11 Best Cocktail Bars in London

“I highly recommend this place! I’m quite pleased with the experience my partner and I had while visiting The Mockingbird Bar. The first thing we noticed is the intimate lighting, it’s dimmer than most bars which is great for light-sensitive people. The decor creates a nostalgic feel as if you’re in a different time period…you must see for yourselves. It was respectable that our mixologist Leo asked us if we had any allergies before creating our cocktails which ended up delicious and mind blowing! Best I’ve ever had without a doubt, creating a stimulating effect on the body, mind and soul. We tried some of the cheeses they have and loved them. We got pizza for dinner we were very happy with. The staff are pleasant and extremely professional while providing you with a welcoming cozy environment to be yourself. Overall an amazing place and we’ll 100% be returning a third time!“

“Craft Farmacy is remarkable!!! Amazing restaurant! So welcoming...staff are friendly and accommodating!! Stunning setting...!!! Food & Drinks! A must visit over and over!:)“

“The team that work here are top notch. While I was there they were caught with a customer surge and gave me a discount because they obviously felt service was not fast enough. Management seems to communicate very well with staff and appreciate all the work they put in. Food was great, fresh, tasty and most importantly hot. Would come back again.“

“Great service, Jess K was an awesome waitress. She was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We will be back!“

“As someone who had the privilege of managing a top-tier restaurant in downtown Toronto for three years, I’ve experienced some of the finest dining this country has to offer. After dining at AnnDinning, I can confidently say that it is the only restaurant in London, Ontario, that comes close to rivaling any top-tier establishment in Toronto—or even New York. AnnDinning isn’t a place for a quick in-and-out meal. Instead, they offer a dining experience like no other, marked by an electric vibe and a dedication to detail. Yes, the music is loud, and yes, the courses are spaced out, but that’s intentional. This restaurant wants you to *experience* your meal—giving you time to savor each dish, rather than rushing you through like just another number. The experience they offer takes time, and that’s what sets them apart from the crowd. Let’s talk about the food. The menu is a stunning showcase of locally sourced ingredients, and it’s clear that every dish is crafted with care. Their cocktail list is extensive, with beautiful concoctions that perfectly complement their dishes. For those who think vegan options are an afterthought in fine dining—think again. AnnDinning offers a proper vegan dish that even non-vegans would love. During our meal, we had the scallops, Brussels sprouts, dumplings, and one of the monthly menu spotlights: their mac & cheese. Each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly timed and impeccably plated. The attention to detail in each course is evident in the textures, flavors, and presentation. As for the other reviews you might have seen, take them with a grain of salt. Many people simply don’t understand what goes into a proper dining experience. AnnDinning isn’t just about the food; it’s about the atmosphere, the pacing, and the craftsmanship behind every dish. They’ve achieved something truly special here, and I believe it deserves to be recognized. Congratulations to the chef and the entire team at AnnDinning—this is a triumph for the London food scene.“

“We visited the restaurant last year and will definitely be back. Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“Excellent food and the GF options are vast!“

“I meet my friends at Earls London once a year and this year was just as memorable. We sat outside and although it was somewhat noisy, the weather was beautiful and the company great. Always love the food but a bit pricey. Our server must have been a new hire as she missed bringing us some of our items and needed a couple reminders. She was a sweetheart though. Won't stop us from enjoying a meal there again.“

“Had an amazing meal at Meesais Thai Kitchen. The Thai satay was perfectly done, and the coconut shrimp ceviche was such a fresh, delicious surprise. You can’t go wrong with the pad Thai, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect finish.

The cocktails were just as impressive—loved the Thai Old Fashioned and the lychee mojito. On top of all that, the service was fantastic—super attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this spot!“

“Very pleased and impressed at the quality and service.
Room was very spacious. Bathroom sink was slow to drain, but it was repaired quickly with no fuss.
All the staff are polite and helpful. Sunil was exceptional at helping make some changes to my booking.
I would absolutely stay here again.“

“Dinner and pricing is phenomenal! I absolutely love going to Lucy's. Our server just had completely ignored or forgotten about us. After getting our drinks and placing our food order we never got seen again. Never checked if we wanted more drinks or anything. Was just a little annoying for our bday dinner“
