Céline LandraJuly 2, 2017Best entry into a bar ever, absolutely loved the concept! I recommend this place: great atmosphere, good cocktails, nice staff. Cocktails are a bit expensive though.
Lizzie PJanuary 1, 2017Get your case ready before entering this detective agency ;) Hands down the best entry into a bar. Absolute must visit if you're a speakeasy fan!
Upvoted Feb 22- OuicestmoiOctober 22, 2014Amazing concept! Have a solid case and play along! Amazing 20's decor and superb atmosphere but too loud for dates on weekends.
DNovember 15, 2015They really take the detective agency image seriously so be prepared. Once you're in, the atmosphere is lovely and cocktails are great. The Yuzual Suspects is amazing!
Alexandros PlexidasMay 12, 2018Find an intriguing story to tell to the guy at the entrance and he will let you enter this speakeasy cocktail bar. The cocktails themselves were good and of decent size.
Magdaline DilesOctober 17, 2015Amazing scene. Amazing cocktails. Best "real" fries (they're not frozen chips). The rest of the food is ok and it's pretty prices. Definitely worth at least 1 visit.
Richard FrazierDecember 31, 2012Extremely unexpected for Earls Court, but worth going out of your way for. Lots of bars are going for the prohibition theme, but Evans & Peel have it nailed. Have your back story straight on entry.
Liz DMay 25, 2018I'm not a big drinker but thought the Librarian's Libation had exquisite flavor. I tried to trip up the "detective" who greeted me by making my case ludicrous, but he didn't bite :) Still fun tho.
Andy KanenasMay 11, 2018Loved the atmosphere and the cocktails here. At very impressive the first time you visit, I won’t spoil it why, go and see for yourselves.- Rebecca MazzaApril 15, 2016The cocktails are great. Make sure to submit your "case" well in advance. It's only a couple minutes of role play
Tobias OtteNovember 22, 2014Fun place to go if you like some role play. Book in advance and make up a story to get access. Good cocktails but nothing extraordinary.
MissyJanuary 4, 2014After being greeted at reception, you have to give a made up mystery to be led through a secret door behind the bookcase that leads you into the bar. Cocktails are yum, food portions are very small.
KostasNovember 28, 2015Fun and atmospheric place. Loved the candles on the tables. Think of a case and make it exciting (not necessary but more fun).
JenniferMarch 1, 2013Prepare your "case" before you arrive! Cocktails are delicious and the smoked cheesecake is unusual but you should try it :)
Nick SorrosNovember 10, 2015Nice atmosphere, suitable for dates. Tried the iced tea cocktail and it had a very unique taste.
Lillian PaschalidiFebruary 19, 2018The atmosphere's great&the concept is unique!Food&cocktails were below average.We were 5 friends, each tasted a different cocktail:all cocktails tasted bad.Will go back trying wine or beer next time.
Hannah TaylorApril 26, 2014Great dining experience, but stay away from the Yorkshire caipiriana unless you like drinking vinegar, because that's quite literally what it is!
Jo NFebruary 9, 2013Wow! Prepare your story before!! Get in before 9pm on Saturday to get a seat! Quail cocktail was gooood!
Jennifer CarterFebruary 27, 2015Amazing speakeasy! Be prepared for fun on the door and a great atmosphere inside!
Hel GaMay 25, 2015A little bit e pendice and not a big selection of food.. But the place and the 'trick' def worth it
ΠιστούλαNovember 2, 2014Great atmosphere. The cocktails were really good but quite strong! Definitely recommend it!
Steve ManktelowOctober 15, 2012The best bar in west London. Great sliders, divine pretzels and who wouldn't drink radiator beer?
Carmen LitiuJune 23, 2012Get there early and sit at the bar. Tell the barmen what you like and let them do the rest...
Jean Francois HectorFebruary 4, 2013got to book in advance. mock detective agency, make up a story to get access to cocktail bar + restaurant
ShreenaFebruary 4, 2014Markedly underwhelmed by @evansandpeel unfortunately. Underground pub with gimmicky entrance; reasonably priced food yet unrefined drinks.
Steff HindAugust 7, 2014Make sure you have your case prepared. And go to burlesque in the last Sunday of every month
James AllenAugust 30, 2012Get your story straight before entering. Then sit back and let then deal with your case.
- Eoghan HayesDecember 18, 2012You need a booking. Probably won't get in without one. You need to be buzzed in!
Andrew woodFebruary 16, 2013Cool venue. Good cocktails; food is fine if you're hungry, but nothing special.
Jennifer LonAugust 10, 2013Overrated. Sorry. Seen it though now. Tick. Service was very good though.
