Do not go here on New Year's Eve! We attended Bond Ball 2. It lacked the Bond theme in the basement and was badly organised. The cloakroom was a state which resulted in most people's coats being lost and having to wait 45 mins. As a result people started arguing and management were not helpful at all!

My girlfriends and i had a great time here, it was my 30th birthday party so its was a special occasion. i would recommend this place to anyone, even if it is just to see the tall dark and handsome man in a kilt at the door.........i liked him alot! x

Fantastic venue! You can have pre-dinner drinks, dinner and end up the night dancing!! It was fantastic value for money compare to all the crappy bars in the west end! They use really good quality ingredients and the staff very friendly and happy to chat withouth being intrusive. This place is highly recommmended for people celebrating with friends or for an event. I can't wait to come back.

Staff just so friendly, cocktails just so good, food scrummy!!! Personally want to thank everyone there for looking after me, partner and all our friends so well - attention to detail, attentive and fun all in one. Our party went like clockwork.

Just came back from Albannach and witnessed how security guy - some Eastern European, was insulting two tourists (well dressed and smart looking girls) just because they wanted to enjoy their drinks at the tables outside. It was disgusting. The girls looked really shocked. Lets avoid this place. I would not want my girlfriend to be treated that way... George.

I had to pay £100 deposit for a table after running The London Marathon. I was told that there would be food available and as long as I turned up the money would not be debited from my card. On arrival I met my friends and looked over the menu's (still on the table). When I went up to order I was told that food had 'finished'. I then proceeded to get out some jelly babies and a mars from my goodie bag and was told off rather aggressively by a waitress. The bar then stopped serving. A thoroughly disappointing visit. NOT RECOMMENDED and nothing like the website!!!!!

Would not recommend this place.



Group of 10 thirtysomethings of us went there for a birthday. One wasn't allowed in - dressed in shirt, trousers but they objected to him wearing flip flops. What utter toss. When the rest of us were spending over £700 you would have thought they could have been flexible!



Pushy manager - really irritating.



Veg main course rubbish.



Declined to serve us jugs of tap water.



Good waiting staff. Good ambience.



We actually had a great night, but despite the place.



I would never go there again - and judging by how few people were in Doon, the bar downstairs, other people think the same.

Albannach means Scotsman, or so I was told by the waitress when I was in the other day. A friend recommended the place (he's Scottish) and to be honest I was intrigued, if a little wary about a Scottish bar and restaurant. Tartan, bagpipes and Brigadoon sprang to mind so you can imagine my initial delight at finding it in no way stereotypical.



It's a Scottish bar and restaurant with a contempory twist, I was told by the young lady wearing a pinstriped kilt, who was extremely friendly, helpful and dare i say it, attractive.



The decor is trendy but in a classic understated way. The bar is well stocked (loads of whisky as you'd expect I guess), well manned and well long. It needs to be to hold all the whisky! I enjoyed an extremely Scottish pint of a French beer and then we headed up for dinner.



As I expected and dreaded, haggis was on the menu, knowing my friend would try and force it on me. I opted instead for some Buccleuch beef. It was delightful and accompanied by some rather nice wine. My haggis eating friend however did insist I try some of his, and I'd love to say it was anything but delicious but that's exactly what it was. I can only assume the chef did something impressive as the knowledge of what haggis is didn't allow for it to taste the way it did.



We enjoyed a couple more drinks, paid the bill which was very reasonable and then made our way back home. Overall Albannach was an excellent evening out and I shall certainly be returning at some point - I may even try the haggis. The level of service and quality they offered was top notch and I think the Scots have got it just about spot on.
