What to say about Garlic and Shots? Overview: Smelly, dirty dungeon with bar staff (/waiters?) more offensive than the stench. Loads of shots on the menu, a huge proportion of which are like drinking a liquidised bulb of garlic. Food: Portions small and overpriced. Opted for the 'XXX HOT chilli' which was 2 teaspoons of shredded grey meat with no... More

They should sack the manager and quit trying to make food if theyre going to do it so badly and couple it with such dreadful service. This was one of the first bars I ever drank in, and the simple shots/beer idea is great. Progressively the bar has become almost as deadly quiet as the restaurant though, and more and... More

My friend and I had heard about this restaurant for a while before we actually went, but when we did it was better than we thought, the Garlic Bread was a particular favourite of mine, a whole loaf of fresh bread dipped in a garlic oil, fabulous! My friend had the Chocolate and Garlic Ice Cream, we both had loads... More

First of all, let me say that I loved this place enough to eat there twice with my daughter on a 6 day trip in London. It's not easy to find, tucked into a back street in SoHo. The idea of Garlic and Shots is summed up in the name: garlic is featured in absolutely every dish, and there is... More

If you're looking for a hidden spot to enjoy a few beers from bustling London in a rustic 'is what it is' atmosphere then this is the place for you. Cracking value for money and a lovely wee outdoor area. Will definitely be back!

What can I say? I have been to G&S at least 20 times since my first visit in 2008 (considering I live over 300 miles away I think that's pretty good going!) The restaurant is nestled in the heart of Soho and is so small it is easily missed! You are greeted by a mouthwatering aroma of roasted garlic and... More

My friend booked a table here after hearing about it and thinking it sounded like a fun and original place to try. We both love garlic and we both love shots so it seemed ideal for us. On arrival it was pretty empty but we were sat next to the door so kept our coats on as it was pretty... More

Garlic and shots served me an abominable dish of "noodle soup." It tasted more like tagliatelle, which meant that it kept cooking in the broth and so turned the whole bowl into an inedible gelatinous mush. It was disgusting! And I'm an easy eater who will eat anything. Nevertheless, I ate half my portion which was a big mistake. Since... More

Went to garlic & shots one early night as my girlfriend loves garlic. We weren't too hungry so we just ordered 2 starters. The place was empty and the waitress informed that that they would serve us the starters just because the place wasn't busy (is it ever?) but otherwise we could only sit there if we ordered mains. Nice... More
