We were here on a Friday night and surprisingly it was rather empty. I don't really mind this however, you kind of expected to have a fuller bar for a venue based in the middle of London. The music was not too loud but was upbeat modern music which, with the look of the bar, the music, all was missing was the people! They have an extensive cocktail menu with bar food. It is laminated which I rather dislike at adult venues (where children will not be plastering the menu with odd bits of food, that's what I mean by 'adult'!) I'd probably pop in again, maybe different nights it is busier.

Another neighborhood gem, found simply by taking a walk in town. We had just arrived in London (9/24/13) for a week visit while visiting family and friends and landed in an area near Wapping/White Chapel. We were hungry and took a walk, and mind right by a McDonalds making to sure to minimize any visits to a familiar friendly venue and explore, take chances at a local eatery and in this case local pub (yay!). One thing I recall about pubs as opposed to bars in the states is that they are family friendly environments, way more so than in the states. We (two adults to two near 4 year old twin toddlers) first walked by this pub and I noticed a few locals sitting at the bar (about 5pm) just like any local bar. Went another block didn't see much and came right back to this location when my partner said okay let's go to McDonalds and I said no right as we were walking right back toward out flat and I said no we're going in here. Smart move, only a your neighborhood pub, nothing special about the decor, kind of rustic, even a little beat up but comfortable even with little kids. First thing I ordered was a Stella on tap (yes!) and the kids took immediately to one of what turns out to be three cats on premises. This is great since entertaining toddlers is important part of the dining experiencing, and this part is great since it allows the adults to actually eat without too much bother from managing kids. The two adults have fish and chips and beef lasagne. First the fish. I love cod and it comes out as one breaded filet and this seems adequate but not too flavorful since it required tartar sauce (my measure of good fish and chips is if you can eat the fish and enjoy it without tartar sauce) but it is not fishy and seems reasonably fresh. Chips was fine and there were PEAS which were a little mashy like a mix between steamed peas and split pea soup, still tasty. Beef lasagne was a generous portion (leftover next day was great!) with ground beef but a nice marinara sauce, not fine dining but good standard pub fare. Kids had chicken strips which were actually quite good. Perfectly cooked, moist and tasty, they loved them. And of course they loved the chips. There is a pool table which was open at the time we were there, a slot machine by the loo and TV for sports viewing. Plenty of room for large parties. There is also Friday night Karaoke for those inclined after inebriation. Recommend and would not hesistate to come back. In fact, our little boy wants to come back and play with Biscuits and his two mates, the cats!

I had a My Tie which was well flavoured and not one of those all ice stringy places. Parking our butts outside we got to catching up.. the place was booming full of smokers by the time we finished our cocktails but we decided to order a £15 boozy cocktail served in a teapot. Again this was of great value but by then we had worked up an appetite and wanted to leave the fag ash blowing into our faces. Overall a really well priced cosy place..you just have to time it right

If you've ever been to the other Simmons venues, this will be your cup of tea; if you've not then this is the best of the bunch and you should definitely check it out for a fun night with great drinks choices.

In a country where binge-drinking is a problem, Suburban displays a funny, apt pro-drinking slogan near their backdoor. You should read it! Cocktail wise I'd recommend the tangy Seabreeze, a cranberry concoction, or the wonderful F.B.I which features coffee liqueur, Bailey's, vodka and ice-cream. Hang around long enough, and you may even be inducted into the Suburban Wall of Fame.

When my chosen location for our engagement/going away party was booked and my back-up wanted to charge a £1000 minimum, I gave All Bar One a buzz and they both said "yes" and it was all free. Not a private space, but we had the whole back section reserved for our large group (25-40 throughout the night). The service was great - when I emailed with a question/concern a few days before the event I got a call back from the manager who was very helpful and positive. Our only problem on the day was with other customers constantly trying to crash our party/steal our space. My friend had to get a bit rude with a group of 10-15 people who decided that since one 2-top table wasn't currently occupied, they'd come push into the middle of the party with their trays of Jagerbombs. Eesh. But that wasn't AB1's fault. All the staff were kind, the drinks flowed, the food was decent for bar nibbles, and we had a great night.
