Been in London for 5 days. Tonight was the best night of the week…read more Had a one hour wait at Hard Rock Cafe. They sent us to the back room to have a few beers and wait. Best decision ever. Callem and Dan were working the bar. Talked to them for three hours about music, concerts, history of London music scene. Ended up eating there instead of the big cafe. Good beer, good food. Great company. Live music on Thursdays. Had the legendary burger and salmon. Food was a nice complement to these young lads and their sense of humor.

Had to leave a review as I didn't see one for this little bar yet, which is located on the side of…read morethe Hard Rock Cafe London. It's a nice place to hang out while you'er waiting for a seat at the HR, which usually has a long wait. The bartender, who is of Irish decent is a great guy and is easy to converse with. I ended up having a few beers and a lemon drop for my wife while we watched a soccer game. Can get busy at the right time and there's even a beer pong table so could be a fun spot. Drinks weren't pricey either.

This restaurant is conveniently located in the station up a staircase (a little tricky to find) and…read morehas plenty of seating and clean toilets. You won't find much service here. You need to order yourself at the table by scanning a code and even more surprising there does not appear to be any web interface- you must download their app. As for the food, a little better then expected (but the bar was low). My daughter thought her chicken sandwich was okay, and my father in law though the same about the fish and chips (although he did really enjoy the chips). My son and I (and others) shared the wings combo which is 30 wings in 3 different sauces. This was really bizarre because they dumped all 30 wings into the same container with no separation, therefore you had no idea which flavor you were picking until it was in your mouth. Not great if you are dividing the wings with others who each want a specific flavor. The taste was okay, over sauced to the point were the chef clearly didn't have confidence in his product. If you want a comfortable place to relax and are not too picky with food and don't need attentive service who only come out after you have already ordered food in the app, this place is okay.

The "grill" portion of "bar & grill" left much to be desired. I can tell that nothing here was made fresh and not because I've seen a lot of kitchen nightmares. The staff is friendly, service is prompt, but if you set the bar extremely low, maybe you won't be disappointed.

This is all wrapped in a dark brown and black interior that feels quite chic. The bar menu is straight burgers and fries. Starting at £2.95 for a classic burger they are great value for money and tasty. You get the full works ar Rileys, poker, pool, snooker, darts, Wii and 3D TV. The only thing that still needs to be ascertained is the clientèle. Are they chavvie or are they cool? Either way, for pure interaction and fun Rileys IQ has everything you could possibly want.

The bar tenders were always very kind and friendly, and I absolutely love the original decor they designed the bar with.

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!

There was a large selection of delicious pizzas. I loved that they could accommodate to allergies. The one negative was that the pizza dough was totally charred on the back which gave this bitter taste. It definitely took away from the deliciousness of the pizzas. All four pizzas came out this way. One was so burnt that we had to send it back. They were nice about it. Wish they took it easy in the pizza oven rather than let the dough get to the point where it's burnt.

I've try few of their locations over the years of visiting London, but to be honest, their pizzas are not flavorful. The only dominant flavor comes from the crust and all the toppings are mute, flavor wise. On my visit to this location I ordered no. 10 with Wild mushrooms and truffle oil, as I mentioned that before with all the umami ingredients, flavors were lacking. Restaurant looked clean and hostess was attentive enough. It is good if you really need sourdough pizza, other than that I am sure you can find better pizza elsewhere in London.
