Esto está muy cerca del London Eye. Mi amigo quería ir aquí. Se sentía como estar en un almacén. Había algunas habitaciones diferentes, no estaba claro si podía entrar en ellas. No es una gran elección de refrescos. Debajo de un arco, para que puedas ver los trenes.

Llegué a tomar una copa antes de ir a cenar y me sorprendió el costo de 4 bebidas, un poco más de 30, pero después de pensarlo, no estuvo tan mal. 2 pintas de cerveza roja, individual y doble G&T, por lo que el costo probablemente no fue tan malo para los precios del centro de Londres.Ciertamente era un lugar ocupado incluso a las 4. 30 de la tarde.

La idea de una bebida nocturna fue una gran idea pero falló. El Bouncer a las 12: 20 decidió que era demasiado tarde para dejar entrar a alguien más a pesar de que el cronograma de Google decía que estaba abierto para el 1 a. metro. . Traté de razonar con el portero, pero me dijiste que fuera a jugar conmigo, así que tal vez otra noche. . . . .

No puedo creer que algunas de las malas críticas que este lugar está recibiendo! Tuve una celebración privada de cumpleaños en Arch 3 y Dan y su equipo no pudieron hacer lo suficiente para asegurarme de que todo saliera bien. Las bebidas y la comida eran excelentes, había mucha variedad para la música (alimentar al DJ o usar su propia lista de reproducción) y el personal fue muy rápido para atenderlo y fue muy amable. ¡Yo recomendaría mucho este lugar!

En Topolskis para una fiesta en una sala privada. Pedí tres bebidas en el bar, esperé un tiempo típico, pero el barman solo regresó con dos bebidas, con la otra a unos tres metros a mi izquierda. Pregunté por la otra bebida y me saludó una arrogante inclinación de cabeza hacia la bebida que estaba a mitad de camino en el bar. De Verdad? ! Después de una solicitud dolorosamente clara de que me gustaría la bebida frente a mí y luego pedí una pajita. . . Hizo un gesto hacia atrás y bajó la barra hacia una maceta de paja frente a un gran grupo de personas. Esta vez le pregunté "por favor, ¿puede conseguirme uno?", y la respuesta fue "¡OBTÉNGASE USTED MISMO! ”Si la gerencia lee esto. . . Echa un vistazo a tu personal. Es desagradable y bastante condenable para su negocio. yo

El viernes pasado después de ver el stand up comedy, yo y otros 2 amigos queríamos ir por una bebida, ya que había un grifo abierto allí por la compañía de mi amigo está trabajando. No nos permitieron entrar. El bouncer decidimos que estábamos borrachos, aunque no teníamos bebida antes en todo tener prisa para el lugar después del trabajo. Después se dio cuenta de su error, él nos acusó de ser agresivo porque estábamos tratando de persuadir a entrar en él. Pedimos hablar con el gerente, pero obviamente sin éxito y el chico se escondió su placa, así que no volvería a ver su nombre. Definitivamente no volver y se queja de este lugar a todo el mundo.

Decidimos tener una pizza plana pan cada una, el personal era muy amable y el servicio muy bueno, junto con nuestra pizza.

Había planeado mi propuesta y compromiso de fiestas con bar Topolski que eran absolutamente magnífico. Pregunté por correo electrónico y como tal para la correspondió gran parte como llamadas telefónicas eran muy difíciles de hacer en secreto. Vicente fue muy paciente y servicial. Me organizó un coro a cantar para cuando mi pareja y yo entré y el personal nos ayudó a organizar cada pequeño detalle. Esto incluía dejar un piano digital el día antes que gentilmente set-up en el día, y luego desmontadas para mí a recoger el día después. Nos cuidaron toda la noche por el gerente del bar, Edoardo que era absolutamente maravilloso. Hizo que todo transcurriera sin problemas en la noche y me puso completamente a gusto sobre clasificación de todo el día después. Nada era demasiado para él, incluso tomó algunas fotos de todo el grupo. En todos hicieron esa noche la noche más memorable de mi vida (hasta ahora! ) y les estoy muy agradecido por todo lo que he hecho. Vicente, Edoardo y los demás miembros del personal que eran sin duda trabajando detrás de las escenas - Gracias! !

Our London friends rave about this place - and they are right. It's definitely a great bar for drinks with friends, although there isn't a lot of seating so you might want to reserve if you're a group.As other reviewers have said, cocktails are a reasonable price, and there is a 1 + 1 happy hour early evening (check the times). We didn't eat, but the food looked good.The best bit, Friday night they have a DJ who plays a lot of classics - and will even sometimes take requests. Great music for lots of dodgy dancing.Go with a few friends on a Friday night and I'd say you'll have a good time :-)

If you are coming to this place just for a drink and a quick bite it's probably fine. But organizing a party for 50 people it's a nightmare. the room which is supposedly perfect for 50 people is small, low ceilings NO AIR CON! but this is the least of your problems as the management is the most disorganized bunch ever. I really have no idea how they are still open. Not only disorganized but rude also! only one bartender was nice. Save energy and time and choose another space :)

Great place! I booked Arch 3 for my partner's 40th surprise party. There's a ping pong table in there which provided much entertainment, there's music in the room but not too loud so we were able to have actual conversations. We had some platters which were tasty and quick to come, drinks are good if a little expensive. But as it's centre of London that's not surprising. After a while we went out to the dance floor, much louder out there. Was nice to be able to move between the two areas. Vincent, who I was liaising with for my booking, was wonderfully patient with my multitude of questions. Would definitely recommend it for drinks, birthday party or just night out.

I visited this bar in August 2016. It is in an arch below a railway bridge between South Bank and Waterloo. The nearest tube is probably Waterloo, although Embankment isn't far away either.Topolski offers a food and drinks menu. The food offering is fairly limited. I had a pizza, which was functional but not massive and edible without being anything special. The drinks menu is, I suspect, more of a focus. It is reasonably extensive and not overly expensive.To get to this place, you leave Waterloo by the main entrance and cross the main road at the traffic lights, pass beneath the bridge and you'll find Topolski on the left. Alternatively, if you are on the South Bank, head up the ramp behind the pedestrian bridge, hook a right so you pass the South Bank Centre (bust of Nelson Mandela outside) to your left, head down the stairs, cross the road and Topolski is in your right.I'd not say it is worth a specific trip but is a place that offers cool refuge and refreshment if you are in the area. More so than many of the other local bars.

Was there last night for a friend's birthday- a party of 10 people. I've been to this bar several times, it's a good place to go after work for some drinks, handy location near Waterloo station. We just had drinks. The bar is limited in the variety of spirit brands they hold. I have one friend who doesn't drink and I asked two different bar staff if it was possible to get a tall glass with ice and a slice of lemon...the response was rude. They didn't want to do it and pointed to a water jug left on the side. I asked politely if they could just get me a glass of water as I would like it to have ice. The attitude back was unreal. So rude and they also tapped my contact less card without previewing the total with me first. These might seem like small things but I just feel the bar staff have a lot to learn about customer service.

I really don't understand how you can make such a bad pizza but somehow Topolski succeeded. Firstly the base - tantalisingly crispy at the edges but sadly soggy in the middle and somewhat unappetisingly sweet. I went for the quattro formaggi, thinking how could they go wrong - they did, a pizza covered in gelatinous tasteless stuff. Won't be going here again!

Have frequented Topolski's regularly since it opened as a bar.The art work from its previous life as a gallery is a nice touch. There is a room in the back with a table tennis table- which is always great when drunk! I've always received good service and the flat breads are great. The price is reasonable for this part of London. Generally doesn't attract tourists which is a bonus ;)

With colleagues to say goodbye, wasn't till the end of the night, that 4 different people from our group of 10 ,shared their experience of the female bar tender as extremely sultry. When I asked for her name, she refused as I told her I was going to write a poor review of her behavior on here ! Proof of the pudding. As she didn't provide her name, she was thin, Caucasian with long hair, some of which appeared to be dreadlocks. Poor lamb, she had been on a 10 day stretch and understafed ! She should try working for the NHS, like we do and 10 day stretches understaffed is the norm.

I went here with a girlfriend looking for a nice glass of wine before getting the train. The bar itself is very cool; situated in the brick arches beneath the railway, it makes the most of the boho/industrial chic look. We arrived just in time for the 5pm-6pm 2-4-1 offer, which gave us two small glasses of Pinot Noir (which was lovely) for just £5.50 - a steal next to Waterloo. We also ordered the vegetarian board for two, which was delicious; really fresh (possible home-made) hummus, olives, warm flatbreads and all kind of other goodies, all for £10. There wasn't a waiter or waitress in the place who wasn't smiley or friendly and the waiter behind the bar was particularly helpful - he put us onto the 2-4-1 deal! A really cool place, perfect for drinks after work with friends or as a couple. We'll definitely be back soon.

Situated in a vibrate area, under the Waterloo arches, Topolski Bar doesn't meet the promising expectations set from its external appearance.The long bar offers one draft beer option only, Kronenbourg. Plus a small selection of bottled beers - considering the ongoing growth in quality craft beers and variety of options within the majority of London's bars, the single draft choice was a disappointment.If beer is your deciding factor, would strongly recommend considering other possible options close by.

Conveniently located near Royal Festival Hall with a design of something between contemporary style and industrial look didn't seem as a bad choice for a quick drink. However, atmosphere inside is horrible... service and music choice matched the vibe...Bartender looked not interested in providing the service, felt like I'm ordering food in off licence. And food is separate story, probably the worst pizza I can possibly imagine... everything was pre-made few minutes in the oven and served, Tesco pizza has better taste and nutrition value! I had two drinks and pizza, and persuaded my friends to change the bar, just couldn't stand all that experience together, poor service, music choice, ridiculous paintings... overall experience is that this place is run like take-away

(Cheapest one) and my god.. it was delishious. really enjoyed and the price wasnt too bad either.. love the arty decor.. something different is most appriciated by myself. Will return next time we are in london! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Well what can one say, we were on the south bank on a Saturday lunchtime, looking for a quick bite to eat, surrounded with the fantastic variety that can now be found around the festival hall.We had kids, so was looking for a place where everyone would be happy and without having to bring a mortgage broker. A quick sandwich or similar and a drink.... And so it begins, without enough thought we more or less walked into the first place and found ourselves in the industrial canteen world of Topolski .... I won't bore with the catalogue of utter nonsense we went through, highlights being a sandwich that was asked not to be toasted being toasted anyway, with the comment of we thought we would warm it through for you... In truth at this point I could not be bothered to send it back, as it was the 9th yes 9th dish they had offered our table of 4 before they started to bring what was ordered. To say they got nothing right from the drinks, well there was 4 to remember, to the food and finally the bill. By this point it was no longer annoying just rather sadly amusing. Would I suggest eating, not if you actually want to eat but to if you fancy watching unmitigated bedlam pop in for a drink.... It will serve to make you grateful for the good service one generally gets elsewhere. Actually even though it was toasted when requested the food was passable. Not great but you can't have everything .

Visited here after work for a few quick drinks. The choice was decent (not a huge choice of beers / ales), but the service was quick and the wine was decent. The interior is pretty good. The food choices are also decent - just a shame about the very over eager door men. I answered my phone and they wouldn't leave me alone until I moved about.. 2 feet behind where I was standing.. but doormen will be doormen.Not overly fussed on this place. Might come again, wouldn't be upset if I didn't.

Nice bar under the Waterloo railway arches, it's got an industrial warehouse type feel but plenty of tables and chairs. There are 3 rooms / sections to the bar so it's actually quite big. They have a long ping table and DJ in one which is more lively. Drinks were reasonably priced, food was a little over priced though, I ordered the pizza -3 pieces for £10 (they were quite big) but it wasn't great I wouldn't order it again.

I went here to meet a few friends before going out on the Southbank. It was very convenient. However the drinks selection is extremely poor - the wine choice just laughable. Food menu was not interesting enough for us to want to eat there.There seemed to be no atmosphere , but it was quite loud.The security were very rudely aggressive, especially considering the average age of our group was around 60 - as a result I definitely would never return here.

Had my leaving party at Topolski in room 3 with the table tennis and I have to say it's probably the best bar in Waterloo! Great music affordable drinks, spacious and friendly staff. Will return. Thanks for organising everything ;-)

We held a work lunch at Topolski Bar for 32 people. The staff managed the booking from start to finish perfectly. We opted for a set menu of salads, pizzas and cakes, all of which were great.

My first impression wasn't the best for the bartender seemed not to be in his best mood, yet when I had a chipped glass with my drink in sought for a glass change, given it almost cut my mouth. For my surprise I was offered a new drink in a fresh unchipped glass and an apologise. Honestly, considering the bartender attitude, I thought I wouldn't, even, get a new glass, but Tom (sorry i can remember his surname ) was apologisec and offer to change my glass and my drink. Great job Tom, hospitality need more people like you.

We came here for a quick lunch following a train to Waterloo and I wish we hadn't. I asked for a Diet Coke after waiting a good 15 minutes to be served and a normal Coke came up. The menu is very limited; pizzas, strange veggie salads and odd meat or cheese boards. It feels like a coffee shop trying to be cool but sadly doesn't pull it off. I ordered a goats cheese and orzo salad and was left quite disappointed. There was a strange dressing mixed in which made the goats cheese taste like lemon. Not something I'll be craving in future. I even had to eat on the way back to avoid passing out from hunger pains! Overall a wasted meal, probably better suited for a coffee and cake or a cocktail after work.

I have literally just got off the phone to this bar. I was looking to book a leaving event and tried to book through their website. The person at the end of the phone was so rude. I tried to explain that their website's reservations page does not work but the person at the end of the phone would not have it. He was so rude and unhelpful, I could not believe it. Never again

Perfectly located for a drink and a snack before or after the theater, or just after some stressful sightseeing nearby (the London Eye and the National are a few steps away). As this former artists' studio has some of the Polish artist Felix Topolski's work on show, the food has a sausage and bread slant, to follow the Polish theme. But both are excellent, so are the drinks on offer.

Unusual very attractive bar and restaurant and gallery reflecting the life of the artist Feliks Toploski a short walk (3 minutes) from Waterloo Station. Good wine list and the menu seemed good and fresh (we didn't eat). Worth a trip for a quick libation before taking the train.

This cocktail bar is located in the arch of a railway bridge on the Southbank. It's quirky to hear the trains rumble overhead.The price is surprisingly reasonable for the location and there is happy hour 6-7pm.There is a food menu, a bar area and table tennis tables.The place is clean, decent value, has free wifi (password is Topolski, it's not advertised but they will tell you if you ask).

Had a nice evening in here, plenty of tables (was Tuesday), nice atmosphere, cool with all the art about. Had a sharing platter and a pizza, which was reasonably priced for the area and what it was - it was nice food, great for nibbling over a drink or three and arrived very quickly.Would definitely return.

Have visited the bar quite a lot since it opened, but not sure I'll be doing so again after my latest experience. Was here for a small work event, one of my colleagues had booked a table and set up a tab. Unlike any other bars where you're given cards or numbers for the tab, this place just had the name, which was also the name of the reservation. A little into the night I saw a couple of guys at the next table looking at our reservation paper, then going to the bar. Didn't think any more of it until we came to settle up, and they'd added their drinks to our tab. The bar wasn't busy, the table was right by the bar and they could see these guys weren't part of the group, but the bar staff added the drinks anyway. The guys clearly knew what they were doing, so have probably done so before. Managed to get the drinks taken off after arguing.The other issues we had, which again we had to argue over, was billing us for more expensive drinks than those we'd ordered (and received), and then not fulfilling the 2-4-1 happy hour offer. The bar offered us a decent discount, but it left a bad taste having to argue over a tab at the end of the night. Just meant we couldn't relax and caused some awkwardness given it's a work event. So if you're going, be careful and keep an eye on what you're being charged for!

Porchetta, La - Clerkenwelllocation-icon84-86 Roseberry AvenuePizza & Pasta

Por supuesto, el señor y la señora Eductor no deberían haberse sorprendido con dos hechos decepcionantes: en primer lugar, un par de días antes de Navidad, todos nuestros restaurantes favoritos en el área del mercado de Exmouth se vieron envueltos en fiestas en la oficina de jóvenes ruidosos intercalados con un puñado de colegas mayores que no estaban seguros si deberían estar mirando a Tina de las cuentas en este momento. En segundo lugar, no deberíamos habernos sorprendido de que un restaurante no tan lleno estuviera. . . errar. . . 'promedio'.No es que La Porchetta sea mala exactamente, es solo que se pierde la mayoría de las expectativas básicas de los restaurantes italianos modernos. Sí, las sillas son incómodas, pero no de una manera moderna. Sí, puedes ver el horno de pizza, pero de alguna manera desearías no poder. Todas las cosas tradicionales de pizza / pasta están ahí, pero la pizza que comiste de Sainsbury's la semana pasada fue igual de buena. En el lado positivo, los camareros eran encantadores y serviciales, el servicio rápido y la factura relativamente modestos para los estándares locales (de nuevo, a diferencia de la mayoría de los italianos modernos).Pero me alegro de que mi fiesta de oficina no estuviera allí. Y no mucha gente lo será.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE FROM JUST EAT. The pizza was disgusting, soggy, greasy, wet and undercooked. Inedible. Sent photos to Just Eat for a refund and was refused 24 hours later. Apparently the pizza quality may vary between restaurants. Well, thats interesting considering we have ordered from here hundreds of times before. To be honest the quality has gone down and the price is extortion. To top it off the Just Eat driver takes ages and then their customer service is appalling. So, a disabled person who cannot leave their home had to pay nearly 20 quid for a pizza that went in the dustbin. Fantastic. Restaurant, take note that your delivery partner is making you look terrible. Also take note that your own 'chefs' need to know how to cook a pizza correctly. Maybe head office needs to give you a better budget for ingredients and staff training? So, allround waste of time. Don't make the mistake we did.
