The place looks like a dive with loud music, but oh boy the food is excellent (and garlicky), the selection of beers is excellent plus the staff are great. We had an excellent couple of hours in there.

In my personal Opinion, if you want a place to relax, enjoy amazing drinks and food , perfect , and amusingly sarcastic staff, always happy when they bring the deinks, amazing for a chat aswell. This is the place for that, Always going there whenever I'm In London. Love you guys.

Love, love, love this place. In fact the only thing I don't love about it are the toilets. They're pretty grim which is pretty bad for an eatery. Oh and the steep stairs because they aren't great if you're there taking advantage of the extensive shot list (101 shots!).

On the first floor you have the restaurant - reservations are almost always necessary although if it's early a small group may get lucky with a walk in. The food is delicious - and it all contains garlic.

I highly recommend the chicken quesadiila - the portion is generous and it's a really flavourful, garlicky, spicy twist on Mexican. The marinade and sauce in the dish (and a few others on the menu) features the Bloodshot - the bars most renowned Bloody Mary like shot. The corn tortillas topped with halloumi are fantastic for a lighter bite. And you have to have a side of the garlic bread - not only is it amazing, it's basically half a loaf!

If you miss out on a table in the restaurant, they will serve bar food (including the garlic bread!) to the basement 'Vampire Bar'.

It's a good bar - dark, dingy and with excellent music of the heavier persuasion. I recommend getting their early to try to get the table in the crypt - a little out of the way cave like booth.

Drinks options can be limited - beer choices are very few and soft drinks are limited to Coke (full fat) and Sprite.

Came in for a few drinks during our vacation, and ended up getting some food. The Garlic Meatballs are the most delicious thing I have had in a long while. If you don't like garlic then go somewhere else. The bloodshot was pretty good, too.

If you like shots and metal music this is your perfect place. While it looks like an average bar on the outside, if you go down the stairs you will discover a dark gothic vault type room. That is where you need to be.

There's not much space but if you are lucky enough to get a table just sit down and pick some shots. They are about £3 and they are quite strong.

I recommend stopping there for a few shots before continuing your night out on the town. It is something unusual to take your friends to as even if they are not into that type of music and decor they will appreciate how unusual it looks.

Garlic & Shots - GREAT FOOD!. I have been here many times over the years and (with one end of day exception. Different chef?) have had TRULY EXCELLENT FOOD & very GENEROUS PORTIONS.
I particularly recommend the potation skins with aoli, the feta cheese with garlic, the garlic bread, tortilla chips, garlic beer.
There are pots of lovely fresh parsley on each table (so that you can suppress that garlic smell to the outside world?).
ENJOY!

If you love metal music and you like rock and roll then this place is surely for you . One more condition you should like garlic too ( as the name suggests that is pretty obvious)
There is a beer garden at this place and you are going to love that feature here.
I would not say much because I really want you guys to get surprised while you are here . I do not want to ruin the surprise element.

This place serves a huge variety of shots, and most of the shots have some amount of garlic in them. Its most likely that you're going to fall in love with any shot you order at this place, and it'll be a hell of a night for you. I went to this place with some of my Yelp friends last week and we ordered several rounds of shots, each of which tasted incredible. I would love to visit this place again.

If you are a fan of rock music then you really must give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.
When I went there this place was filled with families and metal music was playing. The light was dimmed and according to me the ambiance was perfect.
I ordered san miguel and blood shots . In food I had potato skins and according to me everything was perfect there.
This place is sure a visit.

If you like vegetarian food, then you must try this place some time. The menu has quite a lot of vegetarian options. I wouldn't recommend you to try their garlic ice-cream though the fried bacon an garlic stuffed dates are wonderful. I really like those two things and I am pretty sure that you will also find them delicious. They also have a variety of drinks and don't forget to try some of them as you find those pretty good.

I have never had the food at this restaurant but I have frequented the bar a couple of times and always been impressed. I always go here when my friends come to the city to visit me. The atmosphere is perfect and very enjoyable. I love the drinks offered here and the music that they play. The staff does seem rude but that is perfectly fine. I will revisit this place multiple times!

They have a creepy basement bar but I'm sure that you are going to like that.
The staff is just okay , they did not greet us well , that might be because of the fact that they were tired smiling all day but for me that is a must condition.
If you are planning to go here then do try the backyard seating. It is AMAZING !

VERY interesting place, the atmosphere was incredibly unique, with lots of posters, memorabilia and unique pieces all over the place. The shots list included 101 to choose from and we tried most of the top 10 shots, along with some extras. Their signature shot, the bloodshot, was very good - I was expecting an awful tasting Prarie fire style shot and was pleasantly surprised by an almost soup-like shot. The only downside was that the 4 staff present spent most of the time sitting at a table speaking amongst themselves, so every time we wanted to order another round, we had to holler to get their attention. Bathroom cleanliness also was lacking. Definitely recommend for the unique atmosphere and menu if you don't mind a bit of a grunge feeling scene :)!

Please don't judge the 4 stars as anything other than really good, we didn't eat much and the place is quirky and cool to sit in (and was, thankfully, relatively quiet for time and location).... really good place, very friendly service and the bloody mary shot was amazing !!!

Very cool little place with a huge shots selection but the star of the show is the food which features the eponymous - GARLIC! The garlic pops were fantastic.

Best burger I've had in a long time. One of the few places in Soho on a Saturday night that wasn't crammed. Would recommend

In the heart of Soho and 3 minutes walking distance from Tottenham Hotspur train station. It's the best bar for shots. They have over 100 shots from all kinds of drinks. The staff are friendly, especially the bartender zlatina. Let her choose the shots for you. The prices are great. If you're into shots then this is the place to go for you. Cheers

It was my first time in soho and I found this place by chance. It has such great shoots. The atmosphere was great and the staff were wonderfool. My favourite shoot was the 62 the Tony montarrna shoot. I had the hamburger and potato skins and it was really good. The burger itself was a very generous size and the potato skins were fresh and soft. I will definitely come back here again. At least for a quick shoot. Beware. The Bloodshoot (No1 shot) is not gluten free.

Amazing! Wish I took photos of the food. The famous garlic bread was definitely worth the money, I got the veggie burger without cheese the garlic wasn't too overpowering, but my boyfriend who ordered the chicken ballotine found the mash very garlicie! Didn't mind though. Service was good, wasn't ignored, was quick with ordering food and drinks as well as asking for the bill. Would definitely go again!

Can I just say that Sophie was an absolute gem!! I visited a few weeks ago and she was great. Obviously the place was busy as it was soho on a weekend and she was evidently one of the only people working. I waited in the queue and ordered and she seemed thankful I ordered an easy drink (think there was a tough crowd before me!). When asking if I could leave a tip she said a review would work (I haven’t forgotten I’m just terrible at following through on time). Go Sophie!! As Kris Kardashian would say ‘you’re doing great sweetie’. I used to bar tend so know how hard it is and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. I’d go back for Sophie!! Drinks were also top notch.
