Review of Monkey Face

The Only Empty Pub in London? 2*

Came here straight from Bald Faced Stag (packed) three minutes down the road to this place to find it completely empty. While the white minimalist interior may work when packed, when completely empty, it only helped to accentuate the emptiness of the place. In five years in London, I can't actually recall ever going to a bar on a Saturday night that is completely empty.

Emptiness aside, the staff were happy for us to stay, and what could have turned into a major negative (no atmosphere) turned in to a positive as it meant we had the place to ourselves and the bar staff were happy to play our music requests and do table service. I'm sure this must have been a freak quiet night.
