The Chocolate Cocktail Club London

Well I had been waiting a few years for the opportunity to visit here. Seeing our group had a few hours to spare before our evening meal, we booked one Sunday morning for a 1:30pm session for 4 . It did not disappoint. The location was 5 mins from Farringdon. The atmosphere was great with club tunes playing, the interior was warm and welcoming just like the two ladies who looked after us. We could upgrade our drinks from the £11.50 ones which was fab.We had the Toblerone, The Ferrero, Schmazing Strawberry, Bakewell Tart for round 1 drinks . Then Round 2 we moved onto Clockwork Orange, Bakewell Tart again, Jaffa Cake and Dancing in the dark- all again delicious. Round 3 was Rolo shots and our final round 4 was Kinder Shots. We really didn't want to leave. We watched others enjoy their afternoon teas which will have us returning to this great place. The toilets were great out back and clean. No complaints at all so no idea why the recent TripAdvisor reviews were shirty because our experience was excellent. Thank you to the staff there for making my partners 61st birthday afternoon so special, so fun and delicious. See you soon!

We booked for a friend’s birthday present. We walked in the venue and noticed a horrible smell. Ant powder everywhere The sandwiches were hard where they were left out. I found a long hair inside the scone just as I cut it open. Toilets outside in the cold Ruined the afternoon

Firstly, the cocktail I had was nice. So why the poor review? To book a table, you have to pay £11.50 per person which gets you an £11.50 cocktail. There are only about 5 £11.50 cocktails on their menu and if you don't like one, that's touch. My wife really wanted a £12 cocktail but we were told she couldn't;t have one until she drank one of the £11.50 ones. So nearly 2/3 of the drinks menu is only accessible after you are made to choose from one of their cheaper cocktails. We asked to upgrade and pay the difference and they refused. You can downgrade to a mocktail which is ok but the website doesn't make it clear you can't upgrade. The staff person just said 'There's literally nothing I can do' (which wasn't true) and that 'It's in the T&Cs...which it actually isn't). We asked to leave but they wouldn't refund. In the end, my wife had a cocktail she just didn't want and then we left quickly. I've never been to a small food/drink restaurant where the staff are so unhelpful and rigid in trying to make you enjoy the experience or become a retuning customer. The irony is that we were planning on returning with friends before we visited and now we won't go back. We just didn't enjoy the experience at all

We had an amazing time at The Chocolate Cocktail Club, the cocktails are unreal, best chocolate martinis I've ever had. The venue is sweet, with wonderful staff, they couldn't do enough for you. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Awful experience, the whole place smelt really badly of what can only be described as wet dog. The cocktails tasted like nesquick made with water, my second cocktail was meant to be pistachio but had no resemblance to pistachio at all. My friend couldn’t even drink her cocktails at all. I asked where the toilet was and the lady who was serving us said “don’t take your coat off it’s outside” and it was pretty dire. The whole experience was definitely not one I would repeat.

Not impressed. Place was cute, staff was great but drinks were all sugar and water down, never felt the buzz. I don't think I will come back.

My daughter bought me a voucher as a gift. Hubby and I had previously visited the pop-up in Shoreditch so were looking forward to this visit. Unfortunately the bar in Farringdon is tiny with seating really close to other guests so much so that I felt the sneeze from the woman on my right and could hear the whole conversations of everyone around me. The website states that you can choose from three options for your first cocktail. The waiter however said we had to have a chocotini and asked me to show him where I saw a choice of three on the website. I duly obliged. The cocktails were very nice but the food was tasteless. A waitress later approached our table and announced loudly: ‘I’m afraid I’m going to have to give you your half hour warning now.’ A warning? Seriously? There must be a more polite way to say there’s only half an hour remaining of our ninety minutes slot. Then a different waiter approached our table to ask if we’d like to order another drink. I told him we’d have no time to drink it as we’d already been given a warning. The website tells customers to ‘lick the rim’ and the people to my right did just that. It wasn’t pleasant to see a lady licking both the inner and outer rim of her glass while her friend scooped out the remains of her drink with her fingers whilst shouting that what she really needed was a spoon. Not a great experience at all, sadly.

We had such a lovely time here. If you love chocolate this is definitely the place for you! All our drinks were superb and Alex was a great host taking our orders. Would highly recommend for something different to do in London

Lovely visit to the chocolate cocktail club. Great service and unique drinks at a great price. We will be back. Thank you!

Had a fantastic afternoon here with a friend! She booked the afternoon tea for my birthday and we had the best time. The afternoon tea was delicious with a variety of sandwiches and lots of chocolatey treats! We also had a cocktail included but we still sampled more. Would definitely recommend!
