Delicious cocktails in a very cool setting!
We had a fab time at Merchant House. The cocktails tasted delicious and it felt like a really lovely and intimate experience. The cocktails were very strong - we recommend eating beforehand!!!

Fun, tasty, knowledgeable!
Tiago was put host for our experience and clearly knows his stuff. He had a fun and descriptive way of describing the drinks and origins and had great suggestions for some new cocktails. He was a fun host and it was a boozy fun experience

Fantastic experience, something nice and different
The Brig is a gorgeous little space and from minute 1 to 60 we were enchanted by the wonderful manner and expertise of Russell as he mixed cocktail after expert cocktail. This was something different and special for our anniversary and we had a brilliant time. Packing in 3 cocktails and one to take back to the main bar you certainly get your money's worth for anyone thinking this is a steep price for only an hour. Highly recommend.

Amazing (hic)!
What a fab experience. It is truly a teensy space. We told our bartender, Dominic, our flavor preferences and he started mixing away and with one exception got it right each time - 5 cocktails in an hour. Warning, though, they only have rum, gin and whisk(e)y (and prosecco). No other spirits. All in all, well worth it. Highly recommend it when you have something to celebrate...or, just because.

Fantastic evening with attentive bartender
We had a great evening at the Brig and would highly recommended paying it a visit. The bartender was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, even allowing us to get involved in making some of the cocktails. He got us to try some cocktails we would never normally pick and broadened our horizons. Please remember to eat beforehand! We stayed after at the Merchant House, which was also lovely.

Very enjoyable
What a fantastic present this made! We had a great time in the speakeasy, which is just next door to the cocktail bar. The bartender was brilliant - great fun and very helpful in recommending cocktails that we would like. The hour passes really quickly and it would be great to have the option to book the experience for just a little bit longer , perhaps 90 minutes so it doesn’t feel so rushed. Would thoroughly recommend this !!

Great experience and excellent value for money
I got this as a present for my partner's birthday and we both absolutely loved it. The barman was attentive and sociable but not overpoweringly so. The cocktails he made were excellent. He made about 15 full cocktails in total and after the hour was up my boyfriend and I were seated in the main bar and given all of the cocktails to finish in our own time (we didn't finish all of them). Great value for money, all in all! But definitely eat first.

An unexpected experience!
As described, The Brig was a fun adventure to find, down a small alley off a small and bustling street. We were greeted by the very friendly and knowledgable, David, who welcomed us and proceeded to make a number of delicious cocktails.

Fabulous
A fantastic experience at The Brig, a quaint bar for up to 4 people. Tiego, our mixologist was brilliant. He mixed some great bespoke cocktails and was very informative about the different Gins, Whiskies, Rums and mixers used. This is a must visit and we will visit again.

Great way to spend an hour
Really cool place to go. Bartender very knowledgeable and suggested some great cocktails to try while giving some background on the spirits. Highly recommended. Just a shame that we only had an hour.

Superb experience!
Had an hour in The Brig at Merchant House with Simon. This is London’s smallest bar... we had Champagne on arrival followed by Gin cocktails, Martinis and even cocktails with some spirits we hadn’t heard of... like genever from Holland... my partner has never been able to drink whisky... but there was a whisky drink for her. Really super experience. Was a gift from the kids. Loved every minute in this fabulous little bar.

Great end to the night!
We were lucky enough to have Kieran as our barman for the evening! His drinks knowledge is exceptional and made us well known drink recipes as well as making a delicious flaming drink that he made up himself on the spot! He was very entertaining and was a pleasure to have him for the duration on the experience.

Slightly disappointed
We really liked the concept, intimate setting and flexibility in terms of drink choices. Our bartender was welcoming, friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Unfortunately we were a little underwhelmed by the cocktails, particularly when when we were served two old fashioned's after saying we didn't like this particular cocktail. Given the price we were probably expecting something a little more exciting and bespoke which was a real shame. Not sure I'd recommend unfortunately.
