London: The Chocolate Cocktail Club

London’s Chocolate Cocktail Club turns dessert into a drink, with more than 20 chocolate cocktails ranging from mint and salt caramel to a new Toblerone creation. You receive a Chocotini on arrival, then can order more drinks, light bites and desserts in a bar built around one very sweet idea.

I like the original cocktail menu and the small-group limit of 10, which should make the visit feel more manageable than a packed party bar. I also like the fallback choices: wine, beer, prosecco, coffee, mocktails and hot chocolate mean non-chocolate drinkers are not left stranded.

The main catch is that the first cocktail is chosen for you, even if another drink costs the same. Also, one booking price was reported as higher than the price paid at the venue, so check the direct price before you commit.

Key points

• A Chocotini starts the visit: Every ticket includes one cocktail on arrival, but you do not choose that first drink.
• More than 20 chocolate cocktails: Look for mint, salt caramel and the brand new Toblerone option.
• A proper backup menu: Wine, beer, prosecco, coffee, hot chocolate and mocktails are available.
• Small groups only: Numbers are limited to 10 participants, useful for a more contained evening out.
• Adults only: You must be over 18 and bring a passport or ID card.
• No Saturday sessions: The listed times run Tuesday through Friday, with different hours each day.

London’s sweetest bar has one clear idea

The Chocolate Cocktail Club is not trying to be a general sightseeing stop. It is a themed drinks outing built around the combination of spirits, chocolate and dessert flavors.

That focus is the appeal. You are not simply ordering a standard cocktail with a chocolate garnish. The menu is designed around chocolate-led creations, with flavors such as mint, salt caramel and Toblerone. If you enjoy sweet drinks, this gives you a chance to try combinations you may not find on an ordinary London bar menu.

The setting also suits a celebration. Birthdays, hen parties and anniversaries are specifically welcome, and the concept gives a group an easy shared theme. Nobody needs to debate which museum to visit or what kind of restaurant to choose. You meet for drinks, try something unusual and make the chocolate menu the main event.

That same focus can be a drawback if you prefer dry, bitter or spirit-forward cocktails. The venue does offer traditional drinks, wine and beer, but the signature experience is clearly sweet. I would book it for the novelty and the menu, not as a replacement for a classic cocktail bar.

Your arrival drink is a Chocotini

Each ticket includes a Chocotini cocktail on arrival. This is a useful part of the package because you get an immediate taste of the theme without paying for your first drink separately.

There is one detail you should know before booking: the arrival cocktail is selected for you. You cannot choose your preferred option, even if another cocktail on the menu costs the same. That has been a source of frustration for some people, especially those who already know they dislike a particular flavor.

If you are flexible, this is a minor inconvenience and may add a small element of surprise. If you have a strong preference for mint, caramel or another flavor, ask about the arrival drink before ordering. The available information does not specify which Chocotini you receive, so do not assume you can select it in advance.

The first drink also sets the tone for the rest of the visit. You can use it as a sample before deciding if you want to spend more on the larger menu. That matters because the ticket covers the arrival cocktail only. Additional drinks are extra.

More than 20 chocolate cocktails to choose from

The menu is the heart of the experience. You will find more than 20 chocolate cocktails, giving you a better range than a single novelty drink usually provides.

The named flavors offer a sense of what to expect:

• Mint for a cool, familiar chocolate combination.
• Salt caramel for a sweeter drink with a salty edge.
• Toblerone, the newer option, for a recognizable chocolate-bar flavor.

The menu includes many other chocolate creations, though the supplied information does not list every recipe. That is worth keeping in mind if you are planning around a particular spirit or ingredient. You know the flavor direction, but not the full recipe for each drink.

I like the range because it lets you treat the visit as a tasting-style evening. You could begin with the included Chocotini, share impressions with your group, then choose a second drink based on the flavor you liked best. The small-group cap of 10 also makes this more suitable for a compact celebration than a large, loose gathering.

Still, chocolate cocktails can become heavy quickly. I would avoid treating the menu like a challenge to sample everything. One included drink and one additional cocktail may be enough for many people, particularly if you also order dessert or an edible chocolate shot.

Edible chocolate shots and light bites

The food menu is designed for grazing rather than a full meal. You can order light bites and desserts, and the edible chocolate shots add another playful touch.

This matters because a cocktail-only stop may feel brief, especially if you are paying for a timed visit rather than planning a full evening around it. Adding a small bite gives you a reason to stay longer and helps balance the sweetness of the drinks.

The information does not provide a full food menu, portion sizes or prices. You should therefore think of the food as an optional extra, not part of the ticket. If you need dinner, make separate plans. Light bites and desserts may complement the drinks, but they are not presented as a full meal.

The edible shots are likely to appeal most to people who enjoy novelty and presentation. They also work well for a birthday or hen party, where the unusual detail becomes part of the celebration. If you prefer a straightforward drink without theatrical extras, you can simply order from the regular menu.

Non-chocolate drinkers still have choices

A group does not need to be made up entirely of chocolate fans. The bar serves bottled beer, wine, prosecco, hot chocolate, coffee, mocktails and other drinks.

That is one of the practical strengths of the venue. A mixed group can stay together without forcing every person into a chocolate cocktail. Someone who wants a glass of wine can order wine. Someone avoiding alcohol can choose a mocktail, coffee or hot chocolate.

The backup menu also makes the venue easier to recommend for celebrations. You may have one person who loves sweet cocktails and another who would rather drink prosecco. Both can take part in the same outing.

The trade-off is that the non-chocolate selection is described only in broad terms. You are told the categories, but not the brands, mocktail flavors or complete wine list. If a particular drink is important to your plans, contact the venue before booking rather than assuming it will be available.

The schedule works best for an afternoon or early evening

The opening times vary by day:

• Tuesday: 1:30pm to 5:30pm
• Wednesday: 4:30pm to 10pm
• Thursday: 4:30pm to 10pm
• Friday: 1:30pm to 10pm

There are no Saturday sessions listed. That is the biggest scheduling limitation, particularly for people planning a weekend celebration. Friday offers the widest useful window, with afternoon and evening availability. Tuesday is shorter and ends at 5:30pm, making it better for an early stop than a full night out.

Wednesday and Thursday begin at 4:30pm and run until 10pm, so they fit naturally before or after dinner. You should check the actual start time when booking because availability can change.

The experience is listed as valid for one day, which means you should treat your chosen session as a single visit rather than a flexible pass for repeated use. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you arrange your own way to and from the Chocolate Cocktail Club.

Small groups, adult rules and practical details

The group size is limited to 10 participants. That is small enough to feel more controlled than a large bar event, but it does not mean you receive a private booking. If you are arranging a birthday or hen party, check how many people are in your own group before assuming the entire space will be reserved.

The venue is strictly over 18s. Children under 18 cannot take part, and you must bring a passport or ID card. That identification rule applies even if you look clearly over 18, so do not leave your ID at the hotel.

Pets are not allowed, although assistance dogs are permitted. The ticket does not include extra drinks, food, transport or hotel transfers.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option also allows you to hold a place without paying immediately, which is useful when your London schedule is not fixed.

Is the ticket good value at $14?

At the listed price of $14 per person, the ticket is reasonable if you want the themed setting and the included Chocotini. You are paying for a distinctive bar concept and a first drink, not for a full meal or an open bar.

The value becomes less clear if you planned to visit only for one drink. Additional cocktails, food and desserts cost extra, and the included drink cannot be swapped freely for another option. A person who dislikes sweet drinks may find the ticket less useful, even with the regular bar menu available.

There is also a price-checking point. One booking customer reported paying 13 euros for the activity online while finding it cheaper at the venue. Prices can change, but this is enough reason to compare the booking price with the venue’s direct price before paying. If the online ticket is only slightly higher, the cancellation terms and pay-later option may justify the difference. If you are already nearby and plans are flexible, checking the bar directly could save money.

The best value comes when you use the included drink as the start of a short themed outing, not when you expect a complete evening to be covered by $14.

Who will enjoy the Chocolate Cocktail Club?

I would recommend this experience to adults who enjoy sweet cocktails, themed bars and playful food-and-drink ideas. It is a natural fit for a birthday, hen party or anniversary, especially when your group wants a place that feels different from a standard pub.

It also suits a small group that wants a simple plan. You arrive, receive the Chocotini, explore the chocolate menu and decide if you want light bites, dessert or another drink. The format does not require a long tour schedule or a full evening of commitments.

I would be more cautious if you dislike chocolate, avoid alcohol or prefer classic cocktails. The wine, beer, coffee, mocktails and hot chocolate provide alternatives, but the central idea remains chocolate cocktails.

I would also skip it for a Saturday plan unless the venue adds a session not shown here. Friday is the safest choice for a longer window, while Tuesday works for an afternoon visit.

Should you book this chocolate cocktail experience?

Book it if you want a focused, adult-only drinks outing with an unusual menu and a little celebration energy. The included Chocotini, the choice of more than 20 chocolate cocktails and the small-group limit give the visit a clear purpose.

Before booking, check three things: the exact price, the arrival cocktail selection and the day’s opening hours. If you want to choose your first drink or need Saturday availability, this may disappoint. If you are happy with a fixed Chocotini and extra spending after arrival, it offers a fun London stop with a strong point of difference.
