Larry’s - Review - London - The Infatuation

"Larry’s Bar—a new underground cocktail bar in the National Portrait Gallery—has a backstory straight out of an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?. It’s named after Sir Laurence Olivier and it used to be a Victorian coal storage space. There’s a secret entrance hidden on Charing Cross Road and the menu has snacks like Exmoor caviar and lobster rolls. Expect plush, velvet booths and portraits from the gallery’s own collection on the walls. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Best Christmas Sandwiches 2020 | London Restaurant Christmas Sandwiches | Eater London

"Available until the 31st of December, the Christmas sandwich from Peckham’s American diner-inspired spot Larry’s is large and in charge. Crisp and craggly Turkey breast schnitzel comes sandwiched in light and airy focaccia alongside an acid mixture of sprout top Kimchi, fermented cranberry umeboshi ketchup, mustard mayo, and melted cheese that gives the whole thing a lively brio. Like umami? You’re gonna love this." - Lucas Oakeley

We were served by Lara who was a delight, warm/friendly and good humoured. My friends had the Bondi breakfast which they enjoyed. I’m afraid the minuscule but beautifully portioned salmon was somewhat of a letdown. Both my cocktails were great. Will come back.x

A little hard to find with a downstairs entrance on the side of the National Portrait Gallery. Inside feels a bit art deco. I like how there is homage to the venue. The seating is a bit odd, facing other diners but maybe less awkward when it's bar vibes. At least we got to watch people enjoying their afternoon tea. The brunch we had was surprisingly tasty - especially the banana bread.

I had the pleasure of being a guest at Larry’s on my birthday and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived I felt geniously welcomed which speaks volumes about the team’s warmth and professionalism. David in particular stood out with his engaging personality and attentiveness. He ensured that I felt comfortable and valued. His confidence, excellent communication skills and natural ability to connect with people created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. Beyond that the roof was absolutely delicious and beautifully served. The service was smooth and efficient reflecting the teams and David’s dedication to excellence. Overall, my experience with Larrys team and David was fantastic. David played a key role in making itcspecial. His professionalism, hospitality, and warm personality, combined with the outstanding food and service made my birthday an unforgettable one.

Love this place. Cream hidden gem tucked in the basement of the National Portrait Gallery. We had 2 rounds of cocktails. Has a plate of scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Just the right amount. The ‘ Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ afternoon tea looks amazing 🤩! Can’t wait to come back for evening jazz. I noted Kitty Is singing there. My aunt have followed her from Hong Kong Rosewood hotel to London.

We had a wonderful experience at Larry’s London recently and can’t recommend it enough! We ordered the Aviation and Negroni cocktails, which were expertly crafted made and delicious. We also ordered wine and a cheese board, and everything was presented beautifully. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Alexandra and Vito went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. They were both incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. It was clear they genuinely cared about making our visit special, and they did just that. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Probably my new favourite cocktail bar in London, such a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy delicious drinks through the portraits! We also ordered a great cheese board, but the cocktails were the highlight! Although a bit pricey, they were definitely worth it, can’t wait to return!

We had an absolutely fantastic time for our anniversary, we were well looked after by Jacob and all the team. They were very knowledgable about all the cocktails, art, etc. This is a real hidden gem of a venue with really good cocktails, live jazz, and fair pricing.
