### 5/5 — Why wouldn’t you?

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Super good value. A super simple concept and app. Really friendly people at the other end too. Kind of hard to justify why you wouldn’t!

### 5/5 — Cozzie Livs buster

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Such a great app to explore new bars in London. Great value for money!

### 5/5 — Amazing way to explore

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Got this app recently and I’ve discovered so many new places that I never would have without it! 10/10 app

### 5/5 — London Essential

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Moving to London, Citymapper and El Tab have been the MVPs for over a year now. So so good

### 5/5 — Key to Social Life in London

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

My partner signed me up to this app at the end of last year and it’s been a great way to explore new areas of the city I wouldn’t usually go to!
I tell anyone I can to sign up as the savings are so worth it! Mid-week cocktails are a must with ElTab 🍸🤍

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Such a great way to save money and discover new places. I don’t live in London but visit friends around twice a month and still find that I am saving money with this app so it’s amazing for everyone.

### 5/5 — An essential for any Londoner

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Tbh if you live in London this is an essential - like a gym membership it’s a must have. I’ve been a member since June 2020 and seen it grow from one venue a night to three.  Quite a few of my mates use it too which is great because it makes it easier to meet up and have a place picked for us - the list of bars on the app are always growing and it has quite a strong roster.  Good to explore some vars you wouldn’t have came across.

### 5/5 — The best app ever

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.0*

Making London nights more affordable🤩 it almost seems too good to be true- but it’s not! Using this app makes going out with friends on the regular much more possible! Great venues too :)

### 5/5 — (2nd) best app eva!

*2023-02-03, version 2.2.0*

Second only to my beloved citymapper, hands down the best app for London life!
My friends all think I’m on commission because I rave about it so much. 
Danke El Tab!

### 5/5 — If you live in London this is a must

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

Great if you can get your friends to use the app too!! It’s a great way to get your cocktail intake without breaking the bank!

### 5/5 — Great money saver

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

Such a great way to save money in London! Pays for itself - even if you just end up using once a month. Great recent addition of live music nights.

### 5/5 — Amazing way to explore london bars

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

Great app with lots of amazing bars across london! Also a great way to save money!!

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

Guys, this is a must-have: cool way to learn about London bars (because there are oh so many!) and save the budget too. And there’s also the thrill of waiting for the reveal every day!

### 5/5 — Best app in London

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

I use it with my friends at least once a month, el tab guarantees a great night!

### 5/5 — The GOAT!

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

Using this app has saved me hundreds of pounds and introduced me to some bars and locations that I'd have never thought to go before. Would 100% recommend

### 5/5 — The Best App in the World!

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

I love el tab and have been a member for over a year now. It’s the perfect app for London giving you insights into new bars as well as classic bars offering great drinks every day!! There are so many fun nights including mega tabs and music nights so honestly there’s no reason not to join and be part of the el tabo crew!

### 5/5 — Best Drinking App In London

*2022-12-16, version 2.2.0*

The best way to visit different bars in London with your mates

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-02-04, version 2.2.0*

Total waste of money. Bars are made available late in the day so you don’t really have time to plan/coordinate. Tab runs out quickly as loads of people go.

The app itself is very basic and glitchy. I cancelled my subscription after using it once and because of some technical error it wasn’t processed properly. I asked the founder (Oli) for a partial refund and he just flat out refused. He seems to be hiking the prices every month as well so think he cares more about money than the customers.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2025-04-11, version 2.4.7*

It’s me get drunk !

### 4/5 — Lost account

*2023-07-04, version 2.3.0*

At that time, I entered the wrong mailbox when I opened the account. Now I log out and cannot enter the original account, but it is still deducting money. I would like to ask how to get back the original account.

### 5/5 — The Leon Coffee Club for alcoholics 😜🍸

*2025-03-01, version 2.4.7*

An amazing way to save money on drinks in London, discover new bars or even just begin a night out with friends. My only feedback is I’d like to see El Tab continue to advertise the names of the venues in advance, and ideally to keep tabs going beyond midnight too if they haven’t already run out by that point 🙏

### 5/5 — Sophie

*2024-09-13, version 2.4.5*

Get it

### 5/5 — Best app I own by far!

*2024-09-06, version 2.4.5*

This app is incredible, you can save hundreds a month and gets you trying new places. All of the venues we’ve been to have been in good areas too. I honestly could not recommend this enough!

### 5/5 — LONDON’S worst kept secret ….

*2024-06-15, version 2.4.4*

Saving myself over £500 a month on drinks all because of this subscription - some great venues coming on too and the Megtab’s are the one 👍🏼

### 5/5 — The greatest app of all time

*2024-05-08, version 2.4.4*

This has changed my social life

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2024-04-25, version 2.4.4*

Insane app! Such an amazing idea as it saves you so much money!

### 5/5 — All Londoners - this will be the best app you’ll use

*2023-09-21, version 2.3.2*

I have been using this app for a couple of years now and it’s great to see the development and improvement over time. The owner Oli is a nice chap and he genuinely listens to feedback to ensure users have a good experience. 

It’s simply the best app you’ll come across (if you’re London based and drink alcohol). Myself and my friends have saved hundreds of pounds since we discovered El Tab. 
There is no catch and I personally have visited bars, pubs and even locations in London that I would never normally visit. 

The only (even slight negative) I can think of is that occasionally venues don’t seem to be prepared for hosting - they may not have enough bar staff and occasionally queues can be very long. This is absolutely NOT the fault of El Tab and the responsibility rests solely on the venue to ensure they’re ready for a very busy eve! 

All in all, a great app and you honestly can’t go wrong.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Not a Scam

*2023-05-22, version 2.3.0*

Genuinely thought this was too good to be true, but once you’ve been to one bar you’ve already made your subscription back and the rest of the month you literally get 4 free drinks every day. Have had a VERY social month! Fantastic app, great email support and a great concept all round. So much variety of bars too, they’re dotted around central London everywhere.

### 5/5 — This app is actually amazing.

*2023-02-24, version 2.2.0*

100% recommend

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-22, version 2.2.0*

Really like the concept for this app and the bars are great. I’ve been to loads of events and they’re all really fun
