The Cocktail Trading Co. Brick Lane in Tower Hamlets

Easily my favorite cocktail bar in London. They have a rotating menu with the most unique, tasty, and ice-breaking cocktails in the city!!

This place is so much fun, staff are on point and match your energy, cocktails are good, don't be afraid to go "off-menu" they do most classics.

Lovely staff. Nice cocktails and quite a big cocktail menu.

All the cocktails we tried between us were great. Honestly what a nice cosy place to hang out and have some quality cocktails. Staff were excellent, good recommendations and looked after us for the time we had here. I liked the addition of games you can play here aswell, relaxed but buzzing vibe which suited us on a Saturday afternoon. Top place for great cocktails.

Tasty and fun cocktails with super friendly staff that you can tell enjoy being there. It's shocking. Highly recommend.

Attention to detail and service time was immaculate and the staff were super friendly!

Absolutely amazing place the bartenders are a great chat and the drinks are smooth

Amazing I'll be back, hope you lived the Squid Game 🍹

Great vibes, very good service and really attentive in terms of drink quantity

I had a wonderful time at this cocktail bar. I came here a few days ago to celebrate my birthday, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the cocktails were amazing for a great price (for London) of £12.50 each! I went for the “Is It Cake?” and “Careless Vesper” cocktails. The first was wonderfully inventive, topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a candle to resemble a cake and filled with cake-like liqueurs, and the second was a really well-made take on a vesper martini which definitely packed a punch with its amount of gin! Both cocktails were quite strong so felt like great value for money, and combined with the fantastic atmosphere this made for a great evening. I’ll definitely be returning, and would highly recommend as a spot for cocktails which is affordable, relaxed, and inventive, but can also feel like a special event.

Great cocktails and bar snacks, service was excellent. Had a great time and not too expensive.

A very cool, quirky, and unassuming bar serving extremely unique cocktails. Certainly not your average cocktail bar, the bartenders certainly know their stuff.

the bartender is an expert when it comes time to classic cocktails, insanely attentive service, so friendly! would definitely come back here. the prices are very reasonable for london too! cant find a bad thing to say about this place

Drinks were very fun - some were more aesthetics over taste but the broccoli one was both tasty and fun! Staff were quite busy so was quite difficult to get their attention but once you got them they were very friendly and constantly topping up water. Overall would definitely come back to try some of the cocktails I didn’t get to try!

Superb cocktails and impeccable vibes. Would have ordered the entire menu in one sitting no problem.

What a cool little place, service was top class, atmosphere is cute cozy perfect for a date/ catch up with a friend. The presentation of the cocktails is the best part, and to match that the cocktails themselves aren’t half bad. Well done to the team.

One of the best cocktail bars in the city and surely one of my favourite drinking experiences The drinks are as imaginative as they are delicious as they are beautiful. They're playful & fun, ideal for a date My first drink was called 'Is it cake?'. It both looked like & tasted like a cake, incredible Decor inside is tasteful & well thought out. The general vibe is cosy Owner of the place knows exactly what he's doing and is a master of his craft. If you visit any cocktail bar in London, make sure you come here.

Very nice cocktail pub with a very unusual menu. Here you can drink super pretty cocktails that are served in unusual vessels and taste really unique. A lot of it has a nerdy feel! The employees are very friendly and know their stuff well. It's clear which drinks are vegan.

I love this place! It’s a hidden gem, just a few minutes walk from Brick Lane. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the decorations are pirate themed. I think the decorations, including the bathroom look sick. Tris is friendly and ensures I’m happy with my order - my order is quite simple but their sauces make it truly incredible. I would be happy to go back there again

Really cool place, with great atmosphere, delicious and unique cocktails and amazing service. The cocktails are also reasonably priced for London, at £12 each. The dim lights inside and all the quirky details make this place on my top list, so will definitely come back.

Atmospheric bar. Staff were amazing. Very helpful and friendly.

The cocktails are dangerously good. We have been to the other bar ( Murder Inc ) and what a places & atmosphere. You guys will see us again!

Holly was AWESOME and really capped off our London visit perfectly. Cocktails were amazing and inventive and it was just so much fun to be there! Honestly one of the most fun times we've ever had at a cocktail bar.

This spot is incredible! The cocktails were super fun and delicious. Props to the team that created and designed the menu. Holly was so sweet and made us feel welcomed. I've never see anyone work as fast as her. It was truly impressive!

Amazing service and atmosphere ❤️

Fantastic drinks and service. Can't recommend enough.

My absolute favourite cocktail bar in London. Well worth a visit!

Great atmosphere, lovely cocktails and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Amazing place - great drinks. Friendly staff. Holly with a y was amazing

Great service and delicious cocktails...what's not to love? The bar feels like somewhere you could go to get a cheeky cocktail by yourself or meet up with friends like we did. My new place in Shoreditch ❤️

Holly was amazing! As always great service and great drinks - recommend to anyone. Really good music too, menus the full Monty

Have sampled our way through three of their exquisitely creative menus in the last two years. The team continues to surprise us with their meticulous attention to detail and their imaginative creations. Top notch mixology accompanied by the friendliest hosts. Thank you, always a pleasure. Congrats on your brilliant additions to the menu Mandy.

One of the best cocktail bars in East London, if not London, absolute professionals, dedicated to making great drinks and giving great service. Never had a negative experience. Also creative cocktails that work well. Thank you

What a great place to spend the evening! I especially liked the atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!

The new menu is pretty darn epic, and they also let me play with toys at the bar. 0 complaints

Very loud, almost impossible to have a conversation.

Has been one of my favourite bars for years of visiting london. Now that I live here it is a staple of my week. Amazing staff, amazing drinks, cannot beat the vibe. One of the best bars in london.

Great and unique drinks, very friendly service. Always worth a visit!

Great and unusual drinks 🍸, free water and the nicest service you could wish for!

Another wonderful time at our local, we are there at least once per week if not more. Six cocktails later time for home. Drunks are amazing as are the staff, all really professional and friendly.

Awsome place! Great service and experience was amazing, so looking forward to bring friends over.

Very welcoming place, really inventive drinks beautifully presented at decent prices. Would recommend

Great cocktails, friendly staff

Amazing service by Monty so welcoming and warm good recommendation and cocktails

Great cocktails and very friendly staff!

A really lovely and cosy spot for creative cocktails and laughs. Great gimmicks I could never of thought off haha!! Monty was so lovely and made sure we were having a great time !! Will be back !

Best espresso martini I’ve ever had. We’ve had about 6. I’m writing this feeling so sick from espresso martini but every sip was worth it. Also the staff serving us have been lovely. 4 stars instead of 5 because I have to physically try hard to speak over the music which is probably just because we’re sitting beneath a speaker.

10/10 must go!! Creative, delicious drinks, fun atmosphere and awesome wait staff. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff and good service

Incredible cocktails, wonderful service. The owner was super friendly and accommodating and I’ve never had such creative and delish cocktails ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Great range of unusual cocktails.

Hammer BAR Never seen such a selection of unusual cocktails. Service was extremely friendly and accommodating. Any time !!!

Ryan & Tris !!! THE BEST GUYS EVER 10/10 service 10/10 drinks So fast, so kind, if you don’t go, you’re missing out!!!!

Hands down, this is the best cocktail bar we’ve been to in London. Highly recommended

Came here solo by myself (female traveler) before my dinner reservations. The bartender made me feel very welcomed and comfortable! He was so nice and easy to talk to! I ordered an espresso martini with tequila and it was fantastic. All the drinks here are the same price I believe 12£ Definitely a nice little spot to catch a vibe and grab a cute cocktail

Elliot was super friendly and recommended some fantastic drinks that were on point. Loved the drinks, venue and atmosphere. Clearly a schizophrenics safe space. Came for the voices...stayed for the voices.

Super funky cocktails here and really friendly attentive service. I arrived very thirsty and appreciated being given tap water automatically, and refills without even having to ask! I had a whisky cocktail that had some kind of pineapple liqueur in it, which was delicious. My friends' cocktails looked great too. We came on a tuesday evening and got a seat outside without having to wait. I would definitely come here again! Would make a good date spot or a good place for a girls night out, etc.

Unbelievable cocktails, really creative, but still hitting the standard palette well.

Delicious cocktails, nice cozy place. Love how elaborate the cocktail menu is, and how helpful the ladies there are.

Great cocktails. They’re gimicky cocktails, but in a really fun way with quality at the heart. Ask the guys to make a classic and it’s perfect. Great value too.

there was mozzarella with my drink 10/10

Everything was 10/10. Will definitely revisit.

Cocktails are beautiful and the staff are lovely! Would definitely recommend.

Delicious cocktails with very friendly staffs :) They have the house menu with creative ones and also do classic ones if you request. The atmosphere is great and the liquor bar is simply amazing

The staff are bloody incredible

The Cocktail Trading Co is a must visit in east london! The cocktails are lovingly designed and handmade by the best bar staff in London. You’ll get a delicious drink and the best service available. 10 out of 5 stars love this place.

Great innovative cocktails that taste fantastic. We had the best Margharetas ever here and the service was friendly and helpful. Definitely one for our list of regular cocktail bars to visit.

Amazing venue.. waitess was so friendly and helpful.. 100% worth a visit.. quality original cocktails aswell as all the classics.. very small so get in early or book !!

Really amzing quirky bar , the drinks are really well presented and for only £12 for every cocktail its definitely worth the price

Excellent drinks and service. One of my favorite bars in Shoreditch when I'm in London.

Very creative cocktails and friendly staff; my only critique is to change up the White Trojan (the moka pot) so the sugar powder doesn’t spill over everybody’s clothes 🙏 we went home looking like dusted brownies.

Original and Yummy cocktails. If you like to be surprised with imaginative cocktail experience, and spend for it, in a small but cosy atmosphere with attentive waiters, then this place is for you !

This is genuinely the best bar in london. It's affordable, aesthetic, and fun! The staff are so charismatic and attentive and the menu is thoughtful and amusing. All other bars have paled in comparison since trying this one!

Absolutely gorg cocktails. Lovely team who are welcoming, knowledgeable and super funny. The perfect spot for drinks for ANY occasion. Big up to the boss lady who is fire 🔥. No photos, but reel coming soon on my insta sammijoknows #dogfriendly

Truly did not know what to expect and could not have had a better experience. To start, the staff are exceptional. So friendly and congenial. They really wanted us to enjoy the experience with their establishment. And it is so apparent through the decor/experience/menu that they really care about crafting an experience through their bar. The menu itself is a treasure. Each page is hilarious and so intelligently thought out. I kept thinking each description of a drink would be the best and most random until I got to the next one. This manifests to the drinks itself, which are all so interesting. One came in a customized Old Bae container, another with a folded swan adornment, another with a burrito wrapped around the cup to actually eat the seasoning on top? So random, so fun. And the drinks themselves were so tasty! And very well priced. Finally, the decor is the maybe the most random part. But I have a feeling the randomness is in fact actually thoroughly considered. Each poster funnier than the last. Highly recommend making a stop in. We made a reservation but it wasn't terribly busy when we went during the week so at the least worth trying to pop in.

Great original cocktails Top service Very cool atmosphere Fair price for London I highly recommend this cocktail bar :-)

Great place, bartenders who make great cocktails! Ryan is a lovely guy who will make you feel welcomed. Olly made me a Clover Club, I had told him I had this pink drink with egg white when I was 20 and never had it again. He knew it was the clover club! Having this pink tasty drink again made me nostalgic. Definitely coming back!

I really appreciate the welcome and great vibe and great drinks

Amazing cocktails, staff were very attentive especially Ryan and Monty. Lovely atmosphere as well.

We stumbled upon this place as we were trying to get away from the crowds around Box Park and I’m so glad we did! Our waitress got us a table easily even though we were walk-ins. The service was amazing, we were given tap water straight away, the menu explained and they were super friendly and attentive. And then the cocktails - wow! So delicious! We had the White Trojan which is like a White Russian but with hints of walnut and malt flavours - divine. They also had interesting combinations like a salmon and cream cheese cocktail which my friend was brave enough to try and it blew our minds, so different and tasty! I’d recommend and will try to come back.

Spectacular drinks, great prices, and lukewarm banter. Can’t wait to come back.

The cocktails are good but the waitress sneakily added £5 tip to a £24 bill even though the bill came as ‘service not included’. Seems a bit greedy and dishonest.

Where "Philadelphia Cream Cheese" stole their old saying from... "A little taste of heaven"

An excellent venue. Very fun drinks, and 10/10 service. Didn't catch the name of the guy, but probably the friendliest waiter I've ever met.

Really nice bar with some interesting cocktails that were all very reasonably priced. Staff were excellent; very professional and friendly. Would highly recommend

Great drinks amazing service and the staff are amazing as well ..!!

Probably one of the best cocktails bars I’ve been to! I booked a table for my partner’s birthday. We loved it, the staff was super kind and knowledgable, the atmosphere was great, the menu was very original and the cocktails were so delicious! We’ll be back!

Loved! the service was perfect, thank you Issota and harry! coming back soon.

Visited January 2024. Menu cocktails are creative and show knowledge of different flavour profiles. I order the same custom cocktail everywhere and they impressed me with their orange ginger "Christmass" cocktail. I don't know how they can maintain these prices, with this amount of quality

Excellent cocktail, great presentation, perfect service and super chill vibe. I highly recommend!

This is a cocktail bar with a very nice atmosphere. I ordered a lychee martini, and it was just the right amount of sweetness and easy to drink before my meal, and it whetted my appetite. I stopped by for a drink before making a restaurant reservation, but the various cocktails looked delicious, so I'd like to try some of the other cocktails next time.

Excellent cocktail bar with creative cocktails and very nice ambience!

Great cocktails, atmosphere, and service. Really chilled vibe, amazing cocktails without being pretentious. Will definitely be coming bacl

Brilliant little cocktail bar with very unique options on the menu. Their menus are themed and changes from time to time. Decent pricing. I will go again and definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a little different.

Visiting the cocktail trading Co. is an experience of its own. Brilliant, innovative cocktails. Amazing service and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Best espresso martini I've ever had. Service was outstanding 👏

This is such a unique and delightful bar! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The drinks are delicious and unique and they’re all £12!

Love Cocktails? Find no more. This is a MUST for good drink lovers. Awesome place, amazing people & servis, wonderful cocktails. Bartender Tom is kind, funny and top professional in his skills. Love this place!

This is my favourite bar in London! Awesome, reasonably priced drinks, great venue + no service charge. Topped off with the dream team, shoutout to Holly, Tris, Mandy & Alfie

Sorry - I didn't have the food but no N/A option. I should have madethat clear.
