The setting was perfect, lighting was great, our guests loved the food (even if we didnt eat anything at all!), drinks were perfect (goes without saying) and soundsystem was impeccable. A special thanks to Alfie for being with us all night, helping with everything and making sure all went perfect and smooth.

Had a fantastic night, celebrating my birthday. Massive thank you to Tamara & William for turning everything around so quickly (after being let down by another venue at the last minute!)....Turned out to be an advantage for me, having my own late night, secret bar with amazing staff. Will definitely come back again to have a shot or 2 with Olesia (fab girl).
;-) Should stay open till 4am (guests did not want to leave)!

Birthday Party · 100 guests
A new year’s eve birthday has a lot of components and potential for stress but Will, Tamara and the team were amazing. Very helpful over the Christmas period, very generous and very focussed on me and my guests having a great night - which we did!
Only downside was an event scheduled right before my party! Would have been ace to have half an hour before guests arrive but that’s the nature of NYE. Very booked!

50th Birthday Party · 130 guests
The venue are very helpful getting everything sorted in advance of the night, and the club has a cool underground vibe. The bar staff are good and friendly, as are the security. Everyone really had a great time
It gets a bit hot, so maybe ask them to turn up the a/c.!!

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.
