About The Alice
The Alice is a pub in London at 133 Houndsditch, laid out in a bistro and restaurant style within a large, spacious room. The food menu includes burgers, among them the Beef Smash Melt and the Chicken Caesar burger. A lunchtime deal runs alongside the menu, and bottomless brunch is offered as well. The bar pours Guinness and pints within a variety of drinks, and large screens show sport. A DJ plays music at night, giving groups and drinkers a reason to stay on after the food.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, attentive bar staff are the most frequent draw, with several reviewers saying one server or bartender made the night, from a bottomless brunch where drinks were freshly made and a pineapple allergy was accommodated, to Thursday evenings with a good vibe. Food comes close behind. The Beef Smash Melt and Chicken Caesar burgers were called gorgeous, and a chicken burger on the lunchtime deal arrived quickly despite the rush, which one reviewer called perfect for a quick break from the office. The Guinness also earned praise. Atmosphere divides opinion. Some describe a busy, fun room, while one found no atmosphere at all and another thought the Ibiza style club music out of place on a Thursday, preferring a guitarist or singer. Service slipped once when bar staff served the wrong drink and did not recognise certain spirits. One reviewer called a burger terrible to look at, and the pub offered a replacement and refunded the onion rings unasked.

“Thursday night always good vibe, polite customers as well as the bar staff. Special shout to Thamy who served us, extremely friendly and fast service. Hope I spelt name correctly. Food was superb as well.”

“Vasil and Gary are great bartenders and we always have a great time getting served by them! The Alice is great fun, especially when the DJ plays songs that we can sing to! The Ibiza style club music isn’t appropriate for a bar on a Thursday night, please can we turn that off. If you could get a guitarist/singer I would certainly turn up far more often, that’s a far nicer vibe/energy for people who have just finished work than soulless mind-numbing base tracks. And more bars should support local artists.”
