Stopped in for a drink with my husband near closing time. The bartender seemed disappointed to see us. We asked for a martini, he said he didn’t know what that was. We said ok, how about just a squeeze of lime. Nope. Gentlemen Jack? He didn’t know what that was either, till my husband pointed it out on his shelf. We asked for a sprite. No. Ginger ale? No. My husband finally said it’s very obvious you don’t want to serve us. So we left. Will never go back.

I have regularly used the CheckMate Bar over the last seven years to meet with groups of friends when I visit London. The venue is great, and generally the service is excellent. On my most recent visit (02/09/2022 - for my birthday) the experience was spoiled by the service. The Guinness was flat (and end of barrel) so we returned it undrunk to the bar. The young woman refused to replace the drinks, telling us we would have to buy again. She was unnecessarily rude to me, and then refused us table service, though did it for others in the bar. She complained she was on her own with no help. Over the space of three hours we put around £80 across the bar, the most revenue the place was earning that evening. So, I will return - but I trust that some kind of Customer Service training will be given meantime. If an individual does not want to put out for customers they should not be in a customer-facing role. I did speak to a manager at the time (Orlando) and the Receptionist for the adjoined Hotel; they were sympathetic and concerned, but said they had no direct jurisdiction over the bar staffing. I trust somebody in the organization does. On this occasion 2-stars. Normally 5. *** So, I returned, exactly one year later with three friends - 02/09/23. Remarkably, the female member of the staff running bar service this time around was equally lacking in charm, politeness, and customer service. What is it with the Checkmate bar that customer-facing staff are so lacking in warmth? Ambience 5 - great venue to meet. Staff/Customer Service 1 - competent but charmless and rude. Price per person: £10–20 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
