London: The Chocolate Cocktail Club
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by ChocolateCocktailClub · Bookable on GetYourGuide
London has a sweet tooth. Chocolate cocktails, no apology. This one-day visit to the Chocolate Cocktail Club is a rare chance to drink desserts-style—without turning the night into a sugar-only gimmick. I like that it focuses on over 20 chocolate cocktails plus options if you want something less sweet. One thing to think about: your ticket includes a set first drink, so you can’t start by choosing the exact cocktail you want.
The best part is the arrival perk. Every ticket gets a Chocotini cocktail right when you walk in, which means you’re not stuck waiting while others enjoy their drinks. I also like the mix of tastes you’ll find—mint, salt caramel, and even the Toblerone twist—so it feels like a real menu, not just one novelty drink.
The main drawback is simple: if you’re not ready for chocolate right away, the initial pour can feel like a compromise. Even though there are non-chocolate drink options, you still start with that Chocotini included in the price.

London’s Only Chocolate Cocktail Bar: The Scene
The Chocolate Cocktail Club is exactly what it sounds like: a bar built around chocolate cocktails, in a city where you can find just about anything else. Instead of trying to tone the theme down, it leans in. The result is a place that feels fun and slightly mischievous, like you wandered into dessert mode but kept your adult drink choices.
The vibe works best if you go in with a mindset of playful tasting. You’re there to sample flavors you wouldn’t normally order at a regular cocktail bar. And because it’s designed as a bar experience (not a sit-down show), you get to pace yourself—switching from one sweet profile to another, or cutting it with other drinks when you want a break.
It also helps that the venue is explicitly built for adults: over 18s only. That matters because it keeps the room geared toward grown-up conversation rather than kid-friendly pacing. If you’re planning a birthday, hen do, or anniversary, the atmosphere is set up for that kind of celebration.

What You Actually Get: The Chocotini and the Chocolate Menu
Your ticket includes one key thing: a Chocotini cocktail on arrival. That’s a big deal for value, because it turns the entry price into something tangible right away. It also means the bar controls the first taste—helpful if you want guidance, annoying if you were hoping to pick your own opening cocktail.
After that first drink, the menu is where the fun happens. You’ll see over 20 chocolate cocktails, including flavors like mint and salt caramel. There’s also a Toblerone option listed as new, which gives you a recognizable reference point if you want something chocolate-forward but familiar.
The menu isn’t just drinks. If you’re feeling peckish, there are light bites and desserts listed as part of the experience. And yes, there are edible chocolate shots too—little moments that match the theme without needing a full dessert order. If you’re the type who likes to try a couple of small things rather than commit to one big plate, this setup suits you.
One practical tip: treat the menu like a set of flavor options, not a single decision. Start with something that matches your “safe” chocolate preference (like salt caramel if you like sweet-salty balance), then branch out. If you end up with a drink that’s too sweet, you can pivot quickly to something else on the broader menu.
Beyond Chocolate: Cocktails, Wine, Beer, Mocktails
Even if the name screams chocolate, the club isn’t only for chocolate die-hards. The bar offers traditional cocktails, wine, and beer. There are also choices like prosecco, hot chocolate, and coffee—so you can keep the evening moving even if your first sweet drink hits harder than expected.
If you’re with someone who isn’t into chocolate, this is where the experience becomes more flexible. You can still order bottled beer, wine, and prosecco, or go the mocktail route. That matters because a lot of themed places fall apart if one person doesn’t share the theme. Here, you have enough non-chocolate options to make the night work as a group plan.
That balance is also a smart pacing strategy for you. If you want chocolate flavors but don’t want a sugar overload, alternate. One chocolate cocktail, then a beer or prosecco, then maybe a dessert or chocolate shot. You’ll get variety without feeling like you’re drinking straight-up cocoa for hours.
Timing That Fits Your Day: Sessions and Planning
This is a one-day experience, but it runs in set time windows depending on the day you go. Tuesday is scheduled from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. Wednesday and Thursday run 4:30pm to 10pm. Friday offers 1:30pm to 10pm. Saturdays aren’t available.
Those time slots matter more than they sound. If you want a calmer start and early evening vibe, Tuesday or Friday afternoon is ideal. If you’re aiming for a longer, nighttime session with more of the bar atmosphere, Wednesday or Thursday evening gives you that window. Friday is the best of both worlds since it stretches from afternoon through late.
Because the experience is small-group (up to 10 people), the session you choose can shape the feel. A shorter mid-afternoon window tends to feel more like a social hang. The longer evening sessions can feel more like a full-on night out.
And you’ll want to plan around the fact that you need ID for entry and that it’s an over-18 venue. If you’re traveling light, make sure your passport or ID is actually in your day bag—don’t assume it’ll be in the hotel room.
Small Group, Over-18 Venue: How to Make It Fun
The club keeps things to a small group with a limit of 10 participants. That size is a plus if you like a more personal atmosphere. It’s also a practical point: it’s easier to get help, ask questions about the menu, and order without feeling lost in a crowd.
It’s also an over-18 venue, and that affects how you should plan your group. If you’re bringing a mixed group, double-check ages in advance. The venue is not suitable for children under 18, and pets aren’t allowed (assistance dogs are allowed). So build your plan around the rules, not around workarounds.
For celebratory plans, the bar welcomes birthdays, hen do’s, and anniversaries. That doesn’t mean you’ll get a formal ceremony included, but it does mean the vibe is built for that kind of group energy. If that’s you, go with a small circle and expect a sweet, social night rather than something overly structured.
Price and Value: Is $14 Fair?
The price listed is $14 per person, and the big value hook is that the ticket includes a Chocotini cocktail on arrival. For a themed cocktail bar, that included drink changes the math. You’re not just paying to enter; you’re paying to get one full cocktail immediately, then you can decide how far you go with additional drinks.
That said, a themed bar can feel pricey if you treat it like a quick snack stop and stop after the included drink. Additional drinks aren’t included, and the menu has a lot of options that can add up if everyone orders chocolate-heavy choices.
There’s another real-world consideration: since the Chocotini is provided on arrival, you’re not guaranteed you’ll start with the exact flavor you had in mind. If you’re very picky about sweet profiles, it may take you a drink or two to dial in what you actually love. On the flip side, the fact that the Chocotini is standard makes it easier to compare what you get there versus what you might order elsewhere.
So is it worth it? If you’re the type who likes trying a few drinks and you’ll order at least one more item (another cocktail, a shot, or a dessert), the value feels solid. If you mainly want one drink and you’re on a tight budget, you might feel the pinch after the included pour.
Who This Is For (and Who Should Skip It)
This experience fits best if you want a novelty that’s still grown-up. It’s great for couples, small friend groups, and anyone planning a fun celebration where the theme actually matters. If you like chocolate in drink form—mint, caramel, Toblerone-style flavors—you’ll probably have a good time right away.
It can also work for mixed groups because the menu goes beyond chocolate. You can order traditional cocktails, beer, wine, prosecco, hot drinks, or mocktails. So you’re not locked into one flavor lane.
Where I’d be cautious: if you truly don’t like chocolate or you prefer very dry, spirit-forward cocktails. You can still find non-chocolate options, but the experience is built around chocolate cocktails first. And since your ticket starts with the included Chocotini, you’re starting on the chocolate side.
Should You Book This Chocolate Cocktail Club?
Book it if you want a one-day plan that’s playful, adult, and easy to navigate. The included Chocotini is a clear start, the menu has enough variety to keep the night from feeling repetitive, and the small group setup makes it feel like you’re in the room, not queued outside it.
Skip it if you’re strictly budget-focused and you don’t plan to order anything beyond the included drink. Also skip it if you hate chocolate flavors so much that even the first drink would ruin your vibe. In that case, you’ll spend the night searching for non-chocolate choices, which defeats the main point.
If you do book, bring your passport or ID, plan for the over-18 rules, and pick a session that matches your energy—afternoon for a lighter vibe, evening for the full night feel. And if you like flexibility in planning, free cancellation up to 24 hours and a reserve now/pay later option make it easier to fit into a real trip calendar.
