PING - bar review

The buzz: Ping pong is cool again. Now the people behind Bungalow 8 are bringing the American ping pong bar to west London.

The deal: Alcohol-fuelled table tennis accompanied by cocktails and freshly-made pizzas - followed by dancing.

Good for: A raucous night out with your (old) university friends. It has the feel of the ultimate common room — with communal ping pong tables, arcade games, loud music and lively bar staff.

Order: The Chandler Ping — a watermelon full of vodka cocktail — and the summery Rhubarb Aperol. Also delicious are the shots, which are not on the menu but just ask nicely and they’ll make one for you.

By the way: Serious whiff whaffers should head down for “Tournament Tuesdays” to show-off their best moves with the bat. Night owls are catered for on Fridays and Saturdays, when it stays open until 2am.
