Merchant House London

The souls of ghosts of bartenders and barmaids from the prohibition era lives in on in the hearts of the people here. We had a wondrous, magical, beautiful evening with our server. Then again, we are also awesome guests, and we take some credit - we are a delight to have.

Thus, if you are a quasi-mediocre person (or your date is of questionable fabulousness levels) don't come here, you'll not be able to deliver enough panache and glow, and you're not worthy of this place.

Cute hidden gem in the city with fantastic table service. They can make cocktails of your choice depending on your taste

Amazing athmosphere and such a lovely and friendly person serving us. She was such a professional and a true talent! Absolutely delicious cocktails! Love,love this place! Can’t wait to be back again!

Really great place. We went for the cocktail experience and the drinks were amazing and tailored to us. The bar staff were very professional and charming and made the atmosphere great. It’s an absolute must-try for anyone wanting relaxed good vibes and an intimate setting.

My favourite cocktail bar in London, this is why...

Pros:

Hidden away from the main streets. The quality of service is exceptional and the staffs knows their stuff. If you enjoy good quality cocktails with no gimmicks and doesn't remind you of science class, this is the place for you.

A nice classic ambience in the heart of St Paul, no drinks menu, yes no drinks menu, I usually ask the folks at the bar to make whatever, I just provide the base and they usually build on that.

"Merchant House is home to some 600 whiskies, 400 rums & 400 gins"

There are secret rooms in there too, and if you are lucky, you may get a tour, it is part of the appealing atmosphere.

Cons:

Do not expect to receive or make call whilst inside, sometimes, the WiFi connectivity is good, sometimes it is ridiculously slow.

I'd like to see an alternative food menu to the current option which is just a selection of meats, pickles, olives.

Conclusion:

A must visit cocktail bar. You can thank me later.

PS. No need to take videos or photos for Instagram, you'd be having a real good time.

Thank you so much for your service, really great experience even when you were a short staff, my friend and I really appreciate your kindness. Unfortunately I had to see you dealing with a rude people and I saw a nice attitude about it. Any customer would like to see that type of situation, especially when the customer has being rude to you, I’ll definitely come back, but hoping my friends and I wont have the same vibe with that type of people around. But definitely the cocktail recommendations were so great an clean. It’s nice to find a place where the staff knows what they’re serving you! We will back!!!!

The service was wonderful and really professional! I have to thank you for your service and your vibe. Giving us a nice drinks, but also a nice environment making of this evening a nice experience! (BTW, so exited to have a whisky master class, I saw it and I couldn't stop listening 😁) defo I will be back!!!

Absolutely loved this little gem of a bar tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. One of the waiters served me up a fabulous cocktail based on my taste preferences. It was amazing! Will def be back x
