Great speakeasy! It was really fun getting in and the staff was so friendly!

I have been wanting to come here for years, and we finally got back to London and visited this speakeasy.Right from the start, the mood was set, as the person welcoming us clearly did a bit of research concerning our "case" that we sent in advance. After a bit of fun role-playing (not mandatory, but fun!) , a secret door was opened and we were in the bar itself.It's a cozy, dimly lit basement, where the appropriately- dressed staff brought us to our table. The menu is an eye catcher as well, with almost all cocktails named after famous (fictional) criminals like Thomas Shelby, Salazar, and of course Al Capone. The menu is yours, a note book to keep as souvenir. Nice touch.This speakeasy is supposed to be the home of the best Old Fashioned in the world, so that's the first thing we ordered, and it did not disappoint. It's brought to the table with a bit of show, and although I found it a bit weird that the zest was done at the start instead of at the end, it was a great Old Fashioned.Unfortunately, the other cocktails didn't get to that level. Don't get me wrong, they were nice, but not wow. I was also a bit disappointed when I requested a surprise cocktail with rum, and I got what was clearly... a rum Old Fashioned. Not very inspired.While the cocktails weren't world class, they were decent. I did feel a bit for the excellent two- man band, who had to play for a crowd of really loud people. And trust me, they were good enough to listen to.I do also have to mention the staff. Absolutely what I wish every bar had! Super friendly, they saw immediately when the water was gone and brought us a new bottle, nothing was too much to ask. Just wow. And when we left, the detective at the door gave us a happy ending to our submitted case!I still have many cocktail bars to discover in London, but when I'm near Earl's Court again, I'm coming back.

I first visited Evans & Peele around 2013/2014 and I’m so glad it’s still going. As always the entire experience was fun and engaging and the drinks were divine.

I did not want to leave but we had a show to watch at the Westend. Due to a mix up with trains/delays I arrived 15 mins late and my hubby even later. However the comical and cool welcome we each received in the agency reception was great. I told the host to give my hubby hell ! ;)This “lowdown dive” is an institution, but it’s not tired at all. Great service , perfect speakeasy feel, authentic and I can’t reveal any clue about the entrance as it’s all part of the fun. Just be in character!Excellent range of cocktails and classics . Their signature Old Fashioned is worth all the show. Great for a small group or a fun couple pre or post theatre . Just book well ahead.Stevie is an excellent skilled and suave mixologist and get the groove going even when it got busier. This is not a one-time novelty place, def a bar to hang albeit with unique character. Will be back , and on time sir!Parking: Can try but best to just bus or train , all close by.Kid-friendliness: Leave the kids at home. Detective work is for adults only .

Well what an absolute find. I mean once you do find it! Just ring the doorbell and enter down the stairs. Just make sure you haven't been followed. After the necessary interrogation you will be let in and immediately hit with the lush speakeasy vibes. Cocktails and service fantastic and there was live music. There is a surcharge on the bill to pay for the music but its part of the deal and well worth it. The most noticeable thing was just how much fun everyone was having. Get it on your list.

Great service the staff were really attentive and in character. Cocktails delicious. We didn’t try food. Decor great and so was entertainment. Felt so 1920’s. A really good vibe and great night out.

Extremely disappointed! I've been a regular for years and the service, food and overall experience have never been worst. Sad to see this place going downhill...The cheese board was some Tesco papadoms and a few slices of cheap cheese

Absolutely the best “drinking” experience I’ve ever had. The drink are bomb, and the experience is truly original. London’s best bar for sure!

The.best.speakeasy anywhere!. Make sure you arrive with a case to investigate. Phenomenal immersive environment, fabulous creative cocktails. . The first place we’ll visit the next time we are in London. I can’t recommend it highly enough!Parking: Just street parking.
Was really good and a very nice atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and also really appreciated how they looked out for us and the safety of us as girls, never seen that before at nearly any place I've been before. Would recommend.
