The Whistling Shop is a gorgeous bar which seriously impresses when you walk in (would be great for a date). The menu is kind of a challenge to read, partly because it is so dark and partly because it is full of stuff I'd never heard of - there is a even a glossary although we were all still a bit bewildered! Staff were very sweet, although our poor server was new and was struggling to answer our questions. Drinks are very expensive, cocktails listed on the menu start at about £9.50. The vodka martini was kind of awesome - sort of like drinking delicious petrol. I tried a gun barrel gin with lemon seltzer - the gin came in a separate glass so you could try it - mine had a smoked almonds and cherry flavour which gave it a nice hint of sweetness. I dumped my gin in the seltzer after a few sips which I then regretted because I couldn't taste it any more. The seltzer itself was absolutely delicious - one of the most delightful refreshing soft drinks I've had in a long time. So I would suggest you enjoy them separately! There didn't seem to be much in the way of food - a colleague ordered a cheeseboard which didn't look particularly impressive for £12 although I liked the cute old plates that came with it. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this place: fun, fancy and worth checking out. read more

This is quite a spacious speakeasy bar located downstairs, with a main room and bar in front which was reserved for a private function, thereby lending the back room and bar to the public. Arriving early guaranteed us a seat as it was soon filling up on a Friday night. Every space is well used and there are different tables and booths that cater to the patron. Comfy seats, a couch, a private room, a large sharing table and other little stools that grace the bar. The waitress took the time to explain the menu which is laid out to guide you towards their specialty drinks based on fruits, spices, herbs, etc. There is also a classic menu for general spirits and beers. We went with two types of Old Fashioned - one with the house bourbon and the other with a special peanut butter and jam whiskey. It was fun to try a different take on it although we preferred the original. Overall it's a good spot for a quiet conversation during the week or perhaps a louder one on weekends if you are ready to kick back a couple and not concerned with price. read more

Now *this* is a cocktail bar. A small menu of sample concoctions that merely crack open the floodgate of options with a huge selection of sprits, homemade bitters, sodas, and a variety of other ingredients eagerly awaiting you behind the bar. (Not to mention skilled bartenders, because, you know, they're involved as well.) Not for those who tend to favour umbrellas or pineapples in their drinks, but if you're up for a liquid nitrogen chocolate cake or dragon popcorn, this might just be your new spot. It's dark. It's sultry. It's fantastically low-key. The devil is in the deep inhales... read more

Really friendly staff serve well composed cocktails in a lovely space that is not overcrowded. Servings are generous for the price and our cocktail waiter was well informed and very helpful. However, for a location that has reputedly one of the best gin selections in London (evidenced by the extensive list) the signature cocktail list is surprisingly lacking in depth in this regard (and no choice of gin offered on those cocktails that do use a gun base). The signature cocktails menu is, itself, a bit gimmicky by appearance. The gin flight is a nice cocktail but it's perhaps a little bit of an odd decision to have a mix of cocktails that really requires you to drink the most challenging flavours last, lest it overpowers the other drinks. The twisted sisters cocktail was great. read more

Whistling Shop was my second London cocktail bar experience. The first two things I noticed looking through the menu were: 1. Short list, which is augmented by some barrel aged drinks on a later page and 2. There are a lot of words I don't understand in relationship to my cocktails. Immediately, I headed to the bars for answers about irradiation, photo-synthesis, barrel aging, bacteriums, their Kaboom still, etc. There are mad scientists lurking behind this bar and they have an off-site laboratory. They do some unusual treatments to their drinks. Browse through their online menu to understand this. The great thing is that Ben is perfectly willing to answer your questions and he does this quite thoroughly. I only had one cocktail, The Irradiation Cocktail, shared the meat and cheese boards with friends, and sampled drinks from the aforementioned friends. The Irradiation Cocktail was very drinkable. I swore I was merely sipping this herbaceous drink, but it disappeared too rapidly. I also got to sample their chocolate wine (way too sweet for me) and a special French Whisky which sits behind the bar. The cocktails aren't dressed fancy, but they use expensive "threads" through their laboratory experiments. I was assured there is a difference between a treated and non-treated cocktail, but the treated cocktails didn't amaze me. Their customer service did, though. Other drinks do feature unusual flavor profiles. They also have a Monkey to Man cocktail that isn't finished yet, though its on the menu. If you're in the mood for some unusual flavors, want to spend a little more, and enjoy being treated well, come to the Whistling Shop. read more

Now this... is a pub. You heard me. You can glam up a cellar, make it smell of lavender and get a swanky looking menu, but still, it's a pub, not a speakeasy and not a cocktail bar. The staff were friendly enough and when I came in there was an air of confidence from the man behind the bar. I ordered my Aviation and he popped off to make it. He came back 5 minutes later to announce he had no maraschino. So, that'll be a "No" to the Aviation then. Browsing the menu I select one of their hot seasonal drinks. Oh wait, they haven't turned the hob on yet so even though they are on the menu you can't actually have them. Okay, maybe I was just unlucky, but with all the excitement and hype over this place I left thinking I just didn't want to go back again. It's certainly not as classy as the Night Jar and not quite as cosy as Happiness Forgets. Saying that, I wouldn't not show up to a friends party here, I might just not suggest bringing a friend here to impress them. It's also a bit of a shame that this place is already filling up with Liverpool Street suits, giving it a "douchie" vibe (sorry to use such an American term here) too. OKay rant over, I'm heading to another bar for a drink. read more

'What are you doing this weekend?' Drinking x 3. In order to get reacquainted with my fair London town, I must pay a visit to my favourite drinking dens and discover some new sources of boozy downfall. Upon hearing of The Whistling Shop on Worship Street, I knew it was a must. Words like libation and emporium are tossed about freely on their website, jostling up against the promises of laboratory and rotary evaporated drinks. You don't have to ask me twice, guvnor. All kitted up in Victorian butcher garb, the barmen are a bit rough around the edges but politely offer cocktail menus and passed my first test, the cocktail recommendation. At a cocktail bar, NEVER choose your first drink yourself, get them to recommend you something based off your likes and dislikes, you'll get the real measure of how good they are. Bartenders who say 'oh everything is good' are shit. I drank a totally clear Tin and Jonic with Grand Marnier and lemon that didn't blow me away but was a good starter for 4 in the afternoon. My friend had the Panacea, whiskey, honey and lavender with a frothy sage dust sprinkle. Very good. Their gin fizz slid down easy and left me a little tipsy as I left. After two drinks, we were both tipsy, a rarity for me. Shows they don't skimp on the liquor. The Whistling Shop is huge, loads of space for you and your gin swizzing friends. read more

Eh. The vibe was cool. And the service was welcoming. My cocktail was good. But I can't help but feel this is a bog-standard prohibition theme bar. I never imagined I would ever utter the words 'bog-standard prohibition theme bar', though. Points for that, Whistling Shop. Points for that. It's supposedly not prohibition themed at all, given its Victorian schtick. /COULD HAVE FOOLED ME/ read more

Bad day? May I suggest having a Mother's Ruin and some amazing fat based popcorn? Gin. popcorn. More gin. That's my story at Whistling Shop. A bit hard to find but I do love a good cellar bar and the service was pretty darn spot on as well. read more

I literally gasped with excitement when I got an email from Purl, The Whistling Shop's sister cocktail bar, announcing the opening of this location on Worship Street. While Purl's cocktails appear to have more visual bells and whistles (fog, fire, and the like), the cocktails at The Whistling Shop are still artfully complicated and absolutely delicious. You know you're at a place where the barmen really know their stuff when the menu comes with its own glossary of house-created ingredients. Some sound a bit dubious (walnut ketchup, which blended deliciously into the Punch and Judy that I ordered and isn't actually walnut or ketchup) and others just plain cool (WS2 High Pressure Hydrosol). The bar also has a few interesting features like an Honesty Bar, which won't be opened for another month or so but is slated to run an interesting pay-what-you-wish concept. The ambiance of the Whistling Shop is dark, classy, and very Victorian -- save for the music, which was a bit confusing at times. And, for the cherry on top (or, perhaps, lavender powder, which is what they garnish their "Panacea" cocktail with) ... the people who work there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. read more

I love London's pub scene. LOVE IT! But, sometimes I get a little homesick. I didn't know it until I walked into this place. (Although, to my knowledge, Seattle never had anything as cool as this place.) WSWS reminds me of so many things but, oddly, nothing I've ever actually experienced before. Probably because it looks like a movie set, or something out of a movie. It's super cool. I'm probably not cool enough to have been. But, that's what makes it awesome because when you walk down the stairs you're greeted kindly and treated nicely. There are no airs, no attitude. The staff is friendly and helpful. Plus, they make really amazing cocktails with home-made ingredients. And, they put egg whites in some of them. My gin cocktail was like a meringue dessert. I'm definitely not cool enough to go back but go back I will. read more

I wanted to love this place but quite frankly as Lizzie G said, this is a Victorian chic pub with a cocktail menu. It was also bad to get a seat even though on a Thursday night I would considering this bar quite empty. Even 69 Colebrooke Row could squeeze more people in and its half its size. My drink was okay but my friend had the 'cappuccino baby' with tasted like gone off milk with coke and vodka. I gagged upon trying a sip. Will I be coming back? Definitely not. read more

In the land of a speakeasy / prohibition / old style cocktail bars, this one fits the bill. The only thing is that there is nothing all that great, exciting, or unique about it. Except that it has lots of space. Nice vibe, good cocktails, but nothing too unique. I'd rather be at nightjar or happiness forgets or colebrooke row for those prices. read more

I always have a great time here; no, the awesomest time. Not sure why ... maybe the semi pretentious nature of this place somehow trickles down to your senses and tingles them every which way, or perhaps because the somewhat erudite waiters and bar tenders lend an easy welcome to the place, or perhaps because I just have the funnest of friends. The space is adequate, roomy; I never feel too claustrophobic although its a cellar bar. However, like any place in London it's never an idea to show up as part of a mob unless you have a definitive reservation. The experience could be a bit overwhelming when you look at the fancy, well thought out and planned, and one might remark somewhat overdone, menu. You're almost certain to look at the menu and say, "How cool is that?!" The drinks are expensive. They're about as expensive as the bar in the Shard, without the view. Between £10-13 per drink. That's gotta be expensive. Especially since they're just a tad above average (let me know if you disagree). That having said, the Twisted Sisters, the Flip Inside out and Ferzi Fizz, are among my favourites, and are highly recommended. My issues with Whistling Shop are logistical and pricing related. So while I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back, but it would definitely be in the radar if I were in the area. read more

BLOCKS OF ICE. REAL BLOCKS OF ICE. But I'm seriously biased. The norm in Los Angeles and New York for an absurdly expensive cocktail (though London cocktail bars seem still to be at least 2x the price of even the nicest establishments in the aforementioned cities) is to fashion it with appropriate ice. As in, don't water down my otherwise exquisitely made beverage with ridiculous ice! The Whistling Shop abides by this unspoken code: the ice fits the drink, full stop. This bourbon drinker gives their sincere thanks for that. Oh yes, and everything else is great too. Drink your drinks here. Don't look at your bank statement after. read more

Cocktail list was a bit odd, none really appealed to me completely but all of them were surprisingly balanced and turned out impressive. The oolong tea cocktail was my favourite (could've done without the dish rag presentation) although the whisky sour one was very interesting and complex. Gin selection is one of the most impressive I've seen outside of Gin-specific bars. Downside is the service being slow, the drink selection not presented in a very clear way especially considering how dimly lit the bar is and the (off-menu) old fashioned wasn't good. Price is reasonable (£10-£11). It's a basement bar but phones do have mobile data reception and relatively spacious to accommodate groups of 6-8. read more

This place is a little underground bar. It's dark, woody, and is lit by dim candelight. There are bar stools, cushy leather seats, whatever you might like. Their menu looks really interesting, with ingredients like live bacteria and soil distillate. I settled on the Deadly Nightshade, which has cognac, super heat treated chocolate wine, apricot and aubergine crisp. The drink was interesting conceptually but the cocktail itself didn't blow me away with its taste. read more

Ya, so what this place is-- is it's not great. With cheesy 19 yr old boys mixed with try hard shoreditch crowd (potentially dudes who work in a mundane office desk in the nearby Liverpool street office). Um, there goes a pretentiously solid no. Menu is horribly designed by an intern or something, drinks are kinda slow and totally nothing special. But yea, do come when y'all are on company credit card. Or your second semi intimate tinder date. Why not? read more

Good music, blues that made me want to get up and dance, okay rather than transformatively amazing cocktails, intimate decor, a snug with a bathtub (presumably for gin), friendly staff. As quote unquote vintage ginjoint style bars go it's grand, sure. Average cost of a cocktail, about 11 pounds. There were nibbles on offer too but didn't have any this time around. I'd definitely like to come back here, nice vibe and, wonderfully, the music wasn't too loud so a good spot if you actually want to have a conversation (at least on a weeknight, don't know how rowdy a place our is on the weekend)! read more

We walked in and were seated at the group table. However the rest of the place was fairly empty. We wanted to finish the night with a nice cocktail. Cocktail list wasn't intriguing so we asked about gin and tonics. However our waitress left us again and didn't come back for a while. We left without a drink. The decor was a typical "speakeasy" set in the basement on worship street. Accessible by city folk on their way to shoreditch. I must say I am tired of the typical suspender wearing cocktail bars charging too much for a drink (9-12£). This bar was just that. And Without service on a Tuesday night with no crowds. read more

Just to preface: My actual rating is 3.5, but I decided to go closer to 4 than 3. When you walk into the Worship Street Whistling Shop, you'll need a minute to let your eyes adjust. I personally love the intimacy the low level lighting provides. I can't help but imagine all the private tête-à-têtes and clandestine affairs that occurred in this very place. The fact that it's located down stairs and in a basement gives a nod towards a speakeasy style, but the sign outside the door means it is just that: a nod. Although it was relatively early in the evening, we managed to snag three stools surrounding an old fashioned barrel serving as a table. Just around the corner though, I could see comfy settees and low tables and stools perfect for first dates. The decor consisted of wall paper or a mural (too busy conversing to look closely) that resembled bookshelves covered with books. I'm guessing this was someone's idea of creating a personal library-like setting. I wish I had taken more time to examine the bar area, but from the pictures on Yelp it looks amazing and with all the accoutrements to make you feel like you stepped back in time. Because we sat in the bar area, Greg ordered our drinks directly from the bartender - a Manhattan, Tom Collins and something with rye. All were delicious! Lots of flavor, good quality ingredients, and (at least for me) easy to sip and savor. Truly, my only complaint for the evening is the music was a tad too loud for my taste. read more

Lovely staff, great cocktails and atmosphere, it was very, very dark. Not really sure what I expected an old gin palace to look like, but apparantly its bare bricks and wooden barrel tables. Delicious and lots of fun, not too pricey for the high standard of drinks. read more

Likely Looking Londoners: Worship Street Whistling Shop As soon as I knew I was heading to London I started to compile a list of places that no matter what - I MUST VIST. This wasn't even on my radar but as soon as I landed almost every London foodie worth their salt Twittered me - 'get your arse down to the Whistling Shop'. I had no idea what they were talking about - but a short search later showed that this great new bar has just opened its doors to massive acclaim for their cocktails, all dreamed up in their onsite laboratory. And no - not like the god-awful laboratory bar tourist trap housed in one of Melbourne's laneways. In true London fashion, had you not known what you were looking for you would have passed straight by, let alone realised there is one of the worlds best bars hidden in the basement. Not to mention the fact that it sits in an area that really has nothing else going on in it during the weekend (situated as it is in the Moorgate-Liverpool Street banker Monday to Friday enclave). You need to make a special decision to travel here knowing you probably will have to travel elsewhere to get any other food or drink And look at the prices of the cocktails - the equivalent of no more than $12. We decided upon the Black Cat's Martini - Beefeater gin, martini extra dry, vermouth, removed cream. Fantastic drinking and perfectly executed flavours with an alcohol content to blow your socks off. The Civility Cocktail - Lillet Blanc, martini extra dry, WS^2 exhaustion tonic, WS^2 rasberry syrup. This cocktail was a very easy drinker and had a nice rounded sweet edge that worked well. My brother decided upon the Broiler-Maker - Hennessy Fine de Cognac, super heat treated beer 'vermouth', WS^2 roasted yeast bitters. This was one of my favourites and any beer lover who doesn't mind a flirtini or two may be lead down a very dark path with this concoction. I just had to choose the most outrageously sounding cocktail: Radiation Aged Cocktail - Diplomatico rum, WS^2 chip pan bitters, Campari, Dubonnet, Absinthe, WS^2 Grenadine, Irradiated. Straight off the bat you know that mix is going to be lethal with a Whistling twist. The first mouthful was a right-hook to the jaw but as the flavours mixed together it became one of the most elegantly balanced cocktails I have ever had. When I once again live in London this is going to be the bar where I will drag friends along and watch their faces as they too stumble upon one of London's true secret basement bars.

I was really excited to come here. I've been to Purl Bar before and apparently they are owned by the same people. Booked a table,off I went. Looks good, smelt a bit funny though! Had a wee look at the menu and looked exciting. Tried our first cocktails. They were.....alright. Tried our second ones...better but still nowhere near as exciting as Purl Bar. I think some of the reviews here have hit the nail on the hear when they say Pub, not a speak easy, not a cocktail bar. Honestly, I think there's nothing wrong with that. I'm a big fan of pubs. But when you are expecting something else, it can be a bit of a let down. Other then that it is quite a nice place to sit and the crowd seemed to be having a good time so the atmosphere was good. Might return, but not for a special occasion. read more

Hand-crafted cocktails and attentive bartenders are key to a good social drinking experience. The setting is a hipster like environment with some interesting cocktails. We celebrated a friend's birthday there and it was our first time. Good cocktails are hard to find in London however that seems to be changing with places like the Whistling Shop opening up. It's a great place to meet friends and hang out. If you stick around long enough you might get some good old fashion prank entertainment by asking a drunk person for one of the books off the wallpapered shelf. Just go and you'll understand. Whistling Shop is a fun and interesting little place to wet your whistle y'all. Cheers! read more

I went to the Whilstling Shop with two female friends and was appalled by the service we received. When entering the venue as three women in our early 30s the doorman didn't check the reservations list to see if we had a booking. Only when a male friend arrived did he look. Instead we were refused entry on grounds as 'one of us' was too intoxicated. Seeing as we were sober, we asked which one. And in what seemed like a strange playground game the doorman said 'I'm not telling you which one'. He then refused to say anything beyond, 'I stand by my decision'. The doorman was incapable of being reasonable or articulating himself. As 3 professionals we were left with the distinct feeling that his reaction to us was motivated by other factors. I have never been engaged with in this way in a venue in London and it's quite dingy inside! read more

Lovely place with really friendly bartenders. I've been there both for a private event and just on a regular evening. Both times were great experiences. For the private event we undertook a cocktail mixing course. What fun! On our evening out, we ordered off menu and were delighted with the bartender's choice drinks. You absolutely must taste the cream gin. Very indulgent, but totally delicious. read more

One of the worst places.... the drinks are good but the serving it's really bad. I mean over 15 minutes for a drink on a not at all busy night. And one bartender? Really? Also no WiFi underground.... read more

I really enjoyed having drinks at this fun little bar. I discovered it on Yelp and I'm really glad I did! Unlike most bars in Moorgate, this one is actually open on a Saturday night. I went around 7 and there weren't a lot of people. One half of the bar bar service and the other is table service. The cocktails are a bit inventive, so we had some wine. I love the glasses! They're very elegant. The ambiance is really fun - the wallpaper has "bookshelves" and you feel like you're drinking in a library. It's very fun and I would most certainly return. read more

Way less impressed with itself than other local speakeasies...I'm looking at you, Nightjar. It's like your local acquired speakeasy decor and switched from beer to tasty cocktails. Bartenders are down to earth, knowledgeable and aim to please. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're worried about getting in at the others or have a slightly larger party. read more

Had heard good things about this place, so decided to amble up to Whistling Shop on a post-Tayyabs jaunt. The overall feel of the place is nice - similar to the bar area in Callooh Callay, and I was somewhat amused by the bookshelf wallpaper. As for the drinks, I plumped for a Mandrake's Fizz (white wine cocktail with peach, elderflower jelly), and the Bacca thing (can't remember the exact name) - Chase Rhubarb, English sparkling wine and cardamom. I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed - both had decent flavour, but the Mandrake was too dominated by the white wine and needed to be a little bit sweeter to bring out the other flavours. The second was interesting, I liked the cardamom flavour, although the rhubarb was a bit anonymous. They also do a selection of Camden Brewery beers which are relatively reasonable at £4/pint (hey, that's what the Camden Brewery bar charges...). However, I thought that the additional service charge was a bit cheeky when we weren't getting table service and I really didn't feel I got much value for money considering the comparable pricing to places such as Nightjar, yet with the lower quality of the drinks. On the plus side, it wasn't hugely full on Saturday night, so it may be a place to go if you find that others are booked up. read more

So what do you do when a friend has finished her exams for a 3 year course? You treat her to a celebratory cocktail of course! Plus (and let's face it the more important reason) you get an excuse to go out on a weekday! Do I need an excuse? No. But it's nice to not have to justify it to your bank balance the next day. I decided to try a recommended Yelp spot, diving back in time to this late Victorian/ early 20th Century speakeasy. We were early (previous plans fell through) but the bar was really accommodating and let us have the table earlier than I'd booked. We were shown to a 'table' - I use the word loosely because it was an old fashioned tea tray balanced expertly on an old Victorian bath tub, high sides and everything! We sat on benches (the ladies complained but a scatter cushion made it comfortable enough for me) and marvelled at the surroundings. This was an incredibly authentic bar, down to the small details - something I hadn't seen too much in other speakeasies. Nice to know that someone had great attention to detail. The menu had great names for the cocktails and were priced between £9-11, more than a good enough price. The ingredients sounded a tad pretentious, things you wouldn't often had heard of at all before. But we jumped in with 3 choices that the waitress then described to us. Drinks were served (eventually, friendly but slow service) to us - sweet and yet bitter in a large wine glass tasting of raspberries, a short drink with desiccated pear and pungent alcoholic flavours and a green concoction called Witches Finger (apple based alcohols with a rice pudding foam). All drank very easily but didn't quite have that extra something I look for in a 5* cocktail. Another downside, we couldn't get hold of the waitress in a fairly empty bar to get our bill so we had to go to the front desk. Disappointing. Overall, top marks for originality, decor and friendly service. 4* because it was slow, the lighting was too dark and it didn't have the 'Je ne sais quoi' element read more

Quite enjoyed this cocktail bar. Staff was knowledgeable, and the place much less pretentious than some others in London. Importantly, there's quite a bit of seating space (though reservations still recommended). Would happily bring a group here, can cater to those who like cocktails, but also a nice enough beer selection if not looking to break the bank. read more

Shhhhhh. It's almost like a secret bar here. Very dark downstairs, very private and in the know hidden amongst the backstreets of the city and Shoreditch. Some cool décor but a very cool dram and whiskey list. Saying that the prices are VERY expensive. So doubt I'd be a regular just more of a special treat. read more

Love this bar! Staff is beyond nice. Ample room but still feels cozy. Good bar food (charcuterie, cheese, olives, yummmm!). And obviously tasty cocktails. i highly recommend the homemade liquors they have. I had a very lovely gin one on the rocks! read more

What we'd heard: Time Out award-winning bar with insano mad-scientist cocktails in a Steampunk Victorian-age bar on the fashionable edge of Shoreditch/Hoxton/central East London. What we got: Excellent insano mad-scientist cocktails (irradiated ingredients, herbal infusions etc. etc.) that actually were excellently presented, superbly flavourful and expertly mixed, by attentive, friendly staff. BUT the interior was nowhere near as cool, hip or well done as had been made out most likely these guys found a space (under a pub) and just painted it up a bit. It was also too dark in there and a bit unloved feeling menus were frayed and tatty for instance. We went Thursday night, about 1030pm and it was fairly empty not very buzzy, and with a crowd of middle-aged people in suits who'd strayed from the City perhaps, rather than young Hoxton things. With a bit of love, some subtle promotion and a bit of a smarten up, this bar could be spectacular. As it is, it's great for interesting cocktails but not a lot else. We didn't try food. read more

Just another London cocktail bar trying so hard to be in the U.S. Sadly, the drinks do not come with American customer service: the bartender will pour you a glass of lukewarm tap water, but don't ask for ice or soda water. The menu is a joke (circular, with dots indicating the price range), and the overpriced drinks do not even include the 12.5% service charge. read more
