Waltz

Stumbled upon Waltz London during my trip and it was such a gem! The cocktails were beautifully crafted, full of flavour and served with style. The atmosphere had that perfect balance of cosy and chic, great for a night out with friends or a date. Staff were friendly, attentive and made you feel right at home. Do note there’s a 2-hour seating time, but honestly, it’s more than enough to enjoy a couple of drinks and soak in the vibe. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great cocktail spot in London!

The quality and design of the cocktails at the main bar is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the savoury choices such as one pictured with Olive oil. The waiting area menu is a clever idea however as these cocktails are largely fizz but priced nearly the same as the main bar they are less attractive. The boutique sakes however are excellent and serve as a more authentic aperitif to the main event. Would be even better if they added some unique shochu options to this menu. The atmosphere, decor, music and service are also all top notch and make this a very pleasant and relaxing place to spend time either alone or with a partner. It's not suitable for groups.

Waltz Bar in London is a vibe that hits all the right notes! The drinks? Absolutely stunning—each cocktail is a masterpiece, bursting with bold flavors and crafted with serious flair. The intimate, moody ambiance sets the perfect backdrop for a night out, while the staff’s warmth makes you feel instantly at home. Whether you’re sipping a creative concoction or a classic done just right, every pour is pure magic. A must-visit gem for anyone craving a top-tier bar experience in the heart of the city!

Waltz knocked it out of the park—my new go-to for great cocktails! The Manhattan was the BEST I’ve ever had, and the Last Word + Gibson were just as amazing. The Gibson’s house-pickled pickle was a perfect match, so tangy and crisp. Cozy vibe, plus the glassware is stunning. If you love well-made drinks, don’t miss this spot. Will 100% return!

Had a really lovely experience here. The drinks were well made, and the Matcha Old Fashioned stood out, surprisingly smooth and easy to drink. The setup of the bar made it easy to talk with the staff while they prepared everything, which was a nice touch. I’d go back and would recommend it to others looking for a relaxed spot with quality cocktails.

Masterful and elegant interpretations of classic cocktails with attention to seasonality and craftsmanship. It’s a warm and stylish space that one can disappear into for a couple hours and be taken care of by the excellent team. The menu also goes the extra mile by including some thoughtful sake selections and non alcoholic drinks, like a homemade cola and kombucha. If it gets busy, there’s also a complete separate standing room menu to warm things up before a seat opens up. It will be quite impossible not to return and try the rest of the menu!

It’s a super cozy bar with calm atmosphere, amazing glassware and great staff members. We had to wait to be seated for about 45 minutes on a Friday night. They have some standing place to wait. While you are waiting you can order drinks from the restricted menu which is much less interesting than the actual full menu in my opinion. Wakayama cocktail was my highlight of the evening and it’s featured in both the waiting menu and the main one. It had a seeing ripe banana flavour, had fairly sweet and tasty, 5/5. Green Bull cocktail is only featured in the standing menu and was too bitter to my taste, 3/5. On the main menu, Raspberry cocktail was pretty good and has a great aroma. On the palate it was quite too subtle to me and had no deep flavours that would be opening up or competing with the faded raspberry taste, 4/5. The Peach cocktail was a nice sweet mixture of peach, carrot taste and some fragrance/flower flavour. Interesting overall but not the exact match of my taste, 4/5. Matcha old fashioned was pretty good! The cocktail had a lot of alcohol (upper bound of what I can tolerate in a cocktail) yet it was a smooth drink. Matcha flavour was mainly in aftertaste, 4.5/5. The Blue’n green cocktail tasted pretty alcoholic. It was dominated by tequila flavour and did not have much flavours opening up to me, 4/5. They also have a nice selection of sake. The staff were really nice, welcoming and stroke a great balance of communication with us and giving us space to talk. They made us feel very welcome. Overall the cocktails were unique and tasted really well although were not exceptional The prices were on the high end but one can understand why

Really enjoyed my time at Waltz. Tried their signature Matcha Old Fashioned — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The matcha is whisked fresh at the bar, which adds a nice touch to the experience. The bar was busy but still had a relaxed, intimate vibe with great music and attentive staff. Small and cozy spot, so arriving early is a good idea. If you’re into thoughtful, Japanese-inspired cocktails in a cool atmosphere, Waltz is definitely worth checking out.
