    Had dream dram tasting with Edoardo. Was simply amazing! Would highly recommend him and Milroys. Whether you are a seasoned whisk(e)y person or never had it before... definitely come here. You will not regret it. Well, you might regret tasting things you may never taste again in this lifetime! Go! Thank me later!

    No better place in London for Whisky! They have a huge selection from around the world (over 800 at the time of writing), with really friendly and knowledgeable staff who always make sure they find just the right whisky for you.

    Big love to Rich who took us through our tasting tonight. We had a great time and his insights on the drinks and industry were as deep and illustrious as the whiskys he provided. Definitely recommended!

    More rare whiskies than you'd be able to try in a year's worth of visits. Prices aren't bad either, they work with you to select within your budget. Loved all their choices, would have been an arm and a leg in the USA. Cute ambiance as well with good music, very attentive staff, gave us some great recommendations of other places to visit.

    First of all, servants are extremely pleasant. It’s a huge pleasure just to come and have a small talks with them. Then they are great specialists in all kind of whiskeys and recommend anything for your kind of tastes. Must have to visit!!

    Great whiskey tasting experience. We did the around the world connoisseur package and we had a great selection of whiskeys to sample. Thankful to our host for educating us on whiskey 🤙🏾

    We had an amazing whisky tasting experience with Eduardo. It was very relaxed and informative, we learned a fair bit about whisky and its history. Nice atmosphere and decor. Of course, astonishing selection of whiskies from around the world. Definitely recommend this place.

    I went there for a free sample I had won by participating in Glenmorangie's Wonder Hotline in the market nearby. I normally dont drink a lot of alcohol, so was a bit questioning whether I could take "hard alcohol"- and I don't regret I did! They gave me a "cherry bomb" (whiskey plus cherry essence and ginger ale, regulariky 9 Euros) to sample and I swear it was the best thing I ever had. The bar is also very cosy, well located and seems to have a very good selection.

    Absolutely amazing place for a drink. The staff really know their stuff and spot on with their recommendations. Went for a whiskey tasting session (Starward). Thoroughly good fun!

    We are lucky to call Milroys our local. Amazing selection of international whiskies, knowledgeable staff, and great clientele - many who are regulars, so there’s a great community vibe. For those looking for a relaxed drink with their 4-legged pals, it’s a dog-friendly venue, too. I also enjoy the tasting events they host. It’s a great way to try new things and learn about a particular distillery. Be sure to check the board at the bar or their event site for details.

    Very friendly service and great drinks! I really enjoyed the vibes there. Highly recommend it

  • 5/5 Greg M. 1 year ago on Google
    I ‘had’ to duck in here out of a downpour. It’s strange to find yourself in London getting a better selection of bourbon than you would find in the U.S. at really reasonable prices. Like $20 for a glass of G. Stag. The staff was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable. Able to say ‘if you like this Kentucky bourbon then you will probably like this Scotch or this Japanese Whiskey’. Another location in Sodo.

    Great place to appreciate a good whiskey. Staff were great and very knowledgeable without being patronising. Would absolutely recommend to all.

  • 5/5 Rhiannon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for whiskey- great staff! Great range! Just an amazing time! Can recommend to any whiskey lover to make the trip to Shoreditch!

  • 5/5 Richard K. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Francis R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing whisky and really friendly/helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Johnny T. 1 year ago on Google
    Every scotch you can imagine for every taste! Blown away by their selection. Extremely knowledgeable staff, definite connoisseurs working here and super chill atmosphere. Felt like I was drinking at my best mates house! The kind of Friend that has the cool parents that let us drink responsibly lol I hope this is a compliment! I will be back to show off to people I want to show a great time!

    Great whiskey bar with immaculate vibes. Sammie was a fantastic bartender who really knew her stuff and made us feel super welcome. Huge whiskey selection with delicious highball whiskey cocktails too. I'm sad I didn't discover this place sooner!

  • 5/5 Scott B. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a fantastic trip to Milroys last night. We had already been to the Soho location and were eager to visit the Spitalfields one. They have an enormous variety of whiskey and excellent staff. They were very knowledgeable and were able to recommend a few right in the flavor profiles we were after. Can’t wait to go again!

  • 5/5 Chris l. 3 years ago on Google
    Incredible cocktails. The sum balance of flavour somehow surpasses the exquisite quality of the amazing component parts. Bartender's knowledge defied logic and it's a great spot to drink inside or outside. Plus, they put a picture of my dog Sasha on the wall. Couldn't recommend more.

  • 5/5 Chris W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar, and very knowledgeable staff. Their selection is unbelievable and great quality.

  • 5/5 Laura A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing bar! Great vibe and incredible selection of whiskies.

  • 5/5 Boxtholomew 2 years ago on Google
    Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Quickly becoming one of my favourite drinking spots. Always something new to try. Looking forward to next time

  • 5/5 Joseph L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a really good Nikka whisky tasting with food pairing event. Great whisky and great food. Also, very good value. Would definitely be on the look out for future events.

  • 5/5 Faisal L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable Mixologists! We had a really fun night decamping at the bar drinking cocktails!

  • 5/5 Guy W. 2 years ago on Google
    A celebration of Japanese Whiskey from Nikka expertly paired with amazing food from the kitchen and Milroys. Each whisky was brought to life by the experts, with passion and knowledge to make a fantastic evening. All the food was carefully constructed to match and enhance the flavours of the whisky. 3 and a half hours of excellence, fun and great company. I would definitely recommend this experience. ❤️
