I went to this restaurant in Covent Garden with friends for dinner over the weekend, and we all loved the drinks—such a great selection. The vibe was amazing, especially the jazz music, which was so good that we got totally lost in it. If you’re looking for a place to chill on the weekend, this bar is definitely a must!

This was one of my favourite spots when it was in Farringdon and it still remains as one of my faves now that it’s moved to Covent Garden, they’ve managed to keep the speakeasy style as before. The cocktails are out of this world! The waiters are amazing and more than happy to talk you through the cocktail menu. The live music is just the cherry on the top 👌

I had high hopes for this place but was utterly disappointed. I booked a table for two and when we arrived we were taken to the bar. Luckily we got another table in the end. The cocktails were unfortunately quite awful and people were definitely not there to listen to the jazz band.

Stunning venue, fabulous music (danced all night), and staff that go out of their way to make you comfortable. Pricey but worth it. The cocktails are deliciously dangerous. Well that 👆was 8 years and many, many, MANY happy visits ago. My partner and I were crestfallen when Smithfields Oriole closed, and I admit I was sceptical that they could ever even come close with a second iteration. But by golly they’ve done it- it feels just like the old Oriole- if anything slightly enhanced! The same fabulous wallpaper, even comfier seating, attentive service, dazzlingly elegant design, the same atmospheric and evocative vintage bands, the menu has actually expanded and is superb, and now they even have outdoor seating in the calm oasis of Slingsby Place, hidden amidst the madness of Covent Garden. I’m planning my next trip with my five best girlfriends, glad rags and cocktails. If you thought you’d missed out when it closed, it really is back- new and improved, if possible. The team behind this can do no wrong IMO 👏👏👏

This is a fantastic little place with beautiful food and a real charming and cozy atmosphere. Great for a date night or friends who want to enjoy some live music and good food. The mushroom starter was heaven!! The ceviche was nice and sour and packed with flavor and my main trout was beautiful. Everything was delicious. Was really tempted to try the dessert if I wasn’t so full 😆 the cocktails tho were hit and miss. I had a mocktail with guava which I ask to add liquor and it was nice but a the blend side. However my friend ordered the one with peanut butter and it was delicious! Overall loved it and will defo come back

We booked this as we went to Oriele in Farringdon a couple years back and loved it. When I booked I couldn’t find the Farringdon one online. The staff were attentive and resolved or upset by taking the cocktails off our bill without us needing to ask. The food was nice; we had the chickpea fried and the bread with cured meat. The decor is nice enough but the setting is really strange. It’s not like a usual cosy cocktail vibe. It’s a strange complex in central London and it almost feels a bit “officey”. There wasn’t live music when we were there at 10pm - I assume it’s much earlier. We asked if they could do us mezcal margaritas, which they did. What we received was (to me) undrinkable and awful. I could taste a peach flavour, I had three sips to try figure it out and had to stop because it tasted like it had gone bad. When I asked they said they don’t use Cointreau (fair enough most top quality cocktails don’t) but instead they use a fermented peach liqueur. Why they hadn’t told us this to begin with we don’t know. Basically they don’t do classics, only their own takes on them. After how awful our cocktail was, I felt too nervous to order any others as they all had odd combinations. My husband and I have travelled extensively, we always visit interesting and experimental cocktail bars, we have tried so many different and interesting combinations most recommended by the staff and also often classics (because we love margaritas), and we have never not once had a cocktail that was undrinkable or tasted like it had done bad. Something is not right here. It was upsetting because we’d had such a lovely night and we’d booked this as our ending off. Overall an extremely disappointing experience. Whilst I am happy they took the cocktails off the bill without asking, we wouldn’t have chosen to eat there. I would have preferred not to have paid anything and not to have visited at all.

What a wonderful little cocktail bar! Just like a good cocktail, it leaves you wanting more and it’s so very fitting that this is just the warmup to the opening. Prelude has a lovely cozy vibe and atmosphere with very enjoyable live music. The cocktails are marvellous and I especially appreciated the personal touch of them making me a unique non-alc one. The service in general is really spectacular, attentive and friendly in a genuine way. Jacob & Marco are wonderful. I was also surprised by the food - I particularly recommend the sando. In a city as crowded by cocktail bars as London, it takes something special to stand out and Prelude by Oriole has it. I cannot wait until the grand opening itself!

My happy place and the best dirty martini in town! Highly recommend you go for the oyster happy hour and stay for everything else. Unfortunately they do have a staff issue (everyone is new as they have a high turnover), all my favourites have moved on, which is such a shame - they really made you feel like family and gave that added service that made me go back every week/month! Service is a let down but, who can be sad whilst sitting on a sunny rooftop with an oyster in one hand a dirty martini in another!

I have been in the Oriole bar twice (before and after the pandemic). I always like the contrast between the dodgy-looking outdoor context within the same building of the Smithfield market (but not actually dodgy) and the Oriole bar location. The bouncer at the door was a bit cold but I think it is the speak-easy concept of the bar trying to keep the vibe as a secret place. The location is very lovely and calm designed as a warm place with some inspiration from Japanese interiors. I was sitting on a table in the small corner beyond the counter and I thought that was a kind bit more private area but it was next to the waiters' hub and close to the gents' toilet (but was not actually very annoying). I would suggest as to ask for the tables right next to the entrance on the small podium in case you want the quietest spot. The cocktail menu is a very nice list to explore, I had one from the menu, the D'arrigo, which was nice and well presented (I love the cocktails with the one single big chunky ice cube) and a Negroni that was perfectly executed! Service was very good but a tiny little bit too pressing from different members of the staff, I'd rather prefer one single person following for the whole evening. There was live music with a single piano-voice artist playing classic piano bar hits. I really appreciated the staff members met greetings me on my way out. The bill was a bit pricy (£63 for 4 drinks and service charge) but considering the entire experience I think it's within the high average band, and actually worth the entire experience. I would definitely come back again.

Until recently this was a bar called The Cock Tavern which severed the workers of Smithfield Market when their shift were done and this a very poor replacement. On the face of this bar should do well - great historic location, lots of punters leaving restaurant wanting a few more drinks but it misses the mark so badly. Doorman - huge fuss about getting in ‘have you booked, we’re busy tonight’ lots of radio back and forth with the ‘management’. When finally allowed in the place is half empty?!?! Service and drinks I was wondering how to use my powers of invisibility it took so long to be served! When I was served I ordered an Old Fashioned - simple standard cocktail that they decided to insert a shot of port and top with a brownie. Keep the basics basics!! Cover charge - we took friends visiting from the US , who just wanted to stay a little longer and chat _and not drink - but we’re slapped with a £6 ‘cover charge’ for the music?? It’s a long time since I have seen a cover charge All in all it’s a bit of tourist trap that is in the wrong part of London. It has the potential to be a really great late night spot but has missed the mark and misjudged the typical Smithfield customers Sorry to say, I won’t be back Ps out ad a party of 7 only 4 people had a drink and 50% of tue bill was a cover charge

I visited this bar with my sister after having thoroughly enjoyed the drinks at its sister bar Nightjar. The drinks at Oriole did not disappoint - the menu was extensive and well-researched, with lots of unique options that it was tricky to pick! We both loved the drinks we selected. The live music was really enjoyable too, however we were seated at a table right in front of the live music so it was difficult for us to speak to one another whilst the music was playing. Additionally (and this is the reason I did not give it more stars), we were not made aware until the bill came around that we were charged a cover fee of an additional £10pp. Were we to know, we may have ordered differently. It is a reasonable fee to pay, however we strongly wish we were told about this in advance.

I’m from Toronto but next time I come to London I am coming back. I came alone but all the staff made me feel so welcome. Everyone was so lovely. I came early and they accommodated for me, got a seat right in front of the stage. Now the drinks were absolutely incredible. I enjoy going to different bars a lot but Oriole really had some of the most innovative flavour combinations I have had in a very long time. I also really loved that they had an edible garnish with their drinks. I tried the Reunion and Daintree Collins and was recommended the Acadia. And oh wow the Acadia was so lovely. Definitely never expected to like peanut butter in my drink. Not to mention the live band was great. Anyways, long story short, would definitely recommend it here.

Kind of amazing that this place has still got the same shine it had when it opened 10 years ago. The cocktail menu is of course the star and most cocktails are liquid delights without being overwrought. The ambiance is more comfortable and less themey as it has worn in. They serve a limited range of food which is on par with the better restaurants in the area.

Cocktails are on the pricey side but the experience was top-notch, with a fantastic live band performing from 9pm. Hands down to Axel who was the most professional and entertaining waiter 🙌🏻

Was lucky enough to get a spot without a reservation. The food and drink offerings were exceptional! But the staff was even more impressive. Friendly, helpful, enthusiastic.

This is a grab-n-go sandwich shop at John Islip Street that is perfect if you want a reasonably priced, quickly prepared sandwich that you can take-away or eat at a nearby park while out and about in the Pimlico area of the city. Opening hours are 7am to 3.30pm (weekdays), 10am to 3pm (Sat), closed on Sunday. I stopped here midday, there was a bit of a queue but all moved rather fast. Place order at the counter and they will prepare your sandwich and have you on your way soon after. Tuna melt with lettuce and tomato was pretty good and reasonably priced. Would gladly stop by again based on this experience.

This feels like small family business and it's a great fit for breakfast and coffee. Food is great, people are pleasant, but it's unbelieveably tiny and it ruins the experience if you are knocking someone out constantly with your elbow while trying to eat. Just when you think the place is full and get kind of used to it - four people walk in and they are seated in the already non-existent space. Too bad...

Beautiful setting, service was incredibly fast and served with a smile 🤭. Would recommend their speciality hot chocolate. This is a must try in Notting Hill

I was curious about this bar. The reviews and articles made it seem like my thing. I found it a rather unfortunate waste of time and money. Normally, the lighting in bars isn't that big of a deal for me. I love a dark, moody spot. But, I mean, this is Claridge's. It just appeared as if someone forgot to pay the lecky or flip on the switches at the beginning of their shift. What a disappointment. And it's not dark and sultry like a secret cigar and gin bar from the Prohibition era. It's just plain dark. You can't even fully appreciate the décor and design. It didn't create mood; it killed it. Reading the menu is a fun exercise in figuring out how bad your eyesight is, and if you're at the age yet to pull out a mobile phone light to read. (That said, the menu is quite nice. I liked how it was organised and seemed to make good sense.) [The photos I have posted are heavily edited to lighten them, except one and even that has my phone adjusting automatically for low light.] The drinks were like water. Again, I am aware of the standard pricing in these establishments and was fully prepared for it. However, I want to at least taste a little bit of alcohol, even in a long drink. I want to taste *something* other than soda water and lemon. I barely even got a hint of ginger -- in a Penicillin riff! Instead, what I feel like I received was a £25 lemon La Croix poured into a glass. There are similar luxury hotel bars that manage to create good value experiences. This just isn't one of them. The atmosphere was off, the drinks were laughably childish, and the vibes were dull. The server was okay, but again, nothing special. When I'm at Claridge's, I want special. Otherwise, what's the point?
