    Corpse Reviver
    Jasper H.

    My first time stumbling out for drinks and I'm glad I came across K Bar. Located inside The Kensington, K Bar is nicely hidden from the main commoners that are just walking by. First impressions are lasting. The greeter Thomas confirmed with my friend and I that this was the correct location for K Bar and lead us in to the hostess who was also super friendly. We were seated immediately and given a few moments to settle down. The establishment is nicely lit with warm lighting and table lamps with ample space between parties. Perfect for catching up with a friend or date night. Hehe We ordered the Widow's Kiss and Corpse Reviver. Both drink full of bold flavor and well mixed. All the staff kept on checking in with my friend and I to make sure we found everything ok, and we certainly did. Full score in my book. See you next time!

We came here for an evening drink after a long day and my friends were really impressed with the set up. The place is a little small than what I expected bit that's not problem because we had a lot of fun and we enjoyed our nice table by the window with a street facing view. Music was also the right tune for this venue. My friends had a glass of wine each and I had the house swedish cocktail which was concoted perfectly. The hot dogs and the cheese platters were a thing to remember too. All in all it's a superb venue and we'll make our new hangout place.The highlight of the evening was the bar manager Ebba, she was really attentive and looked after us in a cool way. Tusen tack .

Kosmopol is similar to Eclipse in that it has a small intimate lounge upstairs and a larger louder dance club downstairs. It specialises in carefully made intricate drinks, including a fresh watermelon martini. The lounge is a good place to take a first date, the club is good for a group of friends on a South Ken dance crawl. As for the 1761s, I'm a big fan of French 75s but I have to admit that the pineapple twist won me over. I'll be back for more.

    The Bletchley - Welcome drinks and our first puzzle: opening the box

    I can't express how much I loved this place. How much WE loved this place. It was totally a random…read morepull - one night, my husband was browsing one of those "things you MUST do when visiting London" articles, and I briefly saw "The Bletchley" as he scrolled down the page. I made him click on the link, saying "Bletchley like the Circle? Like the code breakers?" And sure enough, it was exactly like that. It's an escape room mixed with a puzzle room mixed with a lot of alcohol. A LOT of alcohol. They bill it as a mix between Alan Turing and Sherlock Holmes, both names that I adore. We were intrigued, and after a bit of research made our reservations online. (Reservations definitely required, and you have to pay beforehand, just heads up.) We were giddy as we walked down the stairs into the basement to check in for our experience. They immerse you in their world the second you step foot inside the threshold, calling you "agent", giving you instructions and helping you with your Army-style jacket. Your "contact" walks you through your "Enigma Machine" and your "radio" and then sets you off on your first puzzle: opening the box to start the game. I'm not going to spoil any of the puzzles, but I will tell you that you get a personalized drink for each puzzle you solve. AND, you get a welcome cocktail. So, if you're solving two puzzles, you get 3 drinks in total. The drinks are created for you based on the answers you provide to the puzzles you solve. There's a bit of a sniff test and a taste test for that first round, but after that, the talented bartenders use the answers you provide to craft drinks you're sure to love. We had planned on doing only 2 puzzles because realistically, I'm a lightweight when it comes to booze in general, and fairly useless when it comes to liquor. But, we were having so much fun, and the drinks were SO incredibly tasty (easy to drink, let me tell you!) that when our "contact" came back to ask if we wanted one more puzzle, we both immediately said, "Of course we want another puzzle, crazy woman!" Or something along those lines. Friends, the puzzles are super easy. After solving our first one, the second "contact" asked if we wanted the easy or difficult version for the next round. We were feeling cocky (and tipsy), so we asked for the difficult one. It's not that difficult! But, as we were sitting there, we noticed that the group next to us - they'd come in about 15 minutes after us - was struggling to answer their puzzle. We thought, "Oh no, the contact gave us the easy puzzle for sure!" So when the contact came back to ask if we wanted the final puzzle, and we answered yes, we thought we'd be struggling like the group of four next to us. I mean, we *had* been drinking hard alcohol for an hour, and we were feeling pretty warm and fuzzy, so of course, our brains would be slow and not so willing to make logical connections, right? WRONG! We solved that puzzle in less than 5 minutes and sat back wondering how drunk the group next to us was that they bumbled around for almost 20 minutes trying to find the answer. Anyway, the drinks are to die for. The welcome drink was gin-based, and I almost told the guy to take it back (gin and me? SO not on friendly terms). But, my husband asked me to give it a try, and two seconds later, the cup was empty. I enjoyed the three drinks that were crafted specifically for me, but that first drink - with its fresh fruit and its tease of a burnt sugar flavor - left me wanting more. If you're about experiences, good drinks and great times, this is definitely a spot you're going to want to visit. Plan on spending at least 3 hours here (if you want to soak up all the...uh...puzzles...that is), and definitely plan on having a ride back home.

The WW2 spycraft theming was top notch, and you even get to play dress up in an army jacket. Overall we had a great time, and apparently there are a few different puzzles that you can get, so one could totally do the Bletchley again and have a completely different experience. While I did truly enjoy our time in the bar, we had a few hiccups. Checking in to the space was a little odd; you actually let the host at the restaurant upstairs know, and they have you awkwardly wait around at the restaurant bar until someone from the Bletchley comes and gets you. Y'all, we waited a while. I'm not sure what the hold up was, but we definitely didn't start on time. Also our final puzzle was kind of a dud, and I say this as someone who loves escape rooms. Without spoiling anything, we weren't informed that we might need to leave our table and explore the bar for clues, so it never occurred to us to do that. (The puzzle also required us to reference a part of the bar that we didn't know existed.) Most of us loved our drinks, but one of my friends felt that two of his custom cocktails were way too similar in that they were both aggressively sweet, and was disappointed that the bartenders didn't change things up. We also had some minor service issues (one of the servers was helping us but got distracted by another table, we had to remind them three times that we were there for a birthday, etc.). But despite a few small things, the Bletchley is still a very unique and interesting experience that I definitely recommend doing. In fact, now that I know more of what to expect I would definitely visit it again should I have the opportunity.
