    Passion Fruit Martini
    Norman W.

    Looking on the internet we came across this bar to visit on out trip to Covent Garden. Opening at 3.00 pm we thought it would be a perfect choice for a martini after our visit to The London Film Museum. Finding it can be difficult as the entrance is quite small. From Covent Garden, facing the London Transport Museum it is on the left just before the museum. Down the stairs to the basement leads into this fantastic bar. As we were early there were only two others inside but this filled out as the hour went on and, I would imagine, fills to capacity later in the day especially as their Happy Hour lasts from 3.00 to 10.00 pm. Immediately we sat down a waiter popped over to say 'Hi' and explained which pages of the extensive cocktail menu was covered by the Happy Hour. He then left us for a few minutes while we perused. Shortly after he returned and we ordered a Passion Fruit martini and a Dirty martini. I was asked whether I preferred vodka or gin. Those martinis were the almost the best I have tasted and another, naturally, went down. Unusually, my Dirty martini had a hint of thyme along with the olives. Then comes the bill. Surprisingly, four cocktails during the Happy Hour came to £18. Now, in this part of town this comes as a 'no brainer'. Where would you get such a great deal. Check it out guys, well worth a visit.

    Dirty Martini is fabulous for their Happy Hours more than anything else. I have been to the jam packed outlet on Liverpool Street. This was the first visit to the one in Covent Garden. It's cozier (read: smaller :D) but less crowded. I caught up with a friend, who is relatively new to London and she loved it. Feels like a little cellar. What I also love about Dirty Martini is their mango and chilli martini - it packs a pungent and sweet flavor...there are days I have longed for it. Also like their lavender martini. Good ambiance and nice place to catch on a few rounds of drinks after work.

    After fun times at the mulled wine festival, I deceived to get a quick cocktail with a yelp friend near Covent Garden. As a big fan of dirty martini, for their enormous cocktail list, it was a no brainer to go here and we were particularly happy to learn the happy hour went on till 10. The cocktail list is full of great choices, from classic to more incentive concoctions like strawberry and basil martini, and pear and ginger martini. I love anything different so the menu really impressed me. What let it down is it's quite a small venue and after work, it's full, so can make it hard to find anywhere to stand.. Seating is out of the question without a reservation.. Would stop by for a cocktail, but definitely prefer some of the other dirty martinis in London, where there is more space to dance and a chance to sit down.

    This basement bar in the heart of Covent Garden is a great place to start the night with their 2 for 1 Martinis and drinks offer. They are well made, yummy and there are lots of options to choose from. The DJs play a great set of music too! The downside is the wait, I have never gotten a drink in less than 30 minutes which is a shocking wait. They need more staff behind the bar very badly.

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!

Maybe it was…read morebecause it was kind of (not really) late and there weren't many other places open (aside from the first place we tried across the street who told us the kitchen was closed even though they were open for another 3 hours) but the place was packed! And it was loud. I guess technically it was a darts place and so there was a lot of excitement near the dartboard area. The bar staff were all buzzing about shaking their shakers and pouring drinks. It was a great vibe - apropos for a Friday night. Ok we got the little bit lychee drink (subbed vodka for gin) which was excellent with what looked like a dark dahlia floating on top. I wanted to try a British beer and got the magic rock saucery session pale ale (saying its name is like a built in sobriety test). The ale was definitely IPA but with a really clean finish. And because I'm a pig, ordered the fries with truffle cheese. Wow that was so so good! Shoestring fries with a heavy drizzle of truffle melted cheese. I can't really complain about the super loud music since it probably suited the main clientele and was really good (club versions of many 80s songs). So it looks like a really fun joint for the young locals with some older folks who maybe stumbled in like we did. Really nice bartenders and front staff. Thanks for not giving us a BS line to keep us out like the other place.

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.
