Pitcher & Piano (London) > Reviews

Advantages: tasty food, central location, good mocktails
Disadvantages: ricy, imagine it could get busy at peaktimes, unreadable bar pumps

...my first experience of a Pitcher and Piano was a couple of weekends ago as the Trafalgar Square branch was the location for the wonderful Ciao Meet organised by Lizkempo. The location of this bar is perfect. It is on King William IV street literally a minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. It can be easily reached from Embankment, Charing Cross, Leicester square and Covent Garden Tube stations. I can see this being a very popular place as it would ... Read review

Advantages: Central and quite handy if you live/work nearby
Disadvantages: Too noisy and you may feel out-of-place if you're not in a suit

The P&P that I'm reviewing is the one that's on Bishopsgate, near to Liverpool Street Stationm, along from the KFC and Tesco's. Although Rio Ferdinand, the ex-West Ham defender, has been known to frequent this particular P&P, it's hard to see why really. This is not really a place you want to hang around, with the clientelle being almost entirely suited bods that are waiting for a train home, or 'hanger-ons' that are trying to pull a secretary.

Advantages: Central
Disadvantages: No character, packed out with mediocre scum

I have been here too many times simply because it is central and everyone knows where it is, but what a cruddy souless place! Friday and Saturday nights it's packed out with the most mediocre up their asses bunch of suited twats you can find in London. Typical conversation, if you could hear anyone over the din, would be braying over salaries and the very latest in mobile phones. Decor is dull dull wood. There is waitress service, which is great, ... Read review

Advantages: Great atmosphere, spacious, well decorated.
Disadvantages:

The Pitcher and Piano bar in Dean Street, is one of the best bars in London's West-end. It's very spacious and elaborately furnished with attractive tables and seating and hard wooden floor. It's decorated in trendy shades of terracotta. On a Friday this place starts to get busy from about 16:30. Many people who work in the City come here straight from work. There's a great selection of beers, and also my favourite "Star" lager - imported from the ... Read review

Advantages: Various
Disadvantages: Odd looking bouncers

What can I say. The music was jamming, the atmosphere was superb, and the ladies were plentiful. This is what I recollect of the p&p on Upper Street, N1. After showing my fraudulent I.D. card, I entered with my two mates. Of course, we were clearly the youngest people there. Anyway, due to severe lack of money, I just dumped myself down on one of the sofas infront of a table. Behind us was a smal ledge, onto which my friends decided to hop up and ... Read review
