Classic, low-lit bar not far from Cartwright Gardens, open later than most other neighborhood spots nearby. Our Romanian bartender was wonderful and the drinks were great. Highly recommend the “Double Army Standard Navy”. (We did not order food.)

Stepping into Double Standard near London's King's Cross is like finding an oasis in the urban desert – a perfect blend of cool vibes and warm welcomes, especially when you snag a seat by the fire! I've popped in a few times for work meetings, and it's quickly become my go-to spot. Whether it's clinching deals or just catching up, the backdrop of this trendy lounge sets the perfect tone. The food? Top-notch. Every bite is a testament to their commitment to quality, and the drinks? They're the kind that make you want to sip slowly, savouring every drop. Each area of Double Standard has its own charm, but let me tell you – getting close to the fire is where the magic happens. It's like a warm hug from an old friend, making the atmosphere go from great to 'I never want to leave'. And the staff – they're the real MVPs here. Lovely doesn't even begin to cover it. They're the kind of people who remember your drink and make you feel like part of the Double Standard fam. So, if you're looking for a place near King's Cross that ticks all the boxes for a business meet-up or just a casual hangout, Double Standard is your spot. Trust me, your meetings will never be the same! #DoubleStandardKingsCross #BusinessAndPleasure #FiresideChats #LondonEats #CocktailOclock

Happened upon this place when looking for somewhere for dinner after a day out in the capital. The waitress was lovely, very friendly and showed me to a gorgeous little table in the courtyard, surrounded by greenery. Considering it was literally 2 minutes walk from King's Cross and just off one of rhe busiest roads in London, it was a proper little oasis. The menu wasn't huge but the short rib mac and cheese sounded, and tasted, delicious. A great choice, topped off by chocolate bar and ice cream and a coffee. I would thoroughly recommend the Double Standard to locals and visitors alike.

There are multiple different atmosphere across the bar, which is pretty nice. Yesterday I experienced the "loungy" part of it and it was very nice. The snacks and cocktails were very tasty. Had the HotBucha (but without the Vanilla). Not sure what the Vanilla would add, but I would defo have it again without it. The staf is always nice from security to waiters.

Excellent burger, with crisp crust, high fat ratio making it juicy, dry aged flavour, a light dash of relish contrasting the chewy, flavourful bacon and salty, salty cheese. Slightly pointless green leaf and slightly overdone texture in the patty are mild criticisms. Superb fries (crisp, starchy, well seasoned), unreal chicken bites (juicy, spicy, crisp) and decent Mac and cheese make a good compliment to the burger, and the cocktails - half price on Monday and Tuesday nice, plus the stylish interior, great atmosphere - make this an excellent experience. That said... The service was achingly slow on the food - but it was very busy on a Tuesday which I think is a good sign.

Randomly came across this bar on our Saturday walk... and really enjoyed some cocktails!!! Super impressed by the quality, when simplicity meats taste. Dragos was very knowledgeable, giving us lots of recommendations, so we loved the cocktails :) many thanks

This is a review of the Gasoline Grill pop-up It was ace; genuinely great burgers, both cheeseburger and chicken sandwich were super. Fries were fries. Space is lovely. It’s a nice calm spot, considering the mayhem of Kings Cross just outside, and will pop back in for a drink if ever in the area. Service was on point for my visit. Hopefully they continue to do some more cool pop-ups in the future

Came here for the Heinz x Morleys Pop up. That was pretty disappointing however the decor and atmosphere of the place was amazing. Well worth coming here for a date night or a quiet place to converse. Everything is reasonably priced and it's a easy location to get to. The service was amazing, I think if it wasn't for the chicken shop food and their regular menu it would have been better. However I was only interested in purchasing the sauce which was not actually for sale so another disappointment.
