While we were waiting to "meet the Mayor" we saw three groups try to walk up and be told it would be at least two hours. Even if it's becoming more mainstream, I still love the idea of speakeasies, and the little song and dance to get in to "see" The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town was a fun twist. It's an interesting spot because the primary bar is nothing to look at really, though for us Americans who grew up in the 80's the name ("The Breakfast Club") obviously sucks you in. But to get into Scaredy Cat Town, you definitely should make an online reservation. They're not hard to lock down, but we tried to get something on Thursday for Saturday and they only had bar seats left. Totally fine for just the two of us. When you walk in, you just tell them you're there to see the Mayor and within a few minutes, you are whisked through the door of an oddly placed refrigerator (yes, I've blown the surprise, but the "scaredy" cat is out of the bag by now anyway). The place is pretty much a dive, with an overabundance of random knick-knacks, signs, and what-not. Funky, funny, eclectic - you get it. But don't let that mislead your impression - it's a serious cocktail bar. They've got a wide range of original concoctions to choose from, and both the presentation and tastiness of our selections were excellent. The bartenders are friendly, and the music that night was essentially a playlist of one- and two-hit wonders from the 80's (again, right in our wheelhouse!). Totally fun, and a great way to start off our night! I wholeheartedly recommend that you schedule a meeting with the Mayor soon!

We have visited two other Foggs venues and decided, suddenly one evening, to try Mrs Foggs Dockside…read moreDrinkery & Distillery in Broadgate. What a wonderful surprise and 'difference' in décor and service. On arriving at Broadgate the sounds of music hit our ears. We were, obviously, going the right way. As the circle opened in front of us it was going to be a fun few hours as everyone was dancing away. That was the first difference from the previous two Mr. Foggs. It was, we think, the inspiration of Mrs. Fogg. Another difference was you ordered at the bar and you took the drinks to your table. Cocktails were delicious but not quite as elaborate, nor were the glasses but that needed to be as most were being drunk outside. A mixture of all age groups and I include ourselves as we were the oldest there but never felt uncomfortable. Music was, as I said, LOUD. Everyone was having fun, as we were too. OK next stop will be the Gin Parlour, at some point in time. We love the Foggs venues for their quirkiness and individuality. For their different, unique, cocktails. Of course, the friendliness of the staff must be mentioned. That goes a long way. See you soon.

This is where things went south for me. The tofu tasted off, like it went bad in the sauce. I thought the first time was an off night but the second night with a different curry dish also with tofu, I am not sure if something was off in the sauce or what the tofu may have been marinated.. but I did not eat more than the first bite on my second night in. I stuck with the apps and yummy drinks. Definitely a fun spot for happy hour, good vibes, good tunes and good drinks.

It has big speakeasy vibes with the non-descript entrance, the basement location, and the dark lighting. There are also spools of thread hung around the ceiling which is a cute touch.

The drinks were all delicious and we would've stayed for more than 2 drinks if we didn't already have later plans. Would definitely recommend this place for those who love cocktails!

We came on a Friday night and it was so packed, it was stuffy and hot. And that was before the DJ showing up! We grabbed a drink and left shorting because it was way too packed (it's not a big spot), the lounge area was reserved so everyone else had to hang at and by the bar. I guess the fun part was finding the spot.

We ended up staying much longer because it's just so. damn. great. There was plenty of seating on a Sunday night. The bar is industrial-chic, graffitied, darkly lit, and spacious. The bartenders are attentive and loads of fun. And the happy hour deal is killer: 2 for 1 drinks! Everything we ordered was fantastic. We got 2 of the Earl Grey Sour (served in a teacup!), and 2 of the Death of a Cucumber Salesman. You can taste the earl grey tea in the sour, which I appreciate. And the cucumber cocktail was exactly what we wanted: refreshing and light. I would consider moving to London for this bar, I loved it so much. I ended up buying their Cocktail Bible to take home: a gorgeously illustrated hardcover book with all of their cocktail recipes, meticulously laid out -- all for 25 GBP. I'll be back soon!
