Helgi's — Restaurant in London

Really cool metal bar, unfortunately the owner took a disliking to me because I asked the bouncer which entrance to use and was pulled by my hair trying to enter, I was told I was deaf for not listening when they didn't say anything, and again inside told I was in the wrong for simply following the bouncers instructions, this was just a side door, fully available to public, other bands were there I think he wanted to look big Infront of them! No excuse for this behaviour in any establishment, I understand the point about not knowing what's in my bag etc, but nothing was said before entering to reiterate !

feel like he was probably more of a GM who loves the place but hey ho, when we finally patched it up with him he was even more rude and refused to amicably be friendly, he did shake hands but is far from a man or metalhead, good luck to you mate, reply whatever you want but please stop treating people so horribly I pray for your staff if this is how you treat your customers, one hospo to another do better.

Read the reply, no one told me not to use that door, the person at the door beckoned me in, you...

Great little bar with a rock/metal/alternative vibe. Friendly welcoming mask-donning staff who make sure your table service is top notch. Don't fret over the toilet smell; it is reasonably clean, and this place may well be the only rock bar in town with actual toilet seats. If you're sensible, drink enough and you shall only smell the incemse. Trouble-causing chavs beware...security will make sure patrons are protected. You will get your rear-end kicked and receive a proper wedgie such that you won't sit down for a month (and we get to circulate your photo in social media and create funny memes out of you). Plenty of kebab/dirty fried chicken places nearby if you fancy hanging with local gangstas, or order a plate of tasty food with the bar staff and you will soon be the envy of others around you (and suddenly believe it's your looks+charm that attracts people). During COVID times bookings are recommended. Contact details will be taken at door, but you won't be microchipped. Witchcraft knowledge or Satan-worshipping not compulsory, but highly...

Went in and asked if they had a charger before ordering. The girl there was very rude, she had two unused iPhone chargers behind her. She refused to let me use one and was very rude about it. I went to leave as I had no battery to pay for anything the manager outside stopped me and said she would let me use a charger. We went in and she picked up one of the disused chargers and put my phone on charge. She then said I had to apologise to her bar staff before serving me for being rude. I explained I had done nothing but ask for a charger, she then became rude and almost aggressive herself when I refused to apologise and I then left. All in all rude staff and unwelcoming. I’ve lived in hackney for 17 years and love the area and all the different bars in the area. But I have no time for rude staff like this. I would go somewhere a lot better, there and many places so much better than here where the atmosphere is better and the staff actually appreciate your custom No wonder...
