the staff were not only accommodating but they truly care about your experience. Had a great laugh with Manuel

Found this bar to have a drink after dinner and was very glad to have. Fantastic place, great atmosphere, quality drinks and really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend it for a night out and a great place to impress!

Nice atmosphere, comfy seats and great cocktails made by a friendly barman Manuele. We had fun, we'll be back for sure.

Great spot, especially for dates. Went there with my gf on a Friday night and had a couple of cocktails. Excellent service from Manuele.

Amazing evening here, it was my first time but Manuel who looked after us made me feel like it was already my local! He suggested each cocktail, (with only my very poor examples of what I think I like as I really don’t have or know much about cocktails😅) and all 3 were as insane as they looked! Soo refreshing and pure to have staff that care and ensured we were having a great night. Thank you

Visited for pre dinner cocktails and had a great time. Comfy seating. Friendly staff and some very enjoyable drinks.

Manuele, Leo and Gabord always make me feel special. Friendly and attentive service as always. I couldn't recommend them enough.💚💛🖤✊🏿

Came for a couple of drinks with my friend. We hadn’t booked a table but Emmanuelle was able to squeeze us in. Being indecisive, I asked him to choose our drinks and he presented us with some beautiful cocktails. The service was warm and welcome, we’ll definitely be back again.

Very nice place. The food is very good and the service is excellent.

Manuele has been absolutely amazing tonight. We had a collaboration event between our two companies and manuele made sure we were perfectly provided for. Thank you Manuele!

A very great place to drink something! Amazing cocktails and lovely service!

A great spot! Lovely outdoor area under fairy lights & greenery. Nice and chilled but a stone's throw from liverpool st. Manuele suggested some fun & delicious cocktails and was generally hilarious.. Will definitely pop back when in the area

Five star service manuele was the best assistant manager great service great drink 5 stars

Went with a friend for a simple chill meeting. What a surprise! Enrico the bartender serve us a earthy fizz that was amazing so I need to order twice! And amazing old fashion that was superb! We also have the pleasure to meet the assistant manager Manuel! Great person! We feel like home! 100% recommended! Quality of the cocktail 10/10! Customer service outstanding as well! So come! You don gonna regret!

Google advert and listing is deceiving, the place doesn't have everything on the listing!!!

This bar is right next to Liverpool Street station. The ambience is very nice, the staff is very helpful and friendly as well. They have some very creative and nice cocktails, plus other drinks as well. We had a reservation, so we were immediately seated at our table. The bar is big and spacious, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend!

Really a nice place, the food was so good and not expensive and it’s in front of Liverpool station, the only negative thing for me is the list of the wine, little poor. Vittoria the receptionist is very friendly.

Really nice experience! From the ambience to the staff! Cozy and awesome cocktails! Friendly staff! Will definitely be back!!

Great bar with a decent drinks menu, comfy sofas and mirrored interior. Will be back!

Really great but closed a tad early for my liking on a Friday night. The outdoor area is very spacious (and heated) and the cigar menu was a nice touch.

Had a fabulous evening with family and friends for my birthday. Food was lovely 👌

Great place, really liked the venue

Some very fancy cocktails with smoke.

I had a gin cocktail called sweet flower and my friend had a rum cocktail light but stormy. We shared the individually ordered light bites of mini burgers and fried squid. Absolute heaven. I recommend mine for a refreshing hot day and having a sip of my friends the rum pineapple lime and ginger ale gave a warm glow which I'd have on a chilly night. We will be back. It made a wonderful end to the perfect day in London.

Loved this place. Went for Sunday lunch. Food excellent, drinks excellent, service outstanding! Looking forward to going back!

We really enjoyed our social in the terrace of the bar. Excellent cocktails and delicios food! Highly recommended.

Me and my girlfriend went here for some evening drinks, the service was amazing and the bartenders so friendly. The atmosphere was great and we were very comfortable. We had a great time I’d encourage everyone to go here!

Great venue! Amazing service by Fabio and Valerio,will be back soon!

Beautiful decor inside and out. Delicious but affordable cocktails (highly recommend The Evil Kiss). Very good service and clean toilets.

Nice outside drinking area. Popped in as the pub opposite was closed

In the past pre-covid, it was a lovely place. Good inside and outside space, friendly helpful staff, nice cocktails, delicious snacks (truffle macaroni balls!). Sadly in this covid time we all sat outside at socially distanced tables. Still a nice place.

Pre Covid this was our go to place for post work drinks. Love the outdoor seating area, service is excellent (Fabio and Lucy always there to top you up) and the food although a small menu always hits the spot. Love this place!

Some of the best cocktails in the city and I've been to a lot of places. The drinks are really creative and the staff are super knowledgeable!

I visited this bar during ‘The Beatrice Inn New York’ takeover and enjoyed some fabulous cocktails. ‘Flaming Lips’ with mandarin and ginger notes was particularly up my street. I thought the vibe was great, the cocktails are crafted with care, the crispy calamari bar snack was ok but nothing special. I would certainly return.

Had a glass of fizz here waiting for friends. Nice bar, great atmosphere albeit quite noisy. Staff very friendly

Great bar, friendly and knowledgable bar staff, great atmosphere

Lovely drinks, food and really friendly staff

Very nice service and tasty cocktails! And they are for a reasonable price!

I booked the Old Bengal Bar for an after work event for approx. 30 people. For my initial inquiry everything was top class, the event was booked with ease, with a fantastic finger food menu on offer which is what we requested with loads of choice. The service on the night and the quality of food, wine/drinks and atmosphere was excellent, will definitely be booking here again. Thank you!

We wanted to do something big for my husband’s 40th and it needed to be in the Liverpool Street/Bank area for ease of access for everyone. Looked at a few venues but this one didn’t feel “corporatey” like some of the others and the staff were quick to respond to queries by email. In fact I arranged the whole thing by email and always got prompt and useful responses. Prices were pretty comparable to other venues and the exclusive use was a big selling point. They were flexible and accommodating. On the night the venue looked fab, the staff were fantastic and the food was really high quality. I wish the weather had been slightly warmer as the outdoor area looked beautiful. We were able to just plug in an iPad with our own playlist. Numerous guests commented on the style of the venue, the quality of the food and the excellent service. The party was a huge success. I could not believe how easy the whole thing was from my perspective and wouldn’t hesitate to hire the bar again.

Tiene asientos externos con asientos de lana blanca y es ideal para cenar o para fumadores. El bar es una sala rectangular con iluminación de gas de imitación y una pared espejada en un extremo donde se encuentra el caballero. Los asientos son principalmente cómodos asientos tipo sofá de punta a punta. Hay una buena variedad de bebidas, incluidas algunas cervezas de barril inusuales. Un lugar agradable, tranquilo y agradable.

Great service and heated outside garden area

Beautiful Chic Bar- be prepared to have a beautiful cocktail or selection of the tap beers / gin selection. Beautiful fur style table and chairs to dine in, very comfortable surroundings but be prepared to pay a premium.

Nice low key cocktail bar very close to Liverpool Street station.

Place has a great vibe in the heart of the city, had to sit outside because a lot of tables were reserved. Sitting outside was fine because it was heated pretty well, they offered table service which was a plus point 👌🏻

Great atmosphere and staff the pop up I had was le bun and thoroughly enjoyed their food

I have really thought about what to say regarding my experience at the Old Bengal Bar. I celebrated my 21st birthday there and it was, in short, the best evening I think me and my family ever had. Following a lot of stressful planning attempts, I had pretty much given up on the whole thing(!) However, the wonderful Daniela, who I swiftly dubbed my fairy godmother, picked me up and magically sorted the whole thing. From menu suggestions to decorations, she made everything as easy and beautiful as I could have ever wished for. Garlands, photo walls and personalised menus, the team went above and beyond with personal touches to give me, the incredibly lucky girl that I am, the best night they could. Furthermore, the food and drink was sublime. I had a selection of finger food, including chorizo and prawn skewers and truffle arancini to name a couple of my favourites, and I had compliments from friends for weeks after. The evening was truly brilliant and made my weekend so very special. I will always be grateful to the team and cannot enthuse enough about what they did for me - thank you so much x

Great place for a first date.....😉

Todo, desde la comunicación previa al pedido y la planificación detallada, hasta el servicio de camareros y la manera complaciente de los gerentes y todo el personal de la noche fue brillante.Todos mis colegas quedaron impresionados y nos quedamos hasta el cierre, un entorno perfecto para relajarse y sentirnos menos corporativos, sin muchas multitudes.El servicio de comida era escalonado y todo estaba delicioso, y las bebidas siempre estaban frías y se llenaban.Sin duda volveremos, muchas gracias por una gran noche!

A nice but somewhat confused establishment. Sat outside as it was a nice evening. All the cushions were wet on seats which is manageable but not if you sit and get a wet bottom. Not a bad cocktail list. There is a service charge of a couple of quid. Atmosphere isn't really there.. Noise from pub across the road. Could do with some music..

Nice place in the heart of the city, great ambience.

Brilliantly run event with the team at Bengal, we were early and they coped fabulously ensuring we were fed and watered all evening. The food was great and the drinks ideal and good value for money for what we wanted. Highly recommend.

He estado aquí varias veces con amigos y siempre la pasé bien con cócteles bien hechos.

Great place, very friendly staff.

A nice place for a drink and snacks

Excellent service for our outdoor drinks. Interior looked great too. A good bet for drinks and or food. Location super; very close to Liverpool St station

Fantastic food, service good, only issue is space, too many people squeezed into a small area outside. Male toilet small, no big enough for the amount of customers.

Great quirky little spot, excellent G&TS and brilliant location

Reservamos este lugar para mi fiesta de cumpleaños para 90 personas este fin de semana. El servicio que recibimos de Daniela y su personal fue excelente. Toda la organización estuvo libre de estrés y nos tranquilizó en cada paso del camino.

It has a great ambience, very rustic and modern. The staff are friendly and the prices are fair
