What an amazing Friday night we had in this place! We've been once before and it was inviting enough that we just had to come back for dinner but this time we had the pleasure of meeting an incredible member of staff named Viera who completely blew us away. Genuine friendly service, constant laughter in her presence and you could tell she knew what she was talking about. Simply amazing. We will be back for sure.
Were do you start here ? Capital Chaos with a Capital C ! Bodies , beer and bruises (with the amount of times i was bumped into) all over the show . However saying all this the : Ambience , Aroma , Character and Service are different gravy - I was highly , highly impressed . Free drinks , a good laugh and tip top totty put a grin on my face . If In London make this place your getaway vehicle for the evening . Cheers .
Went to the Driver for lunch on Tuesday 11th August at around 1 O'Clock and the pub was packed full of diners. I was seated after 8 minutes of arriving and given a comprehensive 'Gastro' style menu. I ordered cod and chips and my partner had the burger. Both were of great quality as was the attentive service. Strongly advise to book in advance though to avoid disappointment.
Visited The Driver for the first time this evening. All the staff were super friendly and very accommodating as I'd brought my puppy along and they managed to find us a place to sit. I'll be back!
Nice bar serving good food and drink, we found this on our way to the Emirates after the tube was evacuated and we decided to walk.
Lovely food, lovely place, great service and the little dog is cute �
Last night I played at the Driver in Kings Cross 3rd floor. I have played in many private hire function places and I have to say this place is REALLY GOOD value for money. They have a late licence till 2am Thurs & Fri & 3am on Sat. The drinks are cheap. It looks good (not high end) the sound system is fantastic, they have CDJs or Technics & Pioneer mixers for your DJ to play on. The place is centrally located and they have three rooms on three floors like this one pictured and a gastropub ground floor - for a meal before your drinking sessh. I'd highly recommend this place for people who are looking for rooms for parties (where the bars and clubs are asking silly minimum spends). Best private hire sound system I've played on in along time (loud, clear and bass heavy too - even though you can't see the subs). Remember... it's cheap so you can pay your DJ MORE! ;)
I have been scouting for a venue for my bday party and Gemma has been really nice to show me all the options both times I went, we also stayed for dinner, we had scallops with butternut squash puree, chorizo, halloumi avocado salad and sharing plate with falafel, courgette and halloumi sqewers, I also had 2 raspberry collins cocktail and we were very happy with quality and taste of the food. I think I will book one the rooms for my party!
I had my celebration fundraiser here and I absoloutly loved the venue! (second floor) Event manager, Alice and all staff were amazing and very attentive. Great food, drinks and ambiance! I highly recommend, a great venue, especially for an event! ��
I had my 40th birthday party at the Driver and it was brilliant. The food was fantastic, all the staff were very helpful and helped make the evening run smoothly. If you plan to have an event then I highly recommend The Driver!!!
Had a great meal for the second time in two weeks. Staff very attentive and lovely environment
Great venue. Great food and great service for our large group of over 50 people. Roof terrace was a lovely space. Would definitely recommend and go back.
top notch place x
Work 'do' on 1st Floor! Good venue, looked great on ground floor too as we came in and friendly staff! Would like to try again to sample menu!
Lovely cosy friendly place, great wine, great sharing platters, great staff 😀
Very expensive, but it is London. For some reason it closes early in the evenings. The roof terrace is pleasant, but you need to climb many flights of stairs to get to it, so if your knees are not up to it stay downstairs.
The place was nice but burguer was super dry and not very nice and the food and drinks expensive.
NYe party supposed to finish at 4am. Police came and shut the place down at 2 am because something "really bad" happened on 3rd floor. People having their coats in that room cannot take them and they want us to go to the street and wait (don't know for how long). Please, we want out money back and of course our coats in order to go home.
Just spoke to one of your event representatives about an event that I am planning and she told me I can't book any space because I am only becoming 28 and the minimum age for bookings is 30. LOL? I am making more money than the average 30 year old if this helps?
