The Print Room -Covent Garden

I was attending a food blogger conference in London over my birthday weekend earlier this summer. I was also asked to review The Print Room, a popular bar overlooking the square at Covent Garden (open daily from 17:00-01:00) that Saturday night (my birthday) and Mr R agreed to meet me there and have an evening out together.

The Print Room entrance is right on a corner of the market and a winding staircase later you emerge to a crowded, bustling bar.

We were given seats outside on the balcony overlooking the piazza which was especially welcome on a warm, sultry evening.

Mr R was very happy with his glass of red wine (Rioja) and I started with a glass of Prosecco (they have Prosecco on tap which made for a happy me!)

There is a bar menu although if you are looking for a meal downstairs is the restaurant 21. However on this lovely evening we were happy to sit outside, sipping our drinks had eating from the bar menu.

We had olives to nibble on and shared an order of calamari, beautifully cooked and tender.

We both had a pizza, huge with a thin traditional crust, just how I like them (not a great fan of the deep dish so popular these days).

They have a Prosecco fountain which I must admit to sampling from a few times!! It is a great drink after all!

We just sat and enjoyed the atmosphere going on below us in Covent Garden square astonished by how busy the other bars and restaurants were as well.

 

Mr R and I were guests of The Print Room which is located above their sister restaurant 21  on the corner of The Market Covent Garden. 

I was not paid to review this bar and as usual all opinions and photos are my own.
