The Cocktail Trading Company

Monty quickly accommodated a group of 14 of us without breaking a sweat. She was personable and her service was amazing.

Loved the vibe, the friendly service, the quirky twist on classic cocktails and presentation. Their dark stormy was too good!!

Not only are the drinks great and incredible value, the staff are also brilliant, attentive and passionate about what they do. Loved it. Can’t wait to come again

I love this bar so much, it is my favourite bar in London and I’ve been to many in the decades I’ve lived here! Everything about it is perfect the staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. They are so welcoming, always take the time to get to know each customer and never make you feel rushed and happy to answer any question you might have about the drinks. Some bars I’ve been to in the past have felt unapproachable or intimidating, this bar is the opposite of that and you are genuinely greeted like an old friend each time. The drinks are also spectacular. They are all priced the same which I really like as you can decide purely based on what sounds nice and not factor the price in (which also at £12 a drink, is very reasonable for central London). They change menus regularly and tend to have about 10 15 drinks at a time, one per page in the cocktail menu. Each drink will be a clever concoction, unique to the bar, and feels like a labour of love. When I went in Jan, having not visited in a couple of years, I had a smoked salmon flavoured cocktail it sounds crazy but it completely worked! The drinks are a fun mix of tasty and clever, the descriptions in the menu are good fun and the bar menu has a wonderful sense of humour to it. The place is fairly small and feels homely and personable. This also helps the bar staff be able to get round everyone quickly and you’ll never be waiting long for a drink or a water top up. There is a nice selection of tables and stools and it is comfortable and welcoming. I really can’t recommend this place enough, I go to cocktail bars a lot and have lived in London for several decades and probably visited hundreds in that time and there is a reason this place is my absolute favourite. The drinks are exceptional but it is the friendly warm vibe that means it will always be my number one.

These cocktails gave me a new experience for cocktail drinking! They have really orginal cocktails and serve it really nice. Also the employees are different then any other place. The employees are really friendly and have a really good vibe. The cocktails are really tasteful. Thankyou for having us!
