It's a very interesting speakeasy concept. I'll highly recommend that you keep this as a pitstop, rather than the first stop of your evening.

Their cocktail menu was  very thoughtfully crafted, with many nice drinks put together by the amazing bartending team. We had The Merchant, the Cinema Paradiso, and the Bella Vita. Set the 5 of us back 90gbp in total.

Make sure you also tell the security "I'm here to see the Mayor", so that you can even get through!

Loved everything about it. Great vibe; good for dates or friends.

Drinks were great; Cinema Paradisio one of the best I’ve ever had. The deep fried goat cheese was to die for.

Fantastic speak easy! Service was smooth and food arrived quickly! Would recommend the goat cheese and hot honey. Love the Mayor's Tea Party as well! 😍

If you’re into speakeasies, this is your place. It’s a fantastic “hidden bar”experience (complete with a hidden passage through a fridge) and top-quality cocktails. Nothing I ordered was under 10/10. I especially recommend you order the Cinema Paradiso!

We took an amazing holiday to London and Scotland. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Such a wonderful place. Great hostess, bartender, and just all around a great time. We were there on a night that the grill was closed, so we didn’t eat there. (which we knew it wouldn’t be open, no surprise) Walking through the refrigerator was very cool. (No pun intended!) I recommend, if you ever get to London this needs to be on your to do list! You won’t be disappointed!
