Sway in Camden

Great experience for Drag Queens Brunch & Disco. Great music, fantastic service, good fun. 👍

Attended a birthday party, music kept cutting out and the speakers were shockingly bad!! Do not book for private functions. Also security are aggressive and rude

Rarely leave bad reviews but this was just bad. Extremely aggressive security, to whom I was nothing but kind to.Treat you like utter garbage, won’t listen to you, act like they’re top tier fbi agents. Look for a fight and will try to assert their “power” over paying customers. Will push and shove without communicating, trying to look tough. Bad music. Watered down drinks. There’s a million bars in London, won’t be coming back, honestly.

Overpriced drinks and bad service. Fights all night and lack of security. To note, this is for the bollywood event that took place. Not well run at all, 80% guys. Music system has issues too, music kept cutting out at the start of the night where the DJ has to get staff to look into this.

Worst place ever to go to Moroccan security guard was the WORST made me feel like i was not welcome there He was very racist towards there i have videos To show proof that the moroccan security was very disrespectful he told me “to wait for him at his work place at 3am and be said “he will show me what will happen if i waited for him” He said he will kill me So i called police for my protection they said they will deal witj this situation i hope you guys will sort this out for me.

One star because you can't put 0, the useless doorman didn't let us pass 1 min after 1 am.

Excellent place to dance and drink good indian music and resilient crowd.

Delicious food and great service by Adonay - super friendly and efficient - Sea Bream highly recommended

Went to a function held at this venue, good service at the bar, but better air conditioning required

The place had good Bollywood and Punjabi songs. We had a good time until someone in the pub stole my husband's wallet. The pub checks IDs before letting people in, and yet we were robbed within the pub, which is unfortunate. The reason why I do not recommend this place is because of the attitude of the staff, they were not trying to help us at all. My husband and I searched the pub for an hour and later found the wallet thrown on the street outside. Of course, all our cash was taken. London is rife with petty theft and more so in Central London and particularly this pub. I don't blame the staff for not even trying to help us or being nonchalant that a wallet was stolen. Probably, this is how London works, but unfortunately, I am unable to appreciate it.

My wife and I have always loved going to Loop Bar in Bond Street. It is lovely to see some of the old staff from there at Sway Bar! Especially people like Charlie, who has always been very hospitable to us and everyone we ever brought along! Whenever you have staff who are as lovely as her, it makes the experience of visiting more comfortable and enjoyable! Highly recommended!

Had a great time today. Many thanks to Hollie Lawrence for making us so welcome. Be back shortly.

I went to the sway on a quiet day and made sure we had the best time. Giving us amazing service. Kat and Colin made me and my friends our night !!! Anytime is the right time

Kat & Colin have been wonderful through our quick visit, they accommodated us even though it was a quiet night Thank you so much guys!!!

Venue looked closed but Kat and Colin invited us in, well accommodating a group of 5 looking for a nice group of quick drinks.

We went there for a "inclusive party". The security kicked out my friend for no reason. They were very rude and unfriendly and we just were sitting having a drink and talking. The place was empty anyway, is one of the worst clubs I've ever been. The security were bored and looking for something to do and the DJ was the worst. Honestly never come to this club if you want to have a good time

Completely inaccessible. Not even an apology for that fact. Disgusting in this day and age

Worst experience ever. They didnt mention to carry physical IDs. When the whole world’s going digital, they were asking for a physical ID even after showing all the ID’s in the pdfs. Didnt even refund my money. Worst ever!

I was there too late for dinner but i loved the environment

We went Saturday night for a bollywood dance party. It was so much fun although super pricey drinks!

I have to say thank you because at least we could watch the football but the service there is so bad, specially the guys at the door, they were so rude

Hollie was fantastic, thanks so much

Booked Studio 61 for my partner's 30th and it couldn't have gone any better. From the start the booking process and communication was great with Emmanuela. On the day of the event I was welcomed by Hollie who went above and beyond to help me decorate and throughout the night making sure we were good and we had THE BEST barman anyone could ask for, Colen, he was the only one serving our 50 guests in total throughout the night and he got everything right and also brought the vibes with our DJ 🙌 💯 recommend.

fraud they sell the tickets then dont allow people to come inside rude staff

The cocktails are amazing, the atmosphere there is lovely and the stuff is great. We had a nice time and the music was good . Thank you .

The bouncers and security guards here are awful and I've had bad experiences with them more than once. They are extremely aggressive and even violent, they shoved my friend whilst she was wearing heels. They abuse their power and this is extremely unacceptable behaviour on every level

A great place to go for after work drinks 🍻 Their happy hour cocktails are unrivaled l, price wise, and actually quite yummy. It can be a bit quiet during the week, which is either a good thing if you want to be able to hear yourself and chat (which is what I want), or not so good if you're looking to party on a week day. I've enjoyed the music and the food has been tasty. If the place is busy, service can take ages but that's London for you. Shout out to Colin this evening who made me and my friend delicious cocktails and who was very friendly.

What a night ! Had great food great drinks and all the staff were helpful and amazing. The place looks great and music was amazing! 100% now my local

came in last week with a few friends and had an amazing time, cocktails were good and staff were friendly and helpful. will definitely be back

Went here to the house of burlesque for my daughters hen party.Had a great time, somewhat surly bar staff , house of burlesque was fantastic, great time was had by all

Wax (outdoor) security was great. Music was great, Ritesh was amazing!

Price on the menu is not updated online neither in the club. When I made noticing to the barman he took the menu and hided it then went in the back of the bar for like 5 minutes. I did not understand what was happening... When he came back he started ignoring me even if I was still waiting for my drink and for a reply. Not a good client service at all.

We went to watch Divas which was brilliant well done to all the cast

There was no security. there were 2 bouncers, they were sleeping people were misbehaving with each other there was no management. never go waste of time and money. Drunk People were teasing to girls entering into the middle of the groups the security is lagging behind and not doing anything. We just spent 20 mins and our group came out just because of dj and security poor dj.

One of the pathetic club, I have ever experienced. No girls security. Door supervisors are there just like mannequins, they don’t have balls to do anything against bad people. Will not recommend this to anyone.

I had a booking here last week for my birthday party , they gave me 10/10 service . Managers Dom and Sylwia made my night the best night . They were both helpful and professional . I strongly recommend SWAY BAR

Tour arranged pre marathon smoko with group included in our package.

Had an excellent time at Sway Bar last night, we enjoyed the Divas show too, best night weve had for a long time, great singers and dancers...so cheeky lol the only thing I have to say is sometimes the cocktails werent made in the proper way, ie not mixed up in a shaker ....when that was done it tasted bitter and too sour. Apart from that it was grt night.

Came here for a work conference and was looked after very well by a man named Rocko. He helped me find a plug when I was in desperate need and was very friendly and helpful. Great space, great atmosphere and excellent food.

Food and service is not the best but I love how they have a place for drinks and eating with a DJ playing music then there is a separate cocktail bar with another DJ playing in the area and they have the proper club separated as well with another DJ playing music.

Just putting this out here. SEVEN POUNDS EIGHTY for ONE bottle of Heineken.

Great place to let yourself have fun with loved ones and good music

This was my first visit in 3 or 4 years. I went to Sway for a few after work drinks on a Thursday. The two bouncers on the door were not the most welcoming and seemed to lack some social skills. They basically said WHAT as we went to enter the bar. The bar was empty, which was fine. The person behind the bar tried every beer and cider tap, and the only draught working was Guinness. This limited the options to bottles in the fridge and cocktails/spirits. The cocktails tasted pretty bad. I watched as everything was underpoured even though it was all being measured in front of me. The female bartender definitely did not want to be there and were on their phone most of the time we were in the bar. We ordered a few sides to nibble on. Everything was pretty tasteless and seemed microwaved. Definitely avoid the food. The 50% off happy hour makes the bar worth a visit, but they definitely need to have more than just Guinness working on tap. There was no mention of changing the barrel, just that everything was out apart from Guinness.

Went here last Friday night. Got there about midnight. The bouncer warned us on entry that they were 'quiet' inside. He wasn't kidding. Not one other person was there. Literally not one. Music was pretty awful RnB stuff. I counted ten members of staff dotted around the place, obviously bored out of their minds. Unsurprisingly, service was quick and efficient. At 1am they closed and we left. We walked 200 m and found a much better place, Simmons, that played a mixture of classics and modern pop that was lively and good fun. You should go there instead.

My sisters and myself went today for a 60th birthday celebration. Was fantastic in every way possible. The staff were brilliant and the ENT was first class well done everyone you really do deserve a big round of applause xx

Pretty gross water cups and wine glasses they have there...

50% off for happy hour is such a great deal! Service was great, however im giving 4 stars because the cocktails were awful. The bartender may have been new or something because we had 3 rounds of the same drink and it tasted different each time? First was too strong, next too sweet, last tasted like water. We never even complained so it's not like he was trying to change it up for us. He looked so stressed even though there was literally no one but us to make drinks for when the burlesque show started. Just some constructive criticism because otherwise it is a great happy hour bar to head to!

Went for House of Burlesque and had an amazing time. Highly recommend the show.

Ridiculous prices and the bar staff are blind. Whoever shouts the loudest gets served first

Friendly staff but no atmosphere

Lame place waste of time and money. We rented this venue for our conference and half of the people didn’t even get in because they security was checking already pre-approved guests. How does it make sense? Questioning IDs and even rejecting some attendees of the conference even after displaying their IDs was unacceptable. There was definitely some racism involved and the security was also very aggressive with our guests. In conclusion, this was a big disappointment, especially after flying in all the way from NYC and getting treated so poorly! Do NOT use this venue for your events, please do not waste your money. There are a lot of much better great venues in London where you will get treated with at least some sort of respect.

House of Burlesque, Speaksy on Saturdays = a must in London!

your bouncers are so rude it’s crazy. work on yourselves bro it’s just sway calm down. would give 0 stars if i could. your staff seem to be disproportionately satisfied by an exercise of low-level, and quite frankly, immaterial authority. i hope they realise how unprofessional that is.

Went for the House of Burlesque Show .... 10/10 fantastic.

Went here for a west end musical themed brunch and my God my socks were blown off. Service is incredible, and they never let my glass stay empty. Would I go back 100% yes.

Went here with a group. Atmosphere was good, staff friendly, drinks reasonably priced, good music in the dance area.

I don’t usually do reviews but I picked this place for a friend’s birthday and it was honestly so stressful; not to mention the service was painfully slow. If any of my friends went up to the bar, we literally didn’t see them for half an hour. The organisation was so poor and there was no efficiency despite the place being busy-ish but not heaving. We went during happy hour and there was a burlesque show happening downstairs. Obviously there was a demand for cocktails, but the venue only had two bar staff on at most. When the manager came to help he took an order from the first person he saw who had only just walked up to the bar when we had all been standing there for so long! That happened several times when I waited at the bar (all I wanted was a bottle of Prosecco) - I’d be waiting for 20 minutes and bar staff just couldn’t gauge who to serve next so kept serving people who just walked in front of their faces instead of people who had been standing at the bar for so long. I saw one bartender would who was making cocktails and walked from one end of the bar to the other every time she needed a bottle for a cocktail- so for one cocktail she’d make three trips instead of taking all the bottles she needed. The other guy was taking a couple of orders at a time but it was just slower. If anything, they looked defeated because they needed help and all the manager did was just flap with panic. Also, the burlesque show really promoted buying bottles of Prosecco but they were always downstairs and the fridges weren’t stocked upstairs in the main bar - that kind of organisation just makes no sense to me. In the end, because so many of my friends were coming back frustrated every time they had to go to the bar, we decided to take our business elsewhere because we were spending a lot but getting such poor service in return. It was honestly disappointing and really stressful as the person who organised the birthday party.

Very nice venue. Food was good, but buffet went cold and should probably be served on hot or warmed plates. When I mentioned the poor state of the toilets to reception they didn't care at all and nothing was done, really poor. Decor and atmosphere nice, but need to do better. Shame.

The bouncer, who resembles “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” hates his job. He attempts to code-switch by speaking Spanish initially but then resorts to hurling insults at attendees. Such behavior is unbecoming and raises questions about whether this is the type of brand and message SWAY intends to support, especially during an event for LSE students—a top-tier school full of international students. At the entrance, he pushed me when I mentioned that I could not move forward because the people in front of me were not moving. I reminded him that he was wearing a camera around his neck, yet he proceeded to push me a second time. I recorded him on my way out. I wouldn’t be surprised if he beats his wife and kids. This individual should be dismissed from his position. Paul Blart needs to be stopped and held accountable.

Went for a social event. Great place to be at. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. 50% off price between certain hours. Can't go wrong in the current economy. Besides, there is music and a dance floor so, all boxes ticked. Love it.

Loved the place. Rarely come across such large venues. Food/ drinks are decently priced but the service was way under par.

Nice place for weekend evening drinks, lots of eventbrite events happening here too. Good for networking

I came here for an event and was really impressed with the venue. Amazing deals on drinks during happy hour. 12.50 for a bottle of wine which is a good deal for a bar in central London. Security staff were very courteous and professional as were the bar staff. Will definitely be returning to this place

Went there for an early evening networking event. The atmosphere was Okayish.

Make sure you get the right bartender, real hit and miss

Would definitely recommend food elsewhere, but you cannot deny that the music and atmosphere are outstanding, especially for Hun Brunch. Queens are very friendly and incredibly talented! Great for groups but must book tickets/tables beforehand

Fantastic afternoon at the bottomless west end musical brunch. Very entertaining, great atmosphere. Everyone was singing and dancing. The Bottomless was an hour and the bottles of Prosecco just kept coming. The downsides were the cocktails were disappointing (watery) and the food was pretty awful. At 4pm we were asked to leave the room and go to the next door bar and it but at 5pm without any notice the bar shut and the music was turned off. The barman was so moody and rude. Such a shame to end a great afternoon in such a way. It would have made a big difference if they’d told us this when moving us to the other bar. The bar staff in the main room had been lovely.

Waited in queue for 4 hours to get in because they are understaffed and don’t have enough id and bag checkers - then they try and charge us extra for missing our entry time. Never again- staff are rude and disrespectful don’t go to this terrible place

Their bouncers are so disrespectful acting all tough like hard men trying to intimidate people. I went out to get a friend who was havin difficulty findin the place. I had a band on (that proves I paid) when I came back 5-10 mins later the doorman was like you gotta pay admission. I showed the band and he said doesnt matter. You pay BECAUSE I SAY SO. Scammers

I attended House of Burlesque's show on Saturday night at Sway (6th of January). The door security guy working there at 6pm was extremely rude and intimidating towards my group and treated us with complete contempt and suspicion. Our group was all female and I suspect this factored into his bullying behaviour. It set completely the wrong tone for the night, which is a real shame and is a disservice to the burlesque performers who put on an excellent show. Other female audience members spoke to us and had the same experience with the man at the door. He would make me reconsider another visit to Sway bar.

4 disco lights. 2 inactive 1 moving but no light. Really poor effort get better in a pub. Main club not open. Sad. NB they scan your ID not sure what database. Every purchase at the bar overcharged, at least they corrected when I showed the drinks card. Unlikely to return.

Great experience and the security was amazing. Especially Robert, he made sure my birthday was perfect. I’ll be back soon

Very young crowd- but great drinks 2 for 1.

The location of bar is so good, it is 2 minutes far from Piccadilly. Music is so cool and the staff are kind and helpful. I spent nice time in Bar with my friends. It has a club in downstairs and I think everybody enjoyed very much. It is nice place to gather and have fun.

Fantastic burlesque show. Lots of energy and positive vibes. Wish it last longer

My group of friends were requested to leave for no reason at all as we were on the dance floor: Three of the security guys including the security girl on the floor came and stood in the face of my friend for no reason . When I asked what’s the reason she’s been asked to leave they said they were intoxicated. One of the staff also said I said so that’s why these guys have to leave.It was only half an hour to close on the 27th December. Stupid staff. Staff like them should be trained well . The whole room of the sway bar was intoxicated but they only spotted a few of us. Everyone who were asked to leave were Indians as we walked out. Felt very discriminated. Sway bar staff felt like a few groups of people should leave and not stay. I have recorded footage of the room and management should check cctv cameras to see if the group was intoxicated. If you are brown and Hindu avoid this club/restaurant as they discriminate people for their religion as far as I noticed. The groups who were outside were all Hindus as I came out of course. I was not asked because I challenged them but felt very furious with their unreasonable treatment with a couple of my friend Very tempted to tweet this incident tonight.

We had a great time at the West End Musical brunch hosted here. The food was great, and the service was fab. If you're considering the brunch, go for it! It's one of the best things we've ever done!

I had my Birthday at Sway bar staff were very nice. Security Wax’s was really nice explained everything to us very helpful. I had a really goodnight I would recommend.

Works Christmas party so cannot give a full review. Staff were great though and the pizzas were really nice. Just a heads up, they dont sell pale ale here

Nice, spacious modern venue. Good for parties.

Nice dancing evening yesterday. Also, the owner was kind and kept his word by offering me a drink to apologise for a little misunderstanding that had occurred the previous time. I will always gladly come back.

Great vibes and foods are okay.

Food was terrible - like it came from the economy isle of a supermarket. Pizza tasted like cardboard. The service was even worse, they refused to let me order dessert because the chef was busy. Absolutely awful place to order food and the staff didn’t even care. I’ve never eaten such bad food in my life.

Shambles of a start, table booked for 530 and told they weren’t open on arrival and to come back in half an hour! Then told to wait outside until 40 minutes after our booked time! Long wait for service but never got served food was ok and bottomless pizza ok

Unfortunately my cocktails were undrinkable, although my friend had a different member of staff make theirs and it wasnok

Need Noise cancelling 🎧 phones 🤳 ear damage loud music 🎶

The best show ever! The greatest service! Very low prices! 10 stars! We had amazing time!! Girls, you are the brightest stars!!! Highly recommend!!!!

One of the best nights out the atmosphere was friendly welcoming and fun all night the staff are very friendly and professional and all very helpful in any way nothing was to much A big thank you to all can't wait to come back and visit again

Horrendous door staff, power hungry and bullies. The Bollywood club night was practically empty as the door staff were treating the Bollywood club members with hostility and aggression. When door staff were questioned about why they were refusing so many people to enter they told them ‘you’re definitely not coming in now’ . Horrible experience and to be charged £25 entry and leave after half an hour as most of the guest for our party were not getting entry was such a waste of money.

Had the most amazing evening here. All the staff were very friendly and we saw the most beautiful show. Everyone here made our evening very special, thank you. We would recommend everyone to go.

The bouncers ( the head manager )outside had very aggressive behaviour towards me. Due to me carrying a drink in my hand which I insisted I’ll throw away but he was being ill mannered. He wasn’t letting me back in and I wasn’t even drunk at all.

Extremely unprofessional security team. Treat customers so badly. We had such a horrible treatment by the security team there. I would highly suggest to not ever try this place. It was such a waste of money. They don’t even let you speak there or re enter back the club even if you have a band on. We will not ever try this place ever again. It was such a disaster experience.

We arrived for a Halloween event at Sway and two of our party of ten were told they couldn’t go in by the bouncer because one of us had taken a sip of alcohol on the street before getting into the queue. Whether a person drinks in the street is no concern of the bouncer as she wasn’t in the queue. No one in the group was drunk. We were hosting international artists and this was shocking. The bouncer eventually said they could come back after 40 mins and he’d let them in. I can only assume he thought they were drunk. They weren’t. Then, one of our friends was going through security and as he was being scanned by the bouncer he made a calm non confrontational comment on the way the machine was held.He was accused of being rude and told to go away and get some coffee then come back. Again the bouncer assumed he was drunk. But this friend does not drink alcohol. It was a shockingly bad experience. We are a group of 40-50 years old all in professional jobs and never once has any one of us gotten into any trouble in a club or other venue. Management really needs to train the bouncers so they’re not over zealous. It really felt as though we were being penalised. We had an awful evening and won’t be going back. My advice is - find somewhere else to have fun. I was very disappointed. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years. I’m 50.

Went for a Bollywood night and the door men were horrific and on a power trip. We all paid £25 entry stayed less than an hour as our friends were being treated badly for reasons, no discussions just blunt rudeness and desire to have customers beg to get in, so our friends refused to pander to the bouncer’s egos and left to go to another venue. The host of the club night wasn’t being listened to and was bullied by the door staff. Horrendous venue and attitude. Truly disgusted. We normally go to this club night and there isn’t this much attitude from door staff. I think the fact that it was Halloween, the staff seemed unable to deal with the pressure of how busy their basement club was but the Bollywood club customers caught the brunt of the badly tempered bouncers. It was the most hostile and power hungry security we have ever experienced. Shame as the venue has no issues taking our money. We would all like a refund to be quite honest. Truly disgusted

We had a great time at this place. Staff were very friendly, food was delicious and atmosphere took its time to get going, but brilliant in the end.

Went for a professional networking event on a friday evening, it was fairly quiet and no busy. nice interior. Loved their tomato juice.

Brill spot will definitely be back Friendly staff, and food is amazing! Cocktails to die for !!

Beautiful venue, great drinks and love seeing the chefs in the kitchen making the food. Pizzas are unreal! Going to come back for one of the club nights as we left as people were coming in (we were only there for after work dinner/drinks) and it looked lively!!

Awesome bar! Great staff and a great vibe all round.
