We hired the Secret Bar at the Looking Glass Cocktail Club bar for a joint 30th birthday and had an amazing night. The bar was accommodating with our minimum spend which we easily met and went over anyway and our guests all loved the venue. The bar has a recommended DJ but were happy for us to use our own DJ. They also let us decorate the bar and not many other venues we looked at allowed hire until 3am! Our guests loved the mirror door entry, and it was nice to be entirely separate from the living room bar, with our own toilets, cloakroom and bar. Pre-ordered drinks were served around on trays rather than just at the bar which was a nice touch and saved queuing at the bar. Thanks for an awesome evening!

Only one minor thing - our birthday cakes weren’t cut and served as requested which meant our guests did not get to have any cake before they left. Minor in the grand scheme of things as we had a fab night.

Absolutely loved my 49 3/4 unbirthday at looking glass! Loved my specially named cocktails, the food was fabulous and staff were wonderful! Booking from Hong king I had no idea about what the venue looked like - so was entranced by the actual giant looking glass to enter the venue! The recommendation for the Dj was fantastic! Thanks to the whole team!!

There is absolutely nothing I can say! You rocked!!


Looking Glass Cocktail Club is the perfect place for discerning drinkers and those looking to let their hair down in the heart of Shoreditch.

Looking Glass Cocktail Club boasts two bars, one in Le Boudoir; and our seductive secret space Room Through The Looking Glass. Le Boudoir is a cosy cocktail lounge that welcomes you in off the bustling Hackney Road. Very much an intimate lounge bar through the week, it becomes a hive of energy and vibes with live DJ’s ‘til late on the weekend.

Or will you enter our hidden secret bar, a dimly lit den of decadence and debauchery - which evolves into a place to dance, party, and mingle whilst you enjoy cocktails from our signature cocktail menu.
