Impeccable Service and Vibrant Ambiance Await!

Stepping into All Bar One Holborn is like sliding into a convivial hub where charm and cheer flow just as freely as the cocktails. This vibrant locale offers more than just a meal; it’s an experience elevated by the polished service of standout staff members like Jaan, Kieran, Aneta, and Chloe. Each imbues their brand of warmth and panache, tending effortlessly to guests’ tables, creating personalized cocktails on request, and even sharing engaging repartees—how often do you chat cocktails and contemporary London with your bartender before he serves a mean mai tai or hands you a plate of whales-on-tiny-waves calamari? These four are the avatars of hospitality, appeared to foresee and fulfill every whim almost before it’s desired—the definition of excellent service.

The rhythm of the evening grooves to a buzz emanating from quick chatter and the DJ's curated tracks, ensuring everyone shakes more than salt at their tables. Once you pass through those lively doors, expect to enjoy delicacies like the notably delightful chicken bacon avocado salad, which juxtaposes lush greens against juicy proteins so elegantly plated, they - momentarily – look too pretty to eat. As for drinks, the bottomless brunch offering proved to be a crowd-pleaser, pleasing enough that weekend mornings here could become ritualistic. Their banana mai tai transports one straight to tropical shores—a cunning concoction according to another reviewer—and the "pink drink" remains enchanting yet elusive, much like All Bar One’s ability to capture not just your palate but your entire mood.óveis perfect harmony. — Clarissa Cuisinier
