Reviews of Dirty Martini - Islington

V. F.

Mini Burgers are really nice. Service is decent, there was a bit of a wait time for food despite the restaurant being slight empty. Cocktails are amazing, and they are 2for1 everyday during happy hour, so would go again for that reason.

R. M.

I love the atmosphere here - the lighting and decor set a great mood and the seating areas are comfortable! The staff are professional and kind and I have visited on a few occasions including my birthday and this is always the case! This place is great to visit during happy hour it is only £5 a cocktail! I would recommend the chocolate martini it is divine ! It’s a great place to drink cocktails

G.

Great cocktails! Had a some lovely cocktails from 3-5 Happy Hour is half price! Bar staff were amazing, so courteous and professional and you get to see them shake and make all the cocktails in front of you if you sit by the bar. Great experience. Definitely coming back!

s. a.

Such a birthday treat. Very attentive and friendly staff. Really spoilt with delicious cocktails and the perfect amount of tasty nibbles. Highly recommend, go on, treat yourselves, great value for money.

Walking looking for a cocktail bar and walked into Dirty Martini, atmosphere was lovely, mocktails where good too. The cocktails looked amazing too. Love the ordering on QR code as well. The vibes in this places are 100. Definitely would recommend the Islington one for sure😊😊

Went with my partner to have some cocktails, I was happy with the traditional caipirinha (Brazilian Cocktail) that we ordered, but asked if they can twist a bit. They made one of the best passion fruit caipirinha that I had in London. Me and my partner had at least 5 each. 🤭😉👌🏼 The staffs was really friendly. Totally recommended. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

M. Z.

An atmospheric place. Very good drinks and bartenders with vivid imagination;) The only thing that would make this place better is an area to dance. Music in the main hall is too loud to have a conversation.

Φ. Τ.

Kind staff. Tasty martinis. We went on a weekday and the bar was empty

M.

Lovely cocktails and super nice & attentive staff members :) Will definitely be back!

d. n.

Great cocktails, relaxed atmosphere, staff are really friendly and quick

y. c.

Small cocktails for what they are worth but nice interior design and area.

G. V.

The only place I know so far that has happy hour until late night! Even on Friday they have happy hour until 21! Cocktail's quality is amazing, very proper and tasty. A bit too noisy for long chat and not many seats. But still great bar!

S. V.

Atmosphere is chilled but lively.

R.

Nice bar for affordable cocktails. Everything I tried I enjoyed. Drinks were well made with good ingredients to order.

K. B.

This is one of the best dirty martinis by far, have visited multiple times and never had a bad experience. A huge cocktail menu to choose from and really spacious.

A. A.

Lovely little place fab drinks. Their cocktails are amazing. Had such a wonderful time with my friends. Will go back there again.

T. M.

Nice place and drinks but staff bit inpatient with customers

Z. L.

Had a great night. Had a table booked. And although the girl working that night were very slow and first drinks we ordered with her never arrived until we got to the bar to ask about it, the other bartender made up for it very quickly and was very attentive for the rest of the night. Cocktails were very good and prices were very reasonable. Staff on the door was polite and friendly. In general was easy and fun night.

A. L.

Food platter great value for money and cocktails present well. Service good. Definitely will return

L. D.

Nice place! Happy hour is a great deal and cocktails were really good. The music could do with an update, the DJ seemed to be playing too much old skool classics but not the good ones. Other than that, really nice atmosphere, great for birthday gatherings etc...

O. D.

The cocktail are expensive but you only live once. .The staff was very friendly and knew their stuff .It's a very stylish joint.

K. A.

The decor is nice. At first glance it looks quite special, but in truth or qualifies as merely nice and modern. I was there midweek. Which meant I could park right outside and the place was quiet, which suited our party of ten, mostly. Happy hour was very welcome as drinks aren't cheap. The lack of choice of non alcoholic drinks and complete absence of snacks was disappointing.

s.

Never had been here before but heard great things. Wasn't disappointed when we got here. All friendly staff that are all amazing at making the cocktails and putting on a show while getting them done. Even the bouncers were friendly and chatting with us before we moved onto a different bar. You need to visit a few times to try more then a couple their appealing cocktails. Already planning my next visit!

A. G.

Nice relaxed bar, the drinks were tasty but couldn’t taste any alcohol in them?

L. M.

Best during happy hours. All their martinis are worth giving a go. I personally like the chocolate martini and the blue one (can't recall the name). Very genuine and sweet bartenders when I visited (which is twice). On weekends, they're usually more like a club than a bar. Decent music, decent spacing!

I. S.

Really high quality cocktails, and very cheaply priced considering location and time + day

P. S.

Good cocktails and we had a great seating area which we prebooked.

M. A.

Nice, clean venue as with most Dirty Martini's, although quite small, so in the event that it's busy it can be quite cramped. Drinks aren't cheap but there are long happy hours for specific cocktails and beers. Staff are generally nice and on a week day evening not a bad place for a quite drink and a little food.

G. C.

Great cocktails, which are especially good value during happy hour. Always a trendy crowd, and good service. Busy nights can be a bit crazy, but on a regular night it's a nice relaxing place to have a few drinks and a chat.

S. V.

Booked 2 months in advance. Our table was taken by people when we arrived and the waitress moved us to a different table that was only available for 30mins. We then got asked to move to accommodate the later booking. Outrageous. Drinks were good (although service was slow and they got one order wrong).(edit) received apology from management along with an offer for a round of drinks. This time the experience was up to their standard. Amazing drinks and service. Thumbs up dirty martini!

S. I.

Pedro been really helpful , very kind and he didn't let me clean my mistake , I could not found him gem , promotion for him

T. B.

Nice venue but waitress was incredibly inefficient & drinks ordered through her continuously never arrived so we ended up just ordering from the bar. Barmen were friendly. Snax were great They triedcti close my deposit tab off with £30 still on & then didn't give me my card back at the end of the night. I had to wait till 3pm the next day to get it back with no interest in head office to get hold of the manager to see if it could be done quicker despite that this day was my birthday and I was flying out of the country the next day. Very disappointing service overall for amount of money we spent! But nice drinks. Dj was also very unenthusiastic!

W. W.

Good cocktail, come for the Happy Hour promotion for half price cocktails. It's great value- £4/£6 martinis. With the rude door man, they will need the deals to keep me coming!

J. A.

Dirty Martini Bar was excellent. The place was very stylish and bar staff was very attentive, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the interesting variety of drinks, would definitely come again. Highly recommended.

L.

Waitress insists 'happy hour till 9' which we knew wasnt the case, -arriving at 7.45 with 15mins to get our special offers in-. Drinks come in very slow and the martinis are no longer filled up to reflect their cost. Bouncers standing amidst crowd of dancers in an already very cramped space is very inhospitable and inconvenient. Mixologists results are unpredicable and not always as delicious as they have known to be. Location and venue are pleasant though we are unsure whether complaints made on the night are actually adhered to.

H. c.

Amazing place I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of hiring the place

L. H.

Amazing cocktails with 241 offers at happy hour - all the better! Downside is slow and average customer service, staff are more interested in showing off making cocktails than service customers quicker...

A. W.

Went on Sunday for happy hour. Unfortunately we couldn't really taste the alcohol which makes me think they slightly water it down for happy hour. Flavours were good though and staff was very friendly.

J. U.

Great bar, nice ambience. (Keep in mind no snacks/food served)

P. M.

Great cocktails and lots of fun. Very noisy so don't go there if you want a quiet drink but highly recommended!

Y. O.

Very cozy lounge bar with a variety of different martini. Not intense as it might be but chili and espresso martini good enough.

m. d.

Great service as usual. I go there often, the WiFi is spot on, the prices it is what it is, much better than Islington Townhouse. The cocktails are amazing but I stick to wine.

M. R.

We went when it was 2 for 1 martini's and they even had a vegan chocolate martini. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. Careful though they espresso martini has a special kick.

B. K.

If you're out in Angel, do not miss this perfect bar! You'd be remiss to write it off as a standard drinking hole. Experienced and knowledgeable staff will bring you delight and cocktails.

B. G.

Just finished a great nights with Neek & G [not sure that’s their names but lovely Italian cousins] they really made our night with great suggestions and smiles. 29 drinks later & we’re still happy!

A. L.

Great atmosphere, great location and amazing cocktails! friendly staff, Just love this place. will Defently come here again! Thanks guys.

J. M.

Used to like it... but service can be slow. And recently we asked if we could sit in one area, they said yes... as the reservation was for 30 mins before... they lost their table... we sat and the people that reserved appeared and we had to leave. It was embarassing and disorganised... not good.

h. a.

Visited during happy hour. £5 cocktails... service was good, the drinks were as you'd expect for £5 - OK.

O. L.

Andreas was our server - very attentive, great hair and would definitely come again!

S. P.

Nice cocktail and friendly staff!

S. S.

Nice place, good music! The cocktails are really tasty and well presented but could do with more alcohol in them.

b. c. s.

C. W.

N. O.

D. K.

Very quiet on a Sunday and they do a happy hour which was great! Very varied menu wirh lots of choice. Great ambience

T. M.

Dirtiest glasses in London

F. T.

Prices are too high at this bar, the place itself is quite small and intimate which is nice and the atmosphere is also quite enjoyable but the prices far outweigh this aspect because they are simply way too expensive to get past it.

J. I.

The go to place for cocktails in Islington! Good atmosphere on a Friday / Saturday night. Cocktails aren't ridiculously expensive ..

M. M.

LOUD. Closes way too early for how loud it is. You can't hear yourself talking, it's not exactly the place to sit down and relax with a nice cocktail and some sweet sweet ambiance.

i. b.

Very nice place to go out with friends, good cocktail selection with plenty of place to sit with small dance floor

S. w.

Really good, they even provide WiFi because reception is bad

J. J.

Chocolate Martin is to die for especially during their Happy Hour. Good spot before the cinema, theatre or dinner.

T. H.

Cheap and cheerful, the cocktails are a mixed bag and the decor is 'primarni' but for the price you're getting a good deal.

C. I.

Good value for money, excellent quality, big variety of impressive cocktails, a bit slow service
