Extremely immersive! Sold as a real private detective agency, the bar offers excellent original cocktails. Subdued atmosphere and very dynamic and pleasant instrumental concert... Brilliant! A must do.

an interesting experience, the drinks are nice and waiters are attentive as well! however a live band performance charge of 20 pounds came out of the blue without any prior notice. we would've expected some heads up, or at least something along those lines.

This place is epic! The drinks are SO good! I was so surprised when I ordered the black box drink and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Really good! I love that the whole theme of the place is so well incorporated everywhere, including in the reception. The country band was definitely something else I'm coming back for!

The private detective bar is so fun 😍 Before entering, a detective will chat with you to confirm the details of your case. Basically, the content is absurd but the interaction is very funny. The scene is well arranged. There is a secret bar after entering. The atmosphere and wine list are also very detailed related to the detective case. The wine itself is mediocre, but the experience is great and worth visiting!

Visité con un amigo un viernes por la noche. La experiencia de entrada fue bastante única y no voy a estropearla aquí, pero mi amigo no tenía idea de lo que estaba sucediendo, lo que lo hizo bastante entretenido! Como no teníamos reserva nos sentamos inicialmente en el bar (separado de la sala principal y no muy cómodo) , pero al poco tiempo se abrió una mesa y nos movieron. La decoración es auténtica de 1920 y esto solo fue realzado por la banda en vivo que estaba tocando durante la primera mitad de nuestra visita. Gran vibra y una multitud interesante también. Tienen una gran variedad de cócteles y es bastante confuso revisar el menú en su entorno muy oscuro. Dicho esto, las bebidas que probamos eran bastante decentes. Su anticuado vale la pena intentarlo principalmente debido a la preparación de la mesa. En general, una experiencia muy agradable y no puedo creer que solo estoy de visita ahora después de haber vivido cerca todos estos años. Definitivamente esperamos traer más huéspedes desprevenidos en el futuro!

I visited with a friend on a Friday evening. The entry experience was rather unique and I won’t spoil it here, but my friend had no idea what was happening which made it quite entertaining! As we didn’t have a reservation we were initially seated at the bar (separate to the main room and not very comfortable), but after a short while a table opened up and we were moved over. The decor is authentic 1920’s and this was only enhanced by the live band that was playing during the first half of our visit. Great vibes and an interesting crowd as well. They have a huge range of cocktails on offer and it is quite confusing going through the menu in their very dark setting. That said the drinks we tried were pretty decent. Their old fashioned is worth a try mainly due to the table side preparation. Overall a very nice experience and I can’t believe I’m only visiting now after having lived nearby all these years. Definitely look forward to bringing around more unsuspecting guests in future!

From the moment we arrived, the fun began. It felt like we had stepped back into the 1920s, with the Prohibition theme adding a sense of mystery and excitement. The "secret" introduction before entering the bar was a brilliant touch—we were already laughing before we even got inside! Once in, we were greeted by a fantastic atmosphere. The live music was the perfect backdrop, setting the mood without being overpowering. We drank, and soaked up every bit of the vintage charm. The cocktails were on point, delicious and crafted with care, and the radiator beer was as good as you could expect! But what really made the evening stand out was the staff. Friendly, attentive, and always on hand to make sure everything went smoothly. They genuinely added to the experience and made the birthday celebration feel extra special. Overall, we had an amazing evening, and I can't recommend Evans & Peel enough.

This is an American style speak-easy hidden away on an unsuspecting street. I loved the novelty and decor. There is an extremely charismatic actor front of house who pretends to be a detective and jokingly interrogated us before letting us in - it's a good idea to think of a story before you go to spare yourself some embarrassment! The only downside is that it's a bit overpriced and truthfully I didn't really like the cocktails on offer but overall it's a cool experience and it's a bit of fun so I would recommend.

Evans & Peel Detective Agency is a hidden treasure that offers a unique and memorable experience. The journey to find it is part of the adventure—tucked away on a side street, the entrance is subtly placed between buildings. Once you ring the bell, you're welcomed by a staff member who adds a playful twist by asking what case you're there to solve. This little bit of role-playing sets the tone for the evening. Inside, the bar exudes a captivating atmosphere, with a cocktail menu that's both creative and expertly crafted, complemented by delicious food. To fully enjoy the experience, it's best to reserve a table in advance, as walk-ins may find their time limited. If you're looking for an extraordinary night out, Evans & Peel Detective Agency is definitely worth the effort to discover.

Fantastic themed cocktail bar! I came here about a year ago while on vacation with family and was treated to the best service and cocktails I've ever had. However, the real show of service was recently when I contacted the establishment and asked for the details of a drink I was served. Their response was quick, thoughtful, and exactly what I needed! If you do choose to come here, do know that the experience is greatly enhanced if you arrive with a "case." I was unaware of this when I came here, but the greeter did an amazing job at working around our lack of preparedness. This speakeasy is a must!

I got to admit we struggled a lot while walking through London. A good "coffee" was nowhere to be found. Luckily, there is Detective Mitch and the agency to help you with all of your needs. It is an amazing place, hidden behind a false door. Mitch was amazing first contact and let you feel the 1929 Prohibition vibe they are going for. If you are a cocktail newbie such as me I'd recommend asking the bar staff they are very helpful in regards to zeroing in towards something you'll like. Next time I'll be in London, I'll certainly be back.

I have been to this place 3 times before and have absolutely loved my experience but today it was not the same. For starters they no longer do the Polaroid photo with one of their drinks ( I still have the photo they took), they also no longer served the cool personalised placemats for the cocktails which is sad (I have a collection of the placemats cuz they are so cool). On top of that they did not advertise at all that there would charge £12 per person for the live music (great live music just was not prepared for the expensive charge). I bought two drinks (£14 each) and my total cost was £38 and half of their menu was out. You are getting less for higher cost and I hope you guys can make some changes cuz I can’t see myself coming again.

Evans & Peel was a wonderful experience for us in London. I made the surprise to my husband who had no idea where we were going. When he saw the door, he was really surprised. When I made the reservation, I gave some informations describing the things that my husband likes very much and describes him a little bit and that was a great idea, because the surprise was very big. We have been very good welcomed and my husband has been very surprised because he has been welcomed with a lots of words very well choosed to make the surprise very big. I will not give details, it's better if you live this experience on your own. We had also nice surprises with the cocktails. We don't drink alcohol and they made us wonderful non alcoholic cocktails and the mini pizzas that we eated with olives and salted nuts were excellent. We have to be honest, it's expensive, but it's a wonderful experience, you absolutely must have. Thanks to all the team. This was a great experience and we had the pleasure of meeting some very nice people. The role of detective doesn't seem to be just a role, but a real passion, with everything you need. The perfect accent, the perfect attitude and the perfect look. A very nice meeting. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful experience. Greetings from Switzerland.

What a fantastic place. It is a little difficult to find, but that added to the experience. If you follow Google maps, it leads you to a street end in between b buildings. No problem, the door is on the side of the building (we went by it twice). We rang the bell and were admitted by one of the staff that asked about what case we were investigating. Super fun role playing for a minute. After you are "vetted", he shows you to the bar. We were only going to have 1 drink but was having so much fun with the staff, we stayed for 2. We talked about prohibition and whisky and bourbon. We live in Tennessee, so this was right up our alley. It was fantastic to talk to staff that really know bourbon and whisky. If you have always wanted to try Pappy, they have it at the best prices I have ever seen.

Not much atmosphere Cocktails average in content and price but the menu was clever. £4 for a very small bowl or either chilli crackers or salted corn was poor value as was £7 for a CAN of beer like you would get 4 for £5 in a supermarket.

Hospitality at the World Snooker Championships is excellent. Champagne on arrival, a four course meal with accompanying drinks and great service from Sara was a special start to our visit. The venue, so often seen on TV was smaller than expected but provides an intimate setting for the professional players to do battle. It is a perfect setting and would lose this intimacy should it move to a larger venue.

Adding up the cost of cocktails, the music charge per person and the service charge you will be left with a hefty pricetag at the end! I understad you pay for the whole concept, hence Is a bar you wouldn't go often.

Quite underwhelming. As we arrived to the Detective Office that is the front for the speakeasy a host greated us, who was clearly doing a bit, but we weren't sure what our role was supposed to be in this scenario. Then we were led through to the bar itself, which was a half-heartedly themed, dark, damp basement. The Beer Radiator was broken and they were missing the "hardware" for one of the more interactive mystery cocktails. The drinks themselves were nice, but wildly overpriced.

Incredibly cool speakeasy with great drinks, great service and an overall great vibe. Loved getting a bit into character and taking in the ambiance of the place (in addition to the delicious drinks). Will be back!

Small bar. It was OK, nothing special. They seemed pretty up themselves baring in mind they don't offer anything special. Pretty pricey but it is London.

Un des speakeasy les plus immersifs de Londres ! Vendu comme une véritable agence de détectives privés, le bar propose des cocktails tous plus recherchés les uns que les autres. Tout ça dans une ambiance tamisée et intimiste. Et que dire des acteurs pour une immersion totale... génial !

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!

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.

Estoy tan contento de no haber leído las críticas de Tripadvisor antes de mi viaje a Londres, ya que me habría pensado dos veces antes de visitar The Grill. Me alegro de haber visitado! Le daría cuatro y medio si pudiera. La mitad se perdió debido al costo de las bebidas. Hay precios en Londres, está la novedad de cenar en un lugar como Harrod’s, pero las bebidas en The Grill fueron solo robos a plena luz del día! Pero fue un placer encantador. La bienvenida del personal y el servicio era eficiente y amable, y era una zona de estar agradable. Éramos tres cenando. Todos nuestros filetes fueron cocinados a la perfección y eran muy sabrosos incluso para filetes. ¡Eran de un tamaño generoso también! Añada las guarniciones e hizo una gran comida. No visitamos Londres muy a menudo, pero sin duda volveremos a The Grill en nuestra próxima visita.
