Katzenjammers

This is a beer cellar there are no drinkable ciders. There are dart boards, but they are not usable to play as they are not correctly affixed to the wall and the raised oches are far too short so you have to stand at a slant.

Came at 7.30 and got kicked out at 7.50 very poorly serviced and system was not run properly need more staff and looked very overcrowded

PLEASE READ!!! Went for some drinks with friends and had a drink collected from the table by staff that was only half finished! When I brought this up at the bar I was given a replacement but this is not where it ended. Got approached by bar staff and then escalated to the manager trying to force me to pay and threatening with police action. All in, a very awful and threatening experience. Ended up being forcefully led out with no jacket, personal belongings or anything and left on the street to supposedly talk to the police. Obviously, they never arrived. Never got my drivers license back which I had left behind the bar as a deposit for some darts. No one should ever visit an establishment like this!!!!!!!

Food was cold. No Bierkeller atmosphere. Piped music and the oompah band couldn't play and what they attempted wasn't oompah music

No promised oompah band, just piped music. No German beer keller atmosphere :( Edit: OK so the live music starts at 21:00... but still not traditional German oompah :(

I have to leave this really mainly out of lack of security for people's possessions. These guys have a policy (rightly so) of taking some ID in exchange for the darts. I do think, in the age we live in, that this is pretty extreme with all sorts of risks of ID fraud nowadays, a £5 deposit is simply enough.. I left the place and forgot to ask for my ID back (my mistake of course) however, by the time I went back to physically search the lost property (of about 30 driving licenses and some passports) it was not there. Now I completely accept I'm at fault for leaving it, point taken. What I don't agree with, is if you're going to be taking people's ID then it needs to be stored safely and securely, a box full of IDs is not good and now my identity may be out there in the ether online or whatever, merely because of a dumb policy. Maybe change this to 5/£10 deposit? Who knows you might start making money from buying/selling darts

A bit disappointed. Sausages were could inside and the chef apparently said that was ok

The Jägerschnitzel and chips was half cooked, very salty. Beer was good, but with £14.50 quite pricy for a litre. The upper restaurant was so noisy that I had a hard time even understanding my own words.

When my best friends are in town, this is where we go. And it's been ever thus for the last 15 years. Never change.

The food is pretty bad. Used to be tasty.

Great bar for a rowdy night. Often queues and it does have loud music

Great place to visit easy to book a table and then amend the booking as needed. Food and drinks were great.

Unbelievably obtuse and rude door staff. We had just come from a team party with boxed cupcakes as a take-away. We had no intention of eating in the venue, but the bouncer refused to let us in until we disposed of them. Tried calling ahead to let them know running 10 mins late for booked table, no answer so had to send one team member away early to hold the table - wouldn't let them in. Live band didn't get started until an hour and a half after the original time indicated (a good way to encourage more wet sales). Avoid.

Honestly not it ! The food was horrible! I had the mac and cheese that was just plain pasta with some melted cheese on top. The lamb shank was under seasoned. The only redeeming factor was the chocolate and coconut tart that was quite lovely! The place can get so crowded as well.

Not great - food was cold and only half of it arrived, beer tasted stale, very noisy, serving staff didn't seem particularly attentive. It's not particularly expensive for the location but there's far better places to eat around Borough market.

We came with a booking for a birthday. Some members of staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful with our request for a cake we brought. Excellent service, we couldn't be more grateful!!! Thank you so much!!!

It’s a cozy place to have a bite and drink around London Bridge area, with good service!!!

06.12.2024

Good beers, can get a little noisy at times

08.12.2022

Great atmosphere. Great drinking joint. The rest you just put up with.. 29/11/24: Back there again! Service very very slow. At times not enough staff to serve which is further slowed down if someone is ordering food as they only get to see the menu once they reach the front.

Very insulting, pathetic and disgusting behaviour by one of the male staff member (wearing a grey shirt different from the other bar staff, probably the bar manager) at the bar counter. I along with my husband and group of friends were standing to the extreme corner of the bar wherein my husband sneezed COVERING his mouth facing the side wall. Out of nowhere like a Tsunami a man approaches my husband stating "Oh! My God, My God, you sneezed on the glasses",in a very loud and rude manner, my husband was stunned as he dint even enter the bar area or sneeze in the direction openly towards the glasses. Furthermore, the same man then started giving my husband blue kitchen towels with which he was wiping the counter and kept on humiliating my husband with pathetic words. When my husband took up for himself stating facts that 'he dint sneeze' towards the glasses, he covered his face' the man became all the more arrogant and very rude using pathetic words, also stating loudly several times "YOU DID SNEEZE ON THE GLASSES". I stepped in, as I was the witness and I know the importance my husband gives to hygiene. We told him to check the cameras as according to him he was so certain that my husband sneezed without covering his mouth', to this he dint have anything to say. To make matters worse and insulting us further, he takes a pink chemical liquid bottle and sprays it our direction and on the counter and then continues wiping the counter, walks away and without washing his hands starts serving customers beer from the taps without cleaning his hands off that chemical he was previously handling. I wonder, 'What hygiene level he was trying to prove?" Pondering over the incident the only conclusion we would make from this is that he was being racist towards us because we are Asians and he was trying to humiliate us by making a scene at the bar counter. This was by far the most disgusting incident we have ever experienced in our time living in London.

Brass band great, drinks nice, security very surly (shout oi as you walk down the stairs and just nod when they find your booking). Manager very aggressive/confrontational when asking to move to another part of the bar, such that security touched his arm and implied he should calm down. I see manager also mentioned in other reviews for similar (or worse). No security showing SIA badges, dressed in hoodies and puffer jackets. Bar service got drinks wrong repeatedly and had to ask for confirmation 3+ times. Not a ruined night but no rush to return.
