Purl London

Nice cosy atmosphere but they only had two staff on, one taking orders the other making drinks, during a very busy festive period. We were told no food was available (sharing boards of cheese and meat) because it was too busy but then food was given to other customers about an hour later. 4 of us spent close to 2 hours there and only had the opportunity to get 2 drinks each. We left because of the poor service and hunger.

The restaurant has a fantastic location and decor that give off a speakeasy vibe. It's perfect for enjoying drinks after dinner. The music was fantastic and made me want to dance, but I was with work colleagues so I couldn't really let loose.

Nice location very speakeasy way. The rooms are in some shadows with vintage couch and armchairs. Cozy private tables, rooms. The cocktail list is very anonymous without character, we choose 3 cocktails from their signature, very lightly,Purl Spritz is a white wine spritz and white vermouth. That 's it. Outbreak flames presentation, surprisingly, another one(first of the list, forgot the name, sorry) served in a ancient bowl with cubes ice, bot esy to drink. However the experience was good the only thing is the service, very slow, between take the order and when you receive the cocktail more then 20min. I will back? Not sure.

Online pictures are deceiving. This was a huge let down. Cold, soulless and scruffy. Women’s toilets were disgusting. Sanitary bin was overflowing and the staff weren’t interested in solving the problem. The bar was really under stocked for 8pm on a Saturday. We wanted to start with a bottle of champagne and they advised they only had 1 bottle left in the building. I had a signature cocktail that was recommended by the barman as their best. It was the Mr Hyde. I’m a smokey, strong spirits fan but this was not drinkable. The Smoke flavour had a chemical taste to it. Almost like burnt plastic. I also tried to arrange before our arrival for some special welcome drinks for a friends birthday (that I would obviously pay for) and my requests were pushed around and eventually ignored. When I asked in person the response was they were never informed of anything. Big let down especially as the pictures look so good and classy. I expect these pictures were taken several years ago when the bar was in a decent condition and drinks were prepared to a decent standard. Unfortunately, it’s now quite run down and the drinks are lacklustre

Horrible place that does not pay its staff. I worked here for a few weeks and after requesting the bar manager multiple times to pay me, I never received any payment (when the payments were supposed to be weekly). Later he completely ghosted me! Even the drinks are over priced and staff is under payed. There are much better bars out there. If you care
