All Bar One

Good deal for a bottle of prosecco and 3 small dishes for £25.however very understaffed.

Awful, awful, awful! Run from this place. Worst service I have ever experienced. I will never return and will tell everyone to avoid this horrible place.
Every one of their restaurants is significantly understaffed both in numbers and competence. In our most recent visit, my wife and I waited well over 30 minutes before someone even acknowledged us. The acknowledgment was to ask us to change tables to a much smaller one that hadn’t been cleaned. So terribly rude.
There is simply no excuse for such treatment.
I looked around at people’s dishes. Several looked very greasy.

It’s a pretty place with nice drinks for the night but I don’t recommend it during the day. The prices are high, always, no matter the hour. But you can at least get service at night. I went for breakfast, and though the place was nearly empty, it took at least ten minutes until a waiter asked me my order. Before that, he just stood at the bar looking bored.

Ok, I’m slightly against ABOs simply because they aren’t really «proper» pubs and there are loads of them. However, I acknowledge they do the thing they are supposed to-​provide a convivial-​if LOUD!!!-environment with good libations. I can’t really fault it for that. I hadn’t been to this branch for a long while until this visit but it used to be a regular haunt. It’s just the same as it was. It’s pretty good really-​good selection of wines and fancy foreign lagers on draft and bottles. No real ales, but hey-​the demographics are sub 35 so they they aren’t bothered, which is fair enough. I’ve eaten the food previously and it was ok. Personally I’d drink here and go get a great carnitas burrito from Benitos Hat round the corner. Just a suggestion.

Awful breakfast at a ridiculous price. We did not get what we ordered, and we were promised a big portion but ended up getting 2 measly pieces of toast with barely anything on it. Do not stop here for breakfast

Food was ok (the eggs in my eggs benedict were hard boiled, not runny). Service was incredibly slow despite the fact that no one was there. I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

We (group of 6) went to this place on Saturday for a brunch.
The food and the drinks were very tasty, the service was also alright and friendly, we couldn’t complain.
For a brunch I definitely can recommend this place!

I’ve been here a couple times now, and everytime, the food and drinks are fine but the service couldn’t be worse.
I had the chicken quesadilla and shared the calamaris with a friend. Both dishes were good, especially given the relatively cheap price. I also had the pad thai here before which was rather unique; they used glass noodles instead of flat rice noodles, and the sauce was more western than authentic Thai. They have a relatively good selection of drinks as well.
With that said, the service is terrible. I’ve always had to go up to the bar to get them to come serve us at the table. They’re curt and simply unhelpful. Perhaps it’s a matter of being short-​staffed in which case they should really look into hiring more people.
The location is very convenient, especially after a stroll on the Regent Street. It’s literally a few steps from Oxford Circus tube as well.
Go for a few drinks, but if for food, just prepare to be almost serving yourself.

It’s just by Oxford Circus and I wasn’t going to go in until my bus unexpectedly terminated its route and kicked us all off. As a friend of mine was in there I thought I’d grab a drink before heading home.
It was full of the suited and booted and prices reflected a West End bar. We got some seats outside and all was relatively okay. Just nothing special…

We love ABO… not this one. The service was poor. The waiter asked my husband «something fries?» He said yes we want fries. We were charges £2 extra for fries which are included with burgers. Wtf? They were stone cold when served… service charge for cold food? Lol. We were starving and didnt have a lot of time. But we wont go back.

Quite a decent bar considering how close it is to Oxford Circus and shopping! But for a Weds night it was busy and the staff where really friendly. Very good selection of wine but unfortunately I only had time to try two but can definitely recommend the Silent Angel cocktail.

Mind you my review is a bit biased.
Basically we needed somewhere nearby to grab a drink before going home and it was closing time already for most places around on a Friday night. This place was about 30 minutes from closing but wasn’t that packed and didn’t have a cover charge.
Lots of seating, nice bartenders, cheaper than most places around, about £3.95 for a cocktail that may or may not have been watered down (only had the one and couldn’t tell)
My friend compared it to slug and lettuce. The kind of place you go to when there’s nothing else.
But I’d come back here if I were in the area and needed a place to sit for a bit and order a cheap cider. meh.

I have been here several times since it is so close to the office but coming for lunch on Sunday was a mistake. They were out of the two ales on tap and out two of the three vegetarian dishes which looked good. I guess I just picked the wrong day. The risotto and prawn linguine were OK, not much more.

I happened across this particular All Bar One after ducking out of the intense traffic of Oxford Street during the christmas shopping rush. Located a little way from Oxford Circus station but away from the busy shopping areas, Regent Street’s All Bar One is a brilliant location to stop and recuperate after a hard days shop. Sadly, as you can expect of an All Bar One, there isn’t to much else to say about it. This is pretty much the equivalent of a middle-​class Whetherspoons and has all the sphistication and style of a dehydrated haddock. The interior is much as you would expect, wooden flooring and tables, brass-​coloured bar and exposed ventilation pipes for that ‘quirky’ look, there’s nothing particularly eye-​catching or displeasing, theres just really not much to it.
There is a good range of European lagers available on tap and because it is a chain the prices are going to be fairly reasonable but for the sake of 50p I’d rather go somewhere with a bit more character.

Perfectly located on Regents Street not too far from Match Bar.
My friend and I often meet here for drinks and a bite because it is convenient and the staff are so friendly. Due to its central location it is always busy; business lunches, after work drinks, birthday parties or just tourist wandering past.
The glass exterior gives the venue a very light spacious feeling. Wooden chairs and tables spread throughout with a large well stocked bar.
It is not by any means a funky secretive little hidden bar. However it is sophisticated and we always know we will get what we want — whether that is the perfect place to have a huge gossip session or just a quick bite for lunch.
