If around the Coal's Drop Yard area, do not miss this gem across the canal. The staff is young and always considerate towards the guests and there are truffle fries and cozy with a twist of non alcoholic Proseco and White wine, but not limited to it. PS: it offers a great evening view towards Central Saint Martin and the canal due its outside terrace.

After leaving a bad review due to the terrible cocktails they made, I was told “I hope the steady flow of teqauila made up for it” what the tequila that I paid for? Yes! It’s not like it was given for free. This place really needs to teach their staff how to make cocktails or take it off the menu

Not really worth a visit food just ok no atmosphere. Also beware they want your card details they say because of your booking, don’t know why place was empty.

Probably my top pick for a post-work drink in the area, it’s great in the summer and still pretty good in the winter!

A great fun place! The Gas Station next to Regent Canal is a very modern circular building with an expansive bar downstairs along with a smaller bar upstairs and a massive dining area on the first floor too. Jungle wallpaper looks great and is fun. Lovely friendly service offering a range of keg beers. Not one for the real ale drinkers as no cask beers on offer. Great balconies for when the weather is fine (not today!). An enjoyable visit.

So... many years ago, I used to fill up here. No, really! This was my local petrol station. Funny, then, to be forced to grab a pint here whilst waiting to go somewhere else. It's a good venue, with the most fantastic outside space by the canal. You could spend hours just sitting, chatting... The bar has a decent selection of drinks, and the staff ok. The toilets decent. Best bit, though, by far is the outside.

The place is a great location for summer drinks, and the drinks were actually nice, and so the people serving us. Only issue I've had was with the vegan burger, dry patty and stale bread. Other than that, would definitely go back for drinks!

Only went here for drinks so can't comment on the food. Good selection of beer on tap. It was very busy and noisy on this particular Wednesday (although apparently it's busy most nights). Although there were no free tables inside, there was lots of seating available outside. The main issue really was the service. There were long waits at the bar to be served.

Was here for a big work dinner and we were very well looked after. Most of the food was delicious, especially the veggie nduja arancini which I will definitely be returning for. The black bean burger was a bit dry tbh, but the chips were good and the charred pineapple I had for dessert was a stunner. Everybody else in the group seemed to enjoy the food also. They have a good wine list, and the Grüner Veltliner was a ten. We also somehow managed to order 27 margaritas between us so kudos to the team who must have been mixing these non stop all night.

Such a great place to chill, eat and drink. As it is on the canal, feels like you are on a boat. Seems like a very popular place in Kings Cross. Could possible open another branch in Canary Wharf?? Would definitely recommend this place.

We were rather disappointed with the drinks and snacks we ordered especially giving the high price tag implying the quality should at least be average. I ordered vegetable root chips and received potato crisps, the pork scratchings tasted of fish and were completely stale and inedible, the Bloody Mary was the one of the worse I’ve ever had. The waiting staff seemed confused and a bit shy when approaching tables and delivering our orders to other tables? A lot of the non alcoholic options were unavailable and the non alcoholic gin and tonic was tasteless unfortunately. Again, quality and attention to detail was very poor.

Despite booking the venue about 6 weeks in advance (and again double checking that what we had agreed then was still relevant just a week beforehand), when I arrived on the day, none of the previous discussions and agreement with regards to areas and music, drinks etc were known to the management team. Regardless, we managed to get some drinks and food organised for the group of 40ish people who arrived throughout the afternoon and evening. Everyone was enjoying the evening until we were told we had to vacate the upstairs floor (at 10.15pm!!!) because they couldn’t staff the upstairs bar. This is despite half of the guests had already left the event and everyone was incredibly well behaved. Word of warning: do not hire this place for a private do if you plan to be entertaining until later 10pm.

Overpriced and with an incredibly long delay in receiving our drinks when the place was practically empty and those that were there nursed the over priced drinks in front of them. Pork scratchings served in a pot, ridiculous!

Tried to order at the bar as was cheaper than table (as they charged a service charge) but Told to order outside as it was “safe for the staff” - strange. Ordered outside and asked for service charge to be taken off and told the tablet couldn’t do it. Eventually they found a way to take it off but was met with blunt service after that. It’s a shame they made it so hard to order without paying a “discretionary “ service charge . Food was nice, beers standard.

Had the strangest experience at gas station on Sunday night. (Bank Holiday weekend). Walked in at 10.50 with 5 other people. A lady behind the bar approached me and asked what I wanted. I then ordered two whisky sours.. she started making them.. half way though the girls in my party/round made up there mind and ordered two gin and tonics (can't remember the last two). She said. I am not making anymore!!! I said it's the same round.. I cant drink them on my own. She was so rude and said. Not discussing it. Wont change and not making any more as its 11. But the round was started. Anyway she said no. So I told her I can't take the whisky sours as that's not how a round works. She was so rude and just plain odd... wont be going back in a hurry. Shame

Canalside bar and restaurant a five minute walk from Kings Cross station that's popular with the after-work crowd. Loads of outdoor seating, including seats with heaters when it's cold and some in the shade when it's warm. If you are a larger group it's good to either make a reservation or get there before 5.30pm.

Just was exploring the area and stopped at the Gas Station on way back to the hotel. If I lived near here this would be my favourite place to sit out and chill with friends. Varied menu and good selection of drinks to suit most tastes. So far the best beer garden I ever seen in my 63 years. Lots of tables and chairs with greenery around with the canal running by. A very well designed place .

Went there last Saturday for a surprise birthday, couldn't fault the place I was in the upstairs bar / function room. The place has a very nice bar downstairs that was open to the public and packed out then I went upstairs to another bar that had a private party and that was very busy. I ventured through another door where the party was and there was a nice semi circular bar with very knowledgeable staff along with a brilliant selection of lagers and spirits, which I took full advantage of as the party was a free bar. From what I understand the gas station has only been in the area for less than a couple of years may long it continue to be here for the next twenty years,. Will definitely be going again very soon, check it out when leaving kings cross station, only up the road..

We had a really bad experience at the Hansom restaurant today. We went to celebrate my mum's 70th birthday and had booked afternoon tea. We were 4 adults and 2 small children so made a reservation for 6. My husband is diabetic so can't have cakes. When we arrived we were told by the front of house lady that we HAD to order 4 afternoon teas because the reservation was made for 4 adults and the tea was preordered the day before. It felt very condesending and we felt talked down to. If that indeed is the policy, it was not made clear in the reservation and I was made to believe I was in the wrong and trying to weasel out of an agreement. Now we've been to afternoon tea at plenty of different hotels including the Ritz and Dorchester and have never been told that. It felt really embarrassing and not at all pleasant. This staff member handled this situation extremely poorly. I wanted to leave at that point and was thorougly embarrased for my mum who we wanted to have a good time for her birthday. The front of house person was rude and very aggressive when she told us that and stormed off to talk to her manager only to come back to tell us that they were OK to let us order 2 afternoon teas and 2 courses of their normal menu for the other party which we agreed to but it did really dampen the mood and from then on it was just a sh@tshow. It took them probably 45 minutes from arriving to take our order. We finally received 2 plates of sandwiches and food for the children. We had ordered chicken and ice cream. They brought the chicken and left the ice cream sitting out until the kids were finished with their main course so the ice cream was liquid. The main courses arrived,but no cakes. The steak was also over peppered unfortunately. We spilled water but no one cleaned it up or offered a new napkin. Plates weren't cleared, we had to call waiters over to ask for small plates to eat the sandwiches from. 2 hours in there still wasn't any sight of any scones or cakes. By that point my kids were super tired and fed up and frankly we just wanted to go home. I complained to the same lady (front of house) and got told it was standard practice to leave a decent amount of time between courses. I don't think 2 hours is reasonable to wait for scones and cakes! This certainly did not happen the last time I went here for afternoon tea. I told her that we actually just wanted to go home and nobody was in the mood for cakes anymore, that we really weren't happy and frankly super disappointed with the service. She was snide, unapologetic and just kept saying let me check. Finally her manager came over and offered us a reduction in the bill and packaged up the cakes to go. It was a thoroughly underwhelming experience where no proper afternoon tea was had. I had let them know in the reservation that it was for a big birthday, but nothing was done for my mum to make it special. It also didn't feel particularly child friendly and welcoming to a family with 2 young children. The only saving grace was that we were all together, but the day was throughly ruined by the experience. Very very shoddy! Cannot recommend. Overpriced and awful service!
