The 15 Best Outdoor Bars In London

"Admission time: the food at Double Standard is bang average. Luckily, you’re not here for fried cauliflower bites are you? No, you’re here for cocktails and that’s something this place does really, really well. On the ground floor of modern acid-dream hotel The Standard, London, this bar and terrace is all about classic cocktails and not-so-classic slushy Aperol spritzes. Hello hangover. It’s a bright and colourful '70s-inspired space that’s just as perfect for after-work drinks with the team as for a first date. If you’re looking for something a bit more special, it’s also worth noting that there’s a cocktail lounge on the hotel’s roof terrace, with spectacular views across London and spicy margaritas." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

12 Exciting Things To Eat, Do, & Buy This December

"Surely there is no sexier word in the English language than yurt. Except perhaps perineum. Yes, we really do know how to get a festive party started, thank you for asking. This year, instead of dragging yourself to Hyde Park, head to oh-so trendy King’s Cross hotel, The Standard for wholesome festive fun. They’ve transformed the Double Standard terrace into a cabin-inspired yurt and are serving classic winter warmers alongside a limited-edition snowball slushy. Plus, over on their other terrace at Isla you’ll be able to order s’mores for the table and roast them over your own cosy fire pit. Winter Wonderland could never." - heidi lauth beasley

Happened upon this place when looking for somewhere for dinner after a day out in the capital. The waitress was lovely, very friendly and showed me to a gorgeous little table in the courtyard, surrounded by greenery. Considering it was literally 2 minutes walk from King's Cross and just off one of rhe busiest roads in London, it was a proper little oasis. The menu wasn't huge but the short rib mac and cheese sounded, and tasted, delicious. A great choice, topped off by chocolate bar and ice cream and a coffee. I would thoroughly recommend the Double Standard to locals and visitors alike.

This is a review of the Gasoline Grill pop-up It was ace; genuinely great burgers, both cheeseburger and chicken sandwich were super. Fries were fries. Space is lovely. It’s a nice calm spot, considering the mayhem of Kings Cross just outside, and will pop back in for a drink if ever in the area. Service was on point for my visit. Hopefully they continue to do some more cool pop-ups in the future

Classic, low-lit bar not far from Cartwright Gardens, open later than most other neighborhood spots nearby. Our Romanian bartender was wonderful and the drinks were great. Highly recommend the “Double Army Standard Navy”. (We did not order food.) 👌🍸🍋

Really rude staff. Told us we could only go round get corner if we speak with the host. We asked someone working here and they said we could sit down as long as the booking doesn’t turn up. We sat down and she said we have a booking coming at 5, it was gone 5 at this point so we said we will move as soon as they arrive. 5.45 comes and they still never turn up. Then they kick us off the seats and say they need it for two of their staff need to sit down. Keep in mind there are loads of seats free but they are adamant that we can only stand at the tables. The woman had hello kitty stickers all over her face. Not sure that’s how I’d turn up to work but each to their own I guess. Shame it’s such a lovely venue and its let down by rude staff and staff watered down drinks. As a group of 6 willing to spend good money, they have lost out.

Randomly came across this bar on our Saturday walk… and really enjoyed some cocktails!!! Super impressed by the quality, when simplicity meats taste. Dragos was very knowledgeable, giving us lots of recommendations, so we loved the cocktails :) many thanks

Steer clear! Upon arrival we were completely ignored. When we did eventually get seated we had to wait an age to order drinks and food. We ordered a chicken waffle , short rib mac and cheese and beef fat fries and some cookie dough. The short rib mac and cheese was watery and lacked any kind of flavour. The short rib tasted like nothing and we couldn’t taste the cheese at all. I’ve had pret mac and cheese that has tasted better than this which is disappointing especially when priced at £21.50. Our chicken was undercooked in the middle for the chicken and waffles too. We showed our server who tried to tell us it was just from the brine but it was cool to the touch, bright pink and a completely different texture to the bits on the outside. The fries were decent but that’s about it, our cookie dough also never came. We ordered some mimosas which were nice but when priced at 16.50 each I’d expect no less !! We got some coffee to finish which was bitter and tasted burnt. Overall bad food and drink and absurdly priced. Service also rubbish.

Staff are lovely. But the food is hit and miss. Chicken burger is great but the waffle very dry. Had to send it back twice. Love the decor but I don't think the food is good enough to come back.

Excellent burger, with crisp crust, high fat ratio making it juicy, dry aged flavour, a light dash of relish contrasting the chewy, flavourful bacon and salty, salty cheese. Slightly pointless green leaf and slightly overdone texture in the patty are mild criticisms. Superb fries (crisp, starchy, well seasoned), unreal chicken bites (juicy, spicy, crisp) and decent Mac and cheese make a good compliment to the burger, and the cocktails - half price on Monday and Tuesday nice, plus the stylish interior, great atmosphere - make this an excellent experience. That said... The service was achingly slow on the food - but it was very busy on a Tuesday which I think is a good sign.
