Bar 42 is a small, nice bar that’s great for private and party bookings. They serve a good variety of drinks, and although they don’t offer food, they do accept both cash and card payments, which is convenient. The staff are friendly and helpful. There was a girl named Kalcy who took my order perfectly—always smiling, greeting people warmly, and providing excellent service. Overall, it’s a good place to relax and enjoy drinks with great service.

We went to a private area roped off this Saturday 10/1/26 in tiki hideaway. Was told area was 8-11, small bar area with uninterested bar staff. Went to main bar asked for bottle of prosecco was told you have to go downstairs for that. Not “oh hold on a minute I’ll go get you one “ Had to ask for a cooler to go with the Prosecco after going downstairs. Uninterested bar staff downstairs which was amazing because it was absolutely dead. At 10:50pm one of the managers started trying to move us all from the area we had booked. One of our people mentioned to the manager about it not being fair being moved when we’re paying £6 a can of beer etc, no fighting or aggression. Just a comment. Cue crazy door team guy straight over telling him he’s taking his drink off him and taking him out the weird way, down the fire escape rather than the normal way out. I’ve worked in bars and clubs for over 25 years and that’s not normal, one door guy actually took the time to get both sides of the story whilst we said there was no aggression, manager came back and got a bit heated with us, tall door guy with dreads continued to be threatening to us when we posed no issues. Credit to the security guy who spoke with us. No credit to the big guy with dreads who clearly has issues along with the “manager” Also looking at 15 bad reviews about the door team here. Maybe need to have a look at this ? Left and won’t be returning. 0 stars if I could. *EDIT As I can’t reply to your response I’m editing this, let me point out firstly we were thrown out of the area not just the ropes removed, like I said I work in the nightlife industry I understand how it works. Your Doorman was plain rude and looking for a fight, looking at cctv won’t change that. Speak to your security company for gods sake. Also you said about taking people out the fire escape way to avoid a busy bar. There were literally no customers downstairs so that doesn’t make sense. It’s clear your doorteam are a shambles. 16 bad reviews about just the doorteam. Wow. I’d like to know the name of the security firm who employ your door team please.

A girl working at the bar with blondish hair was extremely rude after she accidentally took away a drink that I had just bought. She completely disregarded me and then sprayed cleaning solution on me without apologizing. Another lady with dark hair helped me out.

Been coming for years, ange and liban were amazing and years later, Debs, Elina, and Hope were lovely at the bar. They sorted me out with drinks when a payment got mixed up and made up for it with customer service. Walter and Brandon on the door were also lovely. Would recommend to anyone

Bouncer wouldn't let us in for wearing denim shorts. Yet allowe others in Used to he a good place wouldn't recommend again. Hence why 5 people in on a Friday night.
