One of those evenings you will remember for a while. Was completely blown away by the decor. As soon you turn into this backstreet you think what am i letting myself into and then you enter this most amazing space. It feels a little New York, a little far eastern fantasy and a little french boudoir. So really its a little confusing but it really comes together rather amazingly and its really cosy. Its packed with beautiful people and the staff are not offish like some of these 'trendy' places. It is joy and the drinks are an education of tastes. Was really impressed by the concoctions. Will be our treat from now on.
A group of us went for New Years eve and had the best time ever. I think they got it just right. Not too much hype and over promising. They got all the basics right and we danced the night away. I have been a regular for years and have seen the staff come and go but the place still has its magic. I hope it stays this way for a long time to come.
Incredibly sexy place to meet friends for a drink and a yummy grazing menu. We kept trying their endless cocktail list and topping up the food order as everything complimented each other so well. Ok admittedly we had some help from the very knowledgeable staff about what to order. The decor plus the cocktails makes a very heady experience. We also ended up making friends with the table next to us. Loungelover is certainly not for the shy and stuck up as this place encourages you to be less inhibited and feels like you are on holiday in some exotic faraway place. A true escapist experience. Can't wait to book the next flight out.
I would advise steering clear of Loungelover. The staff are rude and seem uninterested in doing their jobs. The drinks and food are no better than average. There are far better bars in London and Shoreditch than this.
My name is Rhys Thomas. I am a writer and a comedian and I just have to tell you about the hypocrites who run this place. It gets good, trust me....Don't book Lounge Lover I beg you - my wife organised a surprise party for my 30th Birthday - they asked for a £1500 plus VAT deposit plus a minimum spend of a whopping £9,000 , half to be paid up front.She kept ringing us asking 'How many people are coming' when we said we didn't know for sure, she snapped 'Well you should by now!' Come on, any moron knows that you can't say exactly how many people are coming.
When we decided that it was too much money and we couldn't guarantee we'd spend that, we asked if we could cancel it two weeks prior to the event. They said we could, but we wouldn't get our deposit back. Even though we gave them two weeks notice, AND they could still open and get that money from the public, the snooty lady refused, reminding us of the small print in the contract, after 4 weeks, no refund. Damn it. So that was that. No leg to stand on. they couldn't even offer half or some -effectively, they made £1500 for nothing.
Friends really raved about this place and finally made it here. Loungelover did not fail to impress. Got lost trying to find it but the locals seem to know where it is. My friends were spot on about this place. Its so different from anywhere else and has some of the best cocktails i've ever tasted. The combinations are so clever with really equally witty names. The staff are really friendly and charming. Would go back any day.
We went on Saturday and had the best evening ever. It was such a fabulous atmosphere aided by very good background music. The level of the music enabled us to speak without having to shout and losing our voices like in some bars. Even though it was really busy you never ever felt that your were being squashed or pushed to one side. The staff are charming and very helpful. Our party increased at the very last minute and they were very nice about it. They managed to switched things around to fit us in. It is so nice to be in a beautiful venue surrounded by beautiful people and served by such lovely staff. A truly memorable evening and i would like to express my thanks to everyone for making it such a splendid evening..
Simply amazing decor and probably the best cocktails i have ever tasted. Loungelover oozes decadence and style. You can't help but feel great to be in there. I love the setting, down a grimy backstreet and the surprise when you enter pass the glass doors. There is so much drama and imagination here. I can see how this place can intimidate some people. It really helps that the staff are really nice and helpful. It makes such a change to have somewhere so charming ,warm and from the heart, to go to.
