    It’s a lovely cocktail bar with cosy atmosphere in the heart of Shoreditch area. My friends and I felt welcomed and enjoyed our night. The staff were cool, the serving style is way much creative and the interior design was stunning! The music list is one of the bests I enjoyed in a cocktail bar. “Starry Night” and “Bank Job” were balanced and tasteful. Highly recommended!

    Love this place! Great cocktails, every cocktail has its own story behind it, very interesting. This bar is not pretentious at all, you feel relaxed there. Kind and warm services, highly recommended.

    Had a great time at cocktail trading company. Went there without a reservation on Friday night but I was able a table quickly. Cocktails were great. Their menu is hysterical and the place has great vibe although a little small. Service was also excellent.

    One of the best experiences I’ve had ! The menu was so rogue and funny - styled like a Window 2007 screen with funny bits and delicious cocktails The cocktails do actually come in the glasses pictured so you can get a paper crane or a mushroom glass if you’d like. Definitely worth visiting The staff were super funny and helpful !

    They provide special cocktails. Navigator sounds strange, but tastes good! Scottish egg is amazing! The service is perfect, and the atmosphere is cozy. People can chat and play board games, really have a great time!

    Brilliant and unique experience. All cocktails are flat rate £11 and they’re amazing quality. The menu has some really unique drinks which all have their own specific backstories. The presentation of the drinks is amazingly ludicrous that it’s an experience in itself. They’re also very tasty too and there’s something on the menu for everyone. You can also get your own custom cocktails made for the same price.

    Such a fun bar! They clearly go above and beyond in making fun, creative cocktails that will get people talking. We had almost as much fun reading about the cocktails than we did drinking them! The waitress was extremely friendly and welcoming and overall it was a very pleasant experience, and well worth the price premium.

    Wonderful intimate bar in the heart of Shoreditch serving up their cocktails with panache and flare. Staff are friendly and their passion and knowledge of cocktails definitely shows in their drink creations. Great place for a date or to catch up with friends. Would definitely visit again to sample more of their cocktails!

    literally awesome. Everything is great here, cocktails, atmosphere and customer service. VS royale is a must try, recommended even for those who don't have sweet tooth. Whip cream on top has light, citrus taste which perfectly goes well with cognac in a cocktail.

    I wish I could give this spot more than 5 stars! Our experience was wonderful as a large group and I had a very easy booking process over email for a birthday celebration. The drinks were super fun and thoughtfully curated, we really enjoyed the amount of detail that went into the menu and how caring the staff was (keeping us very hydrated and happy!). The cocktails tasted lovely and had very unique presentations, the menu had flat prices for all the drinks on offer and also quite a few options that weren't overly sweet - so lots of choice!

    Such a fun and creative cocktail place! The amount of detail they make into the cocktails (from how they are presented to the worry descriptions on the menu) is incredible. The house cocktails are really good, and they make classics on request. We spent a good amount of time entertained with the jokes on the menu (don’t miss the never have I ever game on the last pages). The atmosphere is cool, the staff is fast and friendly. Would recommend 100%!

    Quaint little bar in shoreditch with a unique cocktail selection - ideal for dates. Highly recommend the Miami Mushroom and Margarita.

    Amazing cocktail bar in Shoreditch! Staff were so welcoming and kind and the drinks were fantastic! Overall music and vibe were so great too. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

    Brilliant little cocktail bar with very unique options on the menu. Their menus are themed and changes from time to time. Decent pricing. I will go again and definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a little different.

    This is my kind of bar! Happened to be galavanting about Shoreditch and was immediately charmed by the decor, lighting and music. Grabbed myself a seat at the bar next to the open window and had a blast trying out all the cocktails including the old bae, navigator and my favorite - the nahhhgarita which actually comes wrapped in a tortilla. 🤯 Holly & Kelly were way hospitable (P.S. hope you had a blast in Bali!). This place is equally sexy, sophisticated and casual - just oozes cool and is great for both locals & tourists looking for a a solid hang.

    This is such a unique and delightful bar! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The drinks are delicious and unique and they’re all £12!

  • 5/5 Teresa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant cocktails with even better service! Incredibly reasonable prices too, given the 5 star drinks/service. An absolute must when in Shoreditch!

  • 5/5 Gwen K. 1 year ago on Google
    The drinks were amazing! And the presentation… so fun! The Cocktail Trading Company was one of our favorite places we experienced in London. The menu is truly unique and it was hard to pick which drinks to try- but each one was delicious.

  • 5/5 Christine K. 1 year ago on Google
    The cocktails here are amazing - they are all nicely balanced and creative too. The "bank job" was my favourite. It was my second time here on a Friday night and we didn't have a reservation but we got a table straightaway. Staff are super knowledgeable and helpful!

  • 4/5 Meesh C. 1 year ago on Google
    Such unique cocktails, really enjoyed it! Took a while to get the attention of servers, but I think it was due to our table location so hard to see. So much variety of drinks, something for everyone and all very uniquely presented in random items. We both got tequila based cocktails, and woah did they pack a punch. Very nice though

  • 5/5 Isabell R. 11 months ago on Google
    This bar was simply an experience. Three of us were there on a Saturday evening. A reservation was not necessary, we were immediately provided with a glass of water and warmly welcomed. Even better than the very individual and high quality cocktails is the service. Exceptional and indescribably good. Attentive and at the same time unobtrusive, advisory and open to personal suggestions or requests. All in all, a cocktail bar like no other - who needs a skybar when you can have such a feel-good atmosphere? We will gladly come again! P.S.: The prices are - measured by the service - absolutely tolerable and according to the performance!!!

    Great cocktail experience!! 🖤 Their original cocktail list is carefully designed to the last detail. The whole theme, the names of the drinks, the way they are served- there's no room for coincidence. Not feeling too adventurous? It's okay, their lovely staff is patient and knowledgeable, so just ask for any classic cocktail which you can trim to your liking. Cozy interior makes you just want to sit there and keep on sipping on those delicious boozy wonders until you wallet runs dry (or you black out, this stuff is strong too). These guys know what they're doing and they are doing it right.

    Truly unique and delicious cocktails served in a relaxed and informal but adult environment. Incredible service where the staff actually value your patronage, and unlike any other I've had in a London bar. No chavs, no thundering music, no Carling. A slice of heaven.

  • 5/5 Louise D. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful bar! Best value for money on good quality elaborate cocktails in London. Similar cocktails in a other fancy bar would cost you double! The staff is absolutely lovely. Go, it's great. (Just a tip, don't sit under the Aircon as it can get chilly if directly beneath it)

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic cocktails all for £10, incredibly knowledgeable, fun and charismatic staff and its super easy to find. What more could you ask for 🥰

  • 5/5 DK D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best cocktails we have ever had...period! Amazing place with the best cocktails options. All cocktails were unique and one of a kind. Great place that we will definitely be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Theresa N. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Cocktail bar! The menu had so much love for details and was so fun to read. The drinks were absolutely delicious, well-balanced and imaginative! Perfect service - our waiters were all so attentive and engaged in some friendly conversation and jokes. My sister and I stumbled into this bar walking through Shoreditch and we both agree this was the best bar we ever enjoyed drinks at! Highest recommendation!
