    Had an amazing time at Simmons all thanks to our lovely bartender Ismail! He was super friendly and really made us the best drinks all night. Atmosphere of the bar is really cozy and a great way to spend a Friday night out, not to mention the fab happy hour! Shoutout to Ismail again!!

    Great place for drinks at great prices, especially during happy hour, which runs at some peak times as well (4-9pm Sunday to Friday)! Chose the Long Island Iced Tea in glasses and a teapot. A great touch! Very cool vibey place, with retro games on the basement floor. Only a 5 minute walk from King's Cross station. Not a place to go to for food though!

    Was really surprised and disappointed by our experience considering the high rating! Cocktails were shockingly bad for a place calling themselves a cocktail bar. Plus the staff must either be under paid and/or over worked because they seemed absolutely miserable and their customer service skills were pretty lacking.

    A lovely evening dancing at Simmons in Kings Cross. Lots of great cocktails including the famous "Zombie". The staff were all great and the DJ was excellent. The Venue is two floors and can get cosy however there is seating downstairs and a second bar. A great place to spend an evening drinking and dancing with friends.

    A cute little bar hidden in Kings Cross, our bar attendant Ismail was AMAZING, super attentive and had a great attitude! Will definitely be returning for more of those amazing cocktails.

    Love this place and try to go whenever I'm in London, whether it's just for a personal drink or to meet with clients. Great drinks (the Bees Knees is banging), brilliant atmosphere and the service is always top notch. I don't remember everyone's names but Fizz, Mo and Macy I do remember because of how incredible their care and level of service is. I always leave happy, slightly tiddled and feeling like a VIP. Smashing venue and team!

    Nice vibes. But the table we on wasn’t great, a bit too small. Also my Long Island was mostly Coke.

    Fun spot, reminds me of a house party. And of course the happy hour all the way until 9 PM is an amazing deal. Two cocktails for £10! We got the long island and the lychee cocktails, loved that the lychee came in a tea cup. They also bumped some awesome music and had a Super Nintendo with street fighter downstairs. This place gets packed, hard to find a place to sit. But overall, fun vibes no doubt.

    I went to this pub with my friends. We all had free drinks (strawberry blonde) via the Dusk app and then different cocktails, and it was all good. Staff was friendly, the atmosphere was really good and colourful. Although it is a small place, the vibe somehow makes you feel like you're in a club, but you can easily have a chat with who is next to you also. I like the small, hidden local places in the King's Cross area, and this place is one of them.

    Best bar in Kings Cross, I would come here every day if I could. If you want a good night out come see Soph, Cam and Big Ish at Kings Cross Simmons. They are the loves of my life <3

  • 5/5 Mitchell D. 2 months ago on Google • 63 reviews New
    Great value happy hour, only downside is that the alcohol free beer is twice the price of the alcohol beer during happy hour which feels bad even though it's awesome that anything is discounted. Just if you're trying not to drink don't go during happy hour as the maths just doesn't support being sober :D

  • 5/5 Yun-Chen L. 3 months ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    Happy hour is the best, you can get two cocktails with £10💖 Cocktails are great and the garnishes are soooo cute! Love the disco ball in the bar🪩

    🍹 Bar Review 🍹 Greetings, friends! My recent experience at the marvelous bar I discovered, where every sip tantalized my taste buds and the staff left a lasting impression. Take note, though: it's worth mentioning that space may be a tad tight, but don't let that deter you from this incredible hideaway. I recommend this enchanting bar if you're in the mood for flavorful cocktails and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Naomi U. 1 month ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Didn't eat food, so no comment. Had cocktails from happy hour menu, which was great. Made well and tasty. The only niggle is that the ladies toilets are tiny, and the door swings inwards instead off out which would give a bit more room to get in the cubical and close thedoor. Luckily it was not too busy so just went with door open.

    Loved this place, great atmosphere and love the retro school desks as tables downstairs. Happy hour is fantastic and the cocktail teapots and teacups are a cute concept. Second time here when staying in London befire heading out on the Eurostar and it won't be our last!

    This bar is a true delight! The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for unwinding after a long day. The bartenders are skilled and creative, whipping up delicious cocktails and recommending unique flavors based on personal preferences. The selection of drinks is extensive, catering to all tastes. The friendly staff and great service add to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to socialize and enjoy a relaxing evening. Cheers to this amazing bar!

    Always good vibes at Simmons in Kings Cross! 5 of us went tonight and loved all the cocktails, I really enjoyed my Long Island Iced Teas made by Ish 🥰

    Lovely environment, friendly staff. Nat and their coworker were great in particular. Drinks are absolutely delicious - tried the spicy mojito which was perfect. :)) thanks and we will be back!

  • 3/5 Tai C. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe was nice although it's very small in terms of space & the barmaid who's on the downstairs bar is very miserable. If you suffer from claustrophobia probably not a good idea to go here. There's also a downstairs part but the ceilings are very low, so anyone over 5'10 should watch their heads. The people I was with definately made the experience better.

    Most awful clubbing experience in recent years. On 26th of November at around 1.30 am, I was getting in with my 2 friends when I saw my other friend, a 21 year old girl being physically pushed out of the club by security. She weights about 58 kilos while security guy must have been over 100. She was crying next 30 minutes out of shame and guilt. Reason for pushing a girl out? She was looking at security guy! What a crime! Why was she looking at him? Because she thought he was cute. Maybe you should have a warning at the entrance, not to make eye contact with security in the future. While waiting for uber to take us to another place, 2 well dressed middle aged man were waiting "approval" from security to enter. Security person was "scanning" them from head to toe, and after whole 25 seconds he said just "No''. One of the lads asked nicely, can I know why, when security guy started raising his voice, waving his hands in aggressive manner. A shameful display for a famous club in Central London, 21 century. I wouldn't recommend this place to ANYONE who has a even a ounce of self-respect.

    Had a long needed catch up with some friends and we stumbled in simmons by chance and had an amazing time! Tasty cocktails and cheesy bangers and the night was made so much better with Jesse's service! Speedy and really friendly will be coming back asap! 10/10

  • 5/5 Kate W. 1 year ago on Google
    I quite enjoyed this little bar. The drinks were absolutely fantastic. I got one of their specialty cocktails that was infused with chocolate, and it was one of the most delicious drinks I've ever had, even if it was very small. This place has a really unique, upbeat atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. It seems to be for much younger people. Everybody I saw was in their early twenties. If you're coming with your friends, it's definitely a great place to go.

  • 5/5 Stanley D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice Simmons - quick service, £2.50 beers in happy hour (4-9pm), music just the right volume.

  • 5/5 Zac R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing time inside, fantastic customer service. Drinks exceptional some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I’d like to say a special thank you to Mo and Macy for there wonderful assistance during my time in the venue! Fantastic venue would 100% recommend

  • 4/5 Dave L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, they've got a SNES downstairs for some cool retro vibes. Happy hour makes it really good value for money. Only grumble is the bar area is quite small and it can be a bit of a wait because everybody orders cocktails.

  • 4/5 Clarice M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fun range of drinks. Lots of alcohol free options - proper mocktails and even some drinks with sober-spirits on the higher price range. It's a small venue but perfect with a group of 5 downstairs.

  • 5/5 Eva G. 2 years ago on Google
    We have been there days ago, the drinks are really good and the prices are affordable. The place was quite busy, but Francesca, the supervisor was really kind, she explained us all the menu, as it was the first time for us, and she also helped us on choosing the drinks. We literally loved the drinks!!!! What can we say, that's a excellent costumer service. I highly recommend this place. Thank you 😊

  • 5/5 Caitlin R. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a really nice time last night (Thursday 23rd September), every single member of staff was great and really friendly. Service and the drinks were excellent! I frequently go to the other Simmons locations but tonight was my first at Kings Cross and it is now my favourite.

  • 5/5 Φαίη �. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere was nice, the music was great and the staff was friendly, I totally loved the blonde girl and one of the security guard (he was so funny, this is what we need, not an "animal" guard). The only thing that I wouldn't like is that the place wasn't that clean, as it should be.

  • 5/5 mouroudy m. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite place in london ! Great music , Superb staff Specially Sarah !

  • 4/5 Rahnum I. 1 year ago on Google
    Good little place around King's Cross. Has happy hours everyday. Students gets Happy Hour extended period. Has 2 floors but it's bit cramped. But good vibe and good people. Music could be bit louder tho.

  • 5/5 Manuela C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to a few Simmons bars in London but this has got to be my favourite one! The music is great specially on a Saturday night and the staff are so friendly and complete your night!! I have to give a big shout out to Natalia though as her main focus is that you enjoy your night and is always there to recommend new things! She’s fast and efficient and gives the best experience. She goes above and beyond for all your needs and has even asked the DJ to put songs on that I wanted! Overall I love this place and I love Natalia !!!

  • 5/5 Louis G. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to this bar a few days ago and had a couple drinks with friends! Drinks were great and the staff was very friendly. One person in particular was Karl. He was very helpful and gave us advice on different drinks to try and they didn't disappoint! Will be coming back!

  • 5/5 Henrietta G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely venue! I came in for my birthday and was made to feel really special by the team. Mo and Riya were especially helpful, I’ll definitely be coming back! Love the vibe of the place

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited Simmons Kings X with a group of work colleagues and had a fantastic evening. Great cocktails, brilliant music, super friendly staff. We will definitely be back for our next social!

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere inside, kind staff and nice drinks. Also massive thank you to the very kind gentleman behind the bar for keeping my bag containing my laptop safe after I mistakenly left it in the premises. He went above and beyond to try to locate me and for that I am truly grateful. I actually would love to show you a token of my appreciation so if someone from the team could get back to me regarding this, it would be great to know when a suitable time would be to drop off the gift to him. Unfortunately I forgot to get a name, but just say it was from the lost bag guy and I’m sure he’ll know what that means. Anyway to conclude, couldn’t recommend this place enough, definitely worth a visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 4/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not too bad place. Drinks seem ok and popular.

  • 4/5 Jess M. 2 years ago on Google
    Completely awesome bar. Loved the choice of drinks and decor inside. One lady at the bar was so helpful but she appereared to be doing all of the work on her own... other staff were sitting behind bar chatting and laughing when there was a queue of people waiting to be served. Would except better service!
