London: The Chocolate Cocktail Club
Chocolate and cocktails make an easy team. London’s Chocolate Cocktail Club turns that pairing into an adults-only bar visit with more than 20 chocolate cocktails, from mint and salt caramel to a Toblerone creation. You receive a Chocotini on arrival, then choose from chocolate drinks, standard cocktails, wine, beer, and sweet bites.
I like the original cocktail menu and the warm, party-friendly setup for birthdays, hen parties, and anniversaries. I also like that non-chocolate drinkers are not left staring sadly at a cocoa glass. The main catch is simple: you do not choose the included first cocktail, and one recent customer felt the online price was higher than buying at the bar.
Quick points to know

- Your first drink is a Chocotini: Every ticket includes one chocolate cocktail on arrival, but the first drink is selected for you.
- More than 20 chocolate cocktails: Flavors include mint, salt caramel, and Toblerone, with many other chocolate-based combinations.
- A proper bar, not only a chocolate stop: You can also order traditional cocktails, bottled beer, wine, prosecco, coffee, hot chocolate, mocktails, and more.
- Small groups keep it manageable: Attendance is limited to 10 participants, useful for a relaxed celebration or a compact group outing.
- The opening hours favor afternoons and evenings: Tuesday and Friday offer afternoon slots, while Wednesday and Thursday run from late afternoon into the evening.
- Adults only: You must be at least 18, and you should bring a passport or identity card.
What happens when you arrive at the Chocolate Cocktail Club
Your ticket begins at the Chocolate Cocktail Club itself. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off, so you need to make your own way to the venue and allow enough time to find the bar before your booked start time.
The included drink is a Chocotini. This gives the visit an immediate chocolate focus rather than making you wait through a long introduction or formal tasting. I like that arrangement because the first sip sets the tone quickly. If you are hoping to pick your favorite flavor from the full menu right away, though, keep your expectations in check. Two customers specifically disliked being unable to choose the first cocktail, even though they felt the replacement drink had a similar value.
After the arrival drink, you can order from the wider menu. The exact sequence is not presented as a guided tasting, so you should think of this as a bar visit with a chocolate theme, not a structured lesson in mixology. That makes it flexible. You can settle into one or two carefully chosen drinks, or treat the menu as a chance to try playful combinations with friends.

The chocolate cocktail menu, from mint to Toblerone

The main reason to book is the breadth of the chocolate drinks. You get more than 20 options, including mint, salt caramel, and a newer Toblerone-flavored cocktail. That range matters because chocolate cocktails can quickly become heavy or sweet. Mint gives you a fresher direction, while salt caramel leans into dessert territory. The Toblerone option is the obvious choice if you like nutty, chocolate-bar flavors.
I would not assume every drink tastes alike. The menu is designed around different chocolate combinations, so you can compare flavors rather than simply order the same creamy drink repeatedly. If you are visiting with friends, sharing impressions and choosing different styles gives the menu more value.
The included Chocotini is a good introduction, but the reviews make one point clear: selection matters to some people. If you already know you want mint, salt caramel, or Toblerone, ask what is available before ordering extra drinks. The supplied information does not promise that every cocktail is available at every moment, so it is sensible to check the current menu at the bar.
The strongest praise goes to the cocktails themselves. Chris gave the venue top marks for its drinks, staff, and overall visit, while Thamirys also singled out the cocktails as delicious. That is encouraging, but it does not mean this is the right place for someone who dislikes sweet drinks. Chocolate is the central idea here, and even the more balanced options are likely to keep that theme in view.
More than chocolate: beer, wine, mocktails, and coffee

The bar makes a smart concession to mixed groups. If one person in your party does not like chocolate, they can order bottled beer, wine, prosecco, hot chocolate, coffee, mocktails, or another available drink.
That broader menu is one of the experience’s best practical features. A chocolate-themed bar can feel restrictive when only one person wants cocoa-heavy drinks. Here, the group can stay together without forcing everyone into the same flavor profile. You can order a chocolate cocktail while a friend chooses prosecco or coffee.
The non-chocolate choices also make the visit more useful for celebrations. Birthdays, hen parties, and anniversaries are welcome, and a mixed drinks menu means nobody has to sit out because the theme does not suit them. Still, the chocolate cocktails are the point of the visit. If most of your group plans to order standard drinks, you may find the theme less important than the company.
Light bites, desserts, and edible chocolate shots

Drinks are not the whole story. The menu includes light bites and desserts, giving you a way to add food to the visit rather than treating it as a quick drink only.
The edible chocolate shots are particularly suited to groups. They extend the playful side of the venue and give you something small to try alongside the cocktails. I would treat them as an extra, not a substitute for a full meal. The available information does not describe the size or contents of the light bites, so you should not arrive expecting a substantial lunch or dinner.
The food choices make more sense for an afternoon visit, a pre-dinner stop, or a celebration where small sweet items are part of the fun. If you have a later meal planned, the light bites and shots can fill the gap without turning the bar stop into a major commitment.

The best times to visit

The available hours are worth studying before you book:
- Tuesday, 1:30pm to 5:30pm
- Wednesday, 4:30pm to 10pm
- Thursday, 4:30pm to 10pm
- Friday, 1:30pm to 10pm
- Saturday, not available
Friday gives you the widest choice, with afternoon and evening access. It suits a birthday outing, a hen party, or a pre-evening celebration. Tuesday is limited to the afternoon, so it works better for a daytime plan than for after-work drinks.
Wednesday and Thursday open from 4:30pm and continue until 10pm. Those times may fit a midweek evening plan, but you should check the specific starting time before paying because the activity is sold around available slots.
There is no Saturday availability. That is a real drawback for visitors planning a weekend celebration, especially if Saturday is the only day your group can meet. If you need a Friday or midweek visit, the schedule is much more helpful.
Small groups and the social feel

The group size is limited to 10 participants. That is small enough to avoid a crowded tasting format, and it should make it easier for your group to order and settle together.
I would not read too much into the word small, though. This is still a bar setting rather than a private room guaranteed for your party. The information confirms the participant limit but does not promise exclusive use of the venue or a private host. If privacy is important for your celebration, ask before booking.
The small capacity is a plus for anyone who prefers a manageable social setting. It also suits couples, close friends, and compact groups who want the menu to be the focus. A large hen party may need to check whether everyone can book the same slot.
The friendly staff earned specific praise from Chris, along with the venue and cocktails. That combination matters. A clever menu is not enough if ordering feels awkward, and a pleasant bar atmosphere helps the chocolate theme feel like a proper night out rather than a novelty stop.
Is the $14 price good value?
The listed price is $14 per person, and each ticket includes the arrival Chocotini. You then pay separately for additional drinks and any food, so the real cost depends on how long you stay and how much you order.
At the basic level, the price buys an entry drink and access to a themed bar with a large chocolate cocktail menu. That can be fair value if you want a distinctive drink-based activity rather than a long tour or full meal. It is less attractive if you plan to have only one drink and leave quickly.
One point needs careful attention. Sergio Martinez, who visited in October 2025, felt the online activity cost 13 euros and was cheaper when purchased at the venue. That is a direct warning to compare the current online price with the bar’s own price before booking. Prices can change, and the quoted amounts may not match today’s rate, but the concern is worth taking seriously.
The reserve-now, pay-later option gives you some flexibility, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the booking for a full refund. That helps if your London plans are still shifting. It does not solve the price comparison issue, so check the final amount and what the ticket includes before confirming.
Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend the Chocolate Cocktail Club to adults who enjoy sweet drinks, playful menus, and social occasions. It is especially well suited to:
- Couples looking for an unusual bar stop
- Small birthday or anniversary groups
- Hen parties with a chocolate theme
- Friends who want to compare several cocktail flavors
- Mixed groups where some people prefer beer, wine, coffee, or mocktails
I would be more cautious if you dislike dessert-style drinks, need a Saturday booking, or want a guided cocktail class with detailed demonstrations. Nothing in the supplied details promises a lesson, a full meal, or a private event space.
You should also remember the age rule. This is an over-18 venue, and children under 18 cannot join. Bring a passport or identity card, since identification is listed as something to have with you.
Practical advice before you book
Check the current start time and price first. The opening pattern changes by day, and the first cocktail cannot be selected in advance according to the customer feedback.
If your group includes a non-chocolate drinker, point them toward the wider menu rather than treating them as an afterthought. Beer, wine, prosecco, coffee, hot chocolate, mocktails, and other drinks are available, so the whole group can remain part of the outing.
Plan your food expectations carefully. Light bites, desserts, and edible chocolate shots are available, but the information does not describe a full dining menu. For a proper meal, make separate plans.
Finally, bring identification and leave pets at home. Assistance dogs are allowed, but other pets are not.
Should you book the Chocolate Cocktail Club?
Book it if you want a cheerful, adults-only London bar outing built around unusual chocolate cocktails. The 20-plus-drink menu, included Chocotini, friendly service, and options for non-chocolate drinkers give the visit more substance than a single novelty drink.
Skip it if you need Saturday availability, dislike sweet cocktails, or expect the ticket to include several drinks and a meal. Before you pay, compare the current direct price with the booking price and remember that the first cocktail is chosen for you. For a small celebration on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, it offers a simple way to add some cocoa-fueled fun to your London plans.
