The Escapologist is an elusive basement cocktail bar in the heart of Seven Dials. Based in the riotous Headquarters of the secret society that ran Victorian London, The Escapologist is styled as part "modern day Victorian men’s club" and "part Masonic lodge". Partying like it's 1899 seven days a week, the focus is on memorable times with great drinks in an outrageous space.
Every Saturday, and the occasional Sunday, we host our famous Mamma Mia Bottomless Brunch. Visit the What's On tab for more information and to buy your tickets.
Our bar is renowned for its decadent, creative and experimental cocktail menu crafted by our in-house team of expert mixologists. Try our fabulous concoctions during Happy Hour and you can enjoy 2-4-£14 on all of our cocktail range. Cocktails not your thing? We have £4.50 beer bottles and £25 bottles of Prosecco too. Click the offers tab to see timings.
Boasting leather booths, glitter-clad tabletops and secret rooms, the bar ignites allure and is a time-capsule that catapults its guests to a time when raucous partying was all the rage. It is the perfect establishment to host a private soiree, party or corporate function. Visit the Private Hire tab for more information on our capacities and minimum spends.
