Zebrano

I had heard good things about this place and went in with a Drinki (free drink app) — told we had to pay entrance (not normally the case). Asked to see the manager, who despite being next to us, spoke through his door lady. Telling us this was only for females (the free drink), then said we could come in. We were about to take our seats, showed the waiter our phones, who said with that app we must drink at bar (the place was empty). The manager then decided he wanted to charge entrance, so we left.

After dining at Phở, we found ourselves back on Greek St. in Soho looking for more drink bargains when we were lured into Zebrano by the sidewalk sign advertising half-​price margaritas. This was more of a touristy spot than Jazz After Dark a few doors down. Turns out all drinks were half off that evening. The music was loud and the DJ had a terrible turntable scratch technique. UGH. A rowdy crowd prevailed including a loud tatted-​up young lady with the best MLE (multicultural London English) accent I’ve heard. Mutual admiration between us Americans and her. Our Romanian waiter was friendly and earnest and implored us to visit his country on our next vacation. Not a place I’d necessarily return, Zebrano is a rough around the edges place to get a buzz on at these reasonable half off prices

Love it! The happy hour is amazing. Half price drinks. All five of us spent $ 23 in total on a margarita, Two non alcoholic cocktails, and a bottle of wine!!! Love it here

Bar dansant très sympa et assez classe ! Mais ça va nous sommes rentrés avec des baskets ! Nous avons rencontré un «rabatteur» dans la rue qui nous y a emmené. Je né sais pas si l’entrée est payante initialement mais nous n’avons rien payé. Les cocktails sont à un prix normal (8−9£) mais c’est le tarif !! Mais ils sont excellents ! Côté shots: les 6 pour 20£, ce n’est pas excessif !! Je vous conseille les Luv drugs s’ils sont toujours à la carte: un délice ! La musique y est forte mais plutôt bien dosée (contrairement à d’autres bars). L’établissement ferme à 3h, ce qui est difficile à trouver dans le centre de Londres (sauf boîte de nuit)!!

Billed as a «Smart, Friendly Cocktail Bar, Club and Restaurant» and I have to agree! As soon as you walk through the door, there is a friendly welcome. The staff are all really helpful and friendly. Nice club atmosphere. The best thing is the happy hour is long, starts at 5pm to midnight on Mondays and Tuesdays, to 10pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and to 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Good DJ music and the night we were there Omar, soul singer, songwriter had his gig there and got everyone on the floor.
Spacious, fun place. Will definitely go back.

Love this place — my favorite drink is the deep passion! It is a fun place to start the night and isn’t too loud so that you can’t hear the person next to you.

Decent bar with an awesome happy hour deal! 50% off! Me and my friend got porn star Martini’s and they were pretty good! And for only £4.25 each… what a bargain!!!

For a night club, Zebrano is in the middle tier. The place is quite sizable for groups and you can have your own private party on their basement floor. I was crashing my friend’s friend’s private party but I was quite curious why they didn’t open the bar downstairs if there’s private party. Drinks are quite pricey (£9.50 for cocktails, £8.50 for long drinks) so I’d suggest go there during happy hour and you will get two glasses of those with the price of one. Can’t get any better with happy hour ;). Those who fancy cocktails, you should try the karamel cocktails, it’s surprisingly good! And those who like sweet cocktails, try the lychee gunmen.
I’d recommend this place for its cocktails but not so much for dancing. The DJ plays a wide range of music without good transition between one song to another so you can stop while guessing what he’s gonna play next and that’s not good. You want to dance all the way because the music it is too good to skip a beat! They play old schools including songs from earth, wind, and fire, Jackson five and so on. That’s why the crowd is more adult than the rest I’ve been into.

Great cosy venue with lots of seating and happy every night.
Went here with some friends before dinner for a few drinks. After doing a quick search online this place came up as having a happy hour even on a sat eve, which is great for central London.
They have a great drinks menu and there is quite a good choice when it comes to half price drinks (this was 5−9pm on a sat). We were advised on arrival it is best to book, however we still managed to grab a table for our group of 5. There are candles, comfy chairs an the area goes back quite a bit. There is music but it’s more ambient so you can easily have a conversation and there is other lighting within the the venue so you can still see easily.
They have table service (they will charge you an extra 12% for service charge), there is also food available, but nothing really light that I could have eaten before going for a meal.
The only thing that let this place down was the toilets. After sitting the beautiful and decadent bar the ladies weren’t as nice, looked like need a lick of paint and there was no soap.

Tacky music, tacky people.
My impression this place seemed to act as an upper market bar — you know shiny entrance with guest list and interior with lights on the wall and I think there were mirrors too. But since we all probably know acting as something is actually not the same as being something, they lost me immediately. Yes, I do admit, these kind of places are not my scene. To me, they are outdated, cheap without any originality or idea or virtue or any point.
The really loud music at 7pm on Friday evening, was not so great… Happy hour from 8 – 9 is great. The service was not on it and getting the barmaid to pour our cocktails in a wine glass, rather then plastic cups took about 5 mins to achieve, but we did it.
Yes, I kept thinking — time wasting, and who’s got the luxury those days, right? I personally don’t.

This review is based on two visits.
The first was a dinner visit on a Tuesday evening. I chose it based on the fact that they accepted Gourmet Society card and their menu wasn’t like other pub food, a bit more fancy. It was not very busy, which was good because I was there to catch up with a friend we got some quiet time. Then they had live music, the girl who performed that night had a lovely voice and sang very well, my friend and I stayed a bit longer than we expected to just to listen to her for longer. The food was good, as expected. We both had a great night.
My second visit was due to a friend from America visiting, and a whole group of people wanted to go to a drinking establishment after our dinner at Patara, and I chose Zebrano’s as it was just next door and because I enjoyed my last visit here. I made a reservation expecting we would only be at dinner for no longer than 2 hours, well people were late for dinner, I hopped to Zebrano’s to inform them I would be late and not to give away my booking. We ended up being an hour late to the booking, and they managed to hold my tables. Some random people took over my tables because I was late, when I brought it to the attention of the staff, they took care of it for me.
Happy hour until 9pm. Drinks are half price.
I like this place and would definitely come back.

My first hour here was pretty much intolerable except for the incredible Old Fashioned created by the barstaff. They use Maker’s Mark (WIN), take great care that the splash of bitters is just that (WIN), have some excellently crafted garnish (WIN), and THEY STIR IT FOR 5 WHOLE MINUTES! (DOUBLE WIN!). Needless to say, I’m very picky when it comes to my whiskey drinks as there are an incredible amount of things that can go wrong and any one element will wreck it. But when it’s good… it’s oh so good.
The downside is that until you build up your buzz, Zebrano is too much. The music is redonkulously loud to the extent I couldn’t hear myself although I was shouting (and I’m a loud guy) so it was impossible to hold a conversation. Once that first drink took ahold (and the following two), it was perfect. It’s small, but you can dance like mad, sing your heart out, and practice your non-​verbal pick up lines.
There is an upstairs area but unfortunately there was a private party so was unable to check it out.
Free entry before 10, but be warned the place doesn’t get going until 11. It’s only a fiver to get in most of the time so that’s not too bad if you want to get there later.
Overall, I had a blast and that’s what you want out of a place. It’s not pretentious, you can relax and just have fun, and the drinks are spectacular.

After randomly wandering into the Soho area and looking at some of the wonderful little shops, we finally decide to find a place to eat. We look around and find Zebrano. We go in. We sit down. We order some drinks and have a good time. We also order some apps and that is our dinner. The nachos were good and the chicken wings were okay. The hummus was delicious [quite a small portion though – but don’t take my word for it because I’m the «Americana”].

initially this is a big empty space, plenty of seats, good happy hour but no atmosphere, but wait… it picks up, this place is great for a late night hang-​out and on a school night
If you want to flick your heels of and dance around to some good music with some complete unpretentious strangers, drink some good cocktails (warning they get a bit expensive post the happy hour), eat some tapas (and munchy type) food… this is the place for you… and I didn’t even get my feet trodden on

Listen peeps, there’s a time and a place. But when the time is right, Zebrano is your place.

If you must go to Zebranos, then you should definitely pick this Zebrano over its sad and scary little sister off of Kingly Street.
Zebranos Greek Street hosts a good time party vibe playing commercial music and drawing a fun twenty sumthin crowd. Good for a pre-​night warm up or a dance all night long, and although drinks service is slow you could, if you wanted to, find a corner to chill out and chat whilst watching all the party goers shake their thangs.
Plus ground floor and first floor areas means you get phone reception. Bonus.
Enjoy.

My girl latoya and I walked around the area for a long time, checking out the menus restaurants post on their front doors before settling on this one. Turns out it’s also a bar/​lounge too; maybe we’ll come back to see how it is in that department. Bathroom has that vibe downstairs, with the attendant that has various goodies and shoves paper towels at you. I can get it myself thanks.
The staff was a little snooty at first, maybe because of our outfits. we weren’t dressed up in black everybody else in the place. But they warmed up to us when they realized we have good manners! I say my pleases and thankyous all the time; even with bad service cause you never knooow (the fate of my food from the kitchen to my table is in their hands! literally!)
Besides that, I ordered the Zebrano burger. which was amazinggg! I loved it! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The chips that went with it were perfect; along with the spicy sweet sour sauce. All the flavors went well with eachother, it was the perfect end to my long day.
Good food makes me happy.

Good for large groups as they have a booking system and tables. If you are a serious boozer then turn up for the happy hour and load up. Cocktails were ok but nothing special. The now defunct LAB was much better for example. I can confirm that Saturday nights are crowded and popular.
If you can gyrate on the dancefloor then you will be popular.

I came here after having a really horrible time at a certain member’s only club. I had to pay 10 quid to get in (well, really my friends paid for me cuz I’m skint. Thanks!) and had a really good time.
This place looks tiny from outside but is actually really big. The main level has a large bar area with room to dance as well as a large dance floor towards the back. There is an upstairs area called the «balcony bar» which is located above the entrance and give you a view of the street below. There is also a basement area but I unfortunately was too busy dancing up a storm to check out.
The music here is pretty good. It was Saturday night and there was quite a bit of hip-​hop being played. So I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it was hip-​hop night. Well at least hip-​hop hour. They played a good mix of old skool along with the new stuff.
I definitely had a great time and would def return when I’m in the dancing mood.

I went to Zebrano last night with friends. We were just walking by when the guy on the door enticed us in with half price drinks until 9pm. We couldn’t refuse and the bar maid was nice enough to grab some extra bar stools so that most of us could sit.
From the outside it looks like a tiny place but once inside it opened up to a 3 level bar and nightclub. The inside is decorated nicely and although it was largely empty the atmosphere was still good. During the happy our they had Becks & San Miguel for £1.75, a 50% discount and a selection of cocktails and wines at half the usual price too.
Unusually they had a life drawing class going on in the rear section of the bar, presumably a tactic to get more people in the door!

My brother and I were visiting London from the U.S., and when we needed a place to go to after doing some pub crawls, this place stayed open.
There was a good vibe here, and the service was good. We got in with no hassle, and one of the nights, we even got some drink coupons on the way in.
Both times we went, we brought some girls… But I think it was in the gay area of London, so I guess that’s a good thing…
Overall, good times.
