The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town - Divey but fun!

Why I'll go back: it's a fun vibe with great cocktails You…read moreHAVE to order: can only speak to the drinks, but getting something with "smoke" always adds a little more excitement Tony's Tip: absolutely make a reservation. 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!

A speakeasy so secret, even the people working across the street didn't know it was there. I won't…read morespoil any secrets on how to get in... but it was definitely one of the main highlights of our week-long stay in London! The staff were incredibly friendly, the drinks were AMAZING and so creative (one of my drinks came in a tiny coffee pot), and the atmosphere was very fun.

I had a lifelong dream of spending some time as a Kindergarten teacher but after some drinks at The…read moreBlind Pig, I think I'd want to tend the bar here ! The menu itself is brilliantly designed with throw backs to childhood classic characters among the likes of Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, Narnia characters, Harry Potter and my favorite childhood author, Roald Dahl. Loved the illustrations and the drinks to match. Of course you have to try all of them. Can't guarantee you'll remember all the charming conversations shared with your fellow bar patrons or lovely bartenders but you'll walk out feeling quite delightful. The noise level was perfect and added to our continued date night from downstairs at the Social Eating House.

Found this gem on Yelp! & Google and it did not disappoint! We love checking out speak easy bars in…read moreLondon and this one was great. Look for the hidden door next to the restaurant and slither your way through a passage of stairs. The service at the front was very nice, everyone was very friendly. We showed up an hour early and they were kind enough to accommodate us. We tried a few of the cocktails from the menu and were very happy. Drinks were pretty well balanced and not too sweet or too strong. I did ask for an off menu drink that was gin based with citrus and not a basic classic cocktail hoping the bartender could drum up a surprise for me that I can't make at home and they brought me a gimlet. It was delicious though so no complaints. Overall great experience and I would recommend!
