If you are looking for calm nice relaxing place to enjoy your cocktail with a rustic look and feel, this is the place to be.
I had been here on weekday it had good vibes and the hospitality is top notch. The staff always made sure our cocktails were made tailored to our liking. They had good knowledge about spirits and recommendations were amazing.

Went for their cocktail making class, so much fun! Relaxed atmosphere where you get to make 3 cocktails each in your own time, showed how to make them and then go behind the bar to do it yourself. Francisco who taught us was incredibly friendly and taught us well. The cocktails themselves were beautiful too and pretty unique! Would recommend to anyone for the cocktail class or just to go for a few drinks.

Incredible time here! I booked this venue for my partners 25th birthday and we had such a great time with the music, drinks and service, outstanding. Planning with Sophie was an absolute ease. Couldn't recommend this place any more highly. Thank you for having us!!

What an amazing bar! Great service, cocktails, music and atmosphere! I celebrated my 40th birthday there and can't recommend this place enough.
It's a bar in London that ticks all the boxes for a great night out. Highly Recommended.
Special shout outs go to Soph for helping with the organisation and Fredrik for handling everything on the night and made sure everything was perfect.

Ronnie is the star of the show, we booked master class cocktail making and it's was my first experience but he made it so fun and exciting, I can highly recommend. Mauro in the clock room made us feel welcome and safe. Best night out in London ❤️😚 will definitely return and recommend x

A hidden gem in the city. I organised my cousin's hen here on a Saturday night and I was really impressed with the super friendly and helpful staff, amazing music and great vibes. We enjoyed our cosy alcove area. The DJ was excellent - he played RnB and garage. Drinks aren't cheap but the service is one of the best I've come across. Highly recommended!

Took their cocktail master class with Arnaud and met the owner Fredrik, both wonderful people, very knowledgeable and friendly. I had a fantastic time learning to create some of their signature and some classic cocktails. Would absolutely recommended visiting.

We went into The Lucky Pig on a Saturday afternoon for the coktail masterclass. This was a totally different experince to other cocktail classes I've been to and I really enjoyed it! We got to take a look at the menu and choose which cocktail(s) we liked the look of. Our bartender, Arnaud (who is an absolute legend), first showed us how to make the cocktail and let us try so we knew what it should taste like. He then invited two of us behind the bar to do it ourselves. At the end of our class the general manager, Fredrik, came out and we all had a really nice chat about all sorts. In short, lovely staff and fantastic drinks- I would highly recommend stopping by.

Had my 30th birthday here at the weekend. Soph the events organiser was so quick to respond to any of my queries and helped me get everything set up. Fredrik and the team was so welcoming and so lovely on the night and even created special themed cocktail for me and the party!
Everyone who came loved the atmosphere and the overall vibe. The staff were fantastic and helped me with everything that was needed! Thanks so much for a great night! I couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend!

Great cocktail bar with a good selection of cocktails, excellent space and atmosphere! The staff is really nice and helpful. There was a live on the Thursday which was brilliant. Great place for a date or a night out with friends.

I had my 40th birthday party at The Lucky Pig. We had the best night! I would highly recommend this cute little cocktail bar. The drinks were fantastic and the dj was fantastic!

Nice venue with music downstairs from various artists from different genres.
Cocktails are fantastic, the bartender is very friendly and attentive.
The downstairs venue has a cozy little sections equipped with comfortable seating.
Tomas Kmieliauskas
The friendliest staff, cool crowd and superb cocktails you won't find anywhere else
Marga Dominguez
We went there for a pre-dinner drink and we discovered they have open microphone nights. Lots of artists were there and we heard some nice performers. This happened on a Wednesday, so not sure it is everyday/week. The decoration of the bar was nice and the staff were friendly. They have a quite long list of cocktails and we enjoyed ours. A place to go back. If you are a big party, book a table.
Anna Miller
Dodgy little cocktail bar from the outside, dodgy little cocktail bar from the inside. That said, cocktails were brilliant, staff was great, and entertainment was amazing.
Génesis Coelho
The music was EXCELLENT! What a good night we had! - We didn't have any food but drinks were also great!
Robert Parkin
This cocktaiil bar is below ground so only accessable by the able bodied but inside is rather nice. Being a cocktail bar beer drinkers have little choice with a very small selection of bottled beers but there is wine too. The food offering is mainly pizza which was nice but clearly not at the same level as a proper restaurant. A friend had a cocktail and she said it was lovely though to me it seemed perhaps rather small. Pricing was on the high side.
Went to see some live music and the bar has a small stage area with excellent sound.
Clean loos where everything worked made a change however one of the emergancy exits illuminated signs was kaput hence one star knocked off.
Caroline Basha
They are great and easy to work with when planning my event! Soph & Fredric were very accommodating and patient with any questions i had. Bar itself has amazing vibes and is sooo fun
Rhonda Ferry
Nice bar but the staff should show more respect to the musicians and the clientele - noise limit for the music but the bar staff were incredibly loud.Good cocktail menu.
Adrienne Aiken
If anyone is looking for a central London venue for a night out in style, The Lucky Pig is definitely a great choice. They create some fabulous cocktails, the staff are friendly and the decor/vibe is pure decadence! You can also hire the venue for private parties.
Andrea Navarro
What is the point of having a guest list, receiving a confirmation and being denied entry??? Very rude manager couldn't have cared less.
Holly Evers
What an awful place - I'd never been here before last night and will never go again. The manager is vile and randomly picks on groups of girls, plus the espresso martini was one of the worst I've had.
Andy Pratt
This bar offers reservations on the website and confirms via email but will refuse to let you in when you show up with your group.
We were out trying to celebrate a birthday and had to make entirely new plans because they don't respect their own system. On top of it all they were rude to us at the door. Save your night, go somewhere else.
Danielle Giles
Amazing cocktails and a great atmosphere! The staff are always super friendly. Great music on a Friday and Saturday too! It's My new favourite Place!
Michelle Keen
Nice little cocktail bar thoroughly enjoyed - atmosphere great and even had a boogy to the music
Chris Thorn
I play down this lovely place with my band Ruby & The Dukes and every time have had a great time the staff are all lovely and serve wonderful cocktails!
What more do you need..)

� the cocktail ninja! Great place, great atmosphere, great crowd.

Disappointed. We arrived with high expectations to have a nice evening and the security guy said it was not allowed. A booking is required and this information does not appear on the web site so we wasted time and mobey to arrive there for nothing...
Avinash Khekale
Cozy place nice food and prompt staff .good experience
Rajita Desai
Amazing experience ,music awesome ,cocktails ,staff great too
Hendrik Conti
La musica che piace a me, anni '80 e '90. Cocktail buonissimi, staff divertente ma allo stesso tempo che sa fare bene il suo lavoro. Consigliatissimo!!!
Jonny Langleben
Ridiculous place. Pretentious beyond belief and costs so much more for what you get. Waited 30 minutes in a queue at the bar and got completely ignored.. Then I remembered I'm waiting 30 minutes for the privelidge of paying some guy £10 for a whiskey.., not worth it..

Great place to visit � ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

I spent a wonderful evening at The Lucky Pig last week. The ambience inside is second to none- such a unique setting with beautiful decor and quirky seating areas. Funky music accompanied the evening which made for the perfect backdrop for my friend and I to enjoy an array of exotic cocktails concocted by very talented and entertaining bar staff. Thank you- I will definitely be back!!
Ani Baker
I have celebrated my birthday there and I can definitely say it has been one of the greatest nights out. Loved the 1920s decor, great mixture of people and the music was a bonus.
Nicck Whitey
Fun and chilled out bar, had a good laugh and perfect place to meet up with some old friends!

We started with the Isadora Belle – a concoction of Belvedere Raspberry Vodka, framboise, pineapple juice and Prosecco, served in a martini glass and was delicious. We also tried a more light, refreshing Grey Goose Le Fizz – Grey Goose Vodka, lime, elderflower and soda.

From one extreme to another - whereas Crazy Bear (where we'd been first) was all about dressy excess and exotic drinks, The Lucky Pig is a casual establishment more focused on having a good time. It serves classic cocktails and they're all a much more manageable £9.50. But, we were here for the Challenge so at first we didn't look at the regular menu. Instead, upon proffering my Chambord passport, I was shown a specially created Chambord menu with four to choose from. I had a julep and Stephen had an Isadora Belle - a fruity number with bubbles.<br/><br/>Both were very nice to drink and persuaded us to have another from their regular menu. We decided to stick to traditional gender roles for this - Stephen had a masculine old fashioned and I had a feminine cocktail that blended wine with mango vodka and elderflower. It was a cool and refreshing drink but still a little spiky from the vodka. Stephen's old fashioned was a very good one, not being too overpoweringly straight alcohol but still plenty strong.<br/><br/>We then chatted to the bartender quite a bit who was telling us about what goes on each day of the week and the ethos of the bar being about somewhere you can have a dance on the weekends while still enjoying a good drink. The bar decor itself reflected this - it was definitely channelling the distressed glamour look that Shoreditch and Dalston do so well. It reminded us of Ruby's although in this case, the look was undoubtedly manufactured. The music, even on a Tuesday was fairly crowd-pleasing - some Alt J, a little James Brown, Ray LaMontagne. I can imagine them playing more of the same, but more upbeat on the weekends.

I found myself walking to The Lucky Pig as the sinusitis kicked in, precipitated with a does of orange - yes, ORANGE - goo coming from my nose and fighting the throng of angry commuters pouring from Goodge Street Station on one of those London nights where it wasn’t quite raining, but if you didn't have an umbrella you would regret it. I didn’t, and did. It was going to take a special kind of bar to right this perfect storm of wrong.<br/><br/>The ‘Pig is hardly perfect. It’s location, in uncharted Fitzrovia, somewhere grubby, south of the BT Tower - is well off the beaten track, though we stumbled upon Bubbledogs as we made our way there. It’s on Clipstone street. Does that help? <br/><br/>Actually, it’s *below* Clipstone Street, in an old cellar, accessed by a flight of those rickety, slippery staircases you see hanging off the side of Manhattan tenements. The whole location - inside and out - seems like an afterthought, though intentionally so, in that kind of downtrodden, like-I-give-a-damn way that, for my sins, really does work rather well in setting the scene and readying the wallet. Inside, you are treated to toilets whose doors are marked with Patsy Stone and Michael Caine, walls without paint or paper, arbitrarily adorned with pseudo-retro poster prints of curvy fifties gals. All this is offset with plush and ample seating arrangements, where everyone - latecomer or otherwise - will win. The mixture of deep armchairs, futons, chaises longues and cushioned alcoves inspired me to write my last post, inspired by a bar that has finally got bumparking right. Hallelujah!<br/><br/>Now, spare seating does mean that the ‘Pig was not full… of course, a half-empty bar does get the mind racing as to what it could be that is preventing the townsfolk from settling here. I doubt it’s the backwoods location - Londoners, what with their fraught lives and penchant for the darkness can sniff out a good bar a mile away. So we allayed the nerves and got on with some serious drinking in this self-styled ‘decadent drinking den’.<br/><br/>The cocktail menu, all priced at nine-fifty, transcends all four corners of the mixologist’s spectrum, from sweet to bitter, from classic to original. The bon-viveurs will not leave disappointed nor wanting, though from such a menu expect a few metaphorical balls to be dropped. The steal of the evening was a well-thought out Breakfast Martini (remember that?!), awesome in its tartness and citrusy linger (though a toast garnish was lacking). But then again, does gin ever disappoint? The other day, someone who’s cropped up called Elle argued the case a lot more articulately than I ever could;<br/><br/>“…that’s because cider tastes like tramp’s wee, whereas gin is like licking the beads of sweat off the brow of an ancient bacchanalian goddess”<br/><br/>Other highlights from the ‘Pig included the rum section, where a Trinidad Swizzle was perfectly sharp and spicy and just the right side of weird, whereas the Cuba Cuba was served in a hurricane glass, so the fact that it was made with wine, pineapple and passionfruit and was summery as shit is completely irrelevant. The Isadora Belle was all about strawberry, raspberry and prosecco, a little too fruity (even for me) but still good and lickable. <br/><br/>Whereas most the menu was a hit parade, some things came across as a random collection of ingredients, mashed together because they sounded right at the time. The Martini Royale brought together lime, mint, prosecco and Martini Bianca. Despite good intentions, it all seemed to collapse into itself and at the end of the day, tasted like water. Having said that, I was snotty so maybe, just maybe I’ll concede that on this occasion, it was my taste buds, not the gregarious chap behind the bar. On that note, there is no waiter service so, like Argos, you pay and collect.<br/><br/>We left earlier than I would have liked as frankly, I was feeling like my nose had a bendy bus stuck up there, and a combination of no lunch, paracetamol and three rounds of strong liquor had left me yearning for the recorded Holby City then a warm bed. But you better bloody believe I’ll be back, as The Lucky Pig rocks. It may be dressed down as a trendy, mock-vintage ubiquitous undercroft of alcoholic capers - delivering all that is promised - but it’s friendly down here too and comfortable, in both the mental and literal sense. <br/><br/>Above the Lucky Pig a section of pavement is punctuated with those glass blocks. Lit from above by a street light, the shadows of passers by flickered on our table as we drank. Even that was a different experience, warming and clandestine, further inspiring feelings of “yes, this place is a keeper”.<br/><br/>Full review and pics here: http://www.thefunkytruth.com/2014/02/08/discerning-drinking-ch34-the-lucky-pig/
