"Bar Salsa is definitely going to become a favourite place of mine to visit on a regular basis. I discovered it two weekends ago whilst exploring Soho, Covent Garden and Leicester Square with a friend. We were keen to catch up and so wanted to find a bar to sit down and have a relaxing drink. We were attracted to Bar Salsa instantly due to its vibrancy and fairy lights (very girly I know but they really would look lovely in the evening too! We went into the bar which set alight your senses. You just don 't know where to look! It has chic furnishings and quirky murals/paintings on the walls which were so bright and vibrant! Being a creative pair we were became very intrigued by the venue and took a look around downstairs. Downstairs was the 'club/bar ' area very dim let with an array of lights (even disco lights on the dance floor featuring different levels of flooring. It was so exhilarating; we instantly wanted to return on another occasion especially after we discovered they offer salsa nights for minimal money. The thought of dancing away to the Spanish club music soon became too much for us and we decided to return later on with boyfriends in tow (of course they wanted to salsa who wouldn 't?! . We ordered a bottle of wine to share which was good value for money. They also informed us that it would soon be happy hour and all cocktails would be at least half price! We were definitely staying! We sat in the outside courtyard in the sun which was lovely. The ambiance was great with people chatting away, we didn 't even notice the big, busy main road next to us! Happy hour soon arose and we ordered two cocktails at the downstairs bar. These were delicious, some of the best cocktails we had ever had! If we hadn 't had to have left to meet my friend 's boyfriend we would have stayed in there all evening! We did return in the evening but unfortunately didn 't enter as entry price rises after 9:00pm. Although highly disappointed by this we will no doubt return! I rated the Salsa bar a 4.5, we had a delightful experience but we are yet to experience the club and salsa.I definitely recommend any upbeat, easy going person to visit especially if they love music, dancing and cocktails!"

"We had a really delicious meal and perfectly prepared cocktails at this nightspot that’s often overlooked by those who are more interested in dinner and drinks than concluding a late night out. Past 10pm there’s always a line, but from 7-9 it’s super easy to get a table and is just a nice place for an Asian fusion dinner. Drink prices can be stiff, but then again, so are the drinks. We were happy with our well prepared gin Martinis, not always the case in London, and avoided the exotic “Flaming Ferrari.” The items on the somewhat abbreviated food menu are really delicious and reasonablly priced for S Ken and Chelsea. The mains and sides are well prepared and simple dishes like the steamed whole fish are delicate and light. There is a small dim sum selection that we really enjoyed. The also a flash fried green beans are a signature dish. There is a really light (not oily and delicious version of Singapore noodles, but under a different name, listed as a side dish along with fried rice. If you like vermicelli rice noodles with curry seasoning, you might enjoy it. The proprietress Gwen is the young and charming daughter of one of the restaurants’s two founders and who inherited Nam Long. (Although the old and antique reviews bring down the overall rating, that’s a classic TA problem in my experience. Namely, 20 year old reviews that have nothing to do with the present even if they might have been fair then. I get that the occasional bad reviews will still happen when the inevitable unruly patron is turned away at midnight. But by that time we will be at home in bed after enjoying a delicious dinner in the earlier evening."
