The cocktails are the reason you’ve to go here. The ambiance is cool with dark themes. The music not too loud is just about right. Go here for a drink after work or to laze through the weekends evenings. If there’s one drink you ought to drink here it must be the holy negroni. The best negroni yet
We stumbled across Freud Bar whilst vaguely looking for awatering holeafter a lovely dinner at The Ivy Market Grill earlier on. Its nestled underground at the Tottenham Court road end of Shaftesbury Avenue. Id heard of Freud somewhere before (I seem to have developed a form of Alzheimers since hitting 30 and cant remember where) so headed down the rickety metal stairs into the basement bar. It was busy and lively with loud music and lots of couples and groups getting stuck in to a huge range ofbrightcocktails.The cocktail menu is truly epic. Theyre all stencilled onto huge boards above the bar, which is lined with people gaping up at it attempting to make an impossible decision. My own gaping had me decide on a negroni, and the other half went for a mojito.While delicious enough, theyre not pretty or fancy,most things seem to comein a pint glass or tumbler, although I did see a couple of martini glasses around. Its a high ceilinged industrial looking space with grey walls, bar and pretty much everything else, and antique paintings up the place isnt exactly pretty but its really lively, the staff are quick and smileyand everyone seemed pretty happy. They take cards (so annoying whenbars dont) andalso do food and coffee etc in the daytime one to add to the repertoire for sure. feedingfranklin.co.uk
One of the best cocktail places in London! Not a lot to choose in whisky based concoctions, but the Gina (Hendrick’s G&T) was excellent! The LIIT lived up to expectations. Great ambience, and close to the restaurants of Covent Garden.
I’ve usually stuck to their house wine here, but I’ve heard great things about the cocktails from friends. The ambiance is fantastic as a super-trendy, Manhattan-esque basement bar, and the bartenders are super friendly. The cons: it’s pretty tiny so if you don’t arrive early, it’s a battle to find a seat and everyone’s packed in, but it’s not a deal-killer. The reason for the rating is the smell–maybe I’ve just been unlucky, but since the bar is sandwiched between the men’s room on one side and the ladies’ on the other, my friends and I always leave because of the faint urine smell.I would still recommend checking it out; you may have better luck!
Freudian tipple. An arty friend introduced me to this hard-to-find bar a few years ago and it has since been in my top west end drinking places. Go down some iron trellis steps(stilettos beware) and enter the cellar-like bar. The clientele are mixed and the staff occasionally stroppy but you will have a wonderful cocktail at a good price and a very good club sandwich.
Just like being back in NYC!. One of the best little cocktail bars I’ve been to. Cheap and strong drinks, divey surroundings (and rough toilets!) and a cool, loud crowd throng the basement bar. It’s just like being back in New York…
Great for lunch, or cocktails. I love this place. Everyone I’ve ever yaken here has been amazed – most have walked past it dozens of times without ever spotting it, but this cellar bar is a real find. Down a set of ricketty metal steps Freud opens out into a large-ish space, dominated by a bar with small tables by the walls. Art hangs from the walls – a different show each month – and you can buy the pictures if you want.The food is good value – large toasted sandwiches, soups with salads. In the evening it turns into a cocktail bar, and is usually far busier, but it’s worth the crush because they really are excellent.Highly recommended!
