Sway, Covent Garden, London

We went here for a work do.. It was a great place to enjoy the company of colleges and friends alike ..

I’ve spent a couple of evenings after work at Sway and have never left disappointed. We ate upstairs and had a couple of drinks and then had a table booked downstairs in the bar where we spent the evening. It was absolutely packed! After 9pm every time you went to the bar you would spend at least 20 minutes waiting to be served and another 10 minutes pushing through the crowds!

I would go again but only with a table booked - too crowded for me!

Very nice bar located in the heart of Covent garden which like the majority of bars, also possess a restaurant. The food available is modern British, there are three very different and trendy bars within the venue and a club night at least twice a week.
Last time I went, i had the fish finger sandwich with salad and chips. Was all very nice but the fish fingers a little over done, other than that no complaints. Everyone else in my party very please with their food (bacon burger, bbq chicken and pasta arabiata) . The cocktails were lovely and very reasonably priced in happy hour (not too bad outside of happy hour either). Food was great value and Sway was popular so had a great atmosphere. Staff were helpful and prompt.
It is always nice to work into one of these trendy bars and be able to order a nice pint of draught beer, as I am not really into bottles…. I love Becks Vier, but this can be difficult to find!

A nice spot if you around the area looking for a few drinks. I didn’t get to visit the restaurant just the club downstairs, which didn’t have a queue which was a surprise. After paying a whopping £10 each to get in we headed straight to the bar. The club has 3 rooms, all playing different genres of club music. There was a good mix of people and it had a good atmosphere. It got really hot in there and because one of the rooms had a carpeted dance area, it got a bit smelly too! The prices for drinks where what I expected in central London and the bar staff where OK. I did enjoy it but maybe that’s because I wasn’t expecting much!

Went here for a schmoozy lunch the other day having only been for cocktails before, and have to say I was very impressed. For such a nice place in such a handy location, the lunch menu is really cheap and they do a fishfinger sandwich almost as well as I do at home (it’s all in the smushing down, if you must know).

Not a lot on offer for vegetarians, I noticed, and the service can be a bit hit and miss at busy times (they rushed us to get the bill then took ages to come and collect it) but if you’re out and about in this part of town and need somewhere to stop and grab a bite that’s not full of tourists or families, I’d definitely recommend Sway.

Cocktails are brilliant, by the way. Make sure to try Happy Hour one evening!

Sway, old CC Club. This club reminded me alot of Paper in Picadilly. A nice club, looks very posh from the outside considering the very long q. Sway didn’t reach my expectations. It wasnt as clean as I expected it to be, the ladiesroom was not clean at all, a very dirty area. It was extremely hot in Sway so I do not recommend alot of clothes.
I loved the cowd at Sway, there was a nice mix of bohemic chick, posh footballers wife and ghetto bitch. It is a nice club and hence the prices, however I could pay a bit more for the drinks…lets not give the clubowners no ideas lol:).

Pro’s: Amazing crowd, good prices, hype songs all night and a great DJ.

Con’s: Not clean, long q and very hot.

great cocktails especially in happy hour! There is good food and a funky dance floor on the ground floor. This is a good place for after work drinks or naughty lunch times

This place is great on a friday night after work. There is a quietish restaurant upstairs and a bar and a club downstairs so you can start off with a few relaxing drinks before getting in to the swing of it downstairs. It’s busy but there isn’t usually a queue, which makes it a great place to kick off the weekend! The staff are friendly and there is a good vibe to the restaurant and the bar. The club has a good dj and two bars so you never have to wait long for a drink.
