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 are what most reviewers return to, with the cherry bomb and a mojito singled out, and one reviewer praising drinks that actually taste of alcohol. Close behind are the staff, described as friendly, relaxed and welcoming, and the atmosphere, called lush and great. Food earns its own praise: karaage chicken, steak frites with dessert, a pastrami sandwich special, and small plates. Service is occasionally called a bit slow, though one reviewer attributes that to a busy bar. The sharpest complaint comes from one reviewer who ordered French martinis advertised on a menu card, found them tiny and two thirds foam, and was told the offer only ran Monday to Wednesday, then was charged a service charge. The same reviewer reports a leaking ceiling and no atmosphere. Another reviewer noted spotless bathrooms stocked with deodorant, dry shampoo and period products, and a group of retired colleagues stayed from 5pm until about 8.30pm without being rushed.

“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!”
