Shepherds Bar

A cool bar based in Shepherd’s Studios, a building full of (usually media) offices near the West 12 shopping centre. It’s open from the early morning to serve breakfast, then has a range of lunch dishes. All drinks are available throughout the day, well into the night.
The management throw some good promotional nights to attract the punters. There was once a quiz night, and recently a comedy night, which was hilarious!
Friday nights should probably be avoided as it gets just too busy and claustrophobic. The drinks are pretty expensive (£8 for a cocktail), but it’s a nice place to hang out in as there’s a relaxed atmosphere plus loads of cosy brown leather sofas to sink in to.
Not a bad place to bring a casual date if you’re happy to have a natter/​play a game of pool.
