Quite possibly my favorite bar we visited while in London. The vibes were IMMACULATE. The music was 10/10 and the bartenders were quick and skilled with the drinks. We happened to just be walking by and I'm so glad we discovered this spot because it seems like a bit of a hidden gem. I really loved it and wish there was a bar like this near me in the states! read more

Blame Gloria is such a fun cocktail bar in Covenant Garden! The vibe, staff, upbeat music and happy hour deals are a win here. You'll have a great time at Blame Gloria. Blame Gloria has a two for one happy hour deal of their entire cocktail menu, so that's a win. And they don't skimp out on the booze when they make them. We visited and the place wasn't too busy, but had some patrons inside. The entire place is decorated with bright, colorful flowers and neon lights. I'm a fan. It goes along with the old school hip hop jams they were playing. For cocktails, I had the sticky toffee old fashioned, which was dangerously strong but the toffee was a nice, sweet addition. For my second drink, I had the eton mess, which is served in a freaking bird cage and comes with a macaron. You really can't go wrong here, friends. If you're looking for a fun happy hour in the Covenant Garden neighborhood, you need to Blame Gloria. read more

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!!!!! read more

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. read more

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!) read more

I LOVED this place Last minute decision to go in and they did not disappoint Amazing cocktails Fun fun vibe Great music Hit happy hour and it was a great time First time trying a Porn Star martini A little too sweet for my taste so I moved on to a fresh lime gin gimlet. Sheer perfection They know their cocktails Didn't eat so I don't even know if they have food The bartender was attentive and friendly Her Service was fast - we never were left with empty glasses even with the Hen party getting many paddle shots Stop by if you get a chance You won't regret it read more

NON-REFUNDABLE- Beware, if you purchase tickets on the Blame Gloria website, the terms are not provided. They will argue that the terms are provided on designmynight.com and provided after purchase. Seems like a bait and switch. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Fun and energetic bar! There was a random compilation of music but the songs kept you dancing! Loved it! Felt like I heard so many old favs! And the cocktail list was amazing! The smoky whiskey drink with a foamy top and a side of bacon was over the top but man it tasted good! Yum! What a fun night out! read more

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. read more

Georgia is an amazing bartender. She really knows her stuff. I had the best off menu daiquiri I've ever had (anywhere) there was a lot of depth to my cocktail. Though simple recipe she paid great attention to detail. Sometimes I think the hardest thing is to make a simple dish/cocktail taste exceptional and Georgia's daiquiri was all that and a bag of chips. Great ambiance. Neon lights and cool decor. Comfy booths, friendly and fun atmosphere. An easy walk from Leicester Square tube. Hop and a skip away from Covent Garden. Will definitely be coming back! Apparently Gloria (the bar's namesake) was a music groupie that shared fluids with the likes of Jimmy Hendrix and everyone in Led Zepelín. She opened Blame Gloria (in the 70s?) and this was a place of much debauchery and wild parties. When I asked "Where is Gloria now? Is she still alive?" The answer was "she disappeared. Must be somewhere in America" Great bar. Fun friend night, date night. non-pretentious atmosphere. Five solid gold stars! read more

Such a fun pub when in a London! The drinks were great our bartender made us a custom to order drink that tasted almost like a milk shake! Soooo delish! The music was a great mix of top 40 with some oldies thrown in which I don't 'mind at all! Honestly such a fun spot and the shots were not too bad for 6 shots of tequila about 25lbs. The only down side is that they closed relatively early, but truthfully a great time all around! When in London wouldn't mind visiting again just make sure to call ahead to see if they close at the time they advertise because it closed sooner than advertised on yelp. Cheers! read more

I LOVE everything about this bar! The decor, the music and the drinks were the perfect concoction. Definitely one to check out for their colorful vibes and IG-worthy photo opportunities. :) read more

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! read more

In the end we went there. Didn't get a table but the drinks were really nice. They probably do need to do more about how many people they let in because it was heaving and takes away from the experience... read more

I've always loved Blame Gloria, they do really nice cocktails!!!!! Lovely night outs in London thanks to them

After the place had been recommended we showed up and said hello at the door, however, the doorman's strange posture made us continue to another place without much hesitation. On a friendly hello he responded with "Do you have a question for me?" "if you show up here you must have a question for me!". Initially we thought he demands some kind of a codeword, but then, that behavior was just a bit too strange for our taste and we lost interest to further discuss what this was all about. Add on, we showed up in smart casual and totally sober, maybe that was the mistake. ;) read more

Very loud! Impossible to meet up with friends for a nice cocktail after work. You can't hear anything. and it kinda smelled. Go to Alchemy instead read more

This cocktail bar has a quirky interior and romantic atmosphere. Had a Sink the Pink and Love Potion and both were very sugary, but tasty cocktails. Would go back for another quick cocktail but not to spend the whole night. read more
