Wonderful place hidden under the lobby of a very fancy hotel. Drinks are amazing, and so is the service: our waitress refilled our free cucumber-infused water several times without having to ask. The cocktails are to die for, and you're guaranteed to experience new flavours in intricate and beautiful cocktails that are priced very reasonably for the experience, quality of service, and quality of drinks. £15-18 for a cocktail with alcohol, under £10 for mocktails.
As a first time visitor to London I was very lucky to find this place. As someone that doesn’t drink much, every drink here (I had 4 over 2 days) was amazing! Easily top 2 places I’ve ever had a drink. They are mostly custom drinks so be sure to realize that. Also, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! Special shout out to Ivy for the recommendations and great taste! Edit: I forgot just how cool the atmosphere is! Great place to bring someone because the music is just the right level you don’t have to raise your voice!
Discovered this hidden gem online whist searching for an atmospheric place to have drinks around King’s Cross and it did not disappoint. The cocktails were full of favour and were served at your table like a theatrical performance. This was complimented perfectly by the smoke filled room and alchemist inspired decor. It was like being transported to a magical place. I personally found the fire cocktails to be the most visually impressive. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make sure your every need was catered to and even treated us to two bespoke cocktails that encompassed all our favourite ingredients which were both sensational. We will definitely be back again.
A unique experience with eccentric fitout by architect Henry Chebaane to give it an industrial, steam-driven look with surreal touches and amazing lighting. A lot of work and expense went into decorating this bar. Cocktails on the pricey side but nonetheless delicious and worth it. This is a must see venue and it’s just across the road from Kings X station.
Great cocktails and great staff. Extremely knowledgeable about drinks and the area.
Not too busy, not too loud, lovely place for some evening drinks
Gentleman working Saturday night was a fab edition to our night. He walked us through each drink, what made it special, what you should expect and they were more than happy to change out if it was not too your liking. Could not fault the staff, the venue or drinks.
Date night destination.
Really fun, special speakeasy with a steampunk theme. It's hard to find (basement of a hotel) but what a find it is! Mixologists are attentive and personable and really care about the craft. Everything is made in house. Really fun and special experience.
Had the Wagyu washed bourbon cocktail, milkshake, and something beautiful they made for me based on my preferences.
A great place to catch up, hang out, or take a date! And, it's not crazy packed which I like.
This place offers a range of unique and delectable cocktails. The staff is super friendly, happily answered our questions on their mixology processes. The vibe of the place is very kinda quirky and perfect for a special occasion. We went in for my boyfriend’s birthday and they even got in a special tray with some coffee-chocolates which was a nice surprise. A bit on the pricier side, but the cocktails are strong and even one of those gets you slightly tipsy, which therefore makes up for the value. They serve cucumber water continually which was a refreshing addition to the experience and helped avoid dehydration or hangovers.
We came to Hokus Pokus to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The ambience, drinks and general atmosphere were superb. The service was both attentive and theatric. The special touches for the birthday were a welcome surprise. Wonderful place for an intimate drink or two for a special occasion.
Step aside neon sweet cheap cocktails! Here comes the true culinary art of mixology. I genuinely enjoyed my experience here. There are so many posh places in London where the wow factor is over promised and under delivered with a slap in a face bill. Here you get the true guest feel from the staff. If you feel chatty I encourage you to find out more about the place , the ingredients, have a convo with the staff you won’t be disappointed. Really cool steampunk decor, you can get lost a bit too ☺️ Cocktails are quite strong so the refreshing cucumber water top up was much appreciated.
I feel like everyone should visit this place at least once in their life. The experience is unforgettable and each drink is made to preference. You pick your base and you pick your type of cocktail. Everything is homemade and makes the cocktails that much better. The staff are amazing and the atmosphere is out of this world.
