About The Spiritualist
On Miller St, The Spiritualist is a cocktail bar with seating on offer at high top tables around the bar area, where the bar staff can be watched making drinks. The menu runs to small plates alongside dishes such as karaage chicken and steak frites, with a pastrami sandwich served as a lunch special. Recurring cocktails include the cherry bomb and mojito. The bar takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and a service charge is added to the bill. The bathroom is stocked with a box of essentials, including deodorant, dry shampoo, and period products.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly singling out favorites like the cherry bomb and a mojito described as the best one had, alongside a cocktail menu called strong enough that drinkers could actually taste the alcohol. Close behind, the food earns consistent mentions, from steak frites and dessert to a pastrami sandwich special and karaage chicken. Several reviewers highlight the staff by name for going out of their way, and one calls the bathroom's stocked essentials a nice touch. A few note service running slow when the bar gets busy. One reviewer describes a more serious complaint: a menu insert advertising £7.50 French martinis turned out to be restricted to certain weekdays, leading to a bill over £26 with a service charge added and, in that reviewer's account, a leaking ceiling and little atmosphere on the night. Most others, though, describe returning or wanting to return for more cocktails and small plates.

“Very disappointed. Went in for a pre dinner cocktail for my boyfriend’s birthday on 27/8/26. In inside sleeve at front of menu there was a page with a selection of cocktails for £7.50, some special priced spirits and mixers and beers. We ordered 2 French martinis, which were advertised at £7.50. When they came they were tiny and 2 thirds foam. We were only there about 25 mins. There was no atmosphere and the ceiling was leaking badly behind where my boyfriend was sitting. We asked for the bill and when it came it was over £26. I said about the offer in the menu and was told that was only on Monday to Wednesday. There was no mention of it only being on certain days. Why was it in the front of the menu on a Thursday in that case? It was a card that could be removed. We were also charged a service charge. Still really annoyed about it. I went over to say how misleading it was, but didn’t get a satisfactory response. Would not go back”

“The very charming Andrew was so lovely and welcoming to me and my friends. Great cocktails and great atmosphere can’t wait to go back again. Would have stayed all night if we could but just *not tonight* as we had a show to go to!”
