Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the service, describing servers and bartenders as friendly and attentive without being overbearing. One diner says the bartenders made the best drinks they had had in a long time. Happy hour drinks and the photo booth come up close behind, and karaoke, a great DJ and plenty of dancing also get mentions. Several describe a buzzy atmosphere with a good crowd on a Saturday night. One reviewer on a pub crawl notes a long wait to get in, though the crawl got the group through faster. One reviewer reports that a bartender told him to leave a woman alone while he waited to order. He says he had done nothing inappropriate, and he left feeling sad after an otherwise very good day. Others close on warmer moments, including a birthday celebrant who says the staff made her feel special from the moment she arrived and a group of 14 that was helped immediately on entry.

    “Check the cameras am usually a thick skin person but honest to God I speak to a lady on the bar at the lady while to waiting to order my round, the mixed race female bar tender says” leave her alone she’s just ordering a drink “ I say to the lady have I in any way said or acted inappropriate to you , what’s her issue , say it I and I will be 10 feet from you ( because I don’t want to get falsely accused of sexual assault) even stop security to ask why she would say something like that. Everything else was awesome, maybe she liked the same woman but I promise this lady was not a drunk person , we chatted for a few minutes and she could look after herself, please visit but avoid the bar tender if you are a male no idea what she could say to security or the police , actually felt sad after a very good day.”

    “Billy was an awesome server! Super friendly, attentive, and made sure we always had what we needed without being overbearing. The bar itself has a really fun atmosphere, especially if you’re into karaoke. Happy hour has great deals on drinks and it’s a great place to hang out with friends. Between the service, the karaoke, and the happy hour specials, I’d definitely come back. Thanks, Billy, for making it such a great experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

    “Simmons is just one of those places that gets it right. Walked in not knowing what to expect and left genuinely impressed — the atmosphere is something else. It’s got that perfect balance of buzzy and laid-back, the kind of place where you settle in for “one drink” and suddenly two hours have passed. The décor is fun without trying too hard, and the whole space just has a great energy to it. Definitely becoming a regular spot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere with actual character in London.”
