Had an amazing 40th Birthday party here! Kamila was a fantastic host and helped organise the party giving us clear options for Food and Drinks. They printed out some cool menus. On the night, people loved the vibe of the Back Lounge. The venue has facilities to plug in DJ equipment via XLR and has a fantastic sound system.

Only issue was CC ran out of some of the cocktails mid way through.

Fun venue, good service, good atmosphere.

Room appeared to be a bit smaller than what was initially advertised. Was told that our room could accommodate 40 people. Definitely did not seem like that was the case.

About Callooh Callay Shoreditch

Callooh Callay opened in November 2008. At the time, cocktail bars in Shoreditch were few and far between. A venue which delivers high quality drinks and service, but without any of the pretension that came along with those things in 2008. We wanted to do things a little differently with our design and with our menus, for which we have become pretty famous.

In the last 12 years we've been very lucky to have made drinks for, and served, hundreds of thousands of guests. We've been even luckier to win an award or 2 from our peers along the way. We were named Best International High Volume Cocktail Bar at Tales of the Cocktail 2016, Worlds Best Cocktail Menu in 2012 and have been named in Drinks International's World's 50 Best Bars in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016.
