Briefly

"Your fave London cocktail bar for when you want a guaranteed great drink?Scales - the aroma of the bar alone steals my heart. Dim lighting, seductive and of course great energy and cocktails!"
"Your go-to cocktail order? A bottle of champagne (preferably to share) followed by some sort of ice cold Martini - gin, dry, with a twist! I'm over dirty! Along with a large bottle of ice cold sparkling water & lemon"
"What's In? Absolutely anything that tickles your fancy, cold brew, ingredients used multiple times, anything freezer batched.What's Out? Service WITHOUT a smile, cocktail glasses that haven't been pre chilled and SHIT ICE! Bar snacks, queuing, being a dick to staff."
Scales is the favourite London cocktail bar for a guaranteed great drink, notable for its captivating aroma, dim seductive lighting, lively energy and high-quality cocktails. Preferred ordering starts with a bottle of champagne to share, followed by an ice-cold dry gin Martini with a twist, served alongside a large bottle of ice-cold sparkling water and lemon. The most anticipated 2026 opening is Burro Burro, recommended for fans of Trullo. Trends welcomed include anything inventive that excites, cold brew, ingredients reused across drinks, and freezer batching. Unwelcome elements include service without a smile, unchilled glasses, poor ice, bar snacks, queues, and rudeness to staff.
