London is bursting with top cocktail bars and memorable places to sip a martini or indulge in classic cocktails.

From Bethnal Green’s neighbourhood gems to Soho’s energetic party venues, get ready for an intriguing mix of style, flavour, and amazing bartenders.

Top Cocktail Bars in London

1. Lucky Voice

Lucky Voice is a vibrant cocktail bar renowned for its signature drinks and party atmosphere. Enjoy a musically inspired cocktail menu with options blended perfectly by expert bartenders and served chilled over hand cut ice. Pop into a private karaoke room for a singalong or mingle at the main bar until closing time. Whether you want a classic lime cocktail or something with orange bitters, Lucky Voice serves up events, menu specials, and masterclasses for every guest. Walk-ins are always welcome, or book your table now for a night transformed by fun.

Hot tip: Book early if your karaoke night falls on a weekend. Prime-time slots tend to get snapped up quicker than the last pornstar martini! We've made it easy for you, here's all our locations across London and Brighton:

2. Ham Yard Hotel

Ham Yard Hotel is a must-visit for anyone seeking best cocktails in the City. Stunning decor, spacious settings, and dark wood aesthetics set the scene for a sophisticated experience. Each bar room offers its own theme, think blue circles and stylish shapes. The cocktail menu features timeless classics, orange juice touches, and an impressive variety of agave spirits. Seeking something extra? Book a session in their karaoke room and let the good vibes swing.

3. Shoreditch House

This members-only venue on Old Street reimagines party nights with an exclusive backdrop of the City’s skyline. Shoreditch House blends converted warehouse charm, a rooftop pool, and house cocktails that rival London’s finest. Enjoy reservations for group events or simply swing by to mix and mingle with friends over cold drinks.

4. Kensington Roof Gardens

Kensington Roof Gardens delivers a whimsical night, with outside roof terraces and beautifully crafted cocktail bars. Expect an intriguing mix: flamingos, fireworks, bridges, and an orange bitters twist for every drink. Their menu highlights agave spirits, recomposed lime, and cocktails as expertly made as the gardens are maintained.

5. Madison Champagne Bar

Boasting iconic views of St Paul’s Cathedral, Madison is the right place for City professionals to unwind over the perfect drink, whether a classic martini or a glass of sparkling champagne. Enjoy sweet and sour cocktails on the terrace and catch up with friends above London’s red square rooftops.

6. B.Y.O.C

Nestled in Covent Garden, B.Y.O.C invites guests to bring their own spirits for a bespoke experience where bartenders create unique cocktails tailored to each flavour profile. One drink is never enough... expect rosewood London influences and hand cut ice shaping every creation. Make a reservation to discover what makes this place truly special.

7. Soho Hotel

Like Ham Yard, the Soho Hotel offers multiple bar spaces with bright, airy atmospheres. Sip martinis at the bar, relax upstairs, or visit the karaoke system powered by Lucky Voice for added entertainment. Walk-ins are always welcome in this central capital hotspot for cocktails and parties.

8. W Hotel

Leicester Square’s W Hotel stands out with lounge areas and the Wyld bar, each catering to your mood, chill or party. Their bartenders mix classics and fashion-forward drinks, featuring seasonal lime and orange bitters. Whether you’re after the best cocktails or just one drink with a guest, W Hotel serves up the city’s nightlife in style.

9. Ladies & Gents

This quirky Bethnal Green bar, transformed from a Victorian underground lavatory, is famous for miso-infused cocktails, homemade syrups, and botanicals. If you want something different, walk through the Whitmore Estate to Ladies & Gents for a world-class taste and unparalleled mixology.

10. Tonteria

Tonteria in Sloane Square nails the Mexican-inspired lounge vibe. Swing by for a tequila cocktail with sweet and sour lime, or try their menu featuring agave spirits, orange juice, and classics reimagined for modern London nights. Expect live entertainment, energetic parties, and friendly staff, always ready to cater to your next event.

Immersive Cocktail Experiences & Masterclasses

London isn’t just the home of classic bars, it’s a playground for immersive cocktail adventures and interactive parties. If a simple night out won’t cut it, take your friends, colleagues, or party-loving squad to one of the city’s renowned cocktail masterclasses or immersive experiences, where every drink comes with a twist and every hour is packed with excitement.

Unforgettable Masterclasses

Wondering what to do at night in London? Some of the capital’s top cocktail bars, including Lucky Voice (wink wink) offer hands-on cocktail masterclasses led by world-class bartenders. Shake, stir, muddle and garnish your way to drinks perfection, whether you're in the mood for a classic martini, a tequila-based masterpiece, or recipes that use fresh lime, orange bitters and hand cut ice. These sessions are perfect for hen parties, birthdays, or team events. After mastering the art of mixology, sing out your heart in a private karaoke booth, because nothing brings a party together like cocktails and karaoke.

  • Silver, Gold or Platinum Masterclasses: Choose your cocktail adventure with add-ons like pizza, snacks, and extended karaoke time.

Corporate, group or birthday bookings: The team will tailor the session to your vibe, from a quiet shake-up to an all-out celebration.
