    We got the £110 package that included 10 cocktails & 3 sharing platters . It is a great deal and our waiter was super attentive , he let us choose which drinks we wanted to have as part of the package deal and which we had as part of the happy hour deal .When happy hour had finished at 8pm, 2 of the people I was with had went out for a smoke , he had waited for them to come back to see if they had wanted anything else even though it was past the time, which I thought was nice . We had about 16 cocktails between the few of us and all of them tasted nice as other places I’ve been to before have been strict about that. Summer sling cocktail was particularly refreshing . The lamb cutlets and Spanish chorizo that we had as a part of the sharing platters were also delicious and deserve a special mention . Some of the cocktails did have a bit too much ice which will definitely water down your drink if you like to take your time . The cocktail list is also huge and has a massive variety , they even do classics cocktails that aren’t on the menu. All the songs that were played were also great tunes . Overall great experience , I will be definitely coming back .

    This was my favorite tiki bar in London, great decor, tasty drinks and good food. The service was great and Adam was a great bartender with a love for tiki! The only thing I would change is the music.

    I went early in the evening to the venue. I ordered a sharer platter and the early cocktail offer. The venue had such a great feel to it and the staff was very friendly.

    I didn't enjoy the food. I had burger and chips which were both lukewarm and quickly turned cold while I was eating it. The price of a can of coke was outrageous. £2.70. The music wasn't my cup of tea. However the staff are helpful and attentive. Well the bartender and waitress I dealt with anyway. Great selection of cocktails and alcoholic drinks.

    A Tiki themed bar with lots of choices of cocktails which gives off a fun tropical vibe! They have 2 floors and many indoor and outdoor seatings , 2 bars and 1 dance floor which is located downstairs. Great place to drink, eat and party! Lots of fun during the weekends. Weekdays tend to be alot quieter. Drink prices are alittle pricey on the non happy hours days but it's also worth the price as they sell some cocktails in unique cuppings and decorations which matches the theme Tiki. Recommended to party goers!

    An amazing tiki bar, the service was sublime, the staff are so attentive and friendly without being overwhelming, took our order and serviced us delicious drinks without having to queue at the bar, even we didn’t have a table booked. The place was packed but somehow we still had our own comfortable space to enjoy the evening. Highly recommend the Melon Breeze and the Rum Runner. If anything, I would say it was a bit on the loud side, but that’s a personal preference and didn’t really effect the awesome time we had 😃 Big thank you for the hall team!! We will definitely be going for seconds!!

    Service was great at Sugar Cane. Both bartenders were extremeky friendly and they always came to the table to take orders instead of having us go to the bar and order our drinks. Place is really cool and has a latino / caribbean atmosphere. Their music choice is great as well. We tried a couple of drinks and they wrre both great. They did not feel too strong either which makes it even better and their sodas were reallt comfy. It is located in front of a bus station which makes it really easy to get to or to get out to. Sugar Cane is located about 5 minutes away from Clapham Junction Station and there are several places around where you also could go but I highly recommend this bar for their value and excellent service.

    I absolutely love the vibe here and the choice of nibbles. I came here with two friends on a rainy Thursday night in January - probably why it was relatively quiet, mostly couples coming in and out for a few drinks and nibbles, which made it feel even more cosy. It’s perfect for couples or a few friends because. While the upper floor isn’t huge, the seating is arranged in a way that gives you a sense of privacy, which I liked. There’s a different bar downstairs that wasn’t being used when I got there but it looks fantastic. The music was good and at the right level for being able to hear it but also being able to talk comfortably. We shared fried, chicken wings and chicken gyoza, all of which were okay, nice enough to go with your drinks. The cocktails were good too, well mixed although we mostly had their classics and didn’t try much from the tiki menu. I thought they’d have more exciting glasses and presentation based on how fantastic the decor was but I either didn’t order the right things or it just wasn’t what I expected. This didn’t really take away from enjoyment though, we had a lovely evening. The staff member who served us was really nice and when we wanted to split the bill he calculated it super fast in his head for us. I would definitely go here again. In fact I plan to go again in the next few weeks!

    • Exquisite Dining Experience: Dining at [Posh Restaurant] in Dubai was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with impeccable service and an elegant ambiance. The menu boasted a variety of culinary delights, each dish crafted with precision and bursting with flavor. Whether it was the tender wagyu beef or the decadent seafood platter, every bite was a culinary masterpiece. Pair that with the stunning views of Dubai's skyline, and you have a dining experience that is truly unforgettable.

    Amazing Tiki bar with super delicious cocktails! (They also have a nice happy hour deal) The vibe was fun, and the service was nice, but the cherry on top was the amazing cocktails. The Pina Colada was to die for. Definitely recommend trying one if you like cocktails.

    Was in here on Sunday for a work’s Christmas do. Good cocktail bar with table service,the lads behind the bar were blinding and looked after us well. Music playing wasn’t that busy but it was Sunday night. It would be good on a Friday and Saturday night. Would definitely come here again.

  • 3/5 Asha C. 7 months ago on Google
    Staff were accommodating and professional. Atmosphere was nice and the drinks were very good considering location and what you get. The downside however was the food. Lamb chops were lovely but the prawns were black and chewy, sauce used for chicken wings tasted off and ribs were very chewy. I wouldn't recommend the food here for a night or evening out, but if you fancy going to a place with good vibes, music and drinks then this would be a good pick. I guess eat beforehand or just order some chips. I wish I did!

  • 2/5 Claudette C. 6 months ago on Google
    Felt like I went back in time 1970's Basic food, watered down cocktails. I should have done a 360 when there were no other patrons in the bar and at happy hour... Needless to say ... nothing happy about that.

  • 4/5 Sanny J. 3 months ago on Google New
    Used 'Groupon offer' The food was very filling but not the best however their cocktails were tasty. The services we received wasn't the best as they took ages to take our order and also for our food to arrive despite the place being empty. Inside is a bit dark but that's the African theme of the bar. Not a bad hang out spot

  • 5/5 Darren B. 4 months ago on Google
    Used 'Groupon Offer' - Lovely Restaurant, Tapas & Burgers. Food was fresh & Tasty. Cocktails half price up to 6pm £6 each. Service was very attentive. African theme - Very dark but music & atmosphere was lovely. A++++

    Love the bar! Here for my birthday only two of my friends have showed up so far but we’re having a a bloody great time!! Cocktails are amazing, great atmosphere! Loving it.

  • 5/5 Paula B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing! The customer service was outstanding. Everybody here is doing an excellent job. The bartenders were so kind and helpful in helping us choose the perfect drinks. I would totally come here again and definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 Alican G. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible atmosphere, super friendly staff, delicious food, and tiki cocktails 🍹 We'll definitely visit again. Do note that by their nature, original tiki drinks are quite strong compared to regular cocktails.

  • 5/5 Arthur L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fruit forward tiki drinks in Southwest London. DJ and dance floor in the basement with knowledgeable and friendly drink staff in the main first floor bar. They feature all the classics including a great Mai Tai and Zombie as well as plenty of house made cocktails. The sugar cane punch is nothing to write home about, but the staff can make exceptional drinks to order and execute on a spec if given one. Their rum selection is somewhat lacking in funk, and few of their drinks carry a strong spice (cinnamon, clove, allspice etc) but everything was executed exceptionally and drinks were balanced but strong. Probably the best tiki in London after sampling quite a few.

    I came her for drinks with my friends on the weekend for my birthday and had a lovely time! We were served by David who was an amazing waiter. He made sure to check in on us throughout the evening to make sure we were okay whilst delivery a friendly service. He even changed the music for us! I'd definitely come back again. Thank you David :)

  • 4/5 Bobby K. 1 year ago on Google
    Sorted us out with some specialist cocktails - great service and a great price! Big ups to the bartenders, they know their stuff! They did bribe me for this review with a free drink though. Pretty solid tiki experience regardless

  • 5/5 Lady T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. Great environment and decor. Lovely food, music and customer service. Regarding the group food platter, the platter was too narrow and wasn't a lot of food on a platter. We two group food platters for 10 people- i reckon this wasn't enough for 10 people and it would suit 5 people

  • 5/5 Léna F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience during happy hour! David (I think) made our cocktails and they were all delicious and beautiful, the service was also really quick. Venue seemed more like a late night place and very atmospheric, the outside area was great for us smokers to have a chill early drink! Also would recommend for an actual Mai Tai !

  • 5/5 Laura A. 2 years ago on Google
    A really nice tiki bar with a wide range of cocktails! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I've been here a few times now and definitely would come back again.

  • 5/5 Alexander D. 2 years ago on Google
    David and Vlad have been amazing tonight, food and experience has been amazing. Very reasonably priced especially during happy hour and customer service has been amazing. Great night out to this amazing restaurant and David and Vlad played a big part in this thank you

    Sugar cane…. Yes it’s a sweet deal! Super fun drinks and friendly/helpful staff! Will come back 😊

  • 2/5 Fred H. 2 years ago on Google
    On the surface it looks like a cool place, but the toilets are absolutely gross. Also, no cash accepted but don't take American Express? Are they that tight to want to milk every single penny from their overpriced cocktails? Had a virgin mojito, £5.50, and there was so little liquid in it, it could have probably fitted in a shot glass without ice.

  • 5/5 Amire S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places I’ve been in very friendly staff great food and amazing atmosphere I highly recommend it for night out

  • 5/5 Lazane d. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Great cocktail experience 😄 We spent a lovely Birthday party and enjoyed some rather exotic, but quite delicious drinks. The atmosphere is amazing and the cocktails are amazing. Each cocktail was pretty different. Some of them had a fancy serving. I really like the Sugar cane Punch and Rum Runner which is strong and refreshing. Happy Hours on cocktails on Saturday night is Must. Dj from 9pm onwards. The snacks are surprisingly good as well. A very special bar in London. Absolutely worth the visit, but reservation is highly recommended.

    Lovely experience! Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the service was super quick. Never had to go to the bar to ask for anything, they were incredibly attentive and proactive!

  • 5/5 Mohitha G. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Amazing experience! Had been there with my best friend to celebrate her birthday. Beautifully garnished cocktails which taste so delicious. Very chill atmosphere, we felt just like the tropics when we saw the cocktails served in fresh coconut. Rare cocktails and exotic platters with authentic tiki experience. The cocktails are really tasty and strong . Zombie and sugarcane punch is must try . Service is unreal and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The bar also does amazing deals on food and cocktails during the week and the weekends. Not many places do happy hours over the weekend anymore . I definitely recommend this place for some amazing food and drinks . This place is really wonderful to celebrate birthdays or any other events . Would definitely come back with my whole bunch of friends again.

    Absolutely stellar experience at Sugar Cane, Their bottomless brunch exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and energetic. The variety of food options left us spoiled for choice, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The bottomless drinks were a definite highlight – endless mimosas and Rum Punches kept flowing, ensuring our glasses were never empty. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we ate enough and our glasses never ran dry. Overall, a delightful brunch experience that I can't wait to revisit!

    The lady with the blonde hair and glasses was so helpful and friendly. She came back often to make sure we had a drink during our bottomless. Thank you for a fantastic brunch!
