Strongers . left this review about All Bar One

This All Bar One is in a large and square high-ceilinged open plan venue with a heavily scuffed wooden floor and a long serving counter up the right that faces a row of high tables before open plan standard seating in the left where a single mirrored supporting column sits in the centre. The service from the young barmaid was very friendly and there was some upbeat background music playing, but there was only me and one other customer in on a recent Thursday afternoon. Premium keg was available alongside Neck Oil, Camden Hells and Jubel. Out the front is seating under four jumbrellas that were being beaten by the wind. I’m not a fan of the ABO chain so I’ll not be returning.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about All Bar One

Usual anonymous modern bar / restaurant deal, albeit in a double-height space with poor acoustics. Equally dull draught beer selection, with Today's Haze from Goose Island (£3.05, half) being about the best on offer.

Blackthorn _ left this review about All Bar One

A modern, purpose built pub adjacent to a Lloyd’s No. 1 outlet, this has the usual identikit feel of many of the companies pubs and there is All Bar One branding everywhere you look from the patio umbrellas to the windows to the clock and even the doormat.

Inside it’s a single, high ceiling room having a slightly industrial feel with all the air conditioning ducting on display. Windows take up the entire front wall and this offers an excellent view over to the office blocks opposite. The usual shelves of wine bottles are arranged as a backdrop to the bar with a couple of ladders at each end for reaching the higher ones. Decor wise the paintwork is mostly an inoffensive, pale creamy brown although the left hand wall is painted in a contrasting dark green and contains a wide selection of cog wheels arranged in to some artwork. There is a small patio area with a few tables and chairs at the front of the pub.

Flooring is pine strip work and this theme extends to the wood clad bar. Although probably geared towards the food side of things, there are a number of high tables and chairs at the bar end of the pub where you’d presumably be welcome to sit and have a pint. Food wise, the menu looked reasonably extensive and was divided in to section such as tapas, sharing, burgers, “in a bowl” and classics. The latter consisted of pub staples such as Fish & Chips, Gammon & Egg, Sausage & Mash, etc., with most of the mains being priced around the £8 - £9 mark. A chalk board offered a small selection of deserts and I thought the Banoffee Trifle sounded appealing.

Beer choice was very disappointing with just keg London Pride and the solitary cider was Aspall’s Suffolk.
