Booked the 12 course tasting menu in the chefs kitchen...love this. Excellent evening, excellent food, tried new flavours and the service was personal and couldn't be better. Will definitely be back!

Stopped by a couple of weeks back, the drinks were tasteless, overpriced and tiny - if you see their instagram they present some of the drinks as bigger than they actually are. The place was also a dark cramped and dreary. As a bartender myself it was a complete ripoff, not worth the visit. Each cocktail cost around £17 each because of service charge. Wouldn’t pay £5 for those drinks.

Average cocktails at premium prices. We were told last orders at just after 11pm although it is supposed to shut at 12. Quickly came round and gave everyone their bill long before 12. We were all definitely being ushered out. Service was quick and attentive in regards to getting us out. Atmosphere is nice. Cocktails have gone downhill from previous visits and lack any spark they used to have.

I have visited the Blind Pig multiple times over the last 5 years and always loved bringing visitors with me to experience the lovely and unique fairytale themed cocktails. They were what put the blind pig on the map for me, and made me want to return.

I booked a table for 2 at 7pm on Friday night, having not visited for a few months. Firstly the bar was not as busy as I expected which I thought unusual. Secondly I was disappointed that the menu had changed from one that was fun and unique, to a fairly standard "bougie" cocktail list. Thirdly I was quite disappointed with the service. It was quite difficult to get attention from the staff as the majority of the time they were stood by the doorway with their back to the room.

Please please please bring back the fairytale cocktail concept! It was what made the blind pig different to any other soho cocktail bar!

I rarely review any place less than 4 or 5 stars. This place would have been a 5 stars, except they didn't inform us that there was a time limit. 60 minutes for walk-ins and 90 minutes if you reserved. I reserved for my dad and myself. We went to order our 3rd drink but we were asked to pay and leave without out a reason. I asked another waiter about the situation. It was then we were told about the policy. She told us being kicked out was a mistake. To her credit, she did try to reconcile the situation, but we were so embarrassed and offended about the situation. This was my dad's first time in London. I won't leave on a bad note. Drinks were lovely, love the chill atmosphere, and the waiters that serviced us are amazing. I just hope that you inform your guests about your policies before serving them. Also, sorry for my dad flipping you guys off as we were leaving.

We had a fabulous time at this cocktail bar. Very cool look and feel with wonderful retro music. The drinks are equally cool named after music icons. The David Bowie was delicious and the Oasis was very creative. I will definitely visit again.

For the first speakeasy I have visited it was an interesting experience. It was different from what I expected but honestly the experience is something you have to try. My favorite drink was the peaches and cream. It was a hard choice to choose a drink so I asked the staff for a surprise. I was not disappointed. The cocktail had a smooth taste with a peachy finish. For the staff they were very friendly. Accommodating for whichever request we had. The music was a more 2000 hip hop and R&B it was a chill vibe. They accept card and even for big groups they can split the tab which makes the experience so much easier. For the review I would give it 8.5 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. Reason being the "Speakeasy" experience was definitely something I thought was going to be different. But nonetheless it was am amazing spot.
