Description

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.

Boasting leather booths, glitter-clad tabletops and even, hidden rooms, the space 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 and even throws its famous Mamma Mia bottomless brunch every Saturday.

The Escapologist is renowned for its decedent cocktail menu, crafted by their team of dedicated mixologists. From smoking whisky concoctions to refined classics - they run an illustrious happy hour that includes 2-4-£12 cocktails, £4 on selected beers, £4 spirit and mixers, and £20 bottles of Prosecco.
