“Ginglik is a cool, subterranean members' bar. It's dark and atmospheric with good lighting and a stage that hosts an ever-changing menu of live gigs, comedy nights, film nights, DJs and exhibitions. The variety of live performance on offer is staggering. Ginglik attracts a good looking, cool crowd. Like a slice of Shoreditch but without the too cool for school attitude. The staff are fantastic and ensure the place runs smoothly” viewlondon
