Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sloe Bar
Formerly the Reef Cafe Bar (and probably a dozen different names before that), this place could be a lot better because the balcony - when open - offers a rather impressive view over the station concourse. The serving area runs almost the whole length of the bar so there would be opportunity to serve a large number of customers quite quickly, if only they staffed it properly... As a Select Service Partner outlet, you get the usual "Would you like a packet of crisps or nuts with that?" nonsense, but if you have a BITE card you can at least get 20% of the price of your drinks (e.g. Pride at £2.80 rather than £3.50). One for thirsty travellers who don't have the time to nip outside to find somewhere better.

Large first floor bar on Waterloo station, actually not unpleasant. The balcony overlooking the station is quite amusing.
