    Had just arrived in Awww London and this was our very first stop -- and wow, what a welcome! Whiskey Ginger is such a cool spot with a great vibe. The bartender was super friendly and really knew his stuff. Our server was awesome too -- chill, helpful, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Korean BBQ burger with chips and omg... so delicious. The flavors were perfect -- sweet, savory, and just the right kick. Honestly one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Definitely adding this to my "must-stop" list anytime I'm back in London. Highly recommend for a first night out or just a solid meal and drink spot.

    Finding a bar called Whiskey Ginger in London made me actually laugh out loud. At home in the states, that's my drink. And I'd been ordering it throughout Europe, much to the confusion of most waiters, waitresses and barkeeps I encountered. I'd gotten so used to explaining exactly what I wanted that I had begun to believe that this was just not a drink that is drunk in Europe. And then I find a totally posh bar in the foodiest of foodie markets in London that is actually named Whiskey Ginger lol. So I had to go in right? Right. I just sat for a couple of their signature whiskey gingers (what else would I order). Each was well made, well balanced and really tasty, served with a big wedge of ginger right in the drink. If I'd been there with some friends or for a few hours, I could've gotten in some trouble drinking those things. As it was, I had two and moved on. Bar tender and staff were friendly. No complaints.

    This was our first stop during a secret food tour, and we were brought upstairs where it was more intimate for the group to eat and group. We had their breakfast sandwich in deliciously soft brioche buns with bacon and eggs inside - all freshly sourced from within the Borough Market. It was delicious, but tastes like something I could make at home. We also had their ginger cocktail, which was too much for me to drink so early in the day, but the ginger helps mask the flavor of the whiskey.

    Located under the railway arches at Borough market is Whiskey Ginger. In day time it is over-crowded with tourists but in the evening it is pretty decent place to pop-in for a cocktail. The cocktails are not the absolutely best in town but they are doing nice flavor combos, many with whiskey or bourbon in them, at pretty decent prices (£8-9). The design of the place is nice and while it feels as if they are trying a bit too hard I still think it is a good option if you find yourself in this area of town and want a cocktail. The service is nice and friendly, perhaps not super-fast but once I have my drink I am usually not in a hurry. Music was pretty decent as well so a nice place to hang out for several drinks. It is fairly calm in the evenings as well as most tourists have then moved elsewhere.

    Cocktail of the Day: "Little Kiss"  Little Bird Gin, Chambord, Raspberry Liquor, Lemon Juice, Egg white. Yum!

    Very delicious well-made craft cocktails here and a nice escape from the bustling market. The bar is two stories with a more loungey atmosphere upstairs to relax and sip. They typically have a cocktail-of-the-day posted which I highly recommend trying among their other offerings. The service was very friendly and the decor is unique - definitely worth your time, even if for just a drink or two.

    Great range behind the bar. Fresh hot food cooked to order

    Great atmosphere for a small bar with friendly staff. Great creative mix of cocktails, on tap local beer. Freshly cooked burgers on offer all night

    Stumble upon this place after disappointingly found out that Borough Market is closed on Sunday. They have some bar tables in the alley that connect market and London Bridge. We had sausage burger, chips and beer. All were good except the chips, which are phenomenal ... the cross section of the fries are arrow shaped, they are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Loved sitting next to the cathedral garden having good food.

FRIES WITH TRUFFLE CHEESE The fries weren't as crispy as I would've liked, but the soft bite similar to mashed potatoes was pretty good. The cheese itself really carried the rich flavors of the truffle without overwhelming your tastebuds. Such a decadent cheese. SALT AND PEPPER SQUID The squid meat itself wasn't over cooked which is easy to do and makes it feel like you're chewing on a tire. Not the case here. The squid was fried perfectly, nice and crispy first bite. The garlic aioli complimented the batter they used to fry the squid in, very tasty. PEKING DUCK LETTUCE WRAPS These lettuce wraps were the perfect two bites sized appetizers. Such a flavorful and well cooked duck. The cucumber salad and lettuce helped bring the intensity of flavors down so that you could enjoy every bite. There's a full bar, but service is a little slow and congested. Staff are really nice and friendly. The dart games are so involved where each player can have their selfie taken and name displayed on the board. You can compete as teams or against each other depending on your chosen game. At the end, there is a final game stats to show who won and a group photo to conclude all the fun. A fantastic way to test out your dart skills and have fun with your loved ones!

I have been to two different locations, but they were both gorgeous spots, like the look and vibe is top notch. The drinks? Kitschy and weird as hell. Do they taste good though? Live up to the price and the hype? YES. 1000% The drinks are fun and funny and most have some sort of little quirk...color changing, in a weird vessel, tasty sweet garnishes, etc. But they also all taste amazing. Some are a show to watch them being made, some are diy mixed at the table by you. I was brought here the first time by a family friend who lives in London, and when I returned a year and a half later, with our hotel around the corner from an Alchemist, I made ALL my friends on the trip go here on our first night. And we all returned at least once more during our week in the city. Service was good and patient with our large group, food was decent...I simply have had an amazing time every time I have gone to the Alchemist and if there was one in my hometown I would be out of house and home giving them all my money. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.
