Drinks were reasonably priced and with a good selection and the staff were really friendly which is great.
Something to note - if you're getting an Uber from here, make sure to drop the pin yourself as if you put the address in it ends up halfway down the road. In the early hours of the morning after a few it will save you a lot of "Where are you" conversations.
However. The last time a group of me and my girlfriends went, we were spoken to in an awful way. Lied to. And shouted and sworn at by members of staff.
After we were spoken to in a highly unprofessional manner, including one member of staff telling one of our party to "f**k off", of course we retaliated and returned the gesture. If a member of staff is unnecessarily rude to a friend the natural reaction is to stick up for your friend.
I myself have worked in customer service for numerous years and I have never encountered anything like the language being used at paying customers before.
Such a shame this one night ruined the bar for myself and friends.
West 5 is a true hidden gem. Situated in Ealing, West 5 is located in a part of west London where you wouldn’t normally find many safe spaces for LGBTQIAP+ folk.
Bar staff and security are as charming as they are helpful and are always up for a little bit of banter.
Not to mention that they also book plenty of Ru Girls from all seasons so it’s a real treat for those familiar with the show!
