Decor and Atmosphere
Pros:
"I love the bar decor feels cosy."
"The place is very nicely decorated and the light up signs are a nice added touch."
"The atmosphere is lovely, decor cute but the cocktails are amazing!"
"I also loved the atmosphere and decor, and had a nice relaxing vibe especially after a long day at work or traversing London."
"Pretty cool decor too."
"The atmosphere was amazing as everyone in awe of all the cocktails and as soon as you walked in, you were hit with this delicious smell of chocolate."
"Delicious cocktails, beautiful ambience, friendly and welcoming hosts; could have easily spent the whole night there."
Cons:
"The music is blaring out and we can’t hear ourselves speak."
"The atmosphere was not pleasant as the interiors were very tacky- golden sparkly walls with chocolate bars stuck on them."
"The decor felt a bit run down."
"I wish they had the music some more low, to get that cozy atmosphere."
"Small cute place, but very basic and cold."
"So disappointed, 1pm and us and one other couple in here."
"It's closed Sunday and Monday."
Cocktails and Food
Pros:
"The chocolate cocktails are absolutely delicious and it's the perfect place for a post dinner dessert/drink."
"Drinks and food (especially the pizza twists and sweet charcuterie boards) were both delicious."
"Some cocktails were really tasty and creamy like The Toblerone and others were like drinking a watered down milkshake such as the Shamazing Strawberry."
"Really lovely cocktails and plenty of creamy, fruity ones if the chocolate gets too much."
"The Nutella waffle banana with chocolate syrup is a magical breakfast in my opinion."
"Cocktails were delicious, they were sweet and flavourful."
"The chocolate flavored cocktails were so so good and so was the chocolate beer."
Cons:
"You could not taste the alcohol over the chocolate where it was either stupidly weak or watered down (not sure which)."
"However, items advertised and sold as vegan then arrived with Rolos on them and other ones appear to be served similarly despite being called vegan."
"The selection of food is not great which is why we didn't order any."
"They tasted like milkshake, there was no espresso in them and alcohol content was questionable."
"We also had a free drink included in our entrance ticket but we had a feeling it was too watery since it was 'free'."
"The first cocktail tasted good although very weak on the alcohol front."
"It honestly felt like there was almost no alcohol in them."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly."
"The staff are awesome, cocktails delicious and atmosphere great."
"Waitress was highly attentive so we never had an emtpy glass."
"The staff are so friendly and helpful, the drinks are delicious and unique."
"The lady who waited on us was personable and attentive."
"The staff are incredibly nice."
"Staff were super friendly and helpful, the nachos were great."
Cons:
"Service was ok but some very basic amenities were completely missing such as no tissues on any table for cleaning fingers/mouth."
"Service a bit slow to begin with and waited a little while for menu and again before someone came to take our order."
"Even paying was a experience in itself ...not able to get the card machine to work the staff member (who I think was pretty hammered) passed it on to number two...when this poor chap failed..I had to go and get cash out to pay."
"Tourists: don't go. We have the London pass and a Cocktail is supposed to be included, but when we arrived there they stopped us at the door and told us to come back later."
"First of all, the only way to book a table is to pay for a £9 cocktail + booking fee."
"Not wheelchair accessible."
"Unfortunately my vegan friend was surprised to find a Rolo in a supposedly 'vegan' cocktail but when we raised the issue they were polite and friendly."
