The Shrub and Shutter

This place is really good. Independent retailer with unique wines, cocktails and food! Sharing plates. We doubled dated. Really cool atmosphere and restaurant. We met the owner Alfie, said he’s Spanish but he sounds like a cockney!!

Booked the whole venue for a private function! celebrated my birthday here and was a great venue for my intimate celebrations. Had around 45-50 people for cocktails and drinks. There’s two rooms, the bar up front where everyone walks in, then the back room where we spent most of the night with the DJ. Claudia was great in answering any questions I had beforehand, helped us book the DJ, as well as agreeing to add shots to the menu. The cocktails/ drinks were delicious and you could tell the team put a lot of effort in. Alfie and the team were great on the night and had quick service throughout! Really happy with the whole thing and would recommend for a private event.

Understated cocktail bar which has a huge space at the back for more tables and people. It's a really welcoming venue with lots of little touches like pictures, drinks and bottles. The cocktail bar is right in front of you and looks like a workshop! Good value for cocktails at £10 ish each. Great for dates or catching up in general. Does do food and also wine but we didn't indulge.

It is a lovely venue but fell below expectations regarding their service. We waited a good while till we got served and regularly had to call the waiter for attention. Food was nice, but one of our dishes were forgotten about. It's a lovely venue but fell below expectations. We shouldn't have to chase down the waiters when were spending £45pp.

The most amazingly run little gem in London. Such a cool vibe with great music. The front of house are welcoming, kind and considerate. The cocktails on offer are unique and DELICIOUS. Thank you so much!! We will be back

Cute little cocktail bar with great food and nice staff. Really nice vibe for a date spot, great selection of cocktails. We had a few of the small plates as well and they were very tasty!

I used to come here for years where it was a friendly and welcoming space. Came back and was treated poorly, none of the original spark and was insulted by the waitress for a simple question regarding opening times. No more inventive cocktails. Times have changed. A shame to an institution

Great cocktails, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a buzzing atmosphere. Most cocktails are around £10, and there's an amazing small plates menu. The cocktail menu is totally weird and wonderful, but the bar tenders will gladly make you classics if you fancy something more standard. Worth booking a table, as it's often very busy.

A lowkey spot that has the vibe I love. Jerk chicken tacos were amazing and the bartender put alot of passion into the cocktails and they were all great

We did not try the food but the menu had great sharing options (with vegetarian and vegan). The cocktails are amazing, the Spotify menu is hilarious. Staff is super cool, had a first date there and they were all super supportive hahaha, would love to go back!

Best cocktails South of the river. All the drinks have excellent names and fun (and sometimes delicious) garnishes. Such potential garnishes could include jelly Lego men, snake, smoked duck, wolf shaped rind and fire. Amazing. Very delicious food offering too. Their menu changes regularly and they offer a range of bar snacks or a 2 or 3 course menu. It's small but you can't really go wrong. Vegos are very much considered. At the time of my visit, there were things such as steak tartare, miso eggplant, and the most amazing panisse (chickpea chip). They also offer some pretty awesome cheese. Delicious fresh and wholesomely GREAT! Wine list is also worth a look. Highly recommended is the Riesling. On top of all of this the staff rock and the music is always really good. Sit in the front for a slightly louder, rowdier night, or out the back for something a little more calm. And grab two stools if you're on a date...

Cocktails are delicious but very expensive. Food is actually rather disappointing, flavours are not exciting and menu isn't varied. Overpriced overall. The place itself is quite nice and staff are friendly, although discretionary service charge is included in your bill rather than asking you when paying if you'd like to tip.

amazing cocktails!! not tried the food yet but cant wait to. In a secluded spot so hopefully we stay as quiet as it was when we went, great place to start a boozy night or have a quiet date

Excellent food and drinks. The pork karaage was incredible. The wait staff was great. Can't recommend more highly.

Unique and cool atmosphere. amazing cocktails and food. the menu changes weekly which is refreshing. Highly recommend!
