    We were a group of friends that stayed for food and drinks watching a football game. The atmosphere was just great. All football fans, especially the finish fans were very glad and were singing and cheering a lot. It was far better in reality than photos shows. It really gave us some unforgettable memories.

    What a hidden gem! Well stocked with Video game arcade tables, table tennis, and mutilple TVs for sport. The Drinks are well priced (featuring Scandinavian beers too), the food is decent and the staff are friendly. I could get a seat on a Sunday afternoon to relax with friends and they even periodically gave out free popcorn! Would definitely come again :)

    Friendly staff, good coffee and hot drinks. This place is very spacious, making it an ideal location for large groups. The views are nice as you can e the canal life with its boats and kayaking people. Located close to Paddington station, this certainly makes a handy place to know. Will be back to try their food for sure, an overview of their open kitchen made us crave some of the tasty concoctions. The decor is warm and welcoming.

    My experience or lack there of, of the Nordic bar, at 11.55pm Saturday 05 March 2022 I'm on a city break in London on my own, and asked a barman who's pub was closing, could he recommend a bar that says open later. He said 'Sure the Nordic bar, they stay open until 2am'. So I looked it up and went there. The bouncer said, have you got friends already in here, I replied 'No, I'm on a city break on my own'. He refused me entry. He said no 'singles allowed' So the lesson here is if you are on your own, don't go here because it's a crime to be on your own!

    Wow what a place, stumbled across this by accident and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a toasty welcome! The beer was lovely 'thors p1ss', the decor was excellent, especially the toilets made me laugh. We decided to have some food to share what certainly didn't disappoint. Overall a fantastic place to chill and watch sport as there's a TV on just about every wall. Shame it wasn't our local. Can't wait to go back. A hidden gem!

    Love going going to this bar. Great atmosphere and love wheel of misfortune to see which shot you end up having. Great place for watching sports ⚽️ mainly football for me. Also love playing the old school retro arcade games 🕹️ like pac man. Great cocktails too and the management looked after us personally. Thanks see you again soon.

    I had a fantastic experience at this spot on a Tuesday evening! The interior ambiance was impressive, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. The owner's generosity in offering us a round of beers and an amaretto was a delightful surprise. I'm definitely planning to revisit—this place gets a solid 100% from me!

    Came to the bar Friday night 10th and me and my son had a great eve. It was such a cool place with a great atmosphere. We really liked playing Packman! Loved the cocktails and food was good. Service was amazing staff so welcoming! We ended up joining another table and the couple were a good laugh. Highly recommend, especially as they show footie and other sports on screens all around. Also Spin the wheel is great... no idea what shot I had but it was good 😊

    I’ve been a regular at Nordic Bar since I watched all of the Denmark games there at the Euros in 2021 and was gutted when they had to close down for the refurb. So when they reopened I got my friends involved and we headed over for a big Saturday evening and had a fantastic time. We booked a table for 6pm and Attila + his team were just on the ball from the get go. They really took fantastic care of us even when things were hectic and busy - we were all really impressed and Nordic Bar looks great since the renovation. We had a super night and I can’t emphasise how good the service was and we were pleasantly surprised by the Magnus platter and the burgers. Credit to Attila, he runs a tight ship - will definitely continue to be a regular there.

    Amazing hidden gem in central London. Attila is an amazing manager and making the place feel like home. Food is decent, and not on the pricy side. The vibes and the atmosphere is top notch! Highly recommended! ☺️

    Incredible, different from any other bar - great food and drink (even Thor’s’ P***!) Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Agnija S. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely staff members, Ameen and his colleague extremely helpful and willing to go extra mile in terms of guest satisfaction, there are not many places in London where bartenders also can be an amazing hosts and waiters, after renovation Nordic bar looks spot on! Definitely will come back !!!Recommend everyone!

    Brilliant night, the team were all friendly and professional. Beer pong tables, the shot wheel was non-stop with my group and highly recommended this place to everyone. Will have to come back soon.

    Thank you so much to the Nordic team for making us feel incredibly welcome and serving great drinks! Such a great cocktail bar and must visit in Fitzrovia!

  • 5/5 Henry R. 5 months ago on Google
    Brilliant bar. Huge TV screens perfect for football, very clean, and the shot roulette game is fantastic - would recommend.

  • 5/5 William C. 5 months ago on Google
    Went to watch the rugby world cup final here. Atmosphere was great until one group of people got in a conflict with us. Atilla, the store manager, came through and dealt with the situation superbly. what a top bloke he was, definitely recommend this bar to watch any games!! (P.s. toilets are lovely)

    A Stellar 40th Birthday Bash at Nordic Bar in Soho I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at Nordic Bar in Soho, and I couldn't have chosen a better venue for such an intimate occasion with some close friends. The drink selection at Nordic Bar is diverse and impressive, catering to a variety of tastes. The bartenders were not only skilled in delicious crafting cocktails but also exhibited a genuine passion for mixology. Our guests were delighted with the creative concoctions served throughout the night, adding an extra layer of excitement to the celebration. The shot roulette was of course the icing on the Cake ! What truly set Nordic apart, however, was the impeccable service provided by the manager, Adri. From the outset, Adri went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the celebration was flawless. His attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor were exceptional. Adri took the time to understand our preferences, making personalized recommendations that enhanced the overall experience for our group. The food offerings were equally impressive, with a menu that catered to various dietary preferences. The quality and presentation of the dishes exceeded our expectations, receiving compliments from all the guests. The staff, under Adri's guidance, ensured that everyone's needs were met promptly and with a smile. Overall, Nordic proved to be the ideal venue for a celebration. The combination of a Viking vibe, the arcade games and Beer pong , and, above all, Adri's exceptional service along with his team made it an unforgettable night. If you're looking for a venue that seamlessly combines style, service, and celebration, Nordic Bar is the place to be. My heartfelt thanks to Adri and the entire team at Nordic Bar for making my day a truly memorable experience.

    I came here last Thursday and was such a good vibe!! I left my jacket here and they kept it safe for me and had it for when I arrived today. Staff are amazing and assistant general manager is so helpful. Thanks and can’t wait for the next night here!

  • 3/5 Emilian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite interesting decorations with random, nordics-related stuff and images. Good for when there are some hockey matches to watch in there, and the fact they are selling some interesting drinks from the Northern Countries. But other than that, the music is too loud, typical English pub style, floor was absolutely awful, and overall didn't have that big of an extatic experience

  • 5/5 Zachary R. 2 years ago on Google
    Good fun location with beer pong, old arcade style games and incredibly friendly and accommodating staff members. Quite a tight environment and very narrow corridor to get to the toilets. Not for those scared of catching Covid

  • 4/5 Ian C. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a lively bar! Plenty of people having a great time! The staff are friendly and work like crazy to keep customers supplied with food and drinks. Be warned that happy hour is a busy time but with two for one cocktails and 25% off food it's no wonder. Food is good although I wish it was a bit more nordic. A great place for groups looking for a fun time. The photos I have attached are of the gents toilet. I think they show that fun is number one here.

  • 5/5 F. M. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place underground to have biers or cocktails with your friends...you can also ask for a beer pong fight and make a new friends.

  • 5/5 Kieran S. 4 years ago on Google
    First time visiting and already planning my return. Would have never stumbled upon this great little bar without being told about it. Sports, beer/prosecco pong, cocktails, great music and food. The happy hour left me very happy over the course of a Saturday! Staff were great and I can't wait to go back.

  • 4/5 Peta M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great bar! Fantastic food, lots of drinks to choose from including a shot wheel! I was excited by my snowball thinking it would be like the drink but to my surprise it was Bailey's and sambuca. It went down well. We played prosecco pong which was fun.

    I have mixed feelings about booking this place. I made a booking with an enquiry about accessibility, which the staff were completely transparent with saying they couldn't accommodate. It transpired that accessibility would no longer be an issue and after paying the deposit to secure the booking, they acknowledged me saying accessibility was no longer an issue and the booking was confirmed in their email so our group had a place to watch the first GP of 2022. Low and behold, I was told that they can't accommodate wheelchair users to access the front door and they cancelled my booking on the morning of the day we were due to go there. There was no response to either an email or a message until the day after, nor did they take my calls and I didn't receive my refund until 5 days later. Thankfully, a friend in the group was able to book a table without a deposit so we weren't left wihout a venue. The food was good and served in reasonable time though the bar staff were somewhat forgetful as they hadn't served my drink after I'd paid. It transpired that another member of Nordic Bar's booking team had seen my initial enquiry about wheelchair access but failed to check the conversation with their colleague and cancelled my booking as a result. Doing it at such short notice was really poor form when they'd not gone to the effort of establishing the full situation or at least the key details. Would I book again? The experience in the end was good but that was only from a fortuitious opportunity taken by my friend to secure the place at late notice. Whether I'd book again would be dependent on knowing the place's booking team had learnt from this mistake as I wouldn't count on chance acting in our favour again.

    We had been searching for the last hour, walking around and trying to find a pub that wasn't nursing at the seams (on a Sunday?). Hoping to find a relaxed counter culture vibe. Very happy to have found Nordic 🪓🔥

    Basement bar that is good for after-work drinks, with plenty of seating. Shows Premier League games as well as other sports. The food is what you would expect from a sports bar, designed to soak up the booze not win Michelin stars.

  • 1/5 Tom R. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a booking for 15 people. When we arrived, there were no tables available or reserved. When asked about it, the bar staff were confused about the booking but the manager then checked and asked if it was a party of 15? He then said it was our fault for booking 1 table for 15 people (when booking they don't ask how many tables you need so this was obviously rubbish and this didn't twig with the manager that it made absolutely no sense that there was 1 table for 15 people). They had to tell people who were already there watching the football to move, obviously to their annoyance, it wasn't their fault. We got about 60% of our group sitting down when we started ordering beers and food. They then said they didn't have enough food, only chicken wings and chips. Then a few minutes later, said they also had burgers. We just finished the £75 booking deposit on beers and left which the manager (I think) then had the cheek to ask why we were leaving. Don't bother booking or going for food. It's fine to pop in to watch the football with a few beers but don't expect anything more.

    I had booked Nordic Bar for beer pong last night. Although the bar seemed great for watching sports or casual drinks after work, i would not recommend going there for beer pong. The beer pong table was set up in a narrow halfway opposite the toilets. The table itself was tiny and is not suitable for a big group of people. I was refunded my deposit for the reservation after expressing that I was not happy with the beer pong set up. Albeit the process for the refund was not properly explained to me before the manager had walked off to do something else. This left me waiting longer than I should have as he later then told me that it will be refunded automatically and I did not need to present my card. Considering it was peak hours I do not blame them for being pre occupied with other customers and under a lot of pressure. Nevertheless I would expect a venue who takes bookings and charges a deposit to be more hospitable and accommodating towards their customers. Maybe it was just a bad experience, but I would definitely not recommend this as an entertainment bar for a group of people.

    Really fun atmosphere. Great for a night out or to watch the game. The vibe was a mix between a frat house and a sports bar. The people were also very friendly. It's a little hard to find a seat at night, but there are lots of screens to watch the game, pong, and some tabletop video games.

  • 5/5 Seun O. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the vibe of this place. Juju was really positive and energetic - her drinks were amazing!!

    Had a few drinks with a friend on a (more quiet) Tuesday evening. Venue seems really nice - not too loud to chat and the staff were all kind and friendly. I really enjoyed their pulled pork burger I ordered, came with fries and was yummy! Thor's Nectar is a good beer to try out. Cocktails were pretty good too, but the price adds up over time as they're all 10GBP+.

    The Nordic Bar Team were incredible and made our work event something to remember, nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make sure the whole party had a great time. We hired out the back room for a work event, and everyone that came was really impressed with the venue (and yes the toilets were a great talking point!!) We had platters for the party which were hot and tasty, and everyone has been raving about the chicken wings this morning. The beer pong, Swedish themed cocktails, and spin the wheel, all added to the fun and enjoyment of the night. Thank you Adri and team for a fantastic evening :-)
