  “The whole experience of this place is exceptional, my friend and I just happened to find this place and we were so intrigued by the story of Mr Fogg! The drinks all tells a story and they have many other branches with different themes of his adventure and menus made based on their theme. We’ve learnt all of the above all from the loveliest lady at the front entrance, her name is Effie. Effie is so passionate about the place and had us so fascinated about the stories and theme. She also got us seated and chatted with us while we were waiting to be seated, we felt so welcomed. We are so grateful for her because this would’ve been a completely different experience, she is just exceptional. We’ve had the best time and definitely will be back to try out more drinks! 🩷”

  “Mr Fogg’s Society of Exploration is one of the best speakeasy-style bars in London, and it feels immersive from the moment you arrive. Right from the start, you are drawn into their world, and the atmosphere is clever, playful, and full of character. The whole experience feels much more like stepping into a story than simply walking into a bar, which is exactly what makes it so memorable. One of the highlights was the butler at the door, who was absolutely amazing and set the tone for the evening beautifully. The entrance itself is part of the fun, as you follow a ball through a tube to reach the underground bar, which adds to the sense of discovery and anticipation. Once inside, you are greeted by a smiling, welcoming waitress, and the service continues to feel warm and attentive throughout the visit. The drinks menu is very impressive, with plenty of options to choose from, including five non-alcoholic versions, which is a great touch. I tried two different drinks and both were delicious, well balanced, and thoughtfully made. The prices also felt fair considering the quality of the experience and the level of detail in the venue. It strikes a good balance between being special and still feeling accessible. I also had the pleasure of meeting my waitress Jessica, who was truly a delight to be around. She was patient when explaining the drinks to me and made the experience feel even more personal and enjoyable. That kind of service makes a big difference, and it really stood out. It is always nice when staff are not just efficient but genuinely friendly and engaged. I also tried the sausage rolls, which were fine but could have been better. They were not the highlight of the evening, but they did not take away from the overall experience either. The focus here is clearly more on the atmosphere, drinks, and sense of adventure, and in that regard the bar does extremely well. All in all, if you want to try something unique in London, this is definitely the place to go. It is stylish, creative, and full of personality, with excellent service and a setting that feels completely transportive. For anyone looking for a memorable speakeasy experience, Mr Fogg’s Society of Exploration is absolutely worth visiting.”

  “We love a cocktail in a quirky place, and this is just the place for that. Whilst the cocktails are on the pricy side (you are in London) and they are lovely. It was quite noisy, but you could hear to have a conversation and aren't all on top of each other. The one thing that was a bit disappointing was the fact that it felt quite rushed, we had arrived early for our time, and by the time we had finished our first drink were being told that we needed to be finished at the table in the next 20 minutes. The table next to us were offered to be seated elsewhere, we weren't offered that.”

  “We only had cocktails, food options looked pretty limited. They had a pretty decent selection of cocktails and the ones we had were fine. I would say you get more from the atmosphere than anything else, we had 2 drinks each which were all fine but nothing special. It's more of a one and done place I would say, not many other patrons seemed to hang around for more than that, probably a busy spot pre or post a show”

  “Electra was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was professional and always with a smile. The cocktails were also incredible — beautifully made, delicious, and perfectly balanced. You can really tell that care and attention go into every drink. Overall, a fantastic experience thanks to Electra and the great atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

  “The bar is beautiful. Quirky yet comfortable, with excellent lighting and interesting sections. Broadly speaking the drinks were very good. Some of the presentations were a bit weird; do I want or need my drink served on the back of a camel statue? Probably not. Service was mostly very good. We had a light bite of the sausage roll which was just okay. Price wise I would say it's kind of where I'd expect it to be. I'd go back happily.”

  “Stumbled across Mr.Foggs following a meal in Covent Garden. I had heard of this wacky bar, I was drawn to the ball run down the entrance stairs as you enter, the dressing of the interior is second on none and stunning. The experience itself was ok, however would have hoped for more of an experience opposed to mediocre Cocktails. We have done it now and will call it an experience, but not generally my cup of tea. Enjoyable but a one time only for us.”

  “The venue was wonderfully curated, the staff super helpful and the cocktails - taste and presentation (the golden camel, for example) simply superb. Snacks including vegan ones, delicious. Plus (it was my daughter's birthday) Mr. Fogg's personal missive was much appreciated.”
