Swift Borough

What a great cocktail bar. From the moment you walk through the door the staff are so friendly. We sat at the bar and the guy (didn’t get his name) making the cocktails was so welcoming and upbeat, explaining everything to us. A great cocktail menu also which is so varied. Also has beer wine, champagne available for any non cocktail drinkers.

It was a wonderful experience!!!! The mixologist was an absolute expert, very savvy about the liquors offered in house and great knowledge of other cocktails not offered in the menu. Mesmerized with everything set on the table from the decor to the wonderful balsamic mixed nuts. A true spectacle for the cocktail lover. No doubt, will be back.

They do a nice Irish coffee, cream is super thick and it might be slightly on the sweet side overall but it is delicious. Service is really good.

Very nice cocktails, it is a small place. With ground floor and basement. We sat in the basement bar, the tables and seating arrangements are very crowded, we practically nearly sat on top of the couple next to us! Nice place if you like a busy vibe, not good if you prefer a more chilled and cosy atmosphere

This place came on recommendation from someone in the trade. We didn’t have a reservation but they found us a space at the bar, which was perfect. It’s dimly lit and very well decorated. Someone has clearly put a lot of effort into creating a slightly prohibition but slick atmosphere. Good job! We had a couple of cocktails off the menu plus some classics. The two cocktail bartenders were friendly, accommodating and produced some fabulous cocktails, visually appealing and tasty! We were also impressed with their large block of ice which they chisel away for the drinks. If I were to make one observation is that they didn’t use a fine strainer so the margarita had little shards of floating ice. I’m being fussy but it’s a pet hate. Otherwise fantastic place. Highly recommend! The Irish coffee looked very yummy but we didn’t try.

Delicious and ingenious cocktails upstairs at Swift! Fantastic, helpful and knowledgeable barmen. Very reasonable prices too! Recommend booking online.

The place is very cozy and would be a perfect place to hangout over cocktails. They have a good selection of various cocktail and they were also able to make a cocktail which was not on the books. The staff was very professional and even with a very small number of floor staff, they did a great job taking care of us in a very busy environment. The place also had a selection of non alcoholic cocktails which is great though the non alcoholic cocktail did taste quite monotone in flavours so would be good to see more complexity in flavours. Overall good venue.

Ushered to the downstairs bar, we ordered two off menu but classic cocktails. Both quite boozy but neither correctly made. An espresso martini with no coffee taste (and chunks of ice), a dirty martini that was sweet. It's a shame, the bar gives off an upmarket vibe with an atmosphere to match. The quality of the service and actual cocktails don't adhere. There's plenty of cocktail bars in London with not only a unique cocktail list but also the ability to construct a classic cocktail of the highest standard, this isn't one of them, go elsewhere.
