    The lobby bar is beautiful. It is not overly loud. The drinks were delicious, on the pricey side. We were asked 6 times by two different people if we wanted a second drink. I had to tell them I would call them. It was funny at first, then annoying. Staff are clearly being told to push drinks. We did have two, at a pace we had to firmly establish. This needs fixing by management.

    Went to the lobby bar for post theatre cocktails and snacks. Lovely server with a brilliant sense of humour. Cocktails amazing as usual and the mini burgers were delicious.

    Love this bar. Service was a little slow but it was quite busy and we weren’t in a hurry. Fab snacks, lovely wine and great touches

    One of the best bars in London for pre-theatre or pre-dinner drinks. Always great service and beautiful flowers/decoration.

    Amazing venue, atmosphere and delicious cocktails topped off and made exceptional by Julia who could not have looked after us better! She is a credit to One Aldwych - we will be back and would love her to help us again! She made our evening very special. Thank you Julia.
