Having not been here for a very long time, I thought I'd try it. The bar is lovely, comfortable with reasonable decor. The staff friendly but not attentive and very slow. We had to go to the bar to order and waited nearly an hour for some bread and olives. The oil and vinegar we requested to accompany the bread never arrived! Nice place but probably won't return

A wonderful atmosphere that allowed for conversations and quality time. An array of cocktails to opt from but can order a humble JD and coke if required. Service from staff was incredible.

The best gin cocktails. Bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly and creative! Praveen was one who helped me a couple days while I stayed at the hotel. He is awesome. There was another bar guy, will update this review if I recall his name. The both of them, were a great team and ran the full bar - packed ! Wow!

11p on a Tuesday and, as three hotel guests, we got turned away because it was ‘full.’ Funny, there was enough space to host a whole football team, but apparently the waiter wasn’t feeling it. Pretty disappointing.

Our afternoon aperitive stop while exploring Covent Gardens. Lots of cocktails to choose from and despite the name, lots of liquor to choose from as well. We tried one of their many G & T and a different gin based cocktail. Well made, delicious, a little overpriced, but all in all, a fun way to spend an hour and some.

OK I'm a londonder and wouldn't normally be seen dead in a hotel bar BUT I was the guest of a resident . The Cocktail 'escaped baboon' was out of this world...I had two But lose points for charging for nibbles...that's really cheap

for such a nice (and expensive) place i was very disappointed with the service here... a minor issue was being served a regular tonic after asking for a slimline tonic, a major thing for me was that i asked for bourbon with no ice. it arrived with ice so the table service was clearly lacking and when i sent it back they simply removed the ice and served it back to me so it was just as chilled as before which entirely missed the point of asking for it with no ice to begin with. i'd honestly expect a place of this standard to be understanding this.

Outstanding service. We were cared for (on numerous occasions) by David, he is fantastic, very knowledgeable and made some cracker suggestions. Highly recommend if you are a gin drinker. The seaside negroni is an experience!

Locato all' interno di un hotel che, visto da fuori, non sembrava granché. Per quanto riguarda il bar, ha un atmosfera di tempi passati, arredato proprio come un trentennio fa, con comodi divanetti e molto legno tutt' intorno. Noi amiamo il gin quindi siamo stati soddisfatti dalla selezione e dalle combinazioni proposte. Servizio veloce e gentile. Da provare!

Expensive and the optional service charge they add on annoys me when they are charging so much anyway £4 for a small lemonade with the gin plus a tip. What a waste of money paying over £14 for one drink!

Couldn’t get in to give a serious review. Bartender/Host rudely turned us away saying they were “full” with many empty seats and no pre booking available, so unclear why we were not allowed in. No explanation, just rudely sent us on our way. The rest of the hotel was nice, so the other bar/restaurant kindly seated and served us.

A totally charming bar... beautiful decor, lovely staff, and a bit of a hidden asset just to the South of Covent Garden in the Strand Palace hotel - God knows there's scarcely another reason for going there. It's usually quiet too in the early evening, so an ideal place to meet friends for drinks before a Covent Garden restaurant perhaps, or a theatre visit. Highly recommended.

Poor service (20 minutes for two drinks), happy hour was not honored, my female friend was greeted as 'sir', service charge is automatically added despite poor service (£2 to wait 20 minutes = great value!)

Staff great but prepare to sever and arm and leg as payment. Its basically a hyped up hotel bar. I realise drinks are expensive in hotels in London, but £15 for a single measure and compulsory service charge is taking it all a tad too far. Head across the road to the Coal Hole. Lovely London pub, better selection and a fraction of the cost.

They add a 12.5% "optional service charge". Did not see till after I paid, and had to ask for a receipt. The happy hour is only Monday to Thursday, despite what the sign out front says, and they only consider cocktails to be the ones specifically on the menu. So my order did not meet the grade (Rum and coke). In Canada a cocktail is any mixed drink with spirits. And on top of all that the booth seats where rock hard and the tables way too low. Pretty disappointing.. :(

Went here for a G@T but ended up having their Gin and tonic afternoon tea. Comes with a gin cocktail. We had one between two of us, just ordered another drink. Tea and coffee is bottomless so both had with no issues. Plenty of food for two. The scones were one of the best and came with plenty of jam and cream. Good selection of little cakes and a desert in a glass. Well worth visiting and had good service. Tastefully decorated and not on top of each other. We were walk ins and no problem being served

What a nasty experience. We booked the Teppanyaki restaurant at The Colony Club weeks in advance for our anniversary. It was meant to be a special night. My partner made the booking through OpenTable, and I was sent a separate email to confirm attendance. I accepted the invite. I read the policy. Nowhere in that email was I told that I would need a physical ID. If it was, I would have brought it. I almost always do. But this was a special occasion. I carried a small purse and was intentional about what I brought. On the night, traffic was bad due to road closures. We spent nearly an hour trying to get there and attempted to call the restaurant multiple times. Their phone didn’t even connect. No ring, no message, just dead. We finally got through via live chat and explained we were delayed. About ten minutes before arrival, we were told we would need a physical ID to enter. My partner had his. I had a digital copy of my passport, but they refused to accept it. What followed was the most humiliating and unpleasant encounter I’ve ever had at a supposed luxury venue. We were met at the door by a bouncer, a Black man, whose attitude and tone were immediately dismissive. He didn’t care about what we had to say. We explained everything calmly. We were polite. We weren’t causing a scene. But he looked at us like we were nobodies and spoke to us as though we didn’t deserve to be there. He didn’t try to help. He didn’t care that we had travelled nearly an hour and made a reservation. He just shut us down cold. We asked to speak to someone else. He said no. His exact response was, “You’re not going in.” And that was that. Eventually, someone named Diego came out. For the first time, I felt heard. He explained the situation clearly, calmly, and with respect. He told us about the ID policy and why the venue requires it. At least he had the decency to treat us like human beings. My heart genuinely felt lighter speaking to him. But by then, it was too late. We were still denied entry. We asked for a refund. Refused. We asked to reschedule. Refused. We left hungry, embarrassed, and completely disappointed. A waste of time, effort, and money. This isn’t just about being denied entry. It’s about how we were spoken to. How we were dismissed. How there was no care, no warmth, and no accountability. The Colony Club needs to review the way their security staff treat people!! You cannot claim to be a luxury establishment and have staff who lack basic emotional intelligence and people skills.

Went last night for a catch up with friends. Ordered meal set b for 2 and meal set v for 2. Outstanding food with perfect portion size. Jean was super friendly and welcoming, as was the rest of the team! Highly recommend and worth booking in advance as it was busy throughout the evening!
