Milroy's of Soho in City of London, Westminster

One of the whisky places in London - they know their stuff.

Nothing beats a quick stop off at Milroy's, if you're into your whisky you'll be like a kid in a sweet shop. Excellent selection of single malts available to drink in . Attentive service from knowledgeable staff. Definitely the type of place you could lose a few hours in. They always have some interesting independent bottlings and on occasion a limited selection of exclusive barrel picks from American distilleries . Prices are reasonable and there's always something new to try. Highly recommended of you find yourself in Soho

Cool concept, really wanted to like the place and probably would have if it weren’t for the appalling service. Woman behind the counter was extremely rude the entire time we were there, literally shouted at me to move as I was halfway through ordering with the other bartender (though for some reason never shouts at anyone else standing in that exact spot). Horrendous experience.

Great service and excellent knowledge.

Specialist whisky/whiskey shop; friendly and knowledgeable staff, and amazing stock of interesting whiskies, including many very rare ones. Just re-opened after a refurb. Not cheap, but definitely recommended

Enjoyed the private tasting a lot. Very knowledgeable guys. Would do again.

I had quite an amazing experience learning about different whiskeys and getting personalized recommendations from the bartender.

Lovely venue. Staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Always great company and excellent drinks.

Great selection of whiskies and helpful and friendly staff behind the bar. If you like whiskey and visit London go to Milroy's

A very relaxed whiskey bar with a selection unparalleled in London, as well as very friendly staff, eager to share their knowledge and find the whiskey you will like the most. A whole temple!

Whiskey: 5 stars Knowledge: 5 stars Connor's gearstick: 6 stars Will be back xx

Fantastic place and glad to see it back open, new look is great.

Booked 2 months in advance, they sent us regular reminders in the run up to our booking and they're closed!

A great place to try a dram of whisky - they have a great selection of whisky to choose from. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend doing one of their tasting sessions. Thank you!

What a great little find. I have recently discovered a taste for whisky. So I took a couple of mates here at the weekend. Where to begin. It's a little small, but we were lucky to find 3 seats at the bar. The variety of whisky is amazing and the staff (Oliver) fantastic. He took us through a whisky discovery, starting at the £20 dram down to £11. The bill for us was not as much as I expected it would be at a £100 (7 whiskies 3 beers). I tried to buy 3 different bottles of whisky to take home but alas they were not available in the shop, but should be online. The secret bookcase to the toilet is a winner, it also leads to the vault which is an underground drinking experience, sadly we did not book for that and it did not open until 6pm. All in all a great trip and I will go back. Cant rate the food, as I do not believe they had any. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic bar with nothing but whiskey in mind. Amazing whiskey selection to work yourself through. Knowledgeable staff happy to discuss and recommend profiles, noses, finishes, casks... So if you are into your single malts or just want to learn, it is a very welcoming space. Plus that famouse hidden bookcase....

One of my favourite whiskey bars in London. Amazing advice and atmosphere with such cool staff! Tastings are fantastic with staff who know their stuff and are so passionate about whisky so no two tastings would ever be the same!

We tried different whiskey combinations and they were all great. Prices aren’t cheap but I guess it is expected as this is whiskey pub. Basement floor requires reservations and couldn’t sit without reservation.

Mind blowing selection of whisky, great atmosphere and really good service

Fantastic collection of whiskies and great recommendations by the very knowledgeable people at the bar.

Fantastically knowledgeable and friendly staff who helped me find an extremely tasty bottle of scotch!

The bar maid was amazing. Gave so many recommendations based on your taste. Upfront about the prices as well. It's a must go to. Its always busy so maybe book.

A classic beer pub style bar but focusing on Whiskey. Sat by the bar and was very cosy with fantastic engagement with the bartenders. Definitely one of the go to places for whiskey if at the SOHO area

Great little bar, have been here a few times now, the vault bar downstairs is so great for dates. On going there this weekend, we went downstairs, no booking, it was busy but not crazy, we asked the guy hosting if there was space, without even turning around, or even attempting to have a look, said no, and that you were full. There was space by the bar, one stool and standing room, we said we were happy to stand…no sorry was the response. Honestly I’ve been there before when it’s been busier, and have always been squeezed in, or at least had the attempt of trying to fit us in. Share a table etc. he was just rude and really uninterested. No ‘I have a table that’s just about to pay, if you wait for a bit…’ etc etc what happened to customer service. The young guy on the bar upstairs was amazing, really knew his stuff with our different tastes in whiskey, amazing bar staff. Also that little alcove by the book door to downstairs, you could make that a bit more vibey in there by adding a speaker, that way if you don’t get in downstairs and you get a seat in there, there’s still music and an atmosphere - not just silence.

Nice hidden gem, great service and a fantastic variety of whiskeys

It is a great place to experience all types of whisky. The gentleman was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He explained every single drink with a brief history from beginning to end. The basement bar was closed but we heard that it is worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic service ordered online and delivered in 48 hours

if the closing time is midnight you don't chase away people who come in at 11pm by making gestures to tell them to go away. the girl at the counter was extremely rude and arrogant.

Great place, only downside is there's not much space.

Always amazing. They know their whisk(E)y

Mooi oude bar, de dames (of heren) achter de bar hebben veel verstand van de vele soorten. Heerlijk een paar drams op, voor ons een vast item als we naar London gaan.

It is a unique a place with a nice selection of whisky. Just be mindful it isn’t low price and they do add service charge to the bill which we found unusual for pouring whisky.

Great place : staff are incredibly knowledgeable and there's a really good atmosphere. They're also very upfront about the price of things and don't try and force expensive drinks on you. Vault bar behind the bookcase is great too.

Probably the best whisky bar in London. Staff are super knowledgeable and friendly great place.

Great local bar with excellent staff who are super knowledgeable about whisky. I love the casual yet genuine approach to trying new whiskies - no complicated 'tasting experience' like more old-fashioned whisky bars, but the staff will happily chat with you at the bar and recommend some new bottles to try in an unpretentious way. They've always given me 100% on point recommendations and I always find my new favourites from them. Don't miss the 'bookshelf' in the back leading to the hidden cocktail bar downstairs!

Lovely little find, we were down I'm the vault. Great selection of specialist cocktails, don't taste like you are drinking alcohol but certainly pack a punch. Service was good and you are supplied with plenty of water. We wanted to stay for longer but just couldn't because it was so hot, we were melting. If you have a reservation be sure to push to the front of the queue as they also operate a queue system for unreserved people but there is limited space for them to have two queues or explain this.

Service and food was impeccable. Absolutely fantastic selection of whisky

Very cool hidden bar behind the bookshelf, I took my boyfriend as a surprise and he loved the whole concept. Drinks were very nice as was our the waitress. Perfect spot for a date or to celebrate a special occasion, we will definitely be back soon!

Never had a better service experience at a bar. Staff guided our drink orders and our bottle choices to go. If you're in London and want a special bottle to take home with you this is the pace.

Some good service, some bad service, downstairs bar closed until 6pm, there are better places to go

Rosie was absolutely fantastic, excellent recommendations, great energy and would come back just for another tasting that she put on.

Great atmosphere and the service is top rate.

It's solely dedicated to whisky. We need more places like this! Just wish they had more options for Islay whiskeys bottled at cask strength & single cask. Prices are quite high and they don't do half pours which surprised me. Still, this should definitely be on your list of London bars if you love whisky!

Our visit to Milroy of Soho was pure serendipitous. Heading for Covent Garden for lunch, the captivating window display drew us in, and what followed was a whisky lover’s dream. Warmly welcomed by Joel, an affable expert in the realm of whisky, we were immediately struck by his depth of knowledge and genuine hospitality. Joel's passion for whisky was infectious, evident in the diverse topics our conversation spanned. From the historical underpinnings of whisky to the intriguing restrictions on what constitutes "whisky" across different nations, and even a captivating glimpse into the world of Nordic and Asian whisky makers, Joel's insights were as enlightening as they were engaging. We also got a peek at their impressive Blanton's Bourbon collection. After a few samplings based on Joel's recommendations, my husband got himself two rare finds that are seldom encountered in our home country. If you're a whisky enthusiast, Milroy of Soho is a destination not to be missed. Mark it as a favorite in your Google map, you won't be disappointed.

fantastic selection of whiskeys

Espectacular sitio si te gusta el whiskey!!!!! No había visto tanta botella junta en la vida y de una calidad increíble!!!! Eso sí los precios un poco altos…pero merecen la pena por el ambiente, el servicio y la calidad de sus licores….si quieres cocktail puedes bajar al local secreto que tienen detrás de la estantería…vale la pena ir solo por verlo!!!!.

Excelente bar de whisky, uma variedade incrível, visita obrigatória para quem curte scotch whiskies.

This place is really unique. The staff and bartenders are really friendly and hospitable. They made great recommendations based on your drink taste. I liked the secret underground section through the bookshelf, super cool!

Not been the place physically but bought some not-too-expensive but uncommon whiskies from their website. Very competitively priced, and order was fulfilled within a week to a Scottish address where things used to take at least a day or two longer to get to.

This is everything you need in a whiskey bar. The staff is very engaging and friendly and their selection would require many visits before I would be able to conquer them all. The bar is a little small, but I think that adds to the character as it creates a more engaging experience and a feeling of a community and interaction. I will be back every time I am in London. Cheers.

Sehr coole Whiskybar, Pflichtbesuch wenn man in London ist🥃😋

Great staff with fantastic selection and knowledge of whisky

Great whiskey tasting hosted by Joel. Would recommend.

Malika (sp?) was SO amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. We talked about my preferences and she guided me to a number to sniff before ordering. She let me keep the bottles as I sipped three different ones, which was very helpful. Needed up buying a bottle of my fav. I recommend you try the ships own brand -great value. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend or it’s eye candy appeal, knowledgeable staff and great location and prices.

결론: 위스키를 좋아하면 가볍게 방문 다양한 레어 위스키를 잔술로 팔고, 바틀 소매도 하는 매장 분위기는 가벼운 펍이다. 지하에 스피크이지 칵테일 바도 있다.

These girls are the loveliest people in the entire of London <3

Always a great night at Milroy’s. No judgement and consistently good recommendations, even if whisky is not your thing. Other options available too.

The Best Whiskey Bar. Very Professional. Amazing Place to Test Whiskey.

Great bar. Cocktail small and not very exciting but loved it there anyway !

A great place to go back to see good friends and to tastes nice whiskeys. Wanted to update. Things has changed. Miss a lot of my old friends here...Still good to taste awesome whiskey. When I order from the state, Always pleasure coming

Nice selection of interesting whisky, knowledgeable staff and lovely ambiance. My only recommendation is that they give you a pipette to be able to add water more accurately.

No food, but amazing whisky for any price and taste. Best way to finish a day out or relax after a long week.

Absolutely superb service. My order arrived sooner than expected. Reaching out for assistance was answered with ease. I will definitely be back to order my items. Great products matched with competitive prices. What’s not to love ?

The secret bar downstairs is great. Been a couple of times and always delicious cocktails. Would be great to take someone visiting London!

Nice place with big unique whisky selection. Lots of IBs. Great stuff. Too crowded with not enough room though. Not a bar to hang out in for a long time. More like in and out. Thanks for having us!

소호에 있는 소규모 위스키샵 중에서 가장 좋았어요. 규모상 종류가 아주 많지는 않지만 구매할만한 위스키들도 많고, 구매 전에 가능하다면 시음도 할 수 있기 때문에 구매에 참고하기 좋습니다. 무엇보다 직원 분이 무척 친절하시고 전문적이었어요. 구매를 고민하던 위스키는 시음이 불가능했는데, 같은 증류소의 다른 위스키를 시음해서 참고할 수 있도록 도움을 주셨어요! 덕분에 좋은 경험을 하게 되어서 다음에 또 방문하고 싶고 추천하고 싶은 위스키 가게입니다 :)

Son did me proud with this one, what a gem of a find. Waitresses are incredibly knowledgeable and will enquire as to preferred style of whiskey AND ask for your budget so as to ensure you don't break the bank. The whisky recommended to me was an absolute beaut of dram, couldn't be more pleased to have stumbled upon it and will be taking a bottle home with me. Great experience, great atmosphere, top spot.

Nice place and excellent service. The variety of whiskey brands is amazing!

Fantastische ervaring gehad bij Milroy’s. We konden helaas niet voor de hele tasting blijven, maar als we volgende keer in Londen zijn komen we zeker weer langs!

My friend and I took two visits. Superb range of whiskies. Would visit again.

Very small seating area, I couldn't view the whisky without having to move around people to see what's on the bar

Excellent whisky (and whiskey). Good knowledge. Great selection. I had Wilson 10 Ila and it was SMOKEY!

Great small bar selling more whisky than you can dream of

Such a fun whiskey bar and the bartenders are SO knowledgeable

5* service from Danielle - (office manager) She has been absolutely fantastic!!! I had issues with delivery of 2 limited edition whisky bottles & then a damaged box but Danielle sorted this out immediately. Great company and very impressed. Danielle is a credit to Milroy's - highly recommend

Overall Milroy's, offers a splendid experience with excellent service and reasonable pricing. However, I have been consistently disappointed by my inability to secure a reservation for a table downstairs, regardless of how far in advance I attempt to do so.

A real gem. Great whiskey selection and great atmosphere.

Amazing experience, the sight of over 300 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

Nice bar - definitely a bit on the pricier side. Recommend going behind the bookshelf!

Muy interesante la puerta secreta

Went to the Vault the speakeasy, a great vibe and nice cocktails served by a really friendly aussie and a not so friendly dubliner (that is very rare)

Absolutely love going to Milroy's. You can try so many new kinds of whisky (or whiskey) especially those on limited editions. The service is always amazing. They really are passionate about their job and make a point to give you that personalised service. If only the place was a little bit bigger. It can be quite packed in the evening and you will be lucky to find a seat, especially if you are not a couple. But overall, I would happily recommend and go back!

Huge selection of whiskeys with friendly and knowledgeable staff to help you select the right one(s)!

Great whisky collection and the staff really indulge you with their recommendations based on your tastes. A great place to get your whisky knowledge and taste small batches.

Best whiskey joint in London. Staff know their stuff. Atmosphere is great. Enjoy.

The staff are both incredibly knowledgable and very, very approachable. Good combo!

The taste language of the mustache men is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and will help you with anything!

Lovely staff, lovely guests, infinite selection of whiskey

Great whiskey collection and very helpful staff…!

Nice pub, with a good service and a lot of nice whiskey to have a taste 👍

Incredibile selection of whiskeys, knowledgeable and helpful staff, happy to guide you through various bottles.

Great place to sit and chat about whiskey with very knowledgeable staff

Fantastic place if you are a Whiskey fan, with a huge range and knowledgeable staff... It's a danger to the credit card though.

Excellent selection, great staff.. Slightly short on mixers, but I guess that misses the point of this place! A classy joint.

I should point out that Google maps isn't great when two properties are one on top of the other so this review is both for Milroy's and The Vault . The experience of the Milroy's is one of exploration and discovery in whisky and the history and breadth of blends. The staff are wonderfully inclusive and happy to share thoughts on what you may try. The Vault is one of those secret spaces where once you realize the way in you immediately want to take your time . Enjoy some amazing cocktails hidden away in. A little space in Soho

Love this whisky bar! They offer the widest range of whiskies I’ve ever encountered and the staff are very well versed in whisky lore! No menus available. Instead, the bartenders can expertly recommend the perfect whisky based on your liking. The hidden downstairs bar located behind the bookcase adds to the mystique!

As a visitor this was one of the best whiskey bars in London. I found the selection to diverse from across the world offering a selection of whiskey that could only be found in such an incredible bar. The staff have an incredible knowledge of the selection and will offer drams that suited my palate for the night perfectly!

Great atmosphere and whisky selection

Unrivalled whiskey collection and Sammy brings the whole thing to life
