    A great speak-easy lounge in Marylebone. Well worth a visit. It's a sprawling cavernous underground place. Excellent ambiance with turn of the century decor and prohibition era music. The staff was exceptionally friendly and chatty. Book a table here for an after drink cocktail---you will love it! The drinks are fantastic and creative. My friend ordered the Mr Hyde's special---which was a rum based drink served in a sealed poison bottled in a case of smoking liquid nitrogen. It's a bit hard to explain, but do check out my photo---never had a drink like that. I had the Tommy's which sadly had no smoke or liquid nitrogen but was still a nice take on a margarita. Note you need a reservation to go here. They do not allow you to stand at the bar. No worries, though you can book a table on their web-site.

    Top Cocktails in a very super cool speakeasy feel venue... There are lots of nooks to huddle into and enjoy some high end cocktails with friends. Really enjoyed the drinks here; the cocktails are laid on with the most eccentric theatrics all of which just add to quite an awesome night! Staff were friendly, attentive regularly checking if we were OK and taking drink orders. Only down side, as we came to the end of our reservation we were notified the next party had arrived so to move it along, we still had nearly 15mins left and again, with 5mins left on the table we were pretty much shipped out that we couldn't even settle the bill at the table. A little more courtesy here would be nice

    Been here last night and i'm glad i went for it. During the week it's not packed, but don't take your chances and book online, it takes 30 seconds, even on your phone. Very user friendly. The bar is on the lower level, so you won't see it on the street. There is just a sign and stairs to get down. Inside the atmosphere is very good, i was there on a Monday evening and despite they were playing live music (jazz) the volume was not too high and we could have a noce chat and enjoy our drinks. The cocktails are something else, we tried 6 of them and ejoyed them all. Some do not just taste good, they are also presented in a spectacular way (try the fog cutter before they change to the new menu). Already booked another visit.

    This place is a hidden gem. We sat by the bar as we had no reservations and showed up to grab drinks before dinner elsewhere. The bartenders were both very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending drinks. They answered all our questions and made some of the most innovative drinks I've seen. I mean a whisky based drink that looks like creme brûlée and is served with cheesecake?! What!! So delicious. Apparently the menu is changing for the winter now, so may not be able to get these drinks again. Definitely a quiet and cozy place to great cocktails with friends

    Cocktail o'clock never gets boring ;)

    Definitely my favourite pick so far from the speakeasy wave that has flooded London. I found it more interesting and intimate than most of the others I've been to, and without falling into the style-over-substance trap. Make a reservation in advance as it's pretty busy, though the nice thing is you don't really notice it when you're in there as there's all sorts of nooks and crannies and little tables in alcoves around every corner, so you can still get some privacy (though admittedly there was a couple sat opposite us that were exposed enough for us to hear some pretty painful first date chat!!). The drinks are imaginative but crucially still tasty - enjoy the novelty value of some dry ice, silly straw specs, and my personal fave, the 'detonated lemon' of the Cerez Joker (I won't ruin it for you ;) They also bring out little munchies which is always a win. And in case you weren't enjoying the secret drinking den feel enough, the live jazz band later on are awesome. Best to book a pre-dinner slot I think so that you don't lose track of time and end up spending a bomb - also I err found it only takes one of their cocktails to feel a little wobbly... :-$

    Cute, romantic, hidden little cocktail hideaway. You seek refuge from the rain at this secret of a place, on a quiet, rainy night. As you head downstairs, you aren't prepared for the cocktail world you're about to enter. You open the door, and it hits you. Dimly-lit corner tables, live jazz, leather sofas and chandeliers tucked away in different corners of the bar. The menu is inventive, unique, and offers a large variety of cocktails, hard liquor, and beer. If anything, I wish they offered more vodka cocktails. The service was a bit slow, as there was only one waiter.

    Walked past this on many occasions and checked out what it was about on Yelp so was excited about coming here. Booked easily on line. Don't get confused by this, you are not booking dinner but just a table in this wonderful establishment. We came here on a Wednesday evening so it was relatively quiet although a fair number of people were coming as we left. We only came for a quick drink but after being showed to our table and left with the menus to look at, it took a while for them to return to take our order. We were near the point of going to the bar to get our drinks. Eventually they came and took our orders. The cocktails were wonderfully presented which makes you feel like you are out for a special treat. You don't get your common cocktails here which is part of the fun to taste these great creations. The cocktails are not cheap so, maybe not the place to stay all night but great place to start or end a night with their quaint seating areas which give you privacy and easy to talk with just background music adding the the atmosphere. Will definitely be back

    The Moch Distiller (after the entertaining heating and pouring) and the Puffing Devil (ice cream malt in hand, not photo)

    Let me start by saying that while entertaining, the Mr.Hyde is a rather underwhelming drink. So, unless you're just into the presentation and are not prepared for something on the strong side, avoid this. Both my friend and I had a hard time finishing just one together. That being said, I really REALLY liked this bar. It's a bit cramped if you come with just one other person. Don't expect a lush sofa or privacy for just the two of you if you're on some sort of date. I fortunately was not and did not have an issue with this. In this bar, I think I had two of the best drinks I will have in my life. We'll see if I have to come back and change this statement. Those two drinks would be the Moch Distiller (which I liked so much I had twice) and the Puffing Devil (which was actually what my friend was having, but of course I had a taste and it was a very worthy combination). If only I lived in London and could get my hands on another Moch Distiller, that would be heaven. Unfortunately this bar takes reservations and closes at midnight and we didn't get the memo, so we only had a bit of time to try things out later in the evening when fewer people were filling the seats, but I'd say based on what we had some drinks are just hit or miss. But as far as service and honest recommendations based on your preferences, you can't lose. Tell them what you like and what you don't like, and they won't lead you wrong. You might even get something specially made for you if there is nothing on the menu that suits your tastes.

    Quirky glass (metal?) ware keeping my cocktail cool.

    If you're in London and love well-crafted drinks, check out this place. Get the Mr. Hyde rum drink. You won't be disappointed!
