Soho Zebrano

Went during happy hour. I'm a woman travelling on my own and I found the female bouncer and bar staff to be incredibly helpful and efficient. Great range of cocktails, good food and it was the perfect bar to pop into between theatre performances.

Went for some cocktails on a Friday until 8pm is happy hour - good quality cocktails and the service is great!! They offered us a rooftop area and it was lovely! Great atmosphere and the bartenders and waitresses / waiters checked in on us to make sure we were all ok!!

I went to this place nightclub two nights during my visit to London and had a great time. The place has a nice vibe and good music. The security team took good care of everyone and made sure it was safe, especially late at night. Prices were good and not too high. I really enjoyed both nights there!

Visit Zebrano on a Sunday night service was amazing three different bartenders served me through out the night making some lovely cocktails (can’t remember theirs names).However at some point a guy came started shouting at the staff and acting very weird towards everyone. This kinda ruined our night because it made the atmosphere really weird. The music was nice and other than that everything was fine.Im not sure if thats how they treat their staff but it’s unacceptable, it was hard to tell if it was meant to be “ motivational “ or just plain shouting but either way it wasn’t a good look.My wife also visited Zebrano with her friends (had a booking) and according to her description it matched with the guy that “greeted” her at the door.

We had a karaoke night and were looked after by a staff member called Alex she and the very ie were perfect- supper accommodating and friendly. It was a birthday and despite the short notice they pull out all the stops to make it special. Would recommend strongly!

I went there for a hen on Saturday night after leaving another. Had the downstairs all to ourselves, I was in heaven, wasn’t too crowded and the music was great. But the bar tender Joel was an absolute star, he was entertaining and had some really cool dance moves but also kept it super professional. Thank you for a great night Joel! P.S try meditation !

One of the best bars in London, you cannot miss it! We went for a few drinks and ended up staying the whole night because it was so much fun! Such a great atmosphere, music and vibes. The highlight was the staff, Oli is the best! She's so lovely, so much fun, and always checking to make sure we were having a great time. 100% recommend and will be returning very soon!

Great hidden gem in the heart of Soho. You can have a good relaxed atmosphere with friends or party till late night. Great nice staff as well, you'll be well looked after, thanks to Amine and Oli and Jonhy, great team!

My cousin was told because he is Black and alone he cannot enter this bar, because" I DONT HAVE A white person to watch me" this is not OK, there was 3 white women who that entered without "a person" anyone that's knows him knows that he is not a "trouble maker". He was dismissed by the security guard and his "manager" Eddie. He witnessed this security guard reject a group of 6 black men for the same reason‼ (I am sober and coherent) Can we all leave revenues on their social medias and yelp to let them know it's not ok , he works hard for people and equality, to experience this is not ok, and shouldn't be ok for anyone no a way to start his birthday trip.

Was having a great time until the workers were blatantly racist and kicked out a girl in my group because she was Indian. We were simply coming out of the bathroom, she had one drink and was not making any sort of scene whatsoever, and they just decided to kick her out. It was extremely upsetting and really gave me a bad taste of London and I this place should be ashamed of themselves.

I played here as an open mic performer and I thought this club had a great social atmosphere.

My brother and I were visiting London from the U.S., and when we needed a place to go to after doing some pub crawls, this place stayed open. There was a good vibe here, and the service was good. We got in with no hassle, and one of the nights, we even got some drink coupons on the way in. Both times we went, we brought some girls... But I think it was in the gay area of London, so I guess that's a good thing... Overall, good times.

Billed as a "Smart, Friendly Cocktail Bar, Club and Restaurant" and I have to agree! As soon as you walk through the door, there is a friendly welcome. The staff are all really helpful and friendly. Nice club atmosphere. The best thing is the happy hour is long, starts at 5pm to midnight on Mondays and Tuesdays, to 10pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and to 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Good DJ music and the night we were there Omar, soul singer, songwriter had his gig there and got everyone on the floor. Spacious, fun place. Will definitely go back.

Our last night in London and we were looking to relax with some drinks. As with most places that are open late in Soho, the music was LOUD but for some reason more tolerable in here then the other joints we tried. They know how to mix their drinks, the Old fashioned is awesome, they really take care in making it. Nice staff who are friendly and on the ball! I forget the name of the girl in the front bar now but she was on fire with the drinks. They came fast and made perfectly. I'll update when I remember her name :) A fun place, with a mix good music mix.

Delicious food and super friendly staff! Great atmosphere as well, cozy and exciting at the same time. Loved the lamb skewers and wings. Happy hour with great deals!

But when the time is right, Zebrano is your place.

After dining at Pho, we found ourselves back on Greek St. in Soho looking for more drink bargains when we were lured into Zebrano by the sidewalk sign advertising half-price margaritas. This was more of a touristy spot than Jazz After Dark a few doors down. Turns out all drinks were half off that evening. The music was loud and the DJ had a terrible turntable scratch technique. UGH. A rowdy crowd prevailed including a loud tatted-up young lady with the best MLE (multicultural London English) accent I've heard. Mutual admiration between us Americans and her. Our Romanian waiter was friendly and earnest and implored us to visit his country on our next vacation. Not a place I'd necessarily return, Zebrano is a rough around the edges place to get a buzz on at these reasonable half off prices

I went to Zebrano last night with friends. We were just walking by when the guy on the door enticed us in with half price drinks until 9pm. We couldn't refuse and the bar maid was nice enough to grab some extra bar stools so that most of us could sit. From the outside it looks like a tiny place but once inside it opened up to a 3 level bar and nightclub. The inside is decorated nicely and although it was largely empty the atmosphere was still good. During the happy our they had Becks & San Miguel for £1.75, a 50% discount and a selection of cocktails and wines at half the usual price too. Unusually they had a life drawing class going on in the rear section of the bar, presumably a tactic to get more people in the door!

From the outside Zebrano small and sultry, but once inside you realise that it's actually a sprawling multi-room nightclub. The reason I'm giving Zebrano four stars is because manages something that few other bars do: it feels busy but there are still spots where you can stand and talk without being squished or splashed with a drunk girl's vodka cranberry. The bar in the main room is manned by bartenders who actually care about serving people quickly and efficiently - they have a bit of New York hustle. Through the back is a dance floor with a decent DJ, and up a few steps a lounge that can be reserved for groups (I counted three birthday parties). There is yet another lounge upstairs on the mezzanine with its own bar. With so many rooms the only pitfall is that you may lose your friends in the shuffle.

Good for large groups as they have a booking system and tables. If you are a serious boozer then turn up for the happy hour and load up. Cocktails were ok but nothing special. The now defunct LAB was much better for example. I can confirm that Saturday nights are crowded and popular. If you can gyrate on the dancefloor then you will be popular.

My girl latoya and I walked around the area for a long time, checking out the menus restaurants post on their front doors before settling on this one. Turns out it's also a bar/lounge too; maybe we'll come back to see how it is in that department. Bathroom has that vibe downstairs, with the attendant that has various goodies and shoves paper towels at you. I can get it myself thanks. The staff was a little snooty at first, maybe because of our outfits..we weren't dressed up in black everybody else in the place. But they warmed up to us when they realized we have good manners! I say my pleases and thankyous all the time; even with bad service cause you never knooow (the fate of my food from the kitchen to my table is in their hands! literally!) Besides that, I ordered the Zebrano burger..which was amazinggg! I loved it! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The chips that went with it were perfect; along with the spicy sweet sour sauce. All the flavors went well with eachother, it was the perfect end to my long day. Good food makes me happy.

The best nights for Zebranos is Thursday and Friday nights when the weekend has just begun. There is a large dance floor in the basement...and you can dance to your hearts content...Though it can get a little crowded. It takes a little while to get served at the bar but hey - it is a London Bar after all.... the music is pretty good and the atmosphere is okay. I would usually go with a group - usually work colleagues to let our hair down. You can book an area too which is nifty especially when you consider it will get busy.

Not a bad find if your up for a drink with an atmosphere! has a lot of little nooks and crannies, and a lot of seating including intimate seating, so yeah definately a place if you wanna schmooze! in my opinion i think the only thing that ruined the night for me the music that was playing... it's like he plays one good song and five really bad ones... maybe i got the day with the bad DJ... i gotta say the PR for the club was quite a convincing little bugger, the way he was talking you'd expect something out of a P-Diddy video... Or even one of the Carlsberg adverts!! Whatta crock of shit not a place to go dancing but okay for a drink and chat!

I've walked past this place many times but it was only on a friends recent birthday that i actually ventured into the venue. I was quite surprised at how big the bar is, stretching back beyond the main bar with seating upstairs. The venue is a beautiful red colour and has funky anime pictures on the wall which match the young crowd, arty, fun crowd that was present. We deposited ourselves on some comfy chairs and took advantage of some good cocktails and bar snacks. The music and atmosphere was great, the prices were the normal 'slightly expensive but we're in Soho so' kind of price and there was table service which was a blessing. I really enjoyed our night here, not sure I'd race back as it was a very straight venue, but it's definitely one to bare in mind for when straight friends come to visit.

initially this is a big empty space, plenty of seats, good happy hour but no atmosphere, but wait........it picks up, this place is great for a late night hang-out and on a school night If you want to flick your heels of and dance around to some good music with some complete unpretentious strangers, drink some good cocktails (warning they get a bit expensive post the happy hour), eat some tapas (and munchy type) food...this is the place for you....and I didn't even get my feet trodden on

If you must go to Zebranos, then you should definitely pick this Zebrano over its sad and scary little sister off of Kingly Street. Zebranos Greek Street hosts a good time party vibe playing commercial music and drawing a fun twenty sumthin crowd. Good for a pre-night warm up or a dance all night long, and although drinks service is slow you could, if you wanted to, find a corner to chill out and chat whilst watching all the party goers shake their thangs. Plus ground floor and first floor areas means you get phone reception. Bonus. Enjoy. x

If you're looking to be underpoured and overcharged then this is your place! A large group of us reserved a table and all had issues with the bartenders at the ground floor back bar. We downloaded their app prior to arrival to get the specials advertised on their website. However, the bartenders continuously tried to overcharge us then call over management and make a big deal when we showed them the app to get the correct price. After refusing to pay the higher price and asking for the correct one, one staff member said to me, "no one ever complains about a difference of £2". I didn't tolerate his terrible attempt to mock me and no one should. If you're looking for minimally decent customer service, save yourself the hassle and head elsewhere.

After randomly wandering into the Soho area and looking at some of the wonderful little shops, we finally decide to find a place to eat. We look around and find Zebrano. We go in. We sit down. We order some drinks and have a good time. We also order some apps and that is our dinner. The nachos were good and the chicken wings were okay. The hummus was delicious [quite a small portion though--but don't take my word for it because I'm the "Americana"].

My first hour here was pretty much intolerable except for the incredible Old Fashioned created by the barstaff. They use Maker's Mark (WIN), take great care that the splash of bitters is just that (WIN), have some excellently crafted garnish (WIN), and THEY STIR IT FOR 5 WHOLE MINUTES! (DOUBLE WIN!). Needless to say, I'm very picky when it comes to my whiskey drinks as there are an incredible amount of things that can go wrong and any one element will wreck it. But when it's good...it's oh so good. The downside is that until you build up your buzz, Zebrano is too much. The music is redonkulously loud to the extent I couldn't hear myself although I was shouting (and I'm a loud guy) so it was impossible to hold a conversation. Once that first drink took ahold (and the following two), it was perfect. It's small, but you can dance like mad, sing your heart out, and practice your non-verbal pick up lines. There is an upstairs area but unfortunately there was a private party so was unable to check it out. Free entry before 10, but be warned the place doesn't get going until 11. It's only a fiver to get in most of the time so that's not too bad if you want to get there later. Overall, I had a blast and that's what you want out of a place. It's not pretentious, you can relax and just have fun, and the drinks are spectacular.

This review is based on two visits. The first was a dinner visit on a Tuesday evening. I chose it based on the fact that they accepted Gourmet Society card and their menu wasn't like other pub food, a bit more fancy. It was not very busy, which was good because I was there to catch up with a friend we got some quiet time. Then they had live music, the girl who performed that night had a lovely voice and sang very well, my friend and I stayed a bit longer than we expected to just to listen to her for longer. The food was good, as expected. We both had a great night. My second visit was due to a friend from America visiting, and a whole group of people wanted to go to a drinking establishment after our dinner at Patara, and I chose Zebrano's as it was just next door and because I enjoyed my last visit here. I made a reservation expecting we would only be at dinner for no longer than 2 hours, well people were late for dinner, I hopped to Zebrano's to inform them I would be late and not to give away my booking. We ended up being an hour late to the booking, and they managed to hold my tables. Some random people took over my tables because I was late, when I brought it to the attention of the staff, they took care of it for me. Happy hour until 9pm. Drinks are half price. I like this place and would definitely come back.

Tacky music, tacky people.. My impression this place seemed to act as an upper market bar - you know shiny entrance with guest list and interior with lights on the wall and I think there were mirrors too. But since we all probably know acting as something is actually not the same as being something, they lost me immediately. Yes, I do admit, these kind of places are not my scene. To me, they are outdated, cheap without any originality or idea or virtue or any point.. The really loud music at 7pm on Friday evening, was not so great... Happy hour from 8-9 is great. The service was not on it and getting the barmaid to pour our cocktails in a wine glass, rather then plastic cups took about 5 mins to achieve, but we did it. Yes, I kept thinking - time wasting, and who's got the luxury those days, right? I personally don't..

Denied me and my gf before we even got to the door. Said my gf was too drunk when we had one glass of wine. Definitely hate Americans. Avoid at all costs.

For a night club, Zebrano is in the middle tier. The place is quite sizable for groups and you can have your own private party on their basement floor. I was crashing my friend's friend's private party but I was quite curious why they didn't open the bar downstairs if there's private party. Drinks are quite pricey (£9.50 for cocktails, £8.50 for long drinks) so I'd suggest go there during happy hour and you will get two glasses of those with the price of one. Can't get any better with happy hour ;). Those who fancy cocktails, you should try the karamel cocktails, it's surprisingly good! And those who like sweet cocktails, try the lychee gunmen. I'd recommend this place for its cocktails but not so much for dancing. The DJ plays a wide range of music without good transition between one song to another so you can stop while guessing what he's gonna play next and that's not good. You want to dance all the way because the music it is too good to skip a beat! They play old schools including songs from earth, wind, and fire, Jackson five and so on. That's why the crowd is more adult than the rest I've been into.

Visited this bar recently for a friends birthday and was quite suprised at how good it was, having walked past it on many occasions. First thing you notice is the lovely interior, all deep red walls and moody lighting with some brilliant manga-esque/gorillaz type artwork adorning the walls. The bar itself is well stocked and not too expensive and we were also offered table service which is always nice. some members of the group ordered food which they said was great though I stuck to the cocktails which were definately good. Enjoyable bar, especially in large groups or for special occasions as I couldn't imagine going there with less that 4 people.

initially this is a big empty space, plenty of seats, good happy hour but no atmosphere, but wait..it picks up, this place is great for a late night hang-out and on a school night If you want to flick your heels of and dance around to some good music with some complete unprentious strangers, drink some good cocktails (warning they get a bit expensive post the happy out), eat some munchy type foodthis is the place for you.and I didn't even get my feet trodden on

No never again! Not that the experience was negative, but not my scene. Food was good, drinks more than reasonably priced for Soho, however not the croud I am used to. Zebrano's is the kind of place that people stumble accross and get in to spend a night of cheesy music and drunken embraces. Good for a careless night in central london, but nothing too special.

I had heard good things about this place and went in with a Drinki (free drink app) - told we had to pay entrance (not normally the case). Asked to see the manager, who despite being next to us, spoke through his door lady. Telling us this was only for females (the free drink), then said we could come in. We were about to take our seats, showed the waiter our phones, who said with that app we must drink at bar (the place was empty). The manager then decided he wanted to charge entrance, so we left.

I booked an area for my birthday last week and I am in disbelief at how one of friends in a wheelchair was treated. One bouncer stood in front of the wheelchair and obstructed his passage to the dance floor, without even a shred of compassion. I was told that the justification for this treatment was that he was a health hazard. If there were minus stars I would give them minus five for such treatment.

I don't like this place, having had to go here for 2 different birthdays on various occasions I thought the second time round it might have redeemed itself but I was wrong. It's not my type of music but I can deal with that if it is a pleasant place but no it wasn't my type of place either. Come here if you are in a group of guys and enjoy seeing ladies frolicking about doing 90's europop/dance moves or come here on a hen party if you enjoy a souless crowd and boring decor. On the plus side, the only one I could see was the cocktails were good! It must be doing something right though by looking at all the other reviews - R&B and dance music Saturdays and cocktails are about £6.00 each

Love this place - my favorite drink is the deep passion! It is a fun place to start the night and isn't too loud so that you can't hear the person next to you.

Original home of the 1960's satirical club 'The Establishment' - members only nightclub run by Peter Cook - comedian.. If you look up outside you'll see a green Westminster plaque.. much deserved I think!

Great atmosphere and awesome selection of drinks available for happy hour! definitely a place to let your hair down for some post-work drinks and a boogie. My colleagues and I had such a laugh! Love it there :)

Great for cheap cocktails during happy hour- but the atmosphere is lacking until it gets a bit later when people start dancing! Good for large groups of friends to meet as there is lots of space downstairs.

Love it!! The happy hour is amazing. Half price drinks. All five of us spent $23 in total on a margarita, Two non alcoholic cocktails, and a bottle of wine!!!! Love it here

Food was lovely.Drink specials were half off Wednesday. 3 levels.Dj played hiphop mixed music.Fun environment.

Rarely go to soho as I'm usually a north London girl, but I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Good drinks, not too pricey, and a fun atmosphere. Was full enough to have a good vibe, but not so packed that you couldn't move or have to shout to speak to anyone. I liked the layout, although downstairs was a bit small. The DJ was open to requests and we were able to boogey the night away.

I went here Thursday with a group of friends. First of all they did not find us seating, A waitress told us she will come and serve us in a few minutes we had to wait 30 minutes to be served! and three groups were served before us! then we complained, and while we ate, the trainee waitress asked for us to pay the bill while we eat!!! we then complained and a staff member offered free drinks on several occasions, but we declined. I would come to the summation that things run at the top are flawed with inexperienced staff and an extremely extremely rude manager. I feel that this place would appeal to drunken hipsters and hoodies, it has less class than a brothel, not relating to the decor and location, but relating to the rude staff, inadequate managerial style and behavior. It was horrible service. One of the worst bars I have ever experienced, with rubbery steak, salty drinks and 3 day old waitresses on training. I have already made small against the manager for his services, and hopefully they will be investigated. This place will always remain a very bad memory that turned my night around, Being an accountant maybe puts me in the 'boring' bracket on a night out. but in all my life I can honestly say I have never ever experienced anything as bad as this in my life.

The perfect find. Was walking around for ages looking for a good meal. Was very happy to find this - worth the walk!

Lovely atmosphere, great place to socialise, the cocktails are to die for and food is great! had plenty of good times here :)

Went to Zebrano for our Christmas do last Friday and had a great time. Food was delicious, indulged in some mulled wine and loved the christmas atmosphere!
