An Awful, Awful Place...

Overpriced. Terrible service. Rude staff. Revolting food.
I have to say this is the first time I have ever felt moved enough to write a review online. If you are considering paying this establishment a visit heed my words - it is an unpleasant experience and you will forever regret the few pounds you chuck away drinking yourself up to a level of enjoyment.
It is a confused theme bar that can't quite figure out whether it is a family restaurant or a bar cum club. I actually witnessed a shot girl rock up to a family table and offer the dad a sambuca. There was even a toilet guy at 3 in the afternoon.
The food was so terrible and expensive I can't express my irritation enough. First of all a 40 minute wait. Then a bowl of chips so small I don't think it can justify existing - £1.60. Then a cheeseburger with no cheese, burnt bun, overdone meat - £7.95. Then a bowl of chilli fries with no chilli on it - £2.95. Now I don't know if it's just me but I expect chilli fries as in chilli con carne on chips not chilli as in a red chilli seasoning on chips - google image it I'm bloody right! I never actually complain and when I had a go at the waitress I felt like an absolute b&$tard but I was so wound up by this point. I used to be a waiter and a bar man so I know what it's like when you get an ar$£ hole customer. On the flip side I also know when I get crap service. Bar staff terrible. Waiting staff terrible. Rude obnoxious and arrogant.
Seriously NEVER EVER go this establishment. They steal your money and treat you like a mug. A round for two is a tenner. Next time I want to watch the footie I'm going to a standard pub. I feel sorry for all the tourists who get absolutely robbed by going there.

Cheers is an American bar around Leicester Square, with the 1970s TV show with the same name as the theme. The walls are filled with pictures of scenes and of actors from the show. The restaurant floor in the middle turns into a dance floor at around 10pm with local DJ’s playing a wide range of music from techno to R&B to Turkish folk music. It's somewhat filled with tourists but pretty decent overall. Also, in London it's better to stick to beers than mixed drinks as they put the exact same small portion of liquor in any mixed drink, which makes the drink way too light compared to the price you pay.
