    Cellar Door...a must see venue in London
    Sash R.

    After a business dinner, my local hosts insisted we visit Cellar Door...what a gem! This place is a throw back to another time; drinks like Mint Julip and Sidecar fill the menu while local cabaret singers entertain you with witty banter and respectable talent. For those from LA, Cellar Door is like an updated Dresden with a touch of additional class and fun. If you're looking for a small, cozy, warm and sophisticated bar to relax, have a drink and be entertained, this is a must see when in London.

    A tiny little number squeezed into Covent Garden's already crowded social scene, Cellar Door has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere despite its relatively high-end feel. Generally you will find the place full of city types who come here after work to take advantage of the late license and great mix of music. Other features include an SMS jukebox which allows you to text your favourite song and then here it played without ever having to get up. Drinks-wise this place has a great selection of cocktails though, being the West-End, prices are a little steep. A decent though not spectacular evening.

    I'm not sure how this place got so many good reviews. I guess it's my fault, I am just not into cabaret shows, as I saw other people enjoying. The place is small, however the mirrors make it seem larger than actual.The cocktails are really good, but pricey. Everyone got free popcorn on their table, which was good actually. If you are planning to visit the place - make a reservation in advance (and don't invite me on cabaret nights).

    A quirky, tiny, bijou, nicely decorated, kitch bar, that was originally a men's underground toilet, unless someone points it out to you, you wouldn't know it was there, clever use of mirrors, makes the tiny space seem more spacious, you need to be there early or be lucky to get a seat. I wouldn't advise it as a venue if there are more than 2-3 of you in a group, as it's unlikely you could find a spot to all easily stand/sit together. The cocktails are very tasty, but not cheap, so unless your flush cash wise, spending the night there will set you back quite a bit, but great for a cocktail or two, to get the night started before moving on. Somehow they also manage to fit entertainment in their limited space, which I have yet to experience this but I am curious to one day!

They helped us celebrate our anniversary with a glass of bubbles while we flipped through the book of drinks. Drinks are unlike anything I've seen on other menus with creative ingredients and presentations. We finally decided on the Bon Echo- which came in a beautiful glass that glowed blue from the base and held a small bird inside a clear globe. It was photo worthy and even better to drink. I also loved the Lucknow Cocktail- a brilliant combo of whisky, kombucha, lemon, vetiver and bergamot liqueur and champagne. It was the best champagne cocktail I can recall. Skyefall was a bit too smoky for me, but B enjoyed it. We also tried the rum-based Montego Boulevard which came with a small chocolate bowl filled with nuts. There's a small food menu with an OK edamame hummus tostada that was specked with daikon kimchi. I wish it had more of that yummy kimchi! My mind was blown by the sweet potato- a very thick slice coated in nuts and served with a green curry ice cream and spicy sambal. OMG- so many flavors and textures. Incredible. Definitely recommend this place.

As we descended the stairs we fell into an alternate universe where people were singing Ace of Base at the top of their lungs and dancing like "All That She Wants" was going to save us all. As if that wasn't awesome enough, the DJ followed it up with "The Sign" and the crowd roared. Talk about knowing your target audience! The bar was several people deep so ordering cocktails seemed pretty out of the question (not to mention rude) so the four of us drank Japanese beer instead. Too loud to converse with one another we had an amazing time watching everything going on around us: the super tall bloke with a popped collar polo shirt who had at least one arm in the air the entire time who knew the words to every song played, the folks attempting swing dancing in too small an area, the gigantic wall-size mirrors that made the place feel so much bigger than it was and several times confused us into thinking that the place had multiple rooms. The crowd consisted of folks ages twenty to fifty and had a large portion of young women who had, clearly, put in loads of effort for their big night out. More surprising to me, the older dudes in the striped shirts who appeared to have come into central London from a fairly far off exurb seemed just as at home here as the early twenties ladies in mini dresses and carefully applied makeup and super done hair. And me in my climate-appropriate outfit? I sensed the possibility of this place. I'll be back to sample the cocktails some weeknight soon.

In 9 out of 10 interactions, the staff were genuinely excellent--warm, attentive, and clearly trained in the fine art of making guests feel like royalty (as you'd expect at this price point). There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, a steady stream of live music drifting through the late afternoons into the evenings, and quite possibly the best cleaning and turn-down service I've ever encountered--truly next-level pillow fluffing. Now, my one gripe: the light--or lack thereof. Despite having three decently sized windows, they're covered in a mysterious film that blocks natural light more effectively than blackout curtains ever could. It gives the rooms (and oddly, the lobby too) a slightly subterranean vibe--perfect if you're a vampire, less ideal if you're someone who enjoys knowing whether it's day or night.

The space isn't a true speakeasy as there's a clear entrance you go to, vs finding the secret entrance and all that jazz. Aside from that, the vibe is moody and chill. Menus are in the books at the tables. They offer ala carte drinks or you can choose their 5 drink tasting menu which is popular. We all got the tasting menu, every person getting a different theme. Drinks are creative, whimsical, fun and playful. I'm not much of a drinker so I was concerned this would be a bit much for me, but this is about the experience, the drinks werent too big or overly boozy, or anything. The themes from the 39 euro tasting menu are: 1. Cocktail history. This is the most traditional drink direction 2. Naughty childhood. Drinks are candy and dessert based. Not necessarily overly sweet so don't worry about that. 3. Nature. 4. West meets east. Asian themed drinks. This was most creative and I wish I got this one. 5. Gourmet. French themed. This is the one that didn't get chosen from our group. 6. Get ready and go. London themed. All the drinks were super creative. There was so much thought around presentation put into them. And they update their drinks regularly. I'll definitely come back so I can try more of the other themes. Note. They have very very minimal snacks available so make sure you eat ahead of time.

The decker is also very trendy with the dimly lit speakeasy vibe. The service was great. Cannot wait until I'm in London again to go back and try another one of the options on the tasting menu.
