    Fellini:   Coffee, Vodka, Limoncello, Soda (Mmmm... good).
    Tracey A.

    When I headed off to London, Perrier's 2019 announcement of the world's 50 best bars hadn't yet been published. The 2018 edition listed Bar Termini at #6, and it also made the list in 2017 and 2016. Not that I base my happiness on such things, but perhaps the fact that it's not on the latest list means that you'll find it easier to get a seat inside this intimate space. The place is very popular and for good reason. What a special little find. Inspired by Rome's Termini train station bar, Bar Termini's servers are young, handsome, and look just spiffy in their white train-car jackets. I hadn't made a reservation but they made space for me on the proviso that I leave my table by a time when it was supposedly reserved by others. That time came and went and I went in for a second round of drinks; it appeared that nobody was going to boot me but I had other plans and couldn't have stayed for a 3rd round even if allowed. Bar Termini is a little hive of activity with a handful of prized food offerings, coffee drinks, and some very eclectic, very well made cocktails. I wanted to try more of the menu but when round 2 came I couldn't help but re-up on my first choice, the Fellini, a coffee-vodka concoction that I was certain would leave me staring at the ceiling at 4 a.m. Sleep be damned; I'll have the second Fellini. Bar Termini might not have made it onto Perrier's 2019 list but it's right there on mine. It's like a trip to Rome without leaving London. And, should you want to explore the list further, head across the street to Swift (#46 in 2018, #41 in 2019) - you know - for when Bar Termini needs your table.

    The drinks may be delicious but they are horribly overpriced. There are very few tables and few places to sit. We arrived before the theater to a packed house. After waiting for a table we had to squeeze into a very tight space. The seats were horribly uncomfortable! To save on space they had several stools without a back. The drinks were nice, but of average quality and size. The taste was good, but certainly not worth the price. I was shocked when I received the bill. The staff was not very friendly. They acted like they were put out to have to take our order. Based on my experience, I will not be visiting this location again. It was definitely not worth the price in either experience or in drinks.

    Such a perfect bar. The vibe, the music, the low lighting, the fun bartenders. I don't really even love Italian style cocktails (Prosecco, etc) but I could spend hours here. Don't skip it if you're debating! Hit Swift and Tea room afterwards ;)

    Negroni superiore, which indeed it was

    There's something about this bar that just clicks. It is really well put together in terms of decor, service and drinks and was just a real pleasure to visit. I would probably avoid at busy times because it's not big (although you can book! how civilised!) but for a late weekend afternoon aperitivo it was perfect just to drop in. We tried the spicy negroni and thought it was fabulous - the presentation in a tiny adorable cocktail glass was great too. A real star out of many bars in Soho, and a great slice of Italian finesse.

    Marsala martini!

    Intimate old school Italian throwback from the look and drinks, but not my speed.

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.
