Went for my birthday and had a fantastic experience, great cocktails with a nice price point! Shout out to our server last night, didn't get her name but she was very sweet and added to the good vibes. The strawberry fizz, vesper, gangsta's paradise, and dry aged Manhattan were a treat 👌.

I had my 40th birthday party here on Saturday night. Elliott and Rory were super responsive and so easy to deal with from the start. They were so accommodating and made the process stress free. I hadn’t seen the venue in person as I live in Aberdeen but my sister viewed it and let me know it was perfect. I was delighted when I arrived at the venue, one of my friends also pointed out it was ‘very me’.

Service was fantastic, drinks were amazing and the food was delicious and I had a fab night. Will definitely be back in for some drinks next time I’m in London.

A really cozy little Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia bar with some of the best bar snacks I’ve had - the mango chutney, samosa greens - so nice. I had my first cocktail made with Manifest and it was lovely. Go on a week night, nearing closing and enjoy a dinner, small plates with nice drinks. Probably great with students nearby too - should look into their discounts, happy hours and corkage policies too!

We walked by and decided to pop in.
Were blown away -  as all 3 cocktails were superb (and so well priced for the location).

Liked the fact that they don’t add service charge so it is actually discretionary (and we did add generously though).

The “gangsters paradise” was the best one and loved the spoonful of sorbet which was a nice touch.
