About This Pub
Ah, Be At One in Islington, what a gem for anyone fancying a proper cocktail adventure in London. I've got to say, from the buzz in the reviews, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a memorable night. The cocktails are a real highlight – fresh, inventive, and served with heaps of energy, especially with those unbeatable happy hour offers that make it feel like a cheeky treat rather than a splurge. And the staff? They're the heart of it all, always chatting away, recommending options, and even pushing their rewards app for a bit of extra fun. It's got that perfect party starter vibe, with tunes pumping and options for masterclasses if you want to get hands-on. On the flip side, though, it's not your typical cosy pub; it's more about the cocktails than the beers, and with doors not opening until the afternoon, it might not suit an early-day outing. Plus, it can get a tad packed, so if you're after a quiet corner, you might need to time it right. Overall, it's a solid choice for a lively catch-up or celebration – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for that balance of great drinks and warm service, but just keep those potential crowds in mind!
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The cocktails are absolutely spot on – they've got over 100 options, all crafted by expert bartenders, and the happy hour deals like 2-for-1 are a brilliant way to enjoy them without breaking the bank.
-
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; from the reviews, folks like Danni, Maria, Paradise, and Olly really go the extra mile to make you feel at home and even recommend drinks or perks like their loyalty app.
-
It's got a lively, fun vibe perfect for a night out, with great tunes, smoking areas, Wi-Fi, and even cocktail masterclasses if you're up for learning something new while having a laugh.
-
They're open seven days a week, typically from 4 PM till late, making it easy to pop in for a midweek treat or a weekend celebration in the heart of Islington.
Cons
-
It doesn't open until 4 PM, so if you're after a spot for a casual lunch or early afternoon pint, you might have to look elsewhere.
-
As it's primarily a cocktail bar, it might not be the best choice if you're in the mood for a traditional pub feel with loads of beers on tap – the focus is all on those fancy mixed drinks.
-
From what I've gathered, it can get quite busy, especially during happy hours, which might mean waits for tables or a more crowded atmosphere if you're not keen on that.
-
The moderate price level could add up if you're planning a big night, so it's worth keeping an eye on those deals to keep things affordable.

Wonderful experience with Danni. Welcomed us in straight from the door, talked us through and recommended us cocktail options and even pushed their loyalty app Mixr where you get free drinks and points. Fantastic experience, thanks Danni for looking after us 😘
cute fun bar, even though she was just working as cover Maria was excellent ! The other bartender was also friendly not sure of name but great place
Very very lovely place, sick tasty drinks too. Very friendly staff especially Paradise and Olly
We had a great time here… but what really made my day was Paradise friendly service and this sticker on the front door.
I've been to this Be at One multiple times and I've never had a bad experience. In fact, I've always had a great time. Great drinks, great offers in the happy hour, and the staff are always amazing. I've been going for the past 4-5 years, and the staff have changed but have always been great and the current line up are amazing. Always creating a fun night out.
