Description

Think that your fridge is for discarded old cheeses and stale bottles of milk? While yes would be our regular answer, there's one secret bar in the city championing a new way to look at fridges. 

Hidden behind a Smeg fridge, and accessible thanks to a cheeky request to see 'The Mayor' at the Breakfast Club bar, descend the stairs into a basement filled with fun, food and great drinks. A broody basement of vintage furniture and Canadian whisky lodge meets speakeasy, Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town is an elusive romp away from the bustle of upstairs.

The drinks list is eclectic with a selection of great spirits behind the bar and a small but interesting cocktail list (£7.50). The beer, cider and pale ale are also unique world-wide ones; no standard Corona or Becks here. Prices are reasonable and happily affordable for such a cool place. There is also a small food menu with hot nibbles to keep your stomach satisfied - the baby squid is delicious!

It was fun and great atmosphere. As it was busy table service was compromised. We would probably have had another drink if it had been better! visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 17 Sep 2017

Came with kids having booked online a few weeks back. They disappointed then not to be let in, nor apparently welcome in the bar. Understand a policy is in place and I should have been clearer I had kids but disappointing nonetheless. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

Had a brilliant afternoon. Staff were very friendly and the cocktails were fabulous. We also had brunch from the breakfast club which was delicious. Will be defiantly coming back and bringing friends as a great experience. thanks visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

We were very well attended to throughout the whole visit. It was a surprise for a friend and we were a group of 5. My friend was thrilled with the entry through the fridge. Another friend had suffered a heavy fall on her arm as we approached thr Breakfast Club and we asked for a glas of ice on taking our seats. Within 5 minutes we were presented with a pack of ice wrapped in cling film which was perfect for the job and which was more than we asked for and so exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were beautifully presented and very tasty. We were delighted with the whole visit. Thankyou. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

Very funky, very yummy cocktails just a shame I wasn't able to try a lot more of them as there were quite a lot that sounded appealing but were gin based and unfortunately I am unable to have gin. None the less I still enjoyed the drinks I had and the surroundings and atmosphere. I shall definitely be returning jasmine visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

Very nice evening. The mystery experience is what makes this good rather than the cocktails which I found overly sour. Light snacks were great and the staff were really friendly. The atmosphere was very nice and chilled with good music. Toilets were filthy!. Would come again carlsw visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

Long queue outside which we were able to pass and go straight to host with our reservation. All the hustle and bustle of The Breakfast Club were left behind once we passed through the fridge door and downstairs to the quite and civilised room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious although I would have loved the menu specifically for the restaurant but it wasn't on till after 5. We had the lunch menu for The Breafast Ckub upstairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would most definitely recommend to friends. We look forward to our next visit. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 16 Sep 2017

Really enjoyed our drinks and snacks here. Bar staff were helpful and friendly and never pushy. Gave us a little extra time and allowed a couple of extras in. Drinks were really nice and chilli beef fries and waffle bites were delicious. Everyone loved the fridge door entrance and the small space with a good vibe.

Really loved our visit, food was amazing service was good.

The service from the hosts was great, shown to our table rapidly after we arrived. Only small negatives were it was sometimes hard to talk over cocktail shakers AND mid-level music - maybe turn the music down a tiny bit? And sometimes difficult to get bartenders attention. Overall, a great experience, definitely will return! visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 06 Aug 2017

Such a cool find! Its in the basement of a bar/restaurant that has great drinks. I was a little hesitant to give the password so we got drinks at the upstairs bar and once we saw others go through the secret door, gave our waitress the password and were escorted downstairs to a dark and cute little space! Will definitely return the next time we are in London!

It's the second time attempting to go in, as the first had a really long wait so we decided to skip it. But this time around we got lucky and were seated almost immediately! It's a lovely place, the thrill definitely rests in it's elusive location.

Our first visit to see the mayor and it was great! We often go for brunch to the breakfast club when in London but I thought we'd go for something a bit more special for my partners birthday!

Great little hidden bar - although I'm sensing from how busy it was when I first arrived, its not so secret. Interesting cocktails, reasonably priced. It was torrentially raining outside therefore part of the stairwell was flooded, however the staff were very attentive and ensured the safe entry and exit of guests..

This is my second time here and I found it disappointing. I booked here as we had thought it so cool the first time and it was a special occasion. I identified in the booking that it was my partner's son's 18th birthday. Nothing was done to acknowledge this at all which could be forgiven but when we arrived the bartender was rude and condescending leaving the birthday boy a bit embarrassed. Not what I was expecting. After our first time we were ready to bring lots of people but I feel let down by the service the second time visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 09 Apr 2017

The team at The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town helped to make my husband's 40th birthday a truly unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and the unusual cocktails on offer. We could have stayed all night but it was great to find a cool, London venue that didn't require any money upfront or minimum spend...with a party of 10 we certainly racked up a healthy bar bill but without the pressure of feeling like we needed to spend £50 per person!! Thank you, we hope to visit again soon 😀 visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 29 Apr 2017

I'd not been before, I was surprising my wife. There was little build-up or time to take in The Breakfast Club before being led through the fridge, which my wife missed. Downstairs was just magic, the feeling of an old-school speak~easy with delicious cocktails. Some waiters were excellent, helpful and friendly, but two others were a bit rude and condescending. We really enjoyed the experience, although the food was a bit of a let-down, and we only ate one chicken wing each and a mouthful of the waffle. The chilli was delicious, though! In summation, knock-out cocktails in an awesome basement hide-away, sadly let down by mediocre bar snacks and two sultry waiters, made up for with excellent service from everyone else. I hope to return soon, and many thanks to those that deserve it! visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 20 Apr 2017

My daughter and I visited mayor of scaredy cat town on Thursday as part of her 18th birthday celebration. We only stayed for half an hour as we had a very busy schedule but we absolutely loved it. All tha staff were warm and friendly, the atmosphere inside was great and the cocktails, we left knowing we will definitely be back for more next time we visit London.

We had to wait a full 45 minutes after being seated before even being looked at by the staff, so were pretty thirsty by that point, despite there only being 15 other people in the place. That's the only complaint, the drinks and the food were magnificent and it's a truly beautiful quirky place. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 15 Apr 2017

A group of 11 of us had brunch at The Mayor for my dad's 60th Birthday. The booking was easy - any questions I had were answered promptly via email and on the day, we were running a little late which was not a problem when I called to let them know. The cocktails were fantastic - not like the 'watered down' ones you get in some places - really had a kick! And the food was great - everyone enjoyed their meals and the portions were good value for this London location. The whole theatre of telling the waiter that we're there to see the Mayor and being led through the secret entrance was brilliant and the quirky decor is great. Will definitely return on a future visit to London. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 25 Mar 2017

Was a lovely bar, quiet and quirky. We had to wait for around 10 mins for someone to serve us, and the drinks took a fair while to make, we were there for an hour and a half and only just managed to have 2 drinks. I would go again, speed of service was a slight issue but I've made the most of it. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 19 Mar 2017

This was a great experience! I took a group of 10 people there after a surprise activity they had been doing that morning, and so it was the perfect way to end a day of adventures! Food, drinks and service were great and, well, no need to say any more about the location....shhh visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 25 Feb 2017

Being a "secret bar" is just a gimmick.... but still one I enjoyed experiencing once! Quite small so need to get there early and personally I found the cocktails quite bitter!

Service was great. Cocktails have changed it seems and some not to my taste. However the cocktail that was not available from the menu, the bartender recommended a similar one. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 28 Feb 2017

im a black cab driver and often get asked about any hidden gems in London.... and this place will DEFINATLY get reccomemded. Only criticism is the staff kept using the fridge to access the upstairs bar. I get why you need this but kinda ruins the illusion of a SECRET entrance . Otherwise great experience & will be back visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 22 Feb 2017

Very impressed from start to end. The staff were very friendly and fun and the cocktails were delicious. The bar has a cosy feel which is great and although there's not much room between you and other guest it still works out well. Would visit again no doubt. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 19 Feb 2017

This was my second visit. I was really impressed the first time but it wasn't quite as good this time. The service was a little slow and the food was just warm not hot. We were so hungry we didn't say anything we just ate. Hopefully things will be back on track next time. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 11 Feb 2017

I was in London for the weekend and made a reservation for my last night there, planned my whole day around it and was very excited. When I arrived I was told that the place was closed due to scheduled plumbing repairs. I was really disappointed and felt a bit let down considering there was no attempt made to inform me of the closure even though I had provided both my phone number and email address when making the reservation. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 05 Feb 2017

There was a mix-up with our booking, meaning that there wasn't a table for us when we arrived. However, the staff could not have been more apologetic, helpful or accommodating and everything was sorted for us in twenty minutes. All the cocktails were delicious, as usual! visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 05 Feb 2017

Staff are very good and friendly. Everything is quite highly priced but there are limited numbers allowed at one time which is refreshing (and explains why the prices might be slightly higher than usual bars). Cocktails were unique and delicious. The food menu felt a bit uninspiring but we ordered the chilli beef nachoes and they were also very good, and also enough to feed two people, we felt. The atmosphere is cosy with a unique entrance and wallpaper in the toilets that will appease any 80s enthusiast. All in all, a quirky place to spend a night out in. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 19 Jan 2017

I was so worried that as a foreigner coming in alone after being cancelled on by a friend—she's okay, by the way—that the night would be completely wasted on me, but I'm so glad I came because The Mayor treated me to the most homey speakeasy experience I ever could have dreamt up. Thank you all for being so groovy and welcoming. I'm sorry I was incapable of properly counting tip, because you deserved good ones. If you're searching for a whimsical and tasty night out, you need go no further than Scaredy Cat Town. My love for The Mayor is endless. visited The Mayor Of Scaredy Cat Town on 18 Dec 2016
