Fluid Eating's Review of Departure
Departure is a stylish new bar, centrally located in the City, a place to enjoy great food and drinks, as well as somewhere to meet friends, play some pool or dance until late.
Settle into one of the comfy sofas, or reserve an intimate booth, and choose from the drinks list which includes classic cocktails as well as wines, beers and spirits. Pool is available by the hour and the venue will be screening all the major sporting events. Thursday and Friday nights are club nights when Departure brings the flavour of the West End to the City, with leading DJ’s on rotation playing authentic music for people who know how it should be played.
Food available includes bar snacks. Departure has club nights on Saturday & Sunday, contact the venue for more information. (Updated 07/02/2007)

“The night I went it was good, but found the bouncer very rude and aggressive, put me off from going again.”

“I went there on a Saturday morning around 5am and all they played was hard core Electro tunes - what about us Funkadelic ravers?”

“We came here early for free, but that was cool as the pool table was out. Crowd started to generate around 3 and the real after party settled in around 4-5 am. Space: 4 areas, including the more relaxed zone round the bar; plenty of seating for chilling; music: choice, creative electric tunes for uninterrupted dancing - all this, topped off with stepping out into blue sky and sunshine, made for a night to remember.”

“The departure is home to Londons best Sunday morning. If you are the type to venture for an extended platform upon which to truly exhaust any residual saturday night sparkle you could do a great deal worse. The DJ on 2 separate occasions has been outstanding, surpassing the bland talents on show earlier that night at the cross/ egg with a very fresh synth infused jacking hip house set (for want of a better pigeon hole). If you are clued up on the london club circuit but yet to experience this after party I would stongly suggest you reserve the energy to do so. I believe it is on most weeks opening at 5.30 am.”
