“ I went to this pub with my friends. We all had free drinks (strawberry blonde) via the Dusk app and then different cocktails, and it was all good. Staff was friendly, the atmosphere was really good and colourful. Although it is a small place, the vibe somehow makes you feel like you're in a club, but you can easily have a chat with who is next to you also. I like the small, hidden local places in the King's Cross area, and this place is one of them. ”

“ Jao was incredible. The cocktails were delicious and honestly never had such a good experience! Thank you jao ”
“ Loved this place, great atmosphere and love the retro school desks as tables downstairs. Happy hour is fantastic and the cocktail teapots and teacups are a cute concept. Second time here when staying in London befire heading out on the Eurostar and it won't be our last! ”
“ Great place for drinks at great prices, especially during happy hour, which runs at some peak times as well (4-9pm Sunday to Friday)! Chose the Long Island Iced Tea in glasses and a teapot. A great touch! Very cool vibey place, with retro games on the basement floor. Only a 5 minute walk from King's Cross station. Not a place to go to for food though! ”
“ Espresso Martinis 11/10. Need that skull disco ball in my life ”
“ Favourite Simmons of all time ! Patrick is the best here and always makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend this location ”
“ We are from the Caribbean. This pub was great. I really enjoyed the layout...we went down into the basement to sit and loved the narrow stairs and the super NES at lower level. Great experience at this pub. We went for happy hour so we knocked back the Expresso Martinis and the Spicy Magaritas ! Great drinks, decent prices, and lovely atmosphere. ”

During this time, you can indulge in an enticing 2-for-1 cocktail offer that includes crowd favorites like the Sex With A Lad—a playful mix of Smirnoff Vodka, Peach Schnapps, cranberry juice, and orange juice—and the ever-popular Espresso Martini, crafted from Ketel One Vodka and Kahlua Coffee Liqueur.

The ambiance at Simmons Bar is nothing short of electric. While it may be reminiscent of a cozy pub, the vibe cheerfully leans more towards a lively club scene, allowing for both animated conversations and shared laughter among friends. Dilek Ozlem ATAONDER, one happy visitor, perfectly captures this sentiment, highlighting the colorful atmosphere and engaging staff. It's a small space that makes you feel right at home while keeping the energy high.
