Oriel Bar & Bistro in Youghal

Food is just delicious (small portions), and the chickpeas chips are divine! So good! Staff is very welcoming and they really take care of you. Music was great, and the ambience is delightful (everything curated to the details apart from the stage where they perform - a bit of a sad golden curtain. This is me being a perfectionist but part of my job). Lovely experience and perfect for a date (however music can be relatively loud so might not be the right place for the very first date if you want to get to know each other). If you are vegan, they only have vegan desserts but can adapt recepies by removing ingredients (which is slightly annoying as we often end up paying the same for less, somehow)

I personally did not enjoy this place as much as some other cocktail bars in London. The atmosphere is created nicely in African / Latin American style. The cocktails were good but not all of them. Acadia and Route Napoleon were both great. Cities of the plan was too strong to me although I love mezcal-based cocktails. Rio verde was just good but I would not order it in a cocktails bar. The food overall was underwhelming. Tar tare could have been good if not that salty. Charred octopus was just okay. Pork katsu Sando was good and the pork was reasonably tender but again nothing special. There was a band playing music and closer to the end of the evening they started to call people on stage, have a train running around the bar etc - so the atmosphere was definitely different from your average cocktail bar and while a lot of visitors enjoyed it, I would be looking for something else. The service was not the level I’d expect. I ordered a cocktail and in addition to it just not being available, I only learnt about it 15 minutes after my order

Warm Hospitality in the Heart of London I had booked a table online at Oriole for a Saturday afternoon, and I was absolutely delighted with the experience. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing — just what I needed for a weekend treat. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. But what stood out the most was the service. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help. They made me feel welcome and truly cared for, turning a regular afternoon into something memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food, top service, and a beautiful vibe in central London. I'll definitely be coming back!

Delicious drink and atmosphere. Really enjoyed the live music. Really chill vibe. Felt like we could engage in the music but also sit back and enjoy our conversation. Attentive staff with great recommendations! Would recommend.

The only reason that I'm giving the Oriole 5 stars is because I can't give them 6. Sam and Marco are so incredibly personable, friendly and down-to-Earth. The cocktails are spectacular. Nothing else needs to be said here. I can't wait to visit again!

Honestly, what a great night. We upgraded to the premium package for the food and show but our night was completely made by Leonardo. He is so attentive and friendly. He completely embodied his role and then some. I can’t sing his praises enough. The good here was superb and the cocktails are light whilst packing a punch. Highly recommend.

Top 3 meal I have had in my lifetime. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Host was so friendly and helpful and the live music was amazing!!!!!

Jacob, Sammy,Adrian Thank you so much guys! Absolute pleasure to try your cocktail menus ! The atmosphere is incredible, later on we shall listen to some live music as well! The team is brilliant, from upstairs all the way to the bar, you will be in good hands trust me! Everyone mentioned above made my stay very special, thank you. Definitely coming back!
