We went to Dover Street Bar (8-10 Dover Street, London, W1S 4LQ) on Friday 17 Feb 2012. Our plan was some drinks and live music. According to their leaflets the entrance was free before 10pm. Well, it turned out it wasn’t. The bouncer insisted that the bar does not open until 10.15 (yeah, right) and that’s when they start charging... More

5 of us had a great night with super food and great atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly. It got noisy with two very large tables beside us. The food was good value and well presented. The drinks though were expensive especially if you drink beer. A great night out and we will visit again. More

Myself and my work collegues visited here for our Xmas party. We paid £50 per person for a 3 course meal and live band. The venue was extremely crowded and it was obvious that they had "squashed" as many people in as they could. The food was nothing special and it was mass catering at it's best! The band were... More

My husband and I visited here with friends last Saturday for a meal and a night of jazz. Having paid a deposit of £60 to secure the table, we had expected so much more We were tucked away in a corner where we couldn't see the live band, so we wondered whether we would be able to hear the jazz...

Very nice restaurant, with a good atmosphere! We went in a group and were served quickly and efficiently by happy, friendly staff. Food was good and plentiful (I couldn't finish the main course, and I have a health appetite!) I had a huge piece if lamb which was cooked to perfection. Jazz and dancing completed a great Nig. Only possible... More

We had a great night out with friends in this friendly and spacious jazz club/ wine club. We had free entry at 9.30pm The music was fantastic and not the snobby pretentious jazz band I feared it might be. Good well known tunes from all decades were performed by enthusiastic entertaining singers and musicians. A great night was had by... More

This is by far my favourite hang out whenever I visit London. Great live music followed by great dj's. Well served bars, drinks reasonable priced and food is fab. The staff are friendly. Ideal for a night out with friends, clients or colleagues. They have never disappointed me. I would highly recommend Dover Street jazz bar to anyone More
