10 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.“

“I had lunch here today (December 3) it was such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and you can tell it was very fresh!!!
We LOVED our server Taryn and hope she’s there when we come back. She’s super welcoming as well very attentive to need/wants. She made the most delicious mango margarita!

The atmosphere could use a little upgrade as the seats on the booths were peeling but other than that no complaints!

Overall I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Excellent food and the GF options are vast!“

“I had such an amazing experience at Earls thanks to our server, Luisa. I was having a hard time choosing a steak, and she went above and beyond to help me pick the perfect one. She explained the differences so clearly, even checked in a few times to make sure everything tasted great.

Her kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made my whole dining experience feel special. It’s rare to meet someone who cares that much about their guests’ experience. Earls is lucky to have her, and I hope her manager sees this because she truly deserves recognition. I’ll definitely be coming back because of her!“

“We went for the Dancing With the Stars finale watch party and it was amazing! They were decorated so beautifully for the holiday season and had the show playing on every TV. The manager and our server were very sweet and made our experience great even when there was a bit of an order mix up. Overall great vibe, delicious food, and a fun time!“

“Super friendly staff at the front, they gave a lot of information to make sure we would have a good stay. We upgraded to a suite with a king bed and it was really nice. The room was spacious and clean. Although we found a leftover takeout box from the people before that was left behind in the fridge, some of the windows were broken or taped up and blurry so couldn’t have a nice view. The bed was comfortable but all night we can hear the toilet bubbling. Their gym and breakfast is currently closed for renovations so if you want breakfast they give out vouchers for stacked for an additional price. Good location right off the highway if you’re looking for a cheap stay to hit the road right after.“
