    Portuguese tapas bar. The food here is simply but well cooked! A nice option if you are in the London Bridge area. Highlights: delicious croquets and very nice iberico pork with an amazing red pepper sauce. And loved their pastel de nata for dessert! Their sparkling wine is great too! I will come back!

    Really lovely place with good service and great food. I had the sausage croquettes, cod hash (amazing!!) and octopus. Very nice wines and desserts too. Can't wait for I go back! It's small so reservations are a must on the weekend.

    Just brilliant. London needs more like this. Take note 'Polpo' the bar has been raised! I had the octopus which was delicious.

    Tasty Portuguese tapas, we had a carafe of Meio Queijo, kicking off with Pataniscas de Bacalhau, Grilled aubergine with garlic chilli dressing, lime zest and 18 month cured Serra cheese, Octopus with sweet potato, Pork 'Alentejana' with clams, finishing off with an Orange and olive oil cake with quince and 'queijo fresco'.

    The grilled sardines and grilled octopus were over done and dry to the bone! Not much taste, we were told that our food was fresh not frozen, wrong! Please get a chef that is hungry for fresh food and actually knows how to season and handle fish and seafood! The cheese and smoked meats tray was average! Will you please please serve with real Portuguese bread not English biscuits and substitute the very toasted and dried thin bread that was supposed to be garlic flavored which it had none! Train the staff and serve fresh food appropriately cooked and traditional Portuguese! Jonathan was our server, excellent job

    Drink this on a sunny afternoon!

    Fabulous Portuguese wine selection, great tapas, stupid expensive. Drink the Quinta de Maderne. It's fabulous on a hot day. Eat the roast suckling pig, it's delicious, order the cheeseboard, it's a real treat. Nurse your wallet it will be bleeding by the time you leave here.

Came here for pre-theater anniversary dinner with my wife. The ambiance was somewhere between that of a trendy club and nice bar. There was a mad scientist vibe with the lights being industrial vibe and some metal decor. The music was thumpy and loud enough to remind you it was there. It made me feel a bit out-of-place as somebody well past my 20s, but also a bit cool or being there. You really come here for the drinks. We got the pipe dream, smokey old fashioned, honeypot picante, and one other I can't remember the name of, but which came in a flower pot. The pipe dream and smokey old fashioned were likely the best. Overall the drinks were more visually appealing than traditionally good and the visually appealing ones tended to have ingredients that weren't as top shelf and/or they were just too sweet. Not bad, but disappointing for what we'd hope. The food was the opposite. I had low expectations and the food wasn't amazing, but was better than average. We got the bao buns, crispy duck pancakes, panko halloumi, katsu curry, and hot honey pork tacos. They arranged for it all to come out in time for us to make our theater show, which was nice. The bao buns and pork tacos were probably the best. Neither blew me away, but both were solid. The katsu curry and halloumi were standard of what you might expect. The crispy duck pancakes was maybe as advertised, but it would have been nice to have some moistness or substance to the dug vs. it basically being crunchy salty bits of something. Overall, this wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for either. We may be back, but we'll probably try other things first.

Whilst it's not the most posh place I've been, it usually gets the job done well. Drinks are how you would find at most pubs, and service is decent too, given how a waitress came to ask us what we wanted and served us amidst a busy rugby game (at other times, we had gone to the bar to order ourselves). There are quite a few tv screens as well as a big home theatre-like one too, which always adds to your sports watching experience. I've never had food here before but would like to try sometime. I hear that their wings are good. Be sure to bring an ID -- as its part of a casino facility, they check your ID even if you're here only for the bar and not for gambling.

Oddly, to open a tab, you have to give them both your credit/debit card AND your driver's license/passport/ID card. They give you a "badge" which you then show every time you order, apparently so they know which tab to bill it to. A bit weird to me, but maybe that's the norm in London, or at least in high-tourist bars in London. Also, they won't let men inside if you are wearing a hat-- you must remove the hat to enter. Fortunately, once inside, I put my hat back on and didn't have a problem with anyone saying anything. Glad my hat hair didn't have to be on display!

We were respectful and nonpolitical, she assumed from our ethnic backgrounds and treated us accordingly. She verbatim said she will not serve our kind. Then proceeded to tell all her bar tenders to no longer serve us. Regrettably we had to get our drinks upstairs. She went out of her way to stare at us from the top, making my mother uncomfortable. If you want a pub without employees making every thing political, this is not the spot. We do not even entertain politics, she just put us in a basket. This is the first time in my life I had to exit the pub because of the brainwashed ultra lefty employee. I love all people and people on the left, it sucks that this extremist ruined the night after spending our hard earned money. Honestly the pours were weak, the lighting was poor, and the drinks were heavily overpriced. It's some fake Irish bar.

It was the second pub I visited on my visit to London, and again, I can't wait to go back. First, the prices: in America, two drinks would have cost at least $20; here, two drinks were only £11. I would've spent the whole night there if I could, but when you're traveling and have places to be early the next day, it's hard. Second, the service and ambiance were great. They serve the drinks very quickly, and of course, they know how to pour a pint of Guinness.
