Spiritland King's Cross in Camden

Great vinyl bar in really cool area of Kings Cross. The sound system is top flight and DJ spinning some incredible 70s funk and Latin Caribbean beats. DJ came over several times to show me the albums and chat. Great find if you are true audiophile

We went there for lunch specially to enjoy the audiophile standard music and atmosphere. The greeting was 'off', felt like we were a burden to the idle staff. The table service was cold, unengaging / unfriendly. We felt we were not good enough for their fancy establishment, a snotty attitude. the food was poor to say the least and overpriced. Music venues and the like are 'happy places' not this one. Impressive gear wasted, shame really. will not go back

I am honestly gutted about my experience here this morning. As we ordered, I explained I have a severe milk allergy and therefore was ordering oat milk for my coffee and no butter for my bacon sandwich. When my coffee came, the milk was separate and as I poured it I realised it was regular milk, this was confirmed by the staff members. Luckily I hadn’t drank it yet. Then when my bacon sandwich came over, I was given my friends order which was the sandwich with butter! Again luckily I was the one to realise through appearance and smell but I also realised there was butter in my plate. Not once did the team apologise for this and they didn’t seem to care that both of these things could have ended with me in a life threatening state. Very disappointed and honestly scared me how poor it was. Be cafe uo if you have allergies!

This venue is great for drinks, light meals and music. Ricardo was totally charming and went out of his way to look after me and my son.

Very much enjoyed visiting Spiritland. We went for Brunch on a Sunday. We had the poached eggs on sourdough with sides of chorizo, plus a Bloody Mary and a pot of tea. The food was excellent, in particular the chorizo was excellent. Thick, juicy and jam packed with flavour. The drinks were excellent. It was a bit pricy but that’s London…! The venue is comfortable, laid back and chilled. However, the star of the show was the audio. Absolutely stunning, and it was a huge treat to hear music played through such quality equipment. I believe the equipment is from Living Voice in Nottingham and the quality is simply phenomenal. I’ll definitely be back to hopefully hear a DJ set or an album session. Brilliant visit. Thanks to Spiritland!

I cannot recall a time where I been made to feel so awkward and unwelcome. Dropped in for a quick drink after a day in the office. The member of staff who ‘greeted’ me clearly didn’t see me as fitting clientele and made this known. Threw a menu in front of me with a grunt, brought a drink 10mins later without a word. Arrogant, rude and disinterested. I work 200m away and will never visit again. Shame because it could be so much more.

Great, relaxed atmosphere. Really friendly and attentive staff. Good tunes and great acoustics. In an interesting if slightly touristy part of King's Cross

Heard great things about Spiritland for drinks, but the brunch was sadly really bad. Poached eggs were borderline hard (and you only get one with the poached eggs on toast). The Shakshuka was pretty much a tin of tomatoes with one solitary egg placed on the top. This place has a cool vibe and the waiters are all really friendly, but I really (really) would not recommend for brunch.

Have come here a few times, nice atmosphere,can be crowded and dark. However the food is very limited, overpriced and needs an overhaul. Nice service.

My friend and I had a really great time at Spiritland last night. The serving staff, especially Ishmael and Sam were lovely, really professional and friendly. I hope they get a good share of the tips because they really deserve to. The DJ (Tim Mags)/ music was great and the drinks were fantastic. Only thing that let's this place down is their weird selection of food. Such a shame as we were really hungry, but didn't fancy anything on the menu.

A great bar pending...I attended Spiritland in Coal Drop Yard Saturday evening just gone (03/09/22). The atmosphere was great with all staff very attentive. However, the visit was dampened with the staff having their dinner right next to us at the bar, despite being told the kitchen had closed, around 11pm. There was just food sat on the side in large silver Gastronorm Pans, waiting for staff to help themselves. Just before leaving I popped off to the bathroom, I was really shocked to see electrical wires just being left - these looked to be live wires that should have been covered up as a minimum, or removed. I hope to go back in the future but won't be attending any time soon due to these little things.

What a great relaxed venue - drinks great and food fantastic. Good to see it buzzing with people again. Outside seating great on this weather

We came here for breakfast and got so much more some really cool tunes and breakfast was delicious to boot. Service was outstanding very relaxed and friendly

Rude staff in establishments like this continue to pin the burgeoning Coal Drops Yard spirit by the neck. Spirit land? More like no spirit land. Curtain shut in our faces as soon as we opened the door. Why have service standards dropped so badly since the pandemic began?

There are not actually words that can describe the experience and the explosion of senses when you visit this beautiful bar restaurant. Everything is carefully designed and the sound system is one of a kind! I would recommend to visit this place on a normal day for the first time and take your time to enjoy the great sound,delicious dishes and the great selection of wines and beer. I could write pages about it but just go see and listen! Highly recommend!

Fabulous sound system and really nice decor and ambience. Nicely sized space to listen to the music, not too big and not too small. Each bathroom cubicle has stereo speakers and a volume control! Really good food, cocktails, and service by friendly servers at reasonable prices. A must go to whenever we’re in London - great way to spend an evening.

this cool bar /perhaps eatery is a great place to go, meet and talk with friends - not least because the fantastic sound system (reputed to be the most costly in europe) offers great music from a variety of visiting DJs but best of all you can actually talk without shouting as the analogue system is alongside rather than deafening the listener. great cocktails and classy wines (at the usual high Kings X price) and great light bites.

Had a great evening with a group of 10 friends celebrating a birthday (50th). I had scouted out most of the local options earlier in the week and Spiritland stood out straight away from the others with an immediate friendly welcome and discussion of options from knowledgeable staff. I reserved a high table and bar stools. On the evening we had a very friendly and efficient waitress who swiftly brought drinks and food throughout the night. The music was good loud enough but not too loud (Thursday night) and the place was busy but not too much - all coming together to make a great evening. Would highly recommend.

Nice relaxing cocktail bar close to station near the canal, very unique, great drinks and atmosphere, good vibe for social and I had enjoyed my snacks, my colleagues enjoyed their food very much.

Stopped off at Spiritland, like others the music drew us in. Really friendly waiters and great location, but was difficult to hear the waiters let alone anyone else to have a conversation with as the music from the DJ was just too loud. Funky place...

We spent a very enjoyable late afternoon and evening here with some friends and our 2 young children. Staff were so friendly and relaxed about our 4 year old polishing the tables with wet wipes and so kind to our 7 months old baby boy...

Had an event today in Spiritland. Very cool bar. Only grabbed a coffee as was using their recording studio but loved the place. Great music playing in the background. Nice menu and bar. I would imagine this place is packed in the evenings.

Happened to walk past this little gem of a place lsat weekend while out in King's Cross. Heard some amazing jazz being played and thought 'what is this place' and had to go in. I'm so glad we did! It's a funky little bar, seating...

Found this gem when wandering around King's Cross with my best tram trying to find the perfect spot for a drink. We were welcomed and given a lovley table. Not sure what to drink, I spoke to one of the barmen, I think his name...

The food was nice, nothing standout but perfectly nice. The vegan brownie was very nice though! The staff were cool, and the music and sound quality were great, we'd like to come back for cocktails and to listen to the full albums one time!

Visited here with a group of friends on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We sat outside the front which is great for people watching. They have their own specially crafted cocktails, which are very good and offer small food plates for sharing. The crispy potatoes and...

Amazing place to sample simple food well done, great drinks in a recording studio atmosphere, DJ, low lighting, great place for a great night out.

The ambiance is lively yet relaxed in this bar/restaurant. It's very casual and service is fairly slow, but it's a whole experience.The Tapas are delicious and very plentiful. A good selection of wine by the glass and the whole thing makes for a fun evening....

Very confused place. Wasn’t sure if it was a bar, a restaurant, a gig venue or a book shop. Had to ask multiple times to order and when we did the woman was clueless about the menu. Not bad if you sit outside.

On booking a table with my family and friends for my birthday, I found them easy to contact via their website, friendly and on point. Unfortunately the service within the venue, leaves a lot to be desired. The girl who took on our table, never...

Spent a very pleasurable 5 hours here on Saturday, listening to some great tunes whilst catching up with friends. Reasonable food and a good selection of drinks available, but it's the music we come for. Great sound, great vibe, great venue. This is my 5th...

I had birthday drinks here on Friday night and we had a great time in many ways. Staff (Pete, David and Leon) were so accommodating, friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was a mix of vibrant and mellow at the same time, good food, great fun...

awesome cool place great music and vibes, went there as we were walking back from dinner further up - great night

Had some lovely cocktails here with a friend recently. The place is stylish and relaxed. Great service from a knowledgeable waiter. Will return for sure.

We loved the small tapas style share plates here. Heaps of vegetarian choices and each was delicious. Fast service, cool location in the Coal Drop Yards.

Admittedly we were early and it is venue that livens up later, but nevertheless we were greeted with a cheerful smile and really enjoyed our casual breakfast with the best sourdough ever.. All round us were lots of regulars, totally absorbed in their laptops. Great...

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, interesting space - great sound system. Will definitely be back for more

We were overcharged massively, incompetent and rude staff, also very loud , impossible to speak if seated near the speakers. Food was small portions and expensive, they added dishes to the bill we hadn’t had, , overall an awful evening.

I've been here on a few occasions for pleasure and business. Its a great (cool) spot for professional meetings and to hang out with pals too. Delicious dinner options, wine and coffee.

Claudia was a super host. The food was super - piping hot, well presented and served fast. I will be back. As for the decoration ...... the interior designer has amazing taste !!

Four of us met here for brunch last sunday . Great place with a nice ambience , music vibe throughout , food and coffees great , service was also good great visit

While Dishoom, nextdoor, had an unfathomable queue on a Saturday night, Spiritland had one or two tables and I was glad it did. There was a DJ playing chill music, and this together with the dimly lit space provided for a good atmosphere, both for...

Visited to sample the hi fi system and it was amazing. Some great soul/funk/jazz being played at just the right levels. Quirky venue, nice food and coffee and very welcoming staff. Just a five minute stroll from Kings Cross and St. Pancras in a area...

It was a warm August day and we were exploring King’s Cross when we happened upon Spiritland. If you like real music experience this is a must to visit, with a live radio station and regular live disc jockeys and a cocktail bar to boot,...

The chicken sandwich I had here was nice, didn't like the roasted potatoes though. Took quite a while to get the bill and the music does get to you after a while.

What is this place? None of us could work out what it was trying to be, other than pretentious without cause. It has 60’s recording studio style decór which looks very strange against the modern bar and randomly serves tapas in amongst the jumble which...

Amazing night seeing Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey here. Venue is a gem for any vinyl fan. Only a stone's throw away from Kings X

I went there a few times with the group of friends I meet almost every Saturday afternoon. One person in the group really wanted to like this place, so she brought us there quite a few times. I can only comment on our repeated Saturday...

had a lovely visit on Saturday ! just called for a drink and was met with a glass of water ....it was a very hot day ! were able to charge phones. decided treat and shared som very good small plates. staff very friendly and...

Such a promising setup. Cool sound system, chilled music and the cutest cat. But expect to wait 10-15mins for a mouthful of crazy expensive cocktail.

Nice big place for a rest, for a break in the dynamic area Camden/Kings Cross. I loved the ambiance/atmosphere, the design and the modernism of this café restaurant and cocktail bar ! As a true lover of coffee . I love ristreto only - I...

Killing a bit of time waiting for a train and dropped in here to see what the deal was. Only had a beer and some salted almonds but both very good. Nice atmosphere and not as expensive as I feared. Thought I might be turning...

the food here is nice - really enjoyed the sausage rolls and patatas bravas and the service was good. the place is confused though- it's set up for eating and drinking but the music is SO LOUD that you can't have a conversation - it's...

If you're looking for somewhere for post-work drinks and a light bite, then Spiritland is a reasonable contender. Situated just a few minutes' walk from King's Cross and St Pancras stations, the bar makes a big selling point of its audiophile appeal. Sure enough, it...

Famous for the high end audio system and occasional studios, Spiritland really delivered on the lunch service. I had a cheese and ham toastie with mustard and my companion had a salt beef sandwich. Although simple food it was deliciously prepared. Highlight of the lunch...

music oriented - best version of Roberta flack I have ever heard - with djs. great for a light lunch or dinner. had the best ever avocado toast with poached egg and lamb meatballs. great mixture of tastes in simple ways. could eat here every...

Found this on the Kings X website. Excellent Tuesday night. Great music from the DJ - loud enough to enjoy and not too loud enough to get in the way. Good range of nibbles with the drink. We went about 6:30 and left at 9...

To the point... The idea that this venue is geared towards audiophiles is simply inaccurate. It’s allegedly based on the vinyl bars in in Tokyo but there is little resemblance to the ones we went to there where the music was forefront. Spiritland may have...

As if there weren't already numerous reasons to visit the Granary Square redevelopment area which continues to metamorphosise before your very eyes, Spiritland is yet another reason, featuring some lovely decor, great drinks, a good range of food options and, above all, a stonking musical...

Spiritland IS NOT what you think!!! Yes the place is nice, the music is good BUT the service is bad, the staff is very cold, they are NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL. The nice music is loud so you are tempted to dance but dancing is...

Other half and I were in town with time to spare between events on a cold wet day. Didn't want 'just a sandwich' nor a main meal (that was coming later). This just hit the spot on a cold day, time to linger, tasty food...

Some of the reviews on here are by people whose expectations were way off. You could say it is a bit pretentious but if you think that, then you are the wrong person for the venue not the other way round! Yes it has a...

I'd been recommended to go here in a kind of "oh, you like music, you have JBL speakers, this is right up your street" but it didn't feel like a music person's place at all. It's not relaxed at all: stiff chairs, tiny tables very...

Had around 4-5 hours in here last weekend as a friend was DJing there. What a great place, really chilled out and understated. Fantastic audio system which even spreads to the loo's!! Go check it out....... Beer choice is very limited and expensive. I wasn't...

Went to check out Jeffrey Hinton DJ spinning his magic at this Cafe & Bar in Kings Cross, development The cafe was busy the bar is minuscule with no space two dance, it's yet another eating place with a crowd in a wardrobe of gap...

A place with a very nice atmosphere, staff was extremely professional & the service very quick.Great food & nice selection of wines.The music selection is absolutely sublime & the sound system is outstanding.A true gem in London. I’ll be back.

A good place for a quick lunch. Plenty of choice in this new London neighborhood. Lot of vegan and veggy options.

I thought, when I paid £9.50 for a salt beef sandwich, that it would probably be a pretty good salt beef sandwich. It wasn't. It was very dry, with the gherkin sat next to it on the plate. I mean, you pay £9.50, you don't...

Spectacular ambiance even though it was only 4 in the afternoon. had some lovely chips with a aioli and spicy sauce - very yummy

Great quick lunch. Healthy meal and service was superb. Salty beef sandwich is great option. Highly recommended

Excellent cocktail bar. Good service and love the retro music equipment. Perfect place for a drink with friends.

Great atmosphere, awesome sound system (even the toilets are equipped), Interesting drinks and friendly staff.

Interesting cocktails, ambience and great tapas alongside a curated DJ list make this a really nice place to meet friends and relax in the evenings. Even music in the toilets! A great find!

I hadn't realised this was a hip place- we came because my boyfriend wanted to see the famous massive speakers- but we had a really pleasant lunch, in a laid-back atmosphere, with attentive and friendly staff. Price was what you'd expect for that area of...

I heard about Spiritland on a BBC World magazine-style TV show. It was described as "the" cafe for music lovers, due to its amazing sound system and live DJs all the time. My dad loves audio equipment so I booked a table there for his...

I came here after a meeting with five colleagues, it was mid-week and in the afternoon so it was quiet. We sat down and sometime later two menus were slung at us (literally thrown onto the table from about a meter away by one of...

This place is amazing! Great cocktails, great atmosphere! Definitely recommend! Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Had brunch today at Spiritland and it was very average. Paid £20 for orange juice, a bitter and small latte and avocado and poached egg on toast. The avocado did not taste great, egg was ok. My friends ordered some roast potatoes, they are cooked...

I was looking forward to this. Pity the service was so abrupt: inattentive yet in your face, with that London thing of trying to make you feel grateful for permission to be a customer. Shame.

Oh dear what has happened. I have been to Spiritland a number of times and always enjoyed it. The cocktail menu, choice of craft beers, food, great music and general ambience has always been spot on, but recently....it has slipped. Visiting with a friend in...

We were here last night for a friends birthday. I did have reservations about sitting in front of a bank of state-of-the-art loudspeakers and what socializing in this environment might do to one's voice (which I had to use the next day), not to mention...

I guess they have to pay for all that expensive music equipment somehow! nice music - but felt really ripped off with the price of such a small beer

A restaurant that turns into a bar in the evening. Food is limited, although quite refined. Go there for the dj music and for the toilet experience! Every cabin has its own excellent sound system!

My experience was having one foot in the door, half an hour before advertised closing time and being implacably informed 'sorry we're closed'. All I wanted was a quick cocktail to round off a brilliant birthday as one of my favourtie Djs was there. It...

OK so what would be your wierdest Saturday night out with your mates? I experienced mine last night at this place. It's a ' 'listening experience' with a £5,000 music system and some great DJs but you're NOT allowed to dance!!! WTF! It says it's...

So, they have great dj's here. But you're not allowed to dance to the music. I'll say that again in capital letters so there's no misunderstanding me - THEY DON'T LET PEOPLE DANCE. Apparently it's a 'listening space'. If they were playing Radio 4 I...

we wont be returning because of poor customer service & overpriced . come on spiritland sort it out please i really wanted to like this place being an audio nut . btw nice equipment you have on show there shame there was no depth to...

I love Spiritland, one of my favourite places in London. This place is unique, so if you want cheap alcohol, 'value for money' food and generic music stay in your local Harvester. This place is for people who appreciate good music and a great kitchen....

One of us ordered the salt beef sandwich, £11. It was a roll, not a sandwich, but ok. Two of us ordered the beetroot with Italian cheese and nuts, £8. it was tiny,starter size, and on a plate the size of my hand. With tap...

I must admit I discovered spiritland by accident, it was a hot summers evening and I was out with a friend and we we needed a drink. It was lovely the waiter, a lovely Spanish man was most welcoming and did everything to make me...

Stopped off here for drinks at about 10 30 pm and sucked in the cool jazzy beats. One part lounge one part bar one part soul hangout....makes for a trendy and easy spot. Will try the food next time. Bottled beer was quite fancy dan....

Great location as jsut around the corner from Kings Cross and by the new redevelopment in the area. Nice decoration inside, friendly staff and good music. However there is something missing (maybe spirit?! ) Often the music is covered by sounds coming from the coffee...

This place makes a big deal of its fantastic sound system. It certainly looks the part with huge speakers, valves poking out in all directions and expensive-looking DJ kit. But when I was there, a lot of the music they played was a long way...

I've been there for breakfast, lunch, coffees and pint and can only recommend as everything was excellent. Atmosphere is fantastic. Staff is always very helpful and welcoming.

Spiritland is in the new Kings Cross community north of the re-developed cool area north of Kings Cross station. Sound system needs to be seen to be believed - its huge, with 3 turntables of exceptional quality. Very cool modern atmosphere. Beer quality good and...

I am so happy to have found this place. The music was awesome the food was surprisingly good and the atmosphere was good.

Fast friendly service. Didn't really enjoy sitting right by the speaker - far to loud for breakfast and poorly positioned by the tables (understand for the evening experience). Coffee was nice and strong. Poached eggs ok but bacon very tasty

Heard about the place on Radio 3 and it was certainly worth the visit. High tech sound systems with a studio...and a DJ...and a kitchen...and a bar. Menu fairly simple but food is good. Whole experience very entertaining

Hats off to Paul Noble for his commitment to top quality audio and his investment in an awesome sound system. However, when I was there for the recent Radio 3 event, the hi-fi had to fight with the nearby kitchen and coffee machine. It was...

Fresh pressed orange juice, eggs and bacon on a toast and problem solving tea and great music sound. What a fine way to start our visit to London coming in from St. Pancras station.
