Reviews
Have decided to review Upstairs at Rules as it's approximately 20 years since I first started frequenting the venue. In that time little has changed and this is key to both its success and its attraction. One very welcome addition; Brian Silva, has brought elegant and reliably excellent cocktails to the bar... stirred and never shaken. By some distance the best martinis curated in London, and by far the most pleasant environment in which a gentleman would wish to enjoy them.
The decor and location are fantastic. The staff are friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the drinks left me wanting more. My Bloody Mary was quite average and lacked depth. My partner’s drink well just sweet and was reminiscent of a toilet air freshener. The cost just doesn’t match the quality. Overpriced.
Went here on a Saturday night, waiters are very personable and the cocktails were very incredible. We were a bit more on the smart casual than dressy attire, staff treated us very well. Very attentive and personable staff, felt welcomed and in good hands. Great cocktails in an even better atmosphere, very much recommend!
A truly indulgent experience. The atmosphere was lovely, we chose to sit in the winter garden but the contemporary room was equally splendid. The service was excellent, as were the cocktails.
Chanced upon Upstairs at Rules on a frenzied afternoon in Covent Garden. Beautiful space, decor, service, atmosphere.... and yes, no music. With chairs and tables well spaced, makes for a gentle hum of conversation as the background sound, reminiscent, as many have said, of an exclusive members club. You'll spend a little more than pubs / clubs in the area, but oh so worth it for the mongrammed-cotton-coaster experience.
Whoever chose the chairs at this place did not take comfort very seriously. Also, having a cocktail with someone sitting across the table from you feels more like a business meeting than a cocktail. Clue: make sure the chairs can be closer together when people come in with someone. Or put more small couches so they can sit on a couch. The cocktails are so-so. For £18 they should really be a lot better. Service is good. Having said that, on the balance of things, we likely won’t be back.
What a wonderful find! The cocktails were sublime and the garden is such a pleasure to sit in. We really didn't want to leave. The staff made us feel exceptionally welcome.
Great cocktails, the taste as described on the menu is so accurate. Fantastic service with warm relaxing ambience. We went after dinning and will go pre dinning next time just to swap about.
Good cocktails but absolutely infested with mice. Under every chair and couch and one even dropped out of a tree. At least they were cute.
As ever, a sheer delight being back here. Wonderful service, very attentive and friendly. Gorgeous cocktails, wonderful surroundings and a special place.
