Ku De Ta

This place was awful, i like nice bars with good cocktails and cool decor and i dont mind paying for it. but the service was so rude and unhelpful.The drinks were boring and very badly made. (does noone train barmen anymore?!!) I wouldnt go here again ever, Frankly there are better bars in walking distance of this one that are great so dont bother with this one. it leaves you feeling violated.

Considering that we live in the second most expensive city in the world, I really dont mind paying £10 a cocktail if the extras go with it, but it has to be a great place,with well designed and made cocktails, friendly and efficient service. This bar has very few of these things, i have been there twice, the first i was in the club downstair (VIP) where they accidentally doubled my bill to be over £800 and then argued me to correct it. the second time i was in the bar upstairs, the barmen were dull and uninterested in serving us, i had to wave for attention, the drinks were presented without coasters on a smeary glass bar. they pointed to a machine and vaguely grunted to indicate there was a cigarette machine in the room upon being asked. the change was just dropped onto the bar as the barman walked off to return to his gossiping colleague. and to top it off they added 12.5% SERVICE CHARGE!!! which is fine in a smart place when you have great table service but frankly i was outraged. I wouldnt recommend this place if you begged me, its only redeeming feature is its decor and that will be rough in 6 months time. If you want to go to a fabulous bar, go to DUSK bar in battersea, great decor, great drinks , great service and very good prices!!

I actually really like Ku De Ta. The decor and ambience is sophisticated and slightly upmarket. There are little cushioned booths lining the walls which are perfect for a little privacy and perhaps a little snuggling? They also add to the luxurious trendy London ambience. So if you're bringing a girl here on a date, she would certainly be impressed. On Wednesday nights, they play some really good R&B and if you get there early there's no cover charge either. The cocktails are pricey though, and average out to about £8.95 each. If you're paying by card there is a minimum £10 spend, not a problem if you're ordering cocktails though ;o) All in all, there's a really good feel to Ku De Ta especially if you feel like pampering yourself or someone else...

Went there on sat nite and it was half full. Entrance was £20 and so not worth it plus the drinks were stupidly expensive. Wouldnt go back.
