Such a shame. Have lived in FP for a long time, seemed like it could have been a great newcomer bar. Unfortunately without warning & part way through our drinks we were asked to leave immediately by the male bouncer at 12:13, his attitude was confrontational & rude, laughing about our expectations at a reasonable service & saying it didn’t matter as he worked for an agency. The manager was dismissive when she came over, she suggested that we finish our drinks in 5 minutes or less.
I don’t think I have had such poor service in London for a long time, how can you serve drinks at 12 and then think it’s acceptable to kick people out 15 minutes later, without any attempt at communicating an earlier closing time (either at the bar or by going by tables and announcing the early closure)? The owners must not care about the business lasting, it won’t when the staff have such a ridiculous attitude.
That said, decent service from male bar tender and drinks were nice enough and reasonably priced.
We were a group of 4, local to the bar, none are interested in going back. If an owner would like some honest feedback, feel free to...
Read moreI am sooooooo happy this place opened, it’s just what Finsbury Park needed!
First of all it looks amazing, kind of like a 70s version of Soho House, the attention to detail (art work, nod to the football crowd, fixtures & fabrics…) is incredible.
Then the food and drinks are also stunning. I was already a fan of Ace pizza (at the Penbury & Five Points arches) but to have that by the slice alongside those tacos, corn ribs and calamari is SPECIAL. For drinks the margs are my recommendation; esp the pomegranate one 😋Also really good value at two for £12.
When we went it was still soft opening and the staff were so lovely! Really open and chatty and when we ordered at the table asked us to order at the bar so they could practise cute ! So much respect for new hospitality ventures after the last 2 years and to be met with such open, unpretentious and friendly service was a breath of fresh air!
(We’ve already arranged to go back this...
Read moreBooked a table this past Saturday. Lively environment with great music- loud enough to keep up with the ambience but you’re still able to have a conversation.
There was a slight issue with our table, from what I gather there were a couple of students sitting there and weren’t too keen on moving as it was the only booth available. Staff were very professional and solution oriented, and as we didn’t really make a fuss about having a booth, and were slightly early for our reservation as it was, we were happy to move to another table. Throughout the night the service was quick and pleasant and the floor staff were constantly walking around keeping the floor tidy - we were even kindly offered a booth as soon as one became available.
Great margaritas, I had the spicy one and it was spot on. We shared a bunch of food in-between us so we got to try a bit of everything and it was all delicious.
All around a great night, will...
