Ahi Poke Spitalfields in Tower Hamlets

I'm not one to express my feelings about any kind of service but the Manager in this Place "Adrien" displayed one of the least friendly aura and poor customer service I've experienced in a while. I'm a local business to you guys and have told my associates to avoid going when he's working. Rest of the team are Stellar!

Permanently closed. Owners did not bother to update google maps. Downer.

The vegan poke bowl was a big disappointment. I thought it would have a lot of salad ingredients but it had only quinoa, chick peas, carrots and tofu. I could have made something better at home for a fraction of the price. However, at least the service was very good and the people were polite.

“I give it 1,000 out of 1,000. The food was great. I really loved it. It was so good. It was the best food i ever had. Poke.” 5 year old

Friendly staff great location tasty fresh food. Highly recommend as you can choose exactly what you want and watch it made in front of you

Amazing experience, the sight of dozensof whiskies behind the bar is enough to get anyone excited. The staff are very friendly and provided that it isn't too busy, they're more than happy to educate you if you are new to whiskey or want to expand your knowledge

Delicious food and love how you can fully customise your bowl. Unfortunately they ran out of a few ‘main’ items after my bowl had started being made as they are having a new menu but it was nice nonetheless. The staff member was friendly too. Would recommend!

Such a delicious poke bowl. I built my own being able to customise it with all of my favourite things. Every staff member was very helpful and friendly. Thank you to Isabelle for helping me sign up to the loyalty program, I will be back.

I couldn’t agree less with one of the previous reviews! The staff were lovely that helped us today. Super friendly. We ordered two small poke bowls and was plenty for lunch and a smoothie to share. They made two smoothies by mistake and gave us both. They didn’t have to do this and I thought it was a lovely gesture and promised myself I’d give them a review not just because we got a free smoothie but because they were all lovely and we both thoroughly enjoyed our food! 10/10 👍

Terrible service, rude staff, completely empty on a Friday night - no wonder.

Nice whiskey bar off the back of Spitalfields Market. Really good beer and fairly priced drams. Rich and Kevin are great hosts, and even better people.

A fairly small, claustrophobic bar. At least when I was there they didn't provide any price list and I got stung with a £16 dram You'd be much better off staying at home drinking your own whisky without a 900% markup Also, if you do a truly blind tasting with friends of similar types of whisky (e.g. Islay single malts) you'd be amazed at how difficult it is to tell the difference between them - so much of whisky is in the mind.

expensive drinks and Fragile egos I was in there last night with a friend to have a few drinks. We racked up a bill of 100 pounds within 2 drinks each. That is fine it is a luxury whiskey bar we expected that. What we did not expect is that when we tried to buy a cigar for the road we were informed by the bar staff that we "Broke a house rule". When asked what rule we broke they did not have an answer. Truly perplexed at what we could have done and why we were told after the fact.. I feel sorry for the bar staff that was left to explain to us without an answer. The supervisor of the night(July 7th) hid in the back room and let a 20 year old take the heat. Truly sub par management. The whiskey was nice though.

Poke absolutely amazing, I eat/order from the chain 2/3 times a week, when I’m on holiday even every evening. But for once I’ve decided to go to the one in Spitalfields cause I’m near by… biggest mistake of my life. Just saying, you as a store lost a customer for the next month, and I always get the stuff with extra change. I always get the same stuff, so I’m pretty quick with my order, but I’m also really allergic to some things, so I always double check and let them know. This time I’ve got the super NOT nice horrible Aga to serve me, and she put another rice in my box, without letting me know if it got butter or not, and decided to be rude AF! Horrible horrible experience, food amazing tho. Now, thank god the website, I’ve to Check if I can eat my 20£ meal or just throw it in the bin cause that woman didn’t confirm if I can eat it or not with my allergies.

An absolute dream house if you are into whisky. The guys have fantastic knowledge and an outstanding selection. They can really guide you through making the right choice based on you sharing as much info as possible on what you like. We like it smokey so had a Caol Ila wood finished Connoisseurs Choice and Laphroaig 16yr. Expect to pay for quality.

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!!

Their incredible whiskey selection is only matched by their deep knowledge and expertise. From a vague description of my tastes they were able to select 2 great drams which I thoroughly enjoyed. Will be back!

Staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the time spent here.

Great service 👏 Overpriced 18yr old Yamazaki🥃

Fantastic whisky bar with a huge selection of interesting whiskies from around the world. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, with a great atmosphere. Has a few tables outside, a private member's whiksy bar upstairs and a cocktail bar downstairs.

Really really nice place to spend a couple of hours with friends in the company of fine spirits. 😊

Great whiskey bar which is a must if you like your whiskey. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful in proving suggestion. If you find something you like there is also a small shop.

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.

Really vast selection of whisky!!

Cute cocktail bar with some vaulted spaces which makes it quite easy to have a conversation as opposed to normal bars where you find yourself shouting. Bar staff really friendly too and helpful. Will definitely come again.

One of our favourite date night spots.

Amazing service. Spoke to us about their whiskey selection and found us the perfect drams

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.

Great selection and the staff are amazingly helpful!

Great vibe and friendly staff. Really nice cocktail menu.

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 🤙🏾

Fantastic whiskey bar near brick lane. Plenty of choices and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent place for a night cap!

Primarily a whiskey bar. Good selection and nice vibes

Unreal whisky selection Coupled with knowledge

This an excellent place to sip and share some dram of very good whiskies, or if you want learn a little, the team is very knowledgeable and keen to help you.

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.

I love this place! The staff are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (and frankly they're cool AF!) I highly recommend their whiskey tasting sessions. You can learn about the history of certain whiskeys and try drams you wouldn’t necessarily have tried otherwise.

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.

Most knowledgeable whisky staff in London. Amazing selection and friendly staff. My go to spot when in Shoreditch.

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!

L'unico posto per whisky a Londra. Da non perdere.

Had an excellent whisky tasting here last Friday in the members' room on the top floor which was excellent. Great choice of whiskies, great venue, great value, with really attentive and knowledgeable staff.

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.

Really lovely place. The staff are very knowledgeable about all things whiskey. A must for any whiskey connoisseur but very interesting even if you're not. Definitely worth a visit.

A very shady place. For drinks and cocktails they send you to a place downstairs which is aloof and looks creepy . Not a place to visit

Milroys is a hidden gem in Spitalfields. It is a whisky bar with 800 different whiskies. The bar tender had a fantastic knowledge of their collection. Just tell him the flavour you like and your budget and he will bring the best choice! Loved the experience.

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.

Poor vermouth selection, but a great boozer none the less

Great selection of drinks and very knowledgeable staff

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

Really good experience did a tasting session and it was really well pitchedd an thoroughly enjoyed by all. The person running it was especially knowledgeable.

Amazing place for whiskey- great staff! Great range! Just an amazing time! Can recommend to any whiskey lover to make the trip to Shoreditch!

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!

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

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!

Amazing whisky and really friendly/helpful staff.

Extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable team. It's only slightly pretentious, which is bearable in Shoreditch.

We had organised a rum tasting organised for a friend's birthday. It was fantastic experience with a great range to try.

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!

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!

Knowledgeable staff, incredible whisky selection.

Great tasting session with Edoardo

Curious. Not sure I understand the layout at all yet. Smaller than I imagined.

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!

A fabulous whisky bar with their own line of supurb Scotch.

Such an amazing relaxed whisky atmosphere... and the staff really know their whiskies

Poke is served COLD. I don't understand why people are so confused by this! Poke House serve fresh giant size portions that are great tasting and I love that I can watch my bowl being made! Highly recommend, plus a beautiful looking store.

Great cocktails, great service, will certainly come again.

Amazing service and whisky. Top-notch knowledge of craft.

It's a good bar but it is always staffed by pretentious little nerds

Lovely poke bowls, I tend to go for the one called Heatwave which has sushi salmon in it. You can also customize your bowls by choosing a different base ie rice, quinoa, kale. Its more of a casual place so better for takeaways rather than eating in. Would definitely recommend.

Really poor lunch. The rice was overcooked and really cold. The toppings were meagre and looked like they were from a Harvester salad bar - dried vegetable scraps that had been sitting there all day. Don't waste your money.

Very wide selection and knowledgeable staff!

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. ❤️

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.

Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable Mixologists! We had a really fun night decamping at the bar drinking cocktails!

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Quickly becoming one of my favourite drinking spots. Always something new to try. Looking forward to next time

Great bar, and very knowledgeable staff. Their selection is unbelievable and great quality.

Great whiskey, even better staff

Awesome place. Edoardo is a don.

Words cannot describe the exceptional service fraser gave us tonight. From the moment we arrived, his fantastic knowledge of whisky combined with his friendly and whitty manner gave us an evening of a lifetime! We will be back!

Popped in for a quick drink, ended up staying for hours! The whiskey selection is good, the bar staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to try something new!

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.

Just popped in for a quick drink, and my god I will be coming back. Landlord knows has such a great understanding of the 100+ whiskeys he has in stock!

Wonderful selection of whiskey, brilliant staff

great range of spirits and knowledgeable staff. private event tasting rooms upstairs

Amazingly helpful staff and a huge selection.

Bit pokey, but a really nice whiskey bar. The selection was unreal and it had a lovely vibe to it. I think Milroy's in Soho reflects and feels it's age, whereas this is a touch fresher and matches the surrounding well. Service was top notch. In theory they could've just served me anything, I've got no idea what's going on, but for someone more well informed on whiskey I'm sure they'd really benefit from the detailed knowledge and guidance. One to return to.

Awesome selection of whiskies, great events and really nice staff :)

Beautiful whiskies in a cosy convivial atmosphere

Great experience with the staff helping you choose the wonderful whisky's. Not to forget the tasty croquettes: a great compliment to the whisky's.

Great whiskey bar. The staff will take your vague thoughts on whiskey and give you a drink you can really enjoy. 1000+ whiskey bottles. Don't miss the cocktail bar in the basement!

A small but delicious poke brand located in Old Spitalfields Market. You can choose between their signature bowls or build your own. Love the flavouring chipotle chicken combining with sesame sauce and the rice base. There is also a wide variety of fresh vegetables - my favourite one is cucumber kimchi. I do not remember the exact price but it's about £7 for regular size ^^

Lovely atmosphere with excellent drinks, the olives are gorgeous as well

Great poke, very kind staff - the large portion is very filling, perfect for lunch. And of course, lovely location. WilWillwillbackbaback back

A masterpiece in Spitalfields. Seems to have all the charm of the original Soho location but a much larger selection of whisky. Really nice cocktail bar down below and an excellent tasting room to boot!

A splendid whiskey focussed bar in the heart of Spitalfields and a very welcome addition to the neighbourhood! You'll be greeted by a warm welcome and unfathomable options at this classy, yet accessible establishment. The staff are engaging and highly knowledgeable, the space is comfortable and functional and the choice is staggering. With a cocktail bar downstairs and a members bar upstairs there are many ways to enjoy your dram. Highly recommend!

Great new bar in the City. Delicious cocktails, knowledgable and helpful staff and very tasty bar snacks.

Great staff, very knowledgeable of the 1000 whiskies they have behind the bar and in the cages that surround the back. Plenty of seating and standing space. Great addition to the name Milroys. The Proofing room is a cocktail bar in the basement and a testament to The Vault in Soho.

A Whisky Bar/Cocktail Bar/Club/Members area/Tasting Room that London has been crying out for - FANtastic !
