DRINKS INCLUDED · COCKTAIL TOURS IN LONDON
Every trip has one big night in it. These 9 cocktail tours in London are the ones worth spending it on, priced per head and clear about what is included and what is not.
At Alcotraz London, you enter a prison-themed cocktail bar in an orange jumpsuit, smuggle in a base spirit, and watch inmates turn it into custom drinks. Actors play guards, inmates, and the Warden during a 1-hour-45-minute theatrical session. English only.
“Was a great experience. Never did a game like this before. Will recommend anyone to this game. It was really fun”
Visit Bombay Sapphire’s Laverstoke Mill near Winchester for a self-serve G&T, cinema introduction, botanical glasshouses, and a guided look at vapour infusion. Guides such as Luke, Naomi, Nick, and Helen have led tours here, though hosts vary. Allow about 90 minutes, plus time for the bar.
“Well worth a visit especially if you are a gin lover. Our tour was taken by Helen who had a fun personality and full of information. If there was a question she couldn't answer at the time she went to find out the answer and came back to us while we were enjoying our cocktails. Would definitely go again but in the summer maybe as it is in very beautiful surroundings.”
Spend about 2 hours 50 minutes at The Magicians Table in London, starting with drinks at Dieter’s Bar before a 110-minute close-up magic show. Expect audience participation, several magicians, craft cocktails, and an 18-plus setting. Mobile tickets and nearby public transport make arrival simple.
“I struggled trying to find out how it s done!”
At Bombay Sapphire Distillery, you will make a gin and tonic, tour the Still House, watch a short film, and mix three Bombay Sapphire cocktails with a Gin Expert. The three-hour visit suits adults who want practical cocktail skills as well as a look at how gin is made.
“Great experience would highly recommend the Bombay Sapphire Tour and Cocktail Masterclass - both our tour guide and cocktail class leader were excellent”
Enter Avora in a supplied jumpsuit, follow actors through a glowing new world, and drink three cocktails or mocktails during a 105-minute story about resistance, survival, and human destruction. Expect movie-style scenery, changing light, and a theatrical night out for adults.
“Sachant qu’il y a beaucoup d’étrangers, s’adapter avec d’autres langues”
Enter Cell Block Two-One-Two at Alcotraz London, where actors playing the Warden, Guards, and Inmate Cassidy run a prison speakeasy. Bring sealed alcohol, smuggle it inside, and receive four cocktails made to your taste. You can play along with secret missions or simply enjoy the show from your cell.
Follow Freddie Mercury’s London with guide Valery, visiting former homes, Queen’s recording studios, Kensington Market, the Royal Opera House, and the site of his final performance. This private, wheelchair-accessible walk lasts 2.5 hours and is offered in English, Russian, or Ukrainian.
“Even though it was rainy Valery made my day! I am an avid Queen fan and read quite a few books about them, however I still learned a lot and saw places connected to their history. I also had the Queen lottery where I won a little prise, which was a nice touch to the tour!:) Overall it was a magical experience and I can't wait to book other tours with Pigeon Tours!”
Spend time at London’s Chocolate Cocktail Club, said to be the UK’s only chocolate cocktail bar. Your ticket includes a Chocotini on arrival, with more than 20 chocolate cocktails, light bites, desserts, wine, beer, coffee, mocktails, and edible chocolate shots available to buy.
“El lugar está cool y los cócteles originales. Lo que me parece ridículo es que está actividad cuesta 13€ y si vas allí es más económico! Me sentí engañado.”
At Moonshine Saloon in London, you join the Sheriff, Clyde Cassidy, and Lady Ada for a 105-minute Wild West story. Wear a Stetson, play cards and dice, and receive three personalized cocktails or mocktails made with your own unopened bottle of alcohol.
A deck, a crawl, a long lunch or a door with a list.
