The servers were so friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. We went with our 7 and 9 year old at 11 pm because we are on California time and hadn't eaten yet and it was great. Bangers and mash and toasties. Yum! Plus, the food elevator was really fun to watch. read more

My boyfriend and I were up late and noticed most restaurants were already closed by 9 PM (only the bars were opened). We opted to try this place out and it was definitely a good option knowing that there wasn't much of anything else around. He had a burger with fries and I had their shepherd's pie (highly recommend). It's a bit noisy and it's cramped. Our service just seemed annoyed with everyone so that wasn't great. Otherwise, the food was good for the price. read more

I've been here so many times. I travel to London for business regularly and the Polo Bar is near the hotel I always stay at. The 24 Hour aspect is key. The food is great and the service is always attentive and friendly but the atmosphere is out standing. Polo Bar also has the best Red Velvet Cake on the Planet. read more

Our first breakfast in London was at this restaurant, easily accessible from Liverpool station and open 24 hours. It's a small place, and we arrived when it wasn't busy. We ordered the English breakfast, which was okay--not very flavorful, but big portions. I love that it actually powers me through the whole day. Our waiter was nice and very attentive. I definitely could come here for a quick breakfast and get a proper English breakfast. read more

Really cute little diner-style restaurant in London. We stopped in really early in the morning since our sleep cycles were messed up from jetlag and it was one of the only things open. The food was excellent and the portions were hearty. We ordered two of the Mighty English Breakfast and everything on the plate was delicious. Offers free wifi, great service. They serve water by the bottle rather than tap. read more

I've come here twice now- in March 2023 and in May 2024, and it has been delicious both times. I got the vegetarian full english breakfast, which is so good and hearty, especially if you've got a full day of walking and sightseeing ahead of you. My favorite parts were the bubble and squeak- something I'd never even heard of before- and the buttery whole-grain toast with beans. The indulgent buttery taste of the toast goes so well with the slight acidity of the beans, which are much less sweet than the ones we have in the states. I also appreciate that they have a regular, veggie, and vegan option for this classic dish- my family has one of each. The overall vibe is cozy and eclectic, but definitely close quarters, and the service was very polite. The only negative I've heard was that my friend's Oreo pancakes weren't very good- but I did not try them to confirm ‍ read more

This looks like fyre festival food but I swear it is not. For being open 24/7 this place truly puts the Great in Great British Cafe. Breakfast platter (poached eggs, bacon, hash brown) 5.47/10- had to be warmed up. Bacon was incredibly chewy. Eggs were a bit too runny but still good. The hash brown was great- tasted identical to McDonalds hash brown which is simply the best Croissant 7.68/10- delicious, huge, flaky on the outside but doughy on the inside but not too much of either or. Literally great Custard tart 9.34/10- this was actually fantastic. Tasted like creme brûlée inside a flaky puff pastry without the caramelized sugar on top which is my literal dream. Absolutely perfect. Hazelnut Chocolate cannoli 2.10/10- the actual outer shell of the cannoli was terrible, it was a bit dry and not flavorful. Only thing good about the cannoli was the inner Nutella stuffing, which they also marketed this as chocolate hazelnut when they could have just promoted it as Nutella read more

I was jet lagged so wide awake at 5am. This place was one of the few 24/7 place that had good reviews. Husband and I ordered the Mighty English Breakfast and greek yogurt. We shared both items. The yogurt had a bit too much syrup on there and the granola was a bit stale. The English breakfast was great! This is our first time. Hash browns were my favorite- crispy but soft on the inside. Bacon had that delicious salty taste and is way thicker than American bacon. The touch of basil was perfect! Highly recommend this dish or the English breakfast (smaller version). When you walk in, first floor is for take away orders. 2nd floor is for sitting in. Not sure what the 3rd floor is but I assumed the bar. Stairs are steep and narrow so those with mobility issues- heads up! Tables are close by so get comfy. Decor is super cute with vintage touches. Service was what we expected from this diner. Server was nice and brought out everything we needed. Wished he came back to check up on us at some point though. We walked up to the counter to pay. Would come back since they're 24/7. read more

When I was visiting London this became me go to stop. It's open 24 hours so it was good for breakfast, lunch and a midnight snack. During the late night hours there can be a line outside. They also require you to pay for your meal before you receive the food late night. But in the daytime the service is normal. read more

If I could give this place 12 stars I would! As an American and wanting late night food it was a win. We ordered a chili cheese dog, egg sandwich, chicken ceasar wrap, and wings. The wings had a sweet glaze on them that was amazing. Delivered within about 20 min to SoHo late night. Total win. We are still talking about it and it's been a week. read more

Went here because the restaurant we were planning to go to somehow ran out of food, and we were dead set on getting pancakes. So maybe this review is a tad biased. First of all, the plating concept is cute, but a tad impractical for the eating of pancakes. We accidentally spilled our maple syrup due to its precarious placement. The pancakes took like 25 minutes and were lukewarm when they arrived :( Overall not super great, a little over cooked. And maple syrup is extra. However, the cappuccino was good and the berries were very fresh! Decent for a 24 hour restaurant, but there are better places for pancakes. read more

I came here for a decent breakfast before heading into work. It is such a convenience that this place is open 24 hours. In the early morning, as the commuters stray to roll in to The City, you'd find a fairly quiet corner in the upstairs seating, which was where I had my English breakfast. The toast was a considerable highlight to this experience, rich and buttery, crispy. The baked beans were average, straight-out-the-can. The bacon is cooked well with no complaints. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and kept me fed for the whole day. Prompt service, friendly. Will come again. read more

I'm leaving a one star review because I really don't understand why people are raving so much about the food. I need people to be informed. First off, I will say that we had gotten Polo delivered. I'm sure that if it is in the middle of the night, you've been drinking all day, and stumbled in here because nothing else is open, then this food would be "okay." It might be heaven for you depending on how much you drank. But for two people who had been drinking all day with other options still open, our opinions were that this was some of the worst food that we've ever had. We got fish and chips, wings, shepherds pie, a hot dog, and carrot cake. Each dish was simply terrible. Fish was old, fries were soggy and just about still frozen in the middle, the hot dog was a mushed mess where as the bread was delivered disconnected. Everything else was old and low quality. I took a bite or two of each dish and threw the rest away. Again, I'm sure that this place has its appeals. But not for me. Not this time around. read more

We had a great time at Polo, and not insignificantly, it was literally our only option at around midnight one London Monday night. The hot dogs(and probably many other menu items) are made in advance, so adjust your expectations accordingly. The fish and chips were surprisingly good, but the pancakes were abysmal- don't. Overall, fair enough for a 24-hour eat/drink place. read more

If you come here with low or moderate expectations you will not be disappointed. After sleeping the day away with jetlag I needed to eat the foods. There was nothing open in the middle of the night where I was staying so I followed shady Google maps walking directions here. When I got here it was completely packed on the first and second floors. I was lucky to get a table. Later I found out this is across the street from the Aldgate tube station, which is probably better than wandering abandoned streets in 30-degree weather. The service was fast and the food came quickly. The bf and I both ordered burgers and chips. The burgers were excellent, however, I would caution against ordering the chili burger. The UK definition of chili burger (a burger with sliced jalapeno) is apparently not what it is in the US (a burger with a ladle of chili on top). There are definitely a lot of travellers getting oddly timed meals in here. They offer breakfast foods as well as full plates, so there's something for everyone here at odd hours. read more

Had one of the best breakfast here in London at Polo 24 Hour Bar. I was searching for a breakfast open at 6:00am because we had to head over to our Stonehenge Tour at 8am. My friend ordered the American breakfast and I ordered the floretine eggs Benedict. I like that the egg muffin was nice and crispy and that the hollandaise sauce isn't too overwhelming. Best thing about this place is that it's open 24 hour! Yippppie. Their chocolate crossaints were also really delicious. read more

I had been scoping this place out since we booked our flights to London! I had seen their page on Instagram and wanted to come here as soon as we landed! On my birthday, my husband took me here for lunch, it wasn't at all busy so I was happy we got a table right away, there are three levels and a lot of steps but it was definitely worth it. Our server was a really nice man, he let us take our time while we looked at the menu, we were being the biggest tourist taking photos of everything going on. The decor is so fun, the huge British Flag in the window and hopefully a fake stuffed bear. I ended up ordering sausage and mash while Bryan ordered the Polobar Steak Supreme Burger with a side of chilli cheese chips. We were so excited to see chilli on the menu, little did we know they were going to sliced chillis! I laughed so hard, a little misunderstanding but really delicious either way. The portion size is huge, there was so much mash I couldn't finish it all! The food was so good and Bryan said it was the best burger he had the whole trip. After our food, we ended our lunch with homeade scones and clotted cream along with tea and a glass of bubbles. We also had a slice of carrot cake as my birthday sweet. It was wonderful and they really used cream cheese frosting which I am a stickler for. We chatted for a bit with another server while ours went home, she too was really lovely. We had wanted to Scotland and told us the best ways to get to the train station that would take us to our airport! She was amazing, I wish I had gotten her name! Thanks so much for the hospitality Polo Bar, we cannot wait to come back! read more

When: Monday at 11am Party Size: 2 Traditional English Breakfast: 7/10 Everything on the plate was cooked perfectly. Could be a little more flavorful but enjoyable nonetheless. Gf got a bacon, egg, avo sandwich on a baguette but it was kind of dry and bland. Service: 10/10 Sat down immediately, water instantly, ordered as soon as we were ready Ambiance: 6/10 Divey, but cozy at the same time. Has some cool historic memorabilia/decorations inside. Overall: 7/10 Food was good but nothing outstanding. Didn't mess anything up. Enjoyed my morning meal - hearty and filling. I'd come back for breakfast again. read more

First off, this place is open 24 hours. That in-and-of itself is cause for celebration in a city that closes everything ridiculously early. And while I'm not the biggest fan of heavy American food- being that I'm an American- it's actually pretty good. The fare from the hot dogs to the breakfast platters, which are served all day, are all great. The pancakes come in many different varieties, the drinks are plentiful, and the seasonal specials are always worth a try. Just know that it is very much diner food, and if you're used to surviving on salads and quinoa, this might not be the place for you. Given that it's near a lot of cool hangouts like the Sushisamba right next door and pubs galore, it's the perfect place to grab a late-night bite with your friends after all the other kitchens have closed. read more

It was after midnight and we were starving, the originally plan was to head on over to Duck & Waffle since they are a 24 hour place, but we got dress coded (jeans with rips in them, bought that way) and told ripped jeans are not allowed so we were turned away, so I quickly looked up 24 hour places on the Yelp app and found Polo 24 hour bar which was close, so off we went. After checking out the menu I went with the eggs benedicts, my friends thought I was nuts, but it just sounded the perfect meal. I ordered the bacon benedicts, it was grilled bacon with poached eggs on a handmade muffin covered in hollandaise sauce, and I must say these were some great eggs bennys, definitely hit the spot. Friends enjoyed their meals as well. This was a great find for a late night eat. read more

Late night eats? Check. Came by here on our last night in London around 11pm with a group of 6 people, and was seated right away. We all decided on some dishes from the menu, and one by one we were told the item we wanted was sold out, so we took another 10 minutes to decide on other items, and this time only half of the things we wanted were sold out, but then randomly were told the ribs we wanted to start off with were no longer sold out. We think it was just a miscommunication with the staff and the kitchen, but the food we got was all alright, but nothing to write home about. Solid place for late night eats, just dont come in with any high expectations as they may be sold out of your first and second choice. read more

The food was decent, but the guy at the bar was very rude. We asked them to turn the music down and they said no Shut Up. The music was so loud we couldn't even have a decent conversation. This establishment also has a large number of flies. One Star! read more

It was my last day in London and I had not yet experienced the full traditional English breakfast. In the early morning hours, I was able to find Polo Bar, which was conveniently located near the hotel I was staying. The bottom level is an Italian bakery and while I was tempted to get a cannoli, I was here for breakfast. Now if by some chance you, my reader, are unaware of the concept of the full English breakfast, let me explain. The full English breakfast is a breakfast plate consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, fried tomato, bread, and mushrooms. Sounds like a typical breakfast right? Well, the stuff gets deeper. The last few items baked beans and black pudding, make this breakfast unique to the UK. Once that plate was set down on the table I went straight for those baked beans. They are sweet and pretty much what I get from a can. Not necessarily a bad thing, but nothing unique here. Very simple molasses flavor. The beans are soft and break apart easily. Now, bite into that bacon. This isn't typical bacon, but more like Canadian bacon or a slice of ham in terms of thickness. Lacks the crisp, slight char and gratuitous saltiness of the beloved American bacon. Rather, this bacon is mild, soft and chewy. I enjoyed pairing it with the beans as they compliment one another. Salty, sweet, chewy, fatty. It's a crowd-pleasing combination. The sausage is a breakfast sausage so don't expect a juicy interior or satisfying snap. But it has a simple flavor profile, slightly grilled, greasy, savory and a little spicy. Also is a decent length, girth, and density, unlike other breakfast sausages that are mostly grease and filler. Bread is very crisp and slightly blackened. Thorugh and deep buttering. Butter has a nice creamy and cultured taste. The mushrooms are sauteed and have a chewy texture. Tomato is partially cooked and has a nice balance between that raw acidic tang and roasted sweetness. Semi-melted texture with some juices pooling underneath. Sunnyside up egg has a slightly rubbery white, but the yolk is is the perfect texture. Slightly thick and runny. I enjoyed coating the sausage in that runny egg yolk. But the egg does seem to be a cheaper egg as the white has a slightly rubbery quality. Either that or it was cooked too quickly...or maybe it was a lower end egg not given the love it needed to reach full sunnyside up potential. I saved the best for last. Black pudding was the gem of the meal. Has a nice bready texture with a sage undertone. No, it doesn't taste like blood, but there is a distinctly savory quality here. Soft and moist with some solid bits of grain. I really enjoyed the complexity here. Furthermore, it doesn't need to be paired with anything to enhance flavor. The full English breakfast does a good job of covering the food groups. The focus seems to be on savory and salty. Only sweetness comes from the beans, which is still kinda savory. Each item by itself is simple, but together as a whole it is a satisfactory experience. read more

Probably the worst experience I had in London as far as food goes. The waitress was incredibly rude and the food was below subpar. As soon as my friends and I sat down, she quickly came over and asked what we wanted. Being that we had just been sat, we replied that we weren't sure yet. Annoyed, she left and came back about 3 minutes later asking if we knew yet. It was our first time there, so we once again said we didn't know but ordered water. We were expecting tap water but she brought bottled water over, which we were charged for. Confused, seeing everyone else with tap water cups, we didn't understand why it wasn't communicated to us that she would be bringing us bottled water. After ordering two pancake stacks we had seen on social media (the only reason why we came) and an omelette, we were asked to pay before the food was delivered. I didn't experience this anywhere else in London so I'm not sure if this is an English thing or just their establishment. Just thought it was strange. My friend reported that his omelette was ok. However, my other friend and I were not impressed with the quality of our pancake stacks. In fact, mine (Oreo pancakes) cleaned me out for the next 24 hours. Sorry if that's TMI, but if you're looking for a 24 hour cleanse, look no further! All kidding aside, this placed sucked and I couldn't believe it had so many good reviews. Wish I could've gotten my money back but the sooner we got out of there, the better! read more

Context, I just landed on a red-eye from New York. Hunger level: ready to eat a cow While I didn't eat a cow at Polo 24 hour bar, I did get some pork. For a hungry, growing man, the breakfast here was delicious. The eggs were made to order, and the hash browns for crispy and fresh. The meat was succulent and juicy, and wasn't too hard or chewy. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered additional bacon and eggs! These guys know their breakfast, and I wouldn't hesitate in coming back here. read more

I got the Vegetarian Breakfast, which had bubble and squeak (potatoes and other vegetables in a patty), eggs, roasted tomato and mushrooms, hashbrowns, baked beans, and toast. My dish was pretty good, but my friend was disappointed with her Smoked Salmon breakfast with scrambled eggs, guacamole, and bagel. Her dish was soaked in oil and made her feel sick afterwards. However, I'm still giving them 4 stars because I liked my dish, so it might be a hit or miss. Also, I love that they are open 24/7, because I was able to pick up food before work at 6:30 before any other stores opened up. read more

Looking for a warm place to grab a meal after finishing a walking Jack the Ripper Tour with Strawberry Tours (which I highly recommend!). The tour ended fairly late so most places were closing up. Luckily the neon lights and delicious smells attracted us to Polo Bar. After walking past a counter of hot dogs/sandwiches/pastries we sat ourself in the back room on the first floor. Immediately we were greeted by our waitress and she turned the wall unit heater on after mentioning how cold it was outdoors. She brought us a round of drinks while looking over the extensive menu. I knew immediately I wanted a Steak & Ale Pie because why not, I'm in London! When the pie came out it was a piping hot, heaping pile of mashed potatoes with a mound of thick pieces of steak, smothered in red gravy and ripped off with vibrant green mushy peas. I was in heaven as this was just the type of comfort food I needed. It warmed me up from head to toe and every bite was perfectly delicious. My friends ordered sandwiches (Hot Salt Beef & Philly Steak) and fries smothered in cheese & bacon of course. We were all in a warm food coma by the end of our meals giving us just enough warmth to get us from Polo's to the train station as we made our way home. It's just what we all needed and were so glad we stopped in. Hopefully you will be too! read more

Busy little 24 hour cafe right opposite Liverpool station. Two floors of seating with a great menu selection of 'fast food' options including all day breakfasts, brunch, lunch, dinner, burgers and desserts. Literally no matter what time of day you could eat whatever food option you choose. They also have 'award winning pancakes'. Sadly I was only here for a coffee meeting today and in honesty the coffee wasn't that great but what I will say is I loved the overall vibe here and the staff - they were friendly, chipper and laughing and joking around which was a nice escape from the busy streets of the City of London. I'm definitely going to head back here for a late night meal. Any business that's 24 hours is fine by me and from the general Yelp hype it's definitely worth the visit. read more

Must go too place to eat. So good! I literally never finish my plate of food. I'm a small girl usually eat half a plate or pick at my food then eat it later, but once I had that first bite I couldn't help but eat it all. I almost wanted seconds! We had the English breakfast that came with beans,sausages, ham, toast and eggs. It's the perfect breakfast not to heavy not to light perfect way to start of your day. P.S. No breakfast will ever be good enough after eating this dish. Trust me! I know lol read more

After seeing the long queue at The Breakfast Club, we decided to find and alternative through the Yelp app. and wa really pl;eased that it directed us to the Polo 24 Hour Bar. A really nice little place set over 3 floors, all of which a quite narrow, so you have to be careful that you don't knock fellow diners as you manoeuvre your way to your table. As it was late morning, I wend for the Polo Breakfast, which at £6.99, I felt was a good deal. It was a standard English breakfast offering, and was really not greasy at all. It wqas washed down with two cups of English breakfast tea. My othere diners when for an Omlette and a Bacon sandwich. We were all plaesed with our choices. We p[aid £10 each, including a healthy sized tip. Highly recommend this place, and I understand it is open 24 hours (hence the name maybe!). read more

Usually I rate a restaurant for its food and if I was, I'll give this place three stars because with the prices they're charging you can probably go to a greasy spoon and get something similar for a lot cheaper and probably includes a drink. But the reason why I'm giving Polo 24 bar a four is because there's actually a place in London that opens 24 hours a day, located conveniently and not charging the world like Duck and Waffle lets just say. Plus the place looks pretty cool, very odd mid century British cafe decor with weird taxidermies on the wall. Let's just say it would be very hard not to fit in as you will get the business people, the group of friends and the tired builders. Service is a hit and miss. Depends on who serves you, what day you rock up and of course, what time too. I usually don't care what service I get as I sympathise with anyone working through the night and maybe doing the occasional shift work. Half the time they don't seem to care about us either and ignore the fact we have entered and want a seat. Ha! Win win situation. Food is pretty standard. Nothing that particular wows anyone and can be a mix bag at time. Depending on what you get it usually comprises of lots of different things and there's usually two or three things that are right and one or two things that are wrong. So we turned up at 22:00 after exhausting ourselves over some petty argument and every restaurant kitchen was closing. Only this place springs in mind and cures our hunger. We were seated upstairs which had the lights dimmed for relaxation and ordered the following: English tea Standard Tea from PG tips served better than you'll have it at home which makes it more special. Tea was in a classic ceramic teapot and milk was served in a cute glass bottle. Somewhat makes it taste better. Hot milk They serve hot milk without giving you a weird look. Told you you'll fit in ;) American breakfast My American breakfast consisted of sausages, bacon, two fried eggs, a grilled tomato, sweet potatoes fries, mushrooms, pancakes and maple syrup. It was a pretty awesome combination. Don't think I can find anything quite like it anywhere else. Of course if you took each ingredient apart you'll find it's pretty simple but very filling. Pancakes were a bit dense but mixed in with everything else it would do. The best part was the lovely baked sweet potato fries, crisp and sweet and the perfect thing to dip into my runny egg yolks. Sticky toffee pudding Just the standard good old sticky toffee pudding. Everything about it was right from being moist to sticky. Served with custard which I wished had more but for presentation it was served in a little bowl. After you got your food you're pretty much left alone to talk and relax as long as you want. The waiters were pretty much doing the same. It's a cool place with three floors so you don't usually need to reserve. It's comfortable too and great for emergency hunger spikes. Oh and they do good burgers too! read more
