Purl London

Super cool speakeasy bar in London! Loved the vibe and the ambiance. The drinks are super cool with a multilevel sensory experience. The service was great at the establishment providing a lot of expertise in drink suggestions. The presentation of the drinks was awesome with very unique blends of drink ingredients. I recommend making a reservation here as it does get a little busy especially around peak times 🍸🍹🥃

Online pictures are deceiving. This was a huge let down. Cold, soulless and scruffy. Women’s toilets were disgusting. Sanitary bin was overflowing and the staff weren’t interested in solving the problem. The bar was really under stocked for 8pm on a Saturday. We wanted to start with a bottle of champagne and they advised they only had 1 bottle left in the building. I had a signature cocktail that was recommended by the barman as their best. It was the Mr Hyde. I’m a smokey, strong spirits fan but this was not drinkable. The Smoke flavour had a chemical taste to it. Almost like burnt plastic. I also tried to arrange before our arrival for some special welcome drinks for a friends birthday (that I would obviously pay for) and my requests were pushed around and eventually ignored. When I asked in person the response was they were never informed of anything. Big let down especially as the pictures look so good and classy. I expect these pictures were taken several years ago when the bar was in a decent condition and drinks were prepared to a decent standard. Unfortunately, it’s now quite run down and the drinks are lacklustre

Horrible place that does not pay its staff. I worked here for a few weeks and after requesting the bar manager multiple times to pay me, I never received any payment (when the payments were supposed to be weekly). Later he completely ghosted me!
Even the drinks are over priced and staff is under payed. There are much better bars out there. If you care

Nice location very speakeasy way. The rooms are in some shadows with vintage couch and armchairs. Cozy private tables, rooms. The cocktail list is very anonymous without character, we choose 3 cocktails from their signature, very lightly,Purl Spritz is a white wine spritz and white vermouth. That's it. Outbreak flames presentation, surprisingly, another one(first of the list, forgot the name, sorry) served in a "ancient" bowl with cubes ice, bot esy to drink. However the experience was good the only thing is the service, very slow, between take the order and when you receive the cocktail more then 20min.
I will back? Not sure.

Great location and decor. It really feels like a speakeasy. Great for after dinner drinks! The music was fantastic! If not for being with work colleagues, could of had a real dance party!

Not too loud that you can't hear your date talking, but not too quiet that it's awkward. With live music, and varied areas fit for couples or large groups, I LOVED this bar.

The entrance is a bit strange - you walk down a set of stairs in the dark. Once you get through the door, it feels like you've been transported into another world. The singer was placed right in front of the bar, and her voice was amazing. You then turn to your right and left, and see little caves with couches for groups of 4+. There's also smaller side tables for couples.

Service was fast, and the drinks were creative.

Really vibey speakeasy style bar underground. Loved the decor and drinks were delicious and aesthetic. Great spot to chat for ages while devouring their delicious cheeseboard with bread. Would’ve loved a few more snack options but otherwise it was amazing!

Nice cosy atmosphere but they only had two staff on, one taking orders the other making drinks, during a very busy festive period. We were told no food was available (sharing boards of cheese and meat) because it was too busy but then food was given to other customers about an hour later.
4 of us spent close to 2 hours there and only had the opportunity to get 2 drinks each.
We left because of the poor service and hunger.
