    Do reserve your place in advance. Highly recommended for date night. Cocktails are superior. Their cheese collection is brilliant. Staff is warm and friendly. Must visit place in London.

    Delicious tiny cocktail bar. An immediate favorite. Had a fantastic Whisky Sour and the service was impeccable. The bar was crowded but they manage to find a place for us, at the piano!

    My favourite cocktail. The Santeria. Smoky and interesting, smells amazing - tastes as good as it smells, try it. Beautiful but deadly. Definitely a cocktail you won’t forget.

    Really special little cocktail bar. Best to book - I have loved everything I've ever tasted here and the waiters are all lovely too. Like a little speakeasy off Essex Road.

    Certainly the most goth cocktail ever - frankincense, patchouli, jasmine and pink pepper. Tastes good but you can tell it is deadly, also it comes in. TINY glass.

    The absolutely delicious Woodland Martini isn't on the list, but worth asking for. Try their weird spirits, distilled in London from Mediterranean herbs, rocks and perfume ingredients.

    Sit at the bar and chat to the bartenders while you watch them at work. Precision cocktail making in great glassware. Staff are excellent and very knowledgeable for recommendations.

    Possibly amongst the best quality cocktails in London. Interesting without just being gimmicky. It's TINY though, so be sure to book a table.

    It used to be my favourite cocktail bars in London. In 2021 they switched half of the cocktails to preprepared ones. No more free appetiser cocktail. Prices went up though. A little disappointing.

    A veteran of five World’s 50 Best Bars lists, Tony Conigliaro’s seminal north London location remains one of the must-see bars in the capital.

    Look out for a lantern on 69 Colebrooke Row and step into the laboratory of the cocktail legend himself, Tony Conigliaro. You can't help but appreciate the dedication to the craft at this bar.

    It's definitely intimate - there's only 10 small tables - but that is definitely part of its charm. Excellent waitress, tasty & unusual cocktails. Well worth a visit! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Got a free cocktail, a "Prairie Oyster" - tomato yolk, vodka, sherry, shallots, pepper, celery salt & herbs - served like an oyster. Not something I would usually try, but it was absolutely delicious.

    Great cocktails, but if you show up without a reservation they'll seat you on the stairs of shame. They usually find you a table after about 15 mins in my experience, provided its not too busy.

    Superb cocktails! Well worth a visit if you value mixology and expertly crafted booze. Their cocktails / spirit masterclasses are also 10/10

    The deconstructed Bloody Mary is fantastic! Recommend booking a seat though as the bar is rather small.

    Make a booking or you'll end up drinking your delicious cocktail on the stairs. Don't worry; you'll have a great view of the pianist.

    Two absolute musts on the menu: Woodland Martini and Terroir. Try to sit at the bar, the interaction with the mixologists just add to the whole enjoyment of the place.

    There's only one way to go at a place this good. First order something from the menu. Drink it. Then order your favourite cocktail. Drink that. Then order whichever your preferred again. Prost.

    Tucked away off Essex Road, 69 Colebrooke Row bears an impressive pedigree. It’s the tiny flagship of bar supremo Tony Conigliaro, noted for his dedication to the art of the mixed drink

    The menu constantly changes but if you're a whiskey/rye/bourbon drinker, get the Rye on Rye if it's still on the menu!

    Try the "Death in Venice"-- Campari, absinthe, prosecco with a twist. Now you can replicate this cocktail at home. Find the recipe in "Speakeasy Cocktails" for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_cocktails"

    Small and delightfully 1920’s vintage. If you dress according to the theme, you’ll soon be chatting away with a stranger, sipping a fabulous Dry Martini and enjoying the exceptional service.

    Classy old school cocktail bar. Nice amuse bouche deconstructed Bloody Mary and a smokey Old Fashioned served well.
