Extremely fun place! Amazing music and great fun deco with interesting quotes:) a long list of shots! My favourites were the fly me to the moon and the king of Denmark. The garlic chocolate ice cream is delicious! Great potatoes and garlic and super friendly atmosphere

I’ve been meaning to come here for the last twenty years and happened to find a reason recently. I love garlic so I was always going to be happy. Decor is a bit grubby, service is a bit forgetful, cutlery was missing, food is good for the price. The shots are good. Vodka garlic tomato juice chilli is particularly special. I ordered a garlic beer expecting some garlic infusion... it’s just a Stella with a crushed clove dumped in it. It made us laugh but tasted foul even to me. It could be better, but it’s great value for garlic fans in a good location so overall five stars from me.

They’ve got an awesome selection of shots to try, and my top pick has to be the Blood Shot—it’s super tasty with a nice kick to it! There’s seating inside, outside, and even downstairs. While you can’t get food in the downstairs area, you’ve got to try having some shots in the crypt—it’s a cool experience. The vibe overall was really good, and the music upstairs wasn’t too loud, so we could actually chat without shouting. The garlic bread was soft and amazing, but the potato skins? Absolutely perfect!

An amazing tugged away place with 101 different types of garlic shots and even got garlic beer. Took us a little while to find it even though some of us been here before. You must try their blood shot, it's amazing and sends through a shock to your system (in a good way). But getter go down with a bottle of beer after that shot as the taste stays in your mouth for a while. Despite the barman's warning, we got a garlic beer. It was not spectacular but got very interesting texture to it but it was indeed a bit much after our garlic shots. Staffs are friendly and it has a nice grunge vibe in their basement bar.

This is probably my favourite place in London. My wife and I had our second date here and I sort of knew she was 'the one' when she ordered the garlic ribs and got stuck right in. The staff are great here irrespective of your general sensibilities; whether you're straight, gay, goth, rocker etc. Great place, tasty bold food with generous portions, atmosphere to die for.

Wow is about the only thing I can say. If you like garlic, there is no question that this is five stars, if not more! The garlic pops were amazing, the garlic beer was tasty and the burger was spot on. The garlic fries and aioli were awesome as well. This is definitely worth a visit, it looks unassuming but the food is ridiculously good!

An awesome place - I shouldn't be telling you that there's actually a back garden... for a bar in Soho! Add in cool alt vibes and friendly staff and you have a good spot. A colleague gut a garlic shot as a joke and it was absolutely disgusting but I'm not going to dock them a star if that's their thing.
