Both Atomica Gallery and Freud are recommended for visiting. You will hardly forget delicious gin, Mojitos or tequila that you can enjoy. Based on the guests' opinions, waiters offer good espresso.
The warm atmosphere of this bar makes customers feel relaxed and have a nice time. Many people mention that the staff is attentive at Freud. Enjoyable service is something that visitors highlight in their comments. From the guests' point of view, prices are attractive.

Is this place even real? Doesn’t feel like central London!

If I could give a rating of 0/5 that still wouldn't be fair based on the terrible experience we had last week and this is a shame since we had been visiting Freud Bar regularly in the past. We had just ordered drinks from downstairs and went outside for a quick smoke with our drinks, where plenty of other customers were also gathered. A couple of minutes later, a member of the staff very politely told us to return our glasses downstairs once we had finished with our drinks. Not more than 10 minutes later, another member of staff (apparently the manager) very aggressively approached us, shouting that we should not take drinks outside. While he was shouting at us, he had already grabbed our drinks in a very hostile manner. Specifically, while grabbing my friend's drink he poured his hands onto her almost-full drink. In shock from this incident (especially during covid times), we said that even though we would happily go downstairs, we would not accept drinking from this glass again. He immediately threw the drink on the floor next to us and insisted that we should take the empty glass back inside ourselves to the bar.He shouted that he is the manager of the bar and what the other employee had told us didn’t matter. He then kept being aggressive saying that we should not be coming to his place if we are afraid of covid, while also questioning our vaccination status. He claimed that our argument about the dirty glass was invalid because as the manager he has already put his fingers in each glass before handing out drinks to the bar’s customers. While we went downstairs to just leave our drinks (and then leave!!) , the incident continued in two ways; First, the manager violated my friend's personal space, grabbing her from the arm and yelling. Second, while my friend was inside leaving the drinks, the manager cornered my friend and me shouting that we should never go upstairs and repeatedly yelling that we should not come if we were afraid of covid - Bear in mind that no mention of Covid occurred except when the manager literally poured his fingers and hands in my friend's drink. This was by far the worst experience i have ever had in a bar and with the staff of the bar. As i mentioned, it is a shame that Freud hires such aggressive staff as we used to regularly visit the place. Note, that had the manager told us in a polite way that we should not drink outside and that there was a miss-communication with the other member of staff who told us that it is ok to drink outside, we would have gone downstairs and continued with our night. We will obviously never go there again and nor will any member of our friends and extended group as we have been informed with what happened. Please do the same and avoid. Thankfully, there are tons of better bars in London
