Yep, if you blame Yoko Ono for the band's breakup, you can certainly blame it on Gloria who led Jimi Hendrix down the path of doom... Friendly vibe great staff and who told us their one bucket list they have is to attend an " American frat party " when they were talking to my daughter who was in a Sorority during her college years! Drinks were amazing especially the Eton Mess was my favorite! Rivals that of bridges & bourbon cocktail bar! A true hidden gem located underground literally in the tunnel for which Londoners used during WWII for shelter! So deserving of 5 stars!!!!!

Porn-Star martini

This was such a groovy bar to come to, and the prices weren't bad at all. I ordered the porn star, martini, and took advantage of the special that they were running (buy one, get one). I was thinking the music, and overall the aesthetic vibe. I would definitely come back here.

BOGO drinks

I was pleasantly surprised to come across this bar during a recent London trip. The inside is beautifully decorated and very detailed, especially all of the collages in the restrooms. I was delighted to find that the cocktails were Buy One Get One- blame Gloria (me) for that! I was disappointed that they do not sell merchandise. I tried to buy one of the bartenders shirts but they weren't giving it up! (my offer still stands- name your price!)

We had so much fun at Blame Gloria. The songs were on point and so much fun to sing along and dance to. I enjoyed the drinks and the overall vibe, would recommend to friends looking for an evening drink and fun night

Ambience and drinks amazing, please any surprise as it looked like underground subway, comfortable booths . I Would return fun time..

This place was a really fun time. The bartenders were very friendly, lively, and attentive. The decor was super "Instagrammable" and fun. The music kept us off our seats and dancing. One thing I appreciate as a girl with a little sister is how safe it felt to us. Going to bars/clubs can sometimes feel scary, but Blame Gloria made us feel at home.

What a fun spot nearly hidden in a central location! Head downstairs to find a very bright and colorful bar reminiscent of Miami in the late 80s/ early 90s. I was fully expecting music from that era but it was a mix of old and new. There are two seating areas, suspect one may open for dancing later in the evening. We arrived in time for a nice surprise, happy hour! 2 for 1 drink specials from the cocktail menu from 4-7pm weekdays. Great drinks too, well made. I will also say that they had one of the cleanest and coolest bathrooms I have ever seen in London. A definite plus! I will be back for sure.

Lovely Bar in Central London! Had a fun night before going off to watch the Avengers: End Game. Happy hours is between 4-7pm. Their selection of Cocktails are good, there's a lot of varieties to suit anyone's taste. Midnight Flower, for those who like a fruity cocktail, is honestly a must try! The layout and decor of the bar is very snazzy. Although narrow, it has enough room to dance around to their wonderful music. The bartenders are friendly and fun to be served by.

Good vibes !

Cool bar with a fun vibe. Great happy hour deal (2 for 1) and the drinks were interesting/thoughtful!

One of the more creative joints in London I've been this trip. Very fun & lively decor and ambiance. The bartenders are fast and effective with a few of them having quite a good sense of humor on top of that. The cocktails are creative just like the environment they're brought up in. Try the plum sake negroni for a classic with a twist but I'd you're in for something a bit fruitier and modern I recommend the pornstar martini. The happy hour is from 4-7 and it's basically two for one as long as it's the same cocktail. Bring a date and explore the cocktail menu for a fun night out!! Cheers!

FRIES WITH TRUFFLE CHEESE The fries weren't as crispy as I would've liked, but the soft bite similar to mashed potatoes was pretty good. The cheese itself really carried the rich flavors of the truffle without overwhelming your tastebuds. Such a decadent cheese. SALT AND PEPPER SQUID The squid meat itself wasn't over cooked which is easy to do and makes it feel like you're chewing on a tire. Not the case here. The squid was fried perfectly, nice and crispy first bite. The garlic aioli complimented the batter they used to fry the squid in, very tasty. PEKING DUCK LETTUCE WRAPS These lettuce wraps were the perfect two bites sized appetizers. Such a flavorful and well cooked duck. The cucumber salad and lettuce helped bring the intensity of flavors down so that you could enjoy every bite. There's a full bar, but service is a little slow and congested. Staff are really nice and friendly. The dart games are so involved where each player can have their selfie taken and name displayed on the board. You can compete as teams or against each other depending on your chosen game. At the end, there is a final game stats to show who won and a group photo to conclude all the fun. A fantastic way to test out your dart skills and have fun with your loved ones!

I have been to two different locations, but they were both gorgeous spots, like the look and vibe is top notch. The drinks? Kitschy and weird as hell. Do they taste good though? Live up to the price and the hype? YES. 1000% The drinks are fun and funny and most have some sort of little quirk...color changing, in a weird vessel, tasty sweet garnishes, etc. But they also all taste amazing. Some are a show to watch them being made, some are diy mixed at the table by you. I was brought here the first time by a family friend who lives in London, and when I returned a year and a half later, with our hotel around the corner from an Alchemist, I made ALL my friends on the trip go here on our first night. And we all returned at least once more during our week in the city. Service was good and patient with our large group, food was decent...I simply have had an amazing time every time I have gone to the Alchemist and if there was one in my hometown I would be out of house and home giving them all my money. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

The Alchemist was literally at the bottom of our Airbnb, making it incredibly convenient--and I'm…read moreso glad we stopped in. The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.
