What a fun little drink spot! Went here with work colleagues after work and they have a great two for one special that goes until 7 or 8pm. The first drink we ordered was a cinema themed drink so had a "caramel popcorn" flavor. It was so fun and so unique. Really sweet but I enjoyed it and it came in a fun "glass". The second drink was not at all my taste but I split it with a friend so it was fine You order at the bar and they were pretty fast in getting us our orders. Would definitely go back. Only downside is that the music is quite loud. read more

Cool speakeasy underneath the Breakfast Club. You can take the elevator, or ask someone to input a code for the door. In terms of the cocktails, they're alright, but nothing special. Most were £8.50. They mostly had clever names though. I had the Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A Bee, which was a gin cocktail. read more

To get in to this barGo to the restaurant, The Breakfast Club, then when the waitress greets you, you have to say "I want to get lucky" she leads you down through the restaurant into a staircase and down through the kitchen you enter a dive bar with a Tiki feel. drinks are great, tequila based but I had the mule and it was good! Good for an intimate date or a few friends out for a speakeasy! Worth a visit and you definitely feel special considering it's a secret entrance. Go here in London!!! read more

Since my last visit the cocktail menu has changed and it's sooooo much better now. They were all quirky unusual flavours before which didn't work in my opinion (and those of my colleagues and friends). Who wants to drink a cocktail tasting of horseradish or rocket? The only cocktail we did like before is still on the menu - quince dreams. The others have more usual cocktail flavours although none are standard so it's a little different but nice to try. I had a 'rhubarb no custard', which was refreshing and delicious but not as rhubarby as I hoped, and I had 'the pink one'. It was late at this point and we'd been out for a few hours so I'm afraid I can't remember what was in it but it was fruity and delicious, just not very alcoholic. There was a more fun atmosphere this time with a great mix of music. We also got to spin the wheel! My friend spun it, got spin again and then got the best one...free shots for everyone in the bar so the staff came round with tequila for all! Such a fun night. I'd just like to see slightly cheaper drinks. read more

Earlier that day I had glanced at my traveling companion and mentioned to her that we should try to find a speakeasy-style bar to wet our whistle at before we left the city. After some pretty amazing Indian food, we were investigating the bar 'sitch when Yelp suggested Call Me Mr. Lucky. Unsure what kind of "cocktail bar" we were investigating, I checked out the reviews to discover we had stumbled upon the speakeasy we were looking for. Enter the cafe, and tell the hostess that you're looking for Mr. Lucky. She'll ask you for a password (no, I will not tell you what it is, but I'm sure someone else in their review has), and lead you to the back, into the kitchen, through a freezer door, and down the stairs to a dimly lit (okay, let's be real and call it dark) room with crazy decorations and Mr. Lucky behind the bar. There's a pretty short list of drinks, but Mr. Lucky is nothing if not accommodating. Sarah S., feeling perturbed at the current state of American politics, ordered herself a Trump, which came complete with a tuft of cotton candy "hair." I forget which other drinks we partook of that evening, but they were tasty and reasonably priced (£8 each). Mr. Lucky, in addition to owning such an establishment, is also a fine conversationalist, so sit at the bar and chat with the guy. Definitely not as flashy and dramatic as some bars of the same style, but I think it adds to the ambiance, rather than taking away from it. So if you're feeling lucky... read more

Oh god, I love a password. That's an extra star right there. It's not *quite* the dramatic secret entrance that one craves at a speakeasy - can we go down a slide in the back a wardrobe? or take the stairs behind the rotating shower cubicle? - but nevertheless, you still can't get into the bar without knowing it's there, and being taken by a patient member of staff. And downstairs is pretty cool. Dark, but cool. Subterranean chic - bit cavey. I really like the booth at the back in particular. The cocktails have improved MASSIVELY (I've been twice) - the first time almost all of them were tequila based, which is a problem if you don't like tequila. They had a lot more range this time, plus I went off menu for a couple, which was fine, even if the guy at the bar obviously wanted me to stick to the suggestions. However, they said they were changing the menu the next day, so who knows what it's like now! It doesn't seem very organised. They missed the spinning wheel a couple of times while I was there (I'm sure we could have gone and asked but it feels like they should instigate it). Plus I tried to book the booth 2.5 days before I was turning up, and after some intermittent email responses only actually got anything like confirmation...the day after I'd booked for. It can also be quite quiet in the earlier evening (or even a bit later) - feels like it might need to be a bit less of a secret! But it is a bit exciting and charming and a good spot to show off how cool you are for a bit. I should know, I'm pretty cool. read more

Neat little place. The house shot is possibly too intense. The jalapeño shot was vile but the coconut water was super delicious after that. The cocktails are really tasty in general, well crafted, strong and flavourful. Bar staff have a massive spinning wheel as well which has lots of weird options on it. In the end one of the bar staff had to sing the whole of the The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme tune read more

Now I like this place. Hidden away, seating available, cubby holes for private conversations away from everyone. No fighting to get to the bar and you can hear a conversation. What more do I want!!!! Love the fact that, if you take someone who doesn't know anything about secret codes and being lead through a back way into a secret location has them confused as to where the hell are you taking them :) Great unusual cocktails and waiting staff who are generally quick to turn around the order. I will be back and back and back again :) read more

Although speakeasies are all the rage now that they kinda defeat the point, I still think nothing is more exciting than finding a speakeasy. And this was another goody. With the codeword being "I'm here to get lucky", the waitress could not have been happier that my mate just came out with it rather than shied away from it's hilarity. Although it's an awkward walk through the kitchen to a basement door, the waitress chatted with us all the way and was uber friendly. Behind the shabby door is an awesome little nook of a place, with chinese colourful laterns all over the ceiling, and little cubby seats hidden away in arched rooms. It's rough, stoney and 'rustic', but absolutely awesome, with a great atmosphere. This is heightened by a wheel behind the bar with different rewards/forfeits. Some lucky customer (pun intended shamelessly) span it and got a free shot for the whole bar - who doesn't like a free cheeky shot of tequila! We went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't too busy, but I imagine at the weekend it's small size is an issue.I can't say I'm a huge fan of the cocktails. We tried a few and they weren't incredible. They sounded odd and interesting, but they were required tastes (a little too sour, or bland). The beer however was fine and great value for money. All-in-all, a great night I won't be forgetting in a hurry! Will certainly go back! read more

Another fun breakfast club speakeasy. I love the diner decor upstairs in the Breakfast Club area, and the speakeasy has a real fun laidback, tropical feel. The seating areas in the speakeasy are quite intimate. The two of us got their early and sat by ourselves in a circular booth in a little nook. Later in the evening when the place got busier we were joined be other drinkers - the booths mean if you're a couple you'll probably make some friends. We had a great time. I can't say I was a huge fan of the unusual cocktails (mushy peas and wasabi...really??) but they were what I would call 'an experience'. Ultimately I prefer Scaredy Cat but this place is a great option too. read more

Errr....Maybe I went on the wrong day but the drinks weren't strong when I went- despite the previous reviews. I'm so short that 2 drinks will keel me over, but nope, i had 3 drinks here and no water in between and I was still only just buzzing. The drinks weren't great. The bourban pear and the day of the dead (with mezcal one?!) but the bloody criminal was bloody awful. Grant T would have slated it to high heavens. It was tomato juice with spice and nothing else. Also Maybe it's me, but it was so secret that there was no one in the bar. But then again, it was mid week and maybe people are sensible... Pass this one and head to the Mayor for HELLUVA better drinks and atmosphere. (The bartenders are way friendlier at the Mayor) read more

Lots of fun for sure! I got chosen to spin the wheel because it was my birthday. I landed on the "buy shots for staff"... I get a agreed to do whatever it landed on but they also made me wait 45 minutes to spin the wheel when we were going to hop to another bar with friends and somehow got screwed. I know that's my bad luck but even on my birthday I had to purchase 4 bartenders their shots? That sucks. Even when I was like heck no and tried to leave they made me feel like I was in trouble. NO ONE wants to buy shots for strangers on their birthday that honestly is the biggest buzz kill you can dream of. If you want a fun bar this is it but maybe don't go near the wheel of DOOM and don't let the bartenders trick you into thinking "you'll get a prize" as long as you complete the task which actually thinking about it I never received my "prize" and I did in fact buy shots for the bartenders. Freaking £16 later... and I got nothing out of it. Awesome read more

Had high hopes but int the end in turned out to be a terrible experience. Ordered some cocktails and food but right before we finished to eat we were told we simply have to leave the table as they need the table for a reservation. Call me Mr Unlucky because there was no "Reserved" sign when we got there but still got kicked away from out table. Probably not going to go there anytime soon! read more

That was a hoot. A hidden bar downstairs from Breakfast Club with a carefully constructed dive bar feel. They serve cocktails, play tunes and a wheel is spun every hour with a chance of free drinks. I'm in. Ok so no one received any free drinks the time I visited, but I did learn the 'Candy Dance' and can electric slide with the best of them. So basically I am a winner too. Huzzah, I will visit again if in need to some spontaneous fun in the area. read more

Starting out at 4pm on Sunday afternoon with the aim of heading to the bar hasn't been the best idea I've had, but it hasn't been the worst either. Meeting up at London Bridge, we walked through the doors of the Breakfast Club and waited for the hostess. When she arrived, I slightly uncertainly said the password. She blinked, then said she had to check whether it was open yet (turns out we were an hour early! I could have sworn it was 4pm), walked down the line and promptly disappeared through a doorway. And that was it, she was gone for quite a while, people behind us in line, asked what we had said to her, but we just said we wanted a table! After a while she was back, and led us through the restaurant, while picking up a swipe card from a fellow member of staff. Taking us to the back of the restaurant, she swiped through a door before leading us down a flight of stairs, through the kitchen pass and then into a dark basement where the bar was to be found. We were the only patrons there to begin with, although various groups of people came through. It's quite dark in there, we used the candle to read the menus, the music is a good dose of the nineties, songs I hadn't heard in years. We sat at the bar under Christmas lights strung across the ceiling with little Chinese lanterns adorning each fairy bulb. A nice touch. The drinks were good, and it's worth explaining how they are made. Quite a few are premixed in little cough syrup bottles, that then have the required alcohol added to them before being served to you alongside a glass of ice. The bar is meant to be designed as a quick serve place and most of the cocktails are designed on this principle. We sampled 4 in all, Quince Dreams (a take on a gin and tonic, with peppercorn, cardamom and coriander), Shrub me Tender (Tequila with kumquat, pineapple, ginger, lemon and a wheat beer), Ruby Murray (Tandoori (!) infused bourbon with Cointreau, lemon and egg white) and a Warner Brothers (popcorn infused Monkey Shoulder, with maple syrup and some other bits). Surprisingly the last two were the best, with the Ruby Murray being the unlikely favourite, who knew Tandoori spice would go so well in a cocktail! I really recommend you try it. Between the two rounds, we had some food, surprisingly they serve a different menu downstairs to the main restaurant, and on the menu are burgers, wings, fries and mac n cheese. I went for a buttermilk chicken burger, while Kate had the Lucky burger - bacon and blue cheese and we split an order of fries. They guy told us that the chicken could take 15 mins but that was fine with us, as we still had drinks. The food was really good, the chicken still juicy and tender, the lucky burger had a good 'blue' flavour, not too overpowering and the blue 'crust' adding a different edge to it. Personally, I really liked it! It's going to be a new 'secret' bar for me. Although we ended up going to The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town as well that day, this one is definitely my favourite of the two! read more

Cool bar tucked away from the regular after work crowds. Eclectic cocktail menu with some interesting combinations and skilled bar men (however avoid the Thai Green Lemongrass Margarita unless your into curry tasting cocktails). Reasonable prices. Good music, quite varied, not cheesy. You get in through the cafe upstairs and have to say "I want to get lucky" to one of the wait staff in order to be led through the kitchen and down the stairs into the bar. Really cool experience. read more

Went here a few nights ago with a group of friends, and what a delight it was. We were greeted by a not so subtle doorman but this made as more laugh than anything. Once inside the allure of the dimly lit decor enticed the soul and gave us the first impression of wow. The night was busy, packed in fact but even with only two people behind the bar we got served quickly and with a smile, the first round was strong, the second not so but with all the flavour still there it didn't quite matter. It came to the end of the night and we all didn't want to leave but we will all definitely be back and spread the word. The only negative would be the uncleanness of the toilets but this is an easy thing to improve on, you can't buy character and atmosphere of which Call me Mister Lucky as an abundance. read more
