Jacks Bar in Southwark

Used to come here every Friday night for work drinks after a week in the office. The bar is unique in its design and atmosphere. Great selection of beers and the way the open plan inside bar merges into the outdoor area is really cool. It can get very busy on a Friday evening but it’s a good friendly crowd and security / management have everything under control.

Really friendly bar with great staff and good selection of drinks. I didn't try the food but it looked good. Maybe next time.

If loud and busy is what you want (and many people will) then you'll enjoy this but otherwise it might be a bit much. Young crowd and somewhat disinterested bar staff unless they're doing their thing with cocktails

Such a lovely venue, with seating in and outside. Small menu but the food is amazing so is the selection/choices so it doesn't matter. Great environment and friendly staff. Easy to book a table/space

Nice bar but I visited in November and got doubled charged for drinks as the WiFi went down while we were there. They asked us to try and pay again and then once we left we noticed both attempts had gone through, so essentially paid £13 for a pint.Emailed to try and rectify it and never got a response, which is a shame because it was an easy mistake to happen and to have been fixed.

TLDR; surprisingly good Thai food but was a tad expensive and crampedCame here on a Friday night and the place was rammed. The dining and bar area bleed into each other and so did the music and conversations. It was really difficult to have a conversation at one point. Generally the place felt a bit too cramped for a sit down meal.The thai food was surprisingly good and authentic. The pad thai in particular was the highlight. You can feel the “fire” and intensity it was cooked with. The curry and calamari were decent but a little salty.It was a little on the expensive side (~£13 for a curry) which can be justified for some dishes like the Pad Thai.

Great bar, fantastic food and staff are exceptional. Strongly recommend a visit, food and drinks come out quickly too if you are in a rush.. I'd happily come back here

Good beer selection, plentiful deep fried starters, brilliant service, nice place for an after work drink, chat and some beige.

Great little spot for a bit of Thai lunch or a few beers after work.Great outside area with loads of tables and do a few nice beers too.Contemporary look and feel to the indoor area.We went for lunch, and did the Johnny Rice Thai deal.. bit like a rice and three offer! Food was delicious and a great portion.. deffo worth taking a look if you are in the area.

The atmosphere was lovely. Definitely a hole in the wall with a beautiful outside seating area. You can hear the train above your head inside, which only adds to the atmosphere of sitting in a bar in the heart of London.
