About Double Standard
Double Standard is a London venue with basics that make it easy to place for casual plans: the listed price is $25 per person, the dress code is casual, the opening hours run from 12 PM daily into late evening or after midnight depending on the day.
The main reason to consider Double Standard is direct convenience. It opens at 12 PM every day, closes at 12 AM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday, stays open until 1 AM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. That schedule gives it more flexibility than venues with a narrower evening-only window, while the casual dress code keeps the planning low-pressure.
A casual London option with long daily hours
Double Standard is best understood through the details: London location, casual dress code, $25 per person pricing, long daily opening hours.
That narrower framing is intentional. London has many options, but the confirmed information for Double Standard does not support claims about cuisine, menu format, chef, awards, seating, service style, or a specialist drinks program. If your decision depends on those details, confirm them directly before visiting.
The right choice when convenience beats ceremony
Consider Double Standard when the basics are enough: a casual dress code, a $25 per person price point, hours that cover midday through late night. It is especially useful for plans where flexibility matters and the group does not need a highly specific format confirmed in advance.
There are no confirmed awards, named chef, signature dishes, cuisine details, seat counts, or specialist beverage claims in the available facts. The honest verdict is therefore simple: Double Standard may suit a casual London plan, but anyone seeking a particular menu, atmosphere, or service style should verify those details directly before committing.

Where to go if this is not the fit
If wine is the reason for the outing, choose Noble Rot Lamb's Conduit before Double Standard. If the group wants a more casual aperitif-bar feel, Vermuteria is the sharper alternative.
For a livelier group plan, Bloomsbury Lanes or Mestizo Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar will likely make more sense than a hotel-bar meet-up.
Bar context
How it compares
Double Standard is the practical King's Cross choice in this group: easy to place in an evening, open late across the week, better suited to a casual drink than a specialist wine session. Bloomsbury Lanes is better when the group wants an activity attached to the night, while Double Standard is cleaner for a drink-led meet-up.
For wine interest, Noble Rot Lamb's Conduit and Vermuteria are stronger cross-shops. Pick Noble Rot when the bottle list and food matter; pick Vermuteria when the aperitif-bar lane is the brief. Double Standard wins on location convenience rather than cellar depth.
Kimpton Fitzroy is the closer comparison for hotel-bar mood, especially if Bloomsbury is the target area. Mestizo Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar is the better call for tequila, Mexican food, a louder group night. For a low-effort King's Cross plan, Double Standard is the easier booking; for a more defined drinks identity, cross-shop first.
