My husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding day at the Yard. I spoke first with Lucy, then Tom and Julio. When the time came, we had an amazing support from them and the entire team. We had the upper floor bar for us and our guests. We brought our own food and decorations and the Yard team were there for anything we needed. That the best team we could possibly have. They are friendly, smiling, great attitude and extremely kind. We are looking forward to celebrate our birthday with them again soon. Thank you guys for being part of our big day. ❤️

Good establishment in Soho, but greed has gotten the better of the place by now adding a gratuity to each payment without asking the consumer if they’d like to add this. This is in relation to simply ordering from the bar, not table service. Disappointing.

PLEASE AVOID. There is cameras in the toilet area, security are the worst I've ever seen; banging on toilet doors and threatening to call the police because I wouldn't open the door (Obviously not able to open the door when you're sat on the toilet!) Extremely aggressive and threatening behaviour from security and staff, shouting at us, banging the walls and slamming doors. What a way to treat a 24 year girl and her 59 year old mum. All we wanted to do was pop in for a night cap on our walk home.

Really? They ruined our date by telling us to move from our table because another customer had been booked for 7 pm. We sat around 7:45 pm, and not one of the reserved people had arrived. We thought the general rule was that if a person doesn’t turn up within 20 minutes, they lose the reservation. The manager was very rude, insisting we vacate the table. But people arrived after 8 pm – really? Does the restaurant allow reservations to be held for over an hour? We hadn’t finished our drinks, and despite speaking with the manager, security, and staff, they didn’t respect us. We have the right to stay, and it’s their problem if guests arrive late. We decided to leave without finishing our drinks. Never again. Businesses need to reconsider their treatment of customers and prioritize more than just profit. I will inform all my friends and advise against going there. Shameful atmosphere and unhelpful staff.

Lovely place but it’s becoming a venue for groups that book a number of tables and don’t use them. Booking is free by the way! Today the courtyard had about 10 tables booked for 6.30 or 7pm. We arrived at 7 and decided to use a table booked for 7 when it was 8pm. The manager came and asked us to vacate because “the group was getting late upstairs” and decided to come down now. Seriously? We just left and won’t come back.

Have always liked this place. Staff in the loft bar were pleasant. The place was cold but they did close the door into the balcony and turn on some heating when we asked them! I don’t go to a bar to freeze. Really cheeky adding gratuity to the bill. This should stop. Ok, they put a receipt by the card machine but who looks before paying and in any case it does not say it is optional. They are not waiting staff. You go to the bar to get your drink.

Why does the Yard insist on sneaking a service charge on drinks from the bar? Which bit of this is service? Is it me queuing for my own drinks? Or me carrying my own drinks back to the table? What’s worse is the way the bar tenders try to hide this when they ‘show’ you the bill. They always keep their hand over this charge. Funny that. In the old days at the Yard it used to be optional on the card machine. These days it’s automatically added. I’m sure the venue would say it’s entirely ‘optional’. But if that’s the case, why not allow your customer the option to add it?

Very nice place that definitely it’s much better week time so busy on Fridays and Saturdays when it’s just too crowded and it’s just too hard to move around. Really nicely done in a city style that represents night life in a modern but not fancy way with a quite colourful neons way 💡 I like it especially for early evening time before 9pm as later it’s just loud place to just talk and it smells like cigarette 🚬 so it’s healthy style people friendly so 4 stars ⭐️ but still I’ll recommend a bit 💪🏻

Rude and Abusive staff: was here a while ago and the manager ‘Henry’ seemed very stressed and rude. He made a terrible atmosphere among the customers and annoyed all the staff. He ran about out of control giving orders in an arrogant and condescending way. For the price you pay you expect and nice atmosphere but we certainly didn’t get it here. Henry also had the cheek to tell the bar staff not to serve me because I slipped my shoes off after a long day of working! As a gay man who has been coming here for years a change of manager is needed before I ever come back. Also since this, we made a complaint via the website and it wasn’t even acknowledged. Bad service. Ps. Rip off ^£8 a pint of beer here and bad service.

The security are racist. As a black male, got turned away inititally as it was "reservation only", with another black male with me. This was a lie. My non black friends ahead of me got in no problem, without any reservation. Obviously the security will deny this happened. I told the security that my non-black friends got in, and never mentioned anything about a reservation. Once I told them that, they let me in. It's still not right, and it's clear racial bias against black people, so I'm posting this review for awareness.

Visited yesterday with friends - one of whom was a cigar smoker. Sat in approved smoking area only to be told very curtly by a member of staff to put the cigar out. ‘We don’t allow cigars - the neighbours will complain’. When we pointed out that there were no signs banning cigars and we were sitting in an approved smoking area with ash trays he just said these are the rules and if we didn’t like it we could leave. Either impose a total smoking ban across the whole place or at least put a sign up to explain this nonsensical policy. Been going here for years but no more 😡

Extremely rude customer service!! Sitting in a legitimate smoking area only to be told smoking of a cigar not allowed. Nowhere does it say that. They claim ‘the neighbours might complain’. I’ve never heard such tosh in all my life!! If cigar smoking not allowed you need a sign to say that. Otherwise don’t even bother with a smoking area at all. But for an officious, unfriendly member of staff to single my friend out unnecessarily…That’s not cool. Been visiting for many years but this was my last visit 😡

Tried to call several times to ensure that I could bring my dog. Nobody answered for 3 days straight. When getting to the venue (which is mostly outdoor and you can smoke inside) was not allowed because of the dog. However, when my friend asked why they hadn't answered the phone, the response was that they were too busy and haven't had the time. Answering the phone is part of the job and if you can't do that, then why even have a phone number there if it's pointless. Sad to have not been able to spend time with my friend who was celebrating his new job.

I loved this venue every time I've gone however during pride, I get it's stressful but there was a bar staff member in pink. We queued on the left of the bar for ages where people were being served. Got to front to get shouted at saying we can't get served there. When I asked about the others being served they said they were staff and they'll call a bouncer. I've been here lots and never seen these 'staff' a bunch of women who he was clearly flirting with. Wonder how much that bar staff member gave away in free drink. I'm pretty sure every venue has all their staff working pride. His attitude, barking and threat was trash. Happy to engage with management if they care and explain it all.

The place was cold both in terms of temperature and welcome. All a bit barn-like and poker face by the staff. And they didn't have Cointreau, which I would have thought was a bit of a staple drink! But the worst bit was finding (on my return home and filtering through my receipts) that both I and my companion (on buying separate rounds) had been charged a service charge for the round - completely unasked and without any warning. While I don't begrudge giving tips for good service, a) we didn't get good service b) my drink of choice wasn't available, c) it wasn't a great place to spend my hard-earned money in and d) I'm not even sure that the tip/service charge would go anywhere but into the main funds for the organisation. But apart from that Mrs Lincoln . . .
