Noisy and dark 29th November 2008

Perhaps I'm getting old, but I didn't have much of a good time in The Light Bar. I came here on Friday night and found it to be noisy, really dark and rammed; same as any bar in London on a Friday night, I suppose.

Their choice in music was a touch bizarre. Drum and bass was the choice of the evening and was a bit of a downer. The crowd were a mix of post-work suits and girls dolled up to the nines, ready for a night out. Lots of jostling to get to the bar.

Unfortunately, when I was here my drinks weren't very good. Vodka, lime and soda came in a warm glass with slightly flat soda and only a small wedge of lime; luckily I tasted it before I left the bar as I had to ask the barman to chuck some lime cordial in it. Vodka and water isn't my thing. Still, the staff are friendly and they heat the outdoor space, which is a plus.

Doesn't sound like the best night! :-(

I've only been there very late and had a similar experience although the cocktails were nice.

I didn’t have an amazing time, but I have to say the service is pretty good the waitresses take their time to ask you about your evening and the drinks are mixed to perfection.

They’ve stripped back the walls to bare bricks and have given the space and industrial feel.

The Light is a great spot with a large outdoor area. Very popular on a Friday night so you may want to book a table or get there early to grab a seat. Because it was busy getting a drink took a while unfortunately, but a good atmostphere.
