Great vibe and good-but-not-great cocktails right next to St. Paul's. Solid choice to unwind after work and/or meet friends. When the weather cooperates, recommend sitting outside.
Last night I visited with a friend Dion Bar & Restaurant in London and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Erika. I felt compelled to write this review because the level of care and professionalism we received from her was truly exceptional.
From the moment we arrived, Erika made us feel welcome and valued. She was warm, attentive and genuinely kind, with a natural ability to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. Her manner was both polished and sincere, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and heartfelt hospitality.
What stood out most was how she went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was special. Nothing was too much trouble. She checked in at all the right moments, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the evening. It is rare to encounter such a high standard of customer service delivered with such grace and authenticity.
Erika is a real asset to Dion Bar & Restaurant, and thanks to her, our visit was not just a meal but a memorable experience. We will most certainly be returning.
Thank you, Erika, for your kindness, care and outstanding service. Marianela
I confess I don’t really like pubs in London. It’s not a London Pub/Bar issue it’s a me issue. I really don’t like crowds or having to fight to get to the bar - and I didn’t have to do either of these things at peek time on a Wednesday evening. Bar service was great and despite the lots of people there I still had room to move around in. Great. I might even go back again sometime.

Dear Len. Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this great feedback. We pride ourselves on our service so even when we're busy we always aim to serve everyone as quickly as possible with a smile :)! As we move into the warmer months there is usually enough space for everyone with 2 floors inside dion and the large outside terraces overlooking the Cathedral. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Handy stop off before dinner at Ivy Asia. Nice cocktails, lovely staff.

Wandered in after sightseeing in London, ended the night by St Paul's cathedral as was told to see it by night and stumbled across this hidden gem. The staff were fantastic and attentive and the manager Vini made my night by his knowledge and going above and beyond. Will visit again.

I was hosting some drinks with clients and I have to say dion was very accommodating given it was the festive season and Erika in particular was amazing! She was very attentive and absolutely lovely!

Thank you, Owen! We’re glad you enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. Hope to welcome you back soon!
We stopped here for drinks before visiting the Ivy Asia restaurant. A great bar, lovely inside. We received excellent service at our table by a very friendly lady called Erika. from Lithuania. I opted for a draught Moretti beer, my wife had red wine. A small optional service charge was added to our bill. Will definitely visit again if we are in the St Paul's area.

Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed your visit and the great service from Erika. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
I have been in this place many times However i was sitting and craving for conversation As my friend is fighting alcoholism , and tried to strike a conversation with familiar face Erika. However i overheard her conversation behind My back with another customer publicly calling me bad names. Weirdo and telling me moral about social interactions. It was awful. . Maybe its a London general problem. Or maybe it's a personal problem but it was rude unprofessional and completely out of line. I am not coming to this place ever again. Completely dissappointed. Unfortunately 3rd time here. She tried to wafle something later, but i lost interest and politely refused further conversation. Maybe she felt too comfortable because we are same ethnicity. But completely sick in my stomach. Bless you all and have a lovely day. Amen.
Top notch
