About Discount Suit Company
Discount Suit Company occupies a former tailor's stockroom on Wentworth St in London, now a basement cocktail bar reached through an unmarked door and down a staircase. Exposed brick, wood beams, and candles light the small space. The menu mixes rotating specialty cocktails with classic drinks, including recurring names like the Corn Star and the Tijuana Panther, and a cheese plate covers the food side. Table service is provided, with staff recommending drinks from the menu. Walk-ins are accepted, and staff will find seating or let guests stand at the bar until a table opens, though reservations are taken as well, particularly for later in the evening. The dim, candlelit setting sits behind an entrance with no signage marking it from the street outside.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers singling out specific pours like the Corn Star and the Tijuana Panther, and one describing the specialty drinks as a "journey" worth taking before moving to the classics. Close behind is the cheese plate, called great and excellent by multiple diners as the pick if food is wanted at all, since one reviewer notes it's "not really a place for food" otherwise. The bare-brick, candlelit basement setting gets repeated mentions as cozy, dark, and intimate, and service is frequently called friendly and knowledgeable, with the bartenders' care noted often. A few reviewers found the cocktails "decent rather than extraordinary" though still praised the low prices for London. Given its small size, several reviewers recommend booking ahead for later visits, though walk-ins report being seated or accommodated at the bar without trouble.

“We were a group of 8 visiting for pre-dinner cocktails and without exception, we all loved it! It was our first visit and we’ve been telling everyone who will listen just how cool it is and that they should visit! The staff are amazing, very accommodating and knowledgeable - special mention for Tom who looked after us! Service was speedy too which helped us sample the menu which was very interesting and diverse. Such a unique experience, the decor is great and the atmosphere matched. A true hidden gem in East London!”

“any time I find myself in Liverpool street at evening time I make an effort to pop into this bar. it really is lovely. hard to find, with an unmarked open door leading to mysterious stairs. once downstairs you'll be greeted by a atmospherically lit, comfortable basement bar stock with the best drinks, made by wonderful bartenders. it's recommended that you try one of their specialty drinks first and then let that take you on a "journey" Don't neglect ordering the classics. I've found that no matter what your choice of tipple, they have exactly the right bottles to make a perfect version. it's rare you look at a bar back and just see nothing but the best and tastiest bottles. you can really see the care and imagination that goes into every drink. it's a "must attend" if you like cocktails and you're in London.”

“Did a walk in (recommend booking if coming later!) served by the lovely Tom who recommended great cocktails for my friend and I. Those that enjoy a sour with a pistachio twist will defo recommend the Tijuana Panther! Thanks again Tom!”

“Smaller than expected but still lovely atmosphere but very dark though! It was busy but the host told us we were allowed to stand and order drinks which we did until two seats at the bar freed up. Cheap cocktails for London prices and definitely gets you your moneys worth.”
