Environment: The Sky Pod is located in the center of the area near the elevators. Place your order at the counter and grab one of the tables or lounge chairs in the area. What was ordered: A pint of Heineken and an Aspall Mulled Cyder. It was my first time trying the mulled cyder and I thought it was pretty tasty. It was sweet, slightly warm with a tangy orange taste. There was also a slice of orange in it. Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The Heineken was pretty basic but the cyder was very interesting. The view was also nice but would have been even better if it wasn't gloomy and drizzly; too bad we can't control the weather! A staff member will come by to collect your glass as soon as it's empty. It did take a while to find an empty spot since a lot of people were just sitting around even if they weren't drinking. Other than that, it was a nice experience to have while enjoying the view and the Garden. Credit cards are accepted.

Great club. Heard about it for ages before I lived in the UK and now that I'm here I've been…read moreseveral times. I've never really been into the UK Garage/Grime/2Step stuff but luckily one of the weekend nights is dedicated to stuff I do like (House & Techno) so there's always something happening I'll probably enjoy. Getting in is as streamlined as it can be for a club that was required to add some extra scurtiny. I've never had to wait that long and it's painless. Once you're in it's like a giant industrial complex dedicated to high quality dance music. Really like the people wearing shirts like "Don't Be a Creep" because yes, don't be that person.

They helped us celebrate our anniversary with a glass of bubbles while we flipped through the book of drinks. Drinks are unlike anything I've seen on other menus with creative ingredients and presentations. We finally decided on the Bon Echo- which came in a beautiful glass that glowed blue from the base and held a small bird inside a clear globe. It was photo worthy and even better to drink. I also loved the Lucknow Cocktail- a brilliant combo of whisky, kombucha, lemon, vetiver and bergamot liqueur and champagne. It was the best champagne cocktail I can recall. Skyefall was a bit too smoky for me, but B enjoyed it. We also tried the rum-based Montego Boulevard which came with a small chocolate bowl filled with nuts. There's a small food menu with an OK edamame hummus tostada that was specked with daikon kimchi. I wish it had more of that yummy kimchi! My mind was blown by the sweet potato- a very thick slice coated in nuts and served with a green curry ice cream and spicy sambal. OMG- so many flavors and textures. Incredible. Definitely recommend this place.

The service was great too!

We found ourselves steps away from the Covent Garden Cocktail Club after dinner last night so I…read moresuggested we stop in, thinking I might get to sample the strawberry daiquiri on their menu made with Bacardi gold, pressed lime and strawberry jam. As we descended the stairs we fell into an alternate universe where people were singing Ace of Base at the top of their lungs and dancing like "All That She Wants" was going to save us all. As if that wasn't awesome enough, the DJ followed it up with "The Sign" and the crowd roared. Talk about knowing your target audience! The bar was several people deep so ordering cocktails seemed pretty out of the question (not to mention rude) so the four of us drank Japanese beer instead. Too loud to converse with one another we had an amazing time watching everything going on around us: the super tall bloke with a popped collar polo shirt who had at least one arm in the air the entire time who knew the words to every song played, the folks attempting swing dancing in too small an area, the gigantic wall-size mirrors that made the place feel so much bigger than it was and several times confused us into thinking that the place had multiple rooms. The crowd consisted of folks ages twenty to fifty and had a large portion of young women who had, clearly, put in loads of effort for their big night out. More surprising to me, the older dudes in the striped shirts who appeared to have come into central London from a fairly far off exurb seemed just as at home here as the early twenties ladies in mini dresses and carefully applied makeup and super done hair. And me in my climate-appropriate outfit? I sensed the possibility of this place. I'll be back to sample the cocktails some weeknight soon.

Not just because I appreciate that it's the oldest restaurant in London (I love the history), or that it's a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of nearby Piccadilly Circus and Chinatown, but because the food and drinks are still very good. The staff comes off as stuffy and snooty, but I think that's to weed out any undesirables. They are absolutely welcoming and fantastic. I walked in with a hoodie and sneakers and no reservation and still was seated upstairs at the bar with a glass of champagne and snacks. I needed to take some time to rest my feet from a full day of walking London. If you're a Downton Abbey buff, you'll recognize this as the restaurant where Edith and Bertie first connected. It's just as cool in real life as it is on the small screen. I'd recommend you come in for drinks in the upstairs bar, or make your reservations well in advance to have the film and true experience.

In 9 out of 10 interactions, the staff were genuinely excellent--warm, attentive, and clearly trained in the fine art of making guests feel like royalty (as you'd expect at this price point). There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, a steady stream of live music drifting through the late afternoons into the evenings, and quite possibly the best cleaning and turn-down service I've ever encountered--truly next-level pillow fluffing. Now, my one gripe: the light--or lack thereof. Despite having three decently sized windows, they're covered in a mysterious film that blocks natural light more effectively than blackout curtains ever could. It gives the rooms (and oddly, the lobby too) a slightly subterranean vibe--perfect if you're a vampire, less ideal if you're someone who enjoys knowing whether it's day or night.

The decker is also very trendy with the dimly lit speakeasy vibe. The service was great. Cannot wait until I'm in London again to go back and try another one of the options on the tasting menu.

The space isn't a true speakeasy as there's a clear entrance you go to, vs finding the secret entrance and all that jazz. Aside from that, the vibe is moody and chill. Menus are in the books at the tables. They offer ala carte drinks or you can choose their 5 drink tasting menu which is popular. We all got the tasting menu, every person getting a different theme. Drinks are creative, whimsical, fun and playful. I'm not much of a drinker so I was concerned this would be a bit much for me, but this is about the experience, the drinks werent too big or overly boozy, or anything. The themes from the 39 euro tasting menu are: 1. Cocktail history. This is the most traditional drink direction 2. Naughty childhood. Drinks are candy and dessert based. Not necessarily overly sweet so don't worry about that. 3. Nature. 4. West meets east. Asian themed drinks. This was most creative and I wish I got this one. 5. Gourmet. French themed. This is the one that didn't get chosen from our group. 6. Get ready and go. London themed. All the drinks were super creative. There was so much thought around presentation put into them. And they update their drinks regularly. I'll definitely come back so I can try more of the other themes. Note. They have very very minimal snacks available so make sure you eat ahead of time.
