- Mihnea MiculescuAugust 15, 2014Arguably the best cocktail bar in Soho - 'La Medicación' is always a solid choice. You usually won't need to book (just play nice with the bouncer), but a table could be tricky. Can get a bit loud.
- Cheen The CuriousJune 9, 2016A speakeasy above the Chinese bakery. Walk too fast & you'll miss it. Interesting cocktails. We enjoyed our rum-based concoctions
- KostasAugust 31, 2019Excellent cocktails!! Tried Saint Germain Des Pres and Ambrosia. Nice atmosphere and service. I believe the music was too loud. Some seats are uncomfortable (the good ones are not avail. when crowded)
- Justine RJune 24, 2016Authentic experimental cocktail bar with very cool atmosphere. Unexpectedly hidden in the middel of busy Chinatown. Pricey but delicious cocktails. Careful, they charge 5£ entry after 11PM!
- Kim PhamMay 10, 2015A classic speakeasy with locations in NYC & Paris. Book ahead or come early, there are only a handful of tables!
- Liis SaarJuly 12, 2015One of our favourite coctails bars in London. Great selection of quirky delicious coctails and busy yet intimate atmosphere. Service is always top notch!
- Merve AltıntaşMarch 8, 2019Very hard to find but worth it cool place! Best cocktails ever! Try saint german! Look for a black door don’t give up :)
- Nathan FisherMay 2, 2015Can't go wrong with most of the cocktails on the menu old Cuban is one of my favourites. Book a reservation early to make sure you don't get bounced around for seating.
- Naa PilarJanuary 14, 2015I loved the drinks! So delicious. Dj was great! Her name was pinky, I wish she had a link for the music playlist. The coat check guy was super nice. Other waiters could have been nicer :-/
- If you ask really nicely they will make you a Drunken Viking which is no longer on the menu but so good. When they apologise for having no celery bitters, keep a straight face if you can.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- MelanieOctober 30, 2014Great cocktails but pricey, good buzz for a before dinner drink. Would defiantly try again but maybe book first as places seems to fill up quickly.
- Paul CampbellSeptember 1, 2014Suitably mysterious, followed by excellent service, smiling barstaff. Far less pompous than its Irish cloneterpart. Oh, and a really very tasty, creative cocktail. Thumbs up.
- Thunder CatJanuary 17, 2015Fantastic cocktails and lovely decor - the entrance is "hidden" in the heart of China Town but the doorman outside give the game away. Booking is recommended but not essential.
- Yiota PapJanuary 25, 2015Difficult to find but once inside you'll love it :-) great decor and atmosphere and really good cocktails. The old Cuban is a must-try
- erin gaughanApril 15, 2013Great cocktail club - be sure to stop by if you're in the area. Much better than all the other places around. St. Germaine des pres is an amazing concoction!
- Ellie SMarch 3, 2015Great atmosphere, bouncer gets easily agitated so go in pre-split little groups. Don't go for a mojito - try the house cocktails, they're worth it!
- LMApril 15, 2017Finding the club was like a treasure hunt! The doorman had bookings written down in a child's book (haha), great drinks, great service and supercool vibe!
- Time Out LondonMay 2, 2012Experimental Cocktail Club is perhaps the closest we have to a genuine hidden drinking den, and the fact it's on the tourist strip of Gerrard Street makes it even more interesting. Read more
- Paul GallagherAugust 15, 2017Live music every Tuesday evening. Killer cocktails, especially the Old Cuban. Friendly service. I'll be back.
- Ashley ChanOctober 14, 2019The Kota Tenate is one of the most “experimental” cocktails I’ve had- milky but completely clear. Definitely don’t miss this choice.
- Evening StandardOctober 2, 2012You won't be let down by the quality of the drinks, which start from about £10 for regular cocktails and go up to £250 for vintage ones - how often do you get to drink gin from 1950? Read more
- MEININGER HotelsApril 7, 2014Right in the heart of Chinatown, among Chinese restaurants, with no sign, just a scratched, dark door: the entrance to the Experimental Cocktail Club London.
- Tom HoweOctober 9, 2013Hard to find but Its halfway down Gerrard Street, black nameless door usually with a well dressed man outside with a clip board. Recommend making a reservation before arriving!
- Morgans Hotel GroupAugust 7, 2012The unassuming and unmarked door on the main street of Chinatown hides a staircase to the 1st & 2nd floors and one of the coolest cocktail clubs in OUR LDN!
- Audrey BRUISSONMay 18, 2014In love with this place, those fantastic cocktails, those really friendly bartendesr, this beautiful deco and atmosphere! Huge crush!!

- While the classic Old Fashioned isn't on the menu, they'll make the best one you've ever had if you know to ask!
- Laci WhiteFebruary 24, 2015Anything and everything assuming you can find the entrance. Smaller and more intimate than you might guess.
- Tim BradshawJuly 16, 2011Quite a find in this part of town. Classy cocktail joint. Get there before 11pm to avoid paying on the door. You don't always need a reservation.
- Josh TaroliJune 22, 2016Great place to have cocktails in soho. Yes, it's the door with the lady in front.
- Ministry of WaxingApril 26, 2012A perfect place for that classy, intimate date. Dress smart, make a reservation, and enjoy the delicious cocktails.
