   Great chilled venue to go for a drink. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. We go there early at 6pm so was quite quiet so we were given the choice of where to sit. Upon being seated we were told about the happy hour offers and was shortly brought some water and pretzels. The drinks were brought to us quite quickly. It's the first time being in a piano bar like this so it was very unusual to watch a great performance but with people talking loudly around the room and unfortunately the cocktail shaking at the bar was a little distracting of the ambience of the room but it is a necessary evil. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the evening and was there for 2.5hrs. It started getting busy so thought we'd move on to allow others to have the table. The staff did say typically you're able to sit for 3 hours subject to business levels. I'll definitely be back.

   We had a wonderful time at Sonata. Our table host was a gorgeous man who treated us with kindness and care. It was my birthday and he brought us a lovely platter of chocolate which was exquisite. Thank you so much for making our experience a wonderful one. The pianist was brilliant and very talented. We will be back! Julie, Rob and Francesca X

    What a fantastic end to 2022 and start of 2023 ! It was such a good evening spent with friends for New Year’s Eve The two acts were superb , especially the act on for midnight They really did make everyone celebrate and brought people together As for the service it was brilliant as it has been before Being table service is good as you don’t have to worry about going to the bar and distracting yourself from the music and your friends so it’s more relaxing I would not recommend enough and cannot wait to return

    Sonata Bar's first New Year's Eve party and what a great success it was. Fresh and tasty canapés served by professional and friendly staff. Two excellent bands played four sets and rang in the bells at midnight. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

    Superb music 7 nights a week. Staff are great. I had two lovely cocktails last night: a "Scotch Mist" (imagine a ice cold lemsip but with a good glug of whisky) and an Old Fashioned. What I love most about it is the wide range of people that can enjoy it here. Young couples on date night, to old couples on date night, to individuals enjoying the music, to groups of friends having a great time.

    Excellent night. We were not sure what expect of an open Mike night but were blown away by the quality of the performances. Later the indomitable Jeremy Sassoon entertained us and as usual we thoroughly enjoyed his performance and that of his very talented bass accompanist. Jeremy never disappoints.

    Excellent establishment. The staff were very understanding over the fact we were late arriving. Upon arrival, I was impressed with the venue. The general lighting and ambiance were great. We were seated to our table, with the service coming to us, rather than going to the bar. The live act was absolutely stunning. The performer's name was Marsha I believe and the supporting pianist was fantastic. The drinks were pretty good too (I was driving, so only had coffee and coke). My only real quibble with the place was the lack of food options. However, considering its quite a small venue, you get the impression they're trying to create a more personal and comfortable environment. it is very forgivable in the grand scheme of things. Overall, venue is great, the atmosphere was spot on, the service were polite and attentive, and the live performance was borderline flawless. Will definitely be coming here again.
