Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "The decor is great, staff (when they were present) were great, and it was just a pleasant experience."
• "The whole design of the place, the lights, the walls were all very great to look at."
• "The dim lighting and the vintage upholstery transports you back a few decades."
• "The decor makes this a truly magical experience."
• "The decor is truly unique with interesting objects all around the space."

Cons:

• "It was so dark you couldn't see half of the very well decorated room or the menu."
• "The lighting was so very red, with loads of spider webs everywhere to enhance the mood."
• "The lighting is mostly very pleasant, joyful and complemented well the atmosphere (just a few songs drifted a bit too much in the disco-music direction for my taste)."

Cocktails and Drinks

Pros:

• "Cocktails are very good and starters are ok."
• "The cocktails are well made and the place is a total vibe."
• "Inspired cocktail bar with a speakeasy vibe serving absolutely amazing cocktails."
• "Their cocktail selection is expansive and runs similar to a journey around the world."
• "The drinks were absolutely fantastic."

Cons:

• "They don’t serve food here at all there’s no bar food any snacks."
• "The cocktails are very expensive though, and there is a time limit for how long you can occupy a table."
• "Drinks were a little lacklustre."
• "Service and cocktails were lovely, up until we asked to remove the service charge."
• "We were served a 70ml ‘cocktail’ over 7 ice cubes and paid £15 because the ice cubes apparently considered that a ‘long drink’."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The staffs are very nice and polite. They also follow the rules very strictly."
• "This is an amazing experience, the decoration of the place is very interesting and Mr Foggs history in the menu is captivating."
• "Another positive was I had forgotten that I mentioned it was a birthday celebration in our booking, as both me and my partner had our birthdays that week and this was our celebration."
• "The service was friendly, all staffs were nice and attentive."
• "We had a very pleasant time here this afternoon. The lady on the door was very welcoming and was able to accommodate us on a walk in basis."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, it seems understaffed. It took ages to receive the menus, and we had to repeatedly attempt to flag down a server to make an order."
• "There's not much in the food department so don't come hungry."
• "The service though, was quite bad, there were at least 2 servers and not that many people/tables, and in 90 minutes we never got checked on besides the first order."
• "The staff on the entrance/door are very hostile."
• "Very unfortunate experience. Drinks and restaurant vibe were excellent however the service was horrible."
