We went on Saturday 30th May for my 50 birthday. We were a table of ten and our server Trinity could not have been more attentive. They were amazing keeping the drinks flowing. The ladies doing the Mamma Mia experience were great. Definitely value for money.

If you’re looking for a post-theatre spot with character, The Escapologist is a must-visit. We dropped in right after seeing Matilda the Musical, and this basement cocktail bar was the perfect follow-up to the show. ​The Atmosphere & Vibe ​The bar has a fantastic "secret society" aesthetic that feels both cool and intimate.

I went for the mama mia bottomless brunch. The atmosphere was really good, live singers which made for an amazing atmosphere. However, I had the vegan burger which was the worst burger I've ever had. It was 'sweet potato and vegan halloumi' and it had 2 small slices of sweet potato and I still don't know what the halloumi was (except for greasy and chewy). It also had a gluten free bun, and it is always so frustrating when the vegans and gluten frees are assumed to be the same.

Went to Escapologist for pre-birthday drinks and honestly one of the best cocktail spots in London. The Banana Duchess, Whisper in the Dark, Lychee Lace & Round the World were all delicious, creative and genuinely unique. Beautiful presentation, great atmosphere, and cocktails that actually taste as good as they look. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for a proper cocktail bar in London.
