London: The Chocolate Cocktail Club

Chocolate and cocktails in one place, seriously.

That combo is the hook here, and the place leans hard into it with the UKs only Chocolate Cocktail Bar vibe. You go for the sweet drinks, but you stay for the playful mood and the fact that the menu also includes proper cocktail options, wine, beer, and mocktails.

I love that your ticket starts with a Chocotini Cocktail on arrival, so you are not waiting around to get your first sip. I also like the range, from mint and salt caramel flavors to a new Toblerone twist, plus light bites, desserts, and edible chocolate shots.

One heads-up: the session is over 18 only, and since this is a set-ticket experience, you may have limited choice on what your first included drink is. If you are picky about flavors, come ready with your preferences for what you order after that.

Key things to know before you go

• A ticket includes a Chocotini on arrival, so you start drinking right away.
• Over 20 chocolate cocktails cover both classic cocktail styles and dessert-level flavors.
• The bar is adult-only, so bring ID and skip it if you are traveling with teens.
• Non-chocolate drinkers are covered with beer, wine, prosecco, hot chocolate, coffee, and mocktails.
• Small group size, limited to 10, makes it feel social without being a cattle-call.
• No Saturdays, so plan around the listed days and times.

The Chocolate Cocktail Club is a dessert-lovers’ bar with real drink energy

I did not expect a chocolate bar to feel like a proper cocktail stop, but that is exactly what makes the Chocolate Cocktail Club worth your attention. This is not just syrup-and-ice-cream theater. It is a place built around cocktails that actually sound drink-like, even when they taste like candy.

At a glance, the pitch is simple: London’s sweetest bar to sip cocktails. Under that, you get a menu designed for different moods. Some flavors go classic and clean. Others go full dessert mode. Either way, you are in a bar setting, not a tasting room with strict rules and tiny sips.

And yes, the chocolate factor is strong. Still, the venue also has a fallback plan if you do not want to drown your evening in caramel.

Pricing and value: what $14 buys you, and what to budget for

The price is listed as $14 per person, and the big value point is that each ticket includes one Chocotini Cocktail on arrival. That matters because it removes the most common bar-buyer’s worry: you show up hungry, thirsty, and unsure, and then you have to pay right away for your first drink.

What is not included is additional drinks. That is where your evening can either stay manageable or quietly creep upward. One person felt the activity was poor value compared with prices once they were inside, so it is smart to treat the included drink as your baseline and decide your budget before you start ordering extras.

If you want a value-focused night, here is the practical approach:

• Plan to enjoy your included Chocotini and then pick one or two add-on drinks.
• If you are hungry, lean into the light bites and desserts instead of stacking more alcohol.
• If you are on the fence about cost, order water alongside your cocktail so you can keep control without feeling rushed.

Bottom line: the ticket is the entry price for a chocolate-cocktail experience, not a whole bar tab.

How your session likely flows once you arrive

This is a one-day experience with a small group limited to 10 participants, and you meet at the Chocolate Cocktail Club. The structure feels simple, which is good. You do not have to track a museum schedule or remember three different handoff points.

When you arrive, you get your included Chocotini cocktail. From there, the fun becomes menu browsing. The venue sets you up with that first drink, then you decide how sweet you want to go.

Expect a social pacing. People typically:

• Start with the included Chocotini, then compare notes.
• Scan the menu for chocolate cocktails they recognize or want to try, like mint, salt caramel, and the Toblerone option.
• Add food if the cocktails hit a little too rich, since light bites and desserts are available.
• Jump to the chocolate shots if the edible element sounds like your kind of chaos.

There is no mention of assigned staff-led segments or a strict tasting order, so it behaves more like a curated bar visit than a timed workshop. That flexibility is a plus.

The chocolate cocktail menu: mint, salt caramel, Toblerone, and more

The menu is built around the idea of variety inside the chocolate category. You are not stuck with one flavor. You have multiple directions:

• Mint-style chocolates, for something brighter and less sticky.
• Salt caramel flavors, for that sweet-salty pull that works well in cocktails.
• Toblerone, which is a fun brand-name shortcut to a recognizable taste.

And then you have the real bonus, there are over 20 chocolate cocktails to choose from. That is enough to keep a group happy even if tastes differ. One friend might want a candy-bitter profile. Another might want creamy and cozy. You should both find something.

One thing to consider, based on a couple of experiences: you may not get to pick the first included cocktail. If you are the type who needs your first drink to be perfect, it is worth thinking of the included Chocotini as the opener, then treat your actual customization as what you order after.

Don’t skip the edible chocolate shots and dessert side

This is where the experience turns from drink to full-on night out. Alongside the cocktails, the bar offers light bites and desserts. So if you end up with something extra indulgent, you can balance it instead of powering through on an empty stomach.

Also, the venue lists edible chocolate shots. That is a distinctive feature, and it is the kind of thing you will talk about on the walk back. Not everyone will love it, but it is exactly the sort of playful, on-theme add-on that makes this feel like more than just ordering a dessert drink.

If you like structured tasting experiences, this still works, just with less formality. If you like spontaneous bar fun, it fits even better.

If chocolate is not your whole personality, you still have options

Not everyone in your group wants to drink chocolate all night. Good news. The bar does not force the issue.

Along with the chocolate cocktails, you can choose:

• Traditional cocktails
• Wine and beer
• Prosecco
• Hot chocolate and coffee
• Mocktails
• Bottled beer

So if someone in your group is more of a vodka-soda or a wine person, they will not feel stuck. And if you want the vibe without the alcohol, mocktails and non-alcoholic hot drinks are part of the setup.

That mix is one reason the experience works for groups. It keeps the night from becoming a one-note sugar marathon.

Dates and timing: plan for weekday sessions

This is not a weekend-only stop. It is not available on Saturdays, and the listed windows are:

• Tuesday, 1.30pm to 5.30pm
• Wednesday, 4.30pm to 10pm
• Thursday, 4.30pm to 10pm
• Friday, 1.30pm to 10pm

Practically, that means:

• If you want an early sweet drink slot, Tuesday and Friday afternoons are your friend.
• If you want a proper evening hang, Wednesday and Thursday evenings work best.
• If you are traveling over a Saturday, you will need another plan, since this one is closed for that day.

Also, you are meeting at the venue itself with no hotel pickup or drop-off mentioned. That is straightforward, but it means you should plan to get yourself there and back on your own.

Small group energy: why the limit of 10 is actually a plus

A maximum of 10 participants keeps the experience comfortable. You are not trying to place drink orders while half the room is shouting over each other. It also tends to mean the space feels more like a shared hangout than a big group activity.

One review praised the friendly staff and the overall vibe, and that matches what small-group settings usually feel like when the place is built for chatting and sipping.

If you are traveling solo, the small group can still be a good fit because you are in a shared, topic-friendly environment. Chocolate cocktails are an easy conversation starter.

Who this experience is best for

This is a strong fit if you:

• Love dessert flavors and want to try chocolate cocktails beyond the usual hot chocolate.
• Like trying something playful and very London in spirit.
• Want a group activity that still feels easy and casual.

It is also a good choice for adult celebrations. The venue welcomes birthdays, hen do’s, and anniversaries.

It is less ideal if you:

• Need a child-friendly activity. This is an over 18s venue, and children under 18 are not suitable.
• Are very sensitive to alcohol-sweet drinks and want strictly savory, low-sugar profiles.
• Care deeply about choosing your exact first included cocktail. Some people found that frustrating, so be prepared.

Practical details that prevent awkward moments

Before you go, keep the basics tight.

You will need passport or ID card. Pets are not allowed, though assistance dogs are allowed.

You should also expect this is an adult-only atmosphere, so dress like you are going to a bar. Not fancy-club formal, but also not pajama-core.

If you are traveling with friends, it helps to agree ahead of time who is most likely to order food or additional drinks. That way, nobody feels blindsided by the add-on costs once the included Chocotini is gone.

Should you book the Chocolate Cocktail Club?

I think you should book if you want a fun, grown-up, highly themed bar night where the chocolate is intentional and the drinks go beyond gimmick. The best part for value is simple: your ticket includes a Chocotini on arrival, and the menu has enough variety to keep a mixed group happy.

I would skip it if you are worried about getting locked into the first drink choice, or if you cannot handle sweet cocktails at all. And if your trip lands on a Saturday, you will have to adjust because it is not available that day.

If your plan is a weekday evening, you love chocolate flavors, and you want something easy with a small-group feel, this is a surprisingly solid London bet.
