Searcys Champagne Bar

I came here with a coworker on a weekday evening, as a break from the usual pubs that the people from my company tend to frequent. It was quiet and low key, with no more than 10 guests in the whole place, and seemingly just 2 or 3 members of staff. We sat at the bar and ordered from their cocktail and food menus. For food, they have a selection of cured meats, cheeses, seafood (oysters, caviar, prawns, smoked salmon, etc), sandwiches, and salads. We wanted to get 2 cheeses and 2 cured meats, but there was misunderstanding and we ended up with just 1 of the cheeses and 2 cured meats. That was served with a decent selection of bread, including a type of crispbread that was quite nice. As for drinks, I got the Kotao and Number One cocktails, both of which were delicious. My coworker got a Number One as well, but in hers the champagne was flat, but the staff happily made her a new one. This place has a lot of potential, but it’s sad that it hasn’t become that popular. I think the quality of service could be improved, as they have just 2 or 3 overworked staff trying to attend to everyone, but given that it was not that busy, it’s understandable as well.

Lovely vibe after a long day in the office… Even better when it is a sunny day. Love the view, yes not the highest but definitely one of the most refined… Their bubbly is always cold and go down lovely…

We came in on a Saturday with a couple of hours to kill before a movie at Leicester Square and though it was very empty, it was a nice change from the normal crazy places. We had a few champagne cocktails (strawberry and passionfruit bellinis) plus some apps which were decent. I had this one awesome cheddar cheese and the chorizo. Service was great. will come back for another couple cocktails :)

Service was polite but quite pushy, which is not surprising for the bougie (North American slang for bourgeois, maybe even a bit snobby) nature of the place. I came in with three others at around 9pm, and the place was pretty empty, even despite its small size. There was a pair sitting at the bar, as well as another group seated at a table. The bartender told us the place would close at 11pm, but there was another guy (probably a manager) buzzing around who seemed extremely antsy to get people out. He closed the door around 10pm, whisked around trying to rush the clean-​up process, and kept whispering things to the bartender. He killed the atmosphere of the place. Trying to get people to leave in order to save money is only going to get you poor recommendations and results in the long-​run.

We went to searcyes One new change in december for a xmas work lunch. The food and atmosphere were both excellent and the service was really good even though it was a busy lunchtime. We all appreciated the attention to details and the small Moet gift received with our lunches. I’m sure we will again be returning for our next work lunch.
