Zebrano

This the first time I had to leave a restaurant before getting the meal. We waited 45 minutes for our lunch appetizers, but the waiter kept saying they’re busy and not «fast food». Two of our appetizers were veggies and humus. Then I noticed other patrons getting really agitated.
The waiter finally came back and told us they are just prepping our food for cooking and it would be another 20 minutes at least. No one was apparently
In the kitchen during this lunch period. The waiter was apologetic, but we had to leave, as did the tables around us.
If you’re in a hurry, be aware this can happen here.

This place gets busy and it’s loud (it also seems to be more of a Friday night party scene almost all nights) but the cocktails are good. I had the Cosmo and Pornstar Martini — both tasty. I especially like that the side of Prosecco with the Pornstar Martini is served in the glass.
They do an excellent happy hour — whoop whoop. If you are looking for a club atmosphere (with good music) or some happy hour cocktails, this is the place to go.

Zebrano does happy hour and everything go half. They did very decent porn star martini ! with a passion fruit floating there~~It was not too citrus, but it has a tint of sweet at the end of every sip~. The place also did a drinki promotion, when you checked in there, and you show the bartender the drinki app, you get a free cosmopolitan and that is what I did as well. So within that happy hour, I had a free drink and a half price awesome porn star martini. Can I have a «What What»! =p

Not a bad bar. Good value at happy hour (BOGOF until 8pm on most week nights), with an extensive cocktail menu. Cocktails were delicious — nice and fruity however service was very slow considering there was only a few of us in a massive bar. Recommend «Deep Passion». The ambiance was some what lacking however it was early on in the evening. If in the area I will be back to take advantage of the cheap cocktails but I wouldn’t look to go back for a night out!

While touring London, a promoter was handing out cards for discounted drinks at Zebrano. Usually these gimmicks turn me away from a place, but we ended up trying it out. The vibe on a Friday night was a lot of fun. Great dj, packed dance floor, even some dance-​offs occurring.

Stopped in for a cocktail on a Saturday evening around 9pm. I got the honey Lynchburg which was really good. My gf got a Mojoito which was A LOT of ice and not much drink. The environment seemed very cool, not many places to sit if you didn’t have table service I think. A clubish kind of scene but could be a fun spot.

Ahhhhh it’s alrightttttttttt lol. Their cosmopolitans are nice but the place makes me feel trapped in a dark sex dungeon … It needs more light I think

Le plus mauvais hamburger de toute ma vie ! La viande était une mixture indéfinissable et réchauffée…

Happy hour till 9pm Mon-​Fri. DJ and dancing till 1am. Perfect hangout after work; or for a particularly messy birthday celebration! Had a great time. Also the toilet lady is hilarious!

Some birthday drinks were relocated here after the first place was double booked, we ended up here on the Carnaby Street Style Night and the area was heaving with people. We quickly grabbed a table and then as other tables left, grabbed them and slowly added them to ours, which filled up as more of our group arrived.
A couple of us had burgers which were filling, but not fantastic. Happy hour was decent but you had to go downstairs if you wanted anything more complicated than a whiskey coke (more a problem for the girls). All in all, if you’re in the area and you need a drink, it’s one of several in the area, not better or worse than the others, but they have a fair amount of seating and their happy hour goes on for quite a while.

Came her on the Drinki app which meant that I received a free Cosmopolitan — good start. The staff were cheery and helpful and put in proper effort to make my drink even though it was of no profit to them. We stayed for another at full price as they were made so well — right down to the flaming orange peel. Only let down was all drinks were served in plastic glasses. Good selection of cocktails and happy hour runs until 8pm with food available.

My friend and I were looking for a place to get some early dinner before a show at the Palladium Theatre and we ended up here because it looked appealing and the menu was decently priced for central London.
I don’t know if it was an off day, but the service was terrible. The main issue was that only one server was waiting on all of the tables. There seemed to be other staff around, but they were too busy chatting and doing nothing. The one server wasn’t the best either. When we arrived, the server physically pushed my friend out of her way because he had a full tray instead of being polite and saying «excuse me». After we were seated she proceeded to forget to bring us our drinks twice. I ordered a burger that took way too long considering they weren’t very busy and my sweet potato fries were cold when they arrived. After we ate, it took so long to get any of the staff’s attention to get the bill. They were much too busy chatting. I’m pretty sure we could have walked right out of the restaurant without paying and they would have been none the wiser.
The icing on this terrible cake was that a service charge was included in the bill. I almost had them take it off, but it wasn’t enough money to make such a big deal.
Long story short, this place has terrible service and mediocre food. I won’t be back.

Wow, the bartenders are very warm and kind! The female bartenders are also pretty and cute! The DJ is so hot, he plays the songs hit by hit! For me that’s amazing! The price is ok I think. Beer is around 4 and all cocktails and vodka are 8.5

We wandered into this place because it looked to have a decent menu and there were plenty of people milling around. The food was well prepared and served quickly. The mashed potatoes with my sea bream were wonderfully tasteful — loaded with butter.
I’d keep looking next time around

Oh my goodness, it’s free pour here and I just about remember how I got home.
That said, you are paying for the free pour, it’s about £7 for a mixed drink. The music was pretty varied, from top 40’s to 80’s classics. We had a good laugh in the bar, although it did seem like a bit of a meat market otherwise. Toilets were clean and the bar staff were friendly. Not a bad bar in the Oxford Circus area.

I came here because I enjoyed the Greek Street location so much, and thought, «Hey! It’s the same company, it’ll be nice!» and invited a few friends to go hang out and have dinner.
This location is much smaller, and they tried to cram as many tables and people on the main floor as possible.
We were sat near the steps of the bar, so we felt like we were in the way as there was a lot of traffic going by our table and many time interrupted our table.
Food was pretty good, almost as consistent as the other location.
When it came to paying, I showed my Gourmet Society card, and they only gave me 10% off the food bill, but wait, GS only offers 50%, 25% or 2 for 1. 10% is not any of the those things, they were reluctant giving me what was listed in the Gourmet Society website, but they did it anyway.
I think this location has potential, especially because they have a patio area, something the other location does not have.

Bartenders are awesome and the DJ on Friday nights plays the best music!!!

this is a pretty decent bar. I came here early last night with a date, it was pretty dead being a week day and rather early. But I have been here on a friday years ago when it was packed full of peanuts.
One note that makes this place great: Awesome happy hour prices! selected beers and coctails half off. Way!!!
The only thing is last night they closed down the bogs and made everyone go to the bar next door which was a hell of a walk just to go to the loo! And they were quit rude about it. That was my que to leave!
Great prices tho! but only during happy hour!

I came here on a Thursday evening for an after-​work happy hour with co-​workers. Being used to American happy hours at pretty standard pubs, this was definitely a different vibe, but it was fun overall.
First, we went downstairs to where we’d booked a table. There were 11 of us, so we got their Thursday night deal, which is this: Book a table of 10 or more people and receive a free round of appetizers, 5 beers, a bottle of champagne, and a round of shots for FREE. There was really no catch, which shocked us all. The shots were pretty much just fruit juice, but everything else was legit.
The vibe was very clubby, which is fine, except felt weird for a Thursday at 7pm. You can lose track of time very easily there. My group ended up buying a few bottles and spending the majority of our night there; we had our own little corner booth with a table and seats for everyone, so it was like our own party.
The music was typical, top 40-​type stuff, although the DJ wasn’t too keen on taking requests (refusing to play any hip-​hop that may have the N-​word in it… I assume he’d have censored versions, no?!).
Anyway, I wouldn’t go here on my own with friends, just because it was not really my scene, but it was definitely a good time for an after-​work happy hour-​turned-​night-​out.

While in London my cousin and I came across Carnaby Street. We thought it was really cute so decided to find a place to have a nice lunch in. We came across Zebrano because there was a guy outside giving out flyers with some awesome deals. 2 courses plus a glass of wine or beer for i think…10 pounds and then 3 courses for a bit more.
Since it was chilly and we were starving we decided to go in and check it out. There weren’t many people there but it was a weekday and before 5pm. Our waiter was very attentive and I don’t remember waiting long for our food. I had a goat cheese salad that was pretty much to die for and my burger was perfection.
I heard so many horror stories about food in London. I’m glad I didn’t have to experience it at!

This is such a common, blah, run-​of-​the-​mill, nothing sort of bar that it’s hard to believe my sister and I even ended up here one drizzly Friday night. It was one of those situations where we’d been out all day running around London, found ourselves in Soho and wanted to extend our night with a drink, but really didn’t feel spiffy enough to head to any of our preferred nightspots — nor did we want to settle for the typical pub either. Hence, *Zebrano* — whatever that means…
It’s always a wonder to me how places like this stay in business, let alone continue to attract droves of customer, but the bar was buzzing enough for us to take it as a semi-​good sign and we decided to have a go. Inside we found an uninspiring bar, a cocktail list of drinks that sounded suspiciously weak and sugary, and grimy black tables — but plenty of people! After ordering a couple of vodka tonics (playing it safe) we decided that the real action was definitely outside and went back out in search of a table and a heat lamp.
And it was there that we learned what the Zebrano scene is all about… men stared (ludicrously), but didn’t approach, some girl was doing her darndest to impress a bloke with a childhood tap-​dance routine, and every time a bit of pickup conversation drifted our way it was just pathetically inane — entertaining — but inane… ummm… *why* am I here again?
Seriously, even if you’re feeling a bit shabby, but still crave a bar scene, there *must* be a better option somewhere in Soho than this… (I’ll let you know when I find it).
