Myself and a friend popped in to Merchant House, yesterday, at the end of an afternoon/evening of drams.We really wish we'd started there and could easily see ourselves spending a whole day there.The whisk(e)y bar is found downstairs and as you descend the stairs it opens up as a traditional and wonderfully atmospheric tavern.We were welcomed by Ritchie who put us at ease, straight away, and showed us around the bottles of whisk(e)y that Merchant had to offer.Is it the cheapest place? No. Drams range from £12.50-£20.Is it welcoming? Yes.Is there a fantastic relaxed atmosphere? Yes.Is there an audio book plying in the bathroom? Strangely, yes.This is somewhere that I would love to bring my whisky group and I will be back soon.Cheers all!

Very nice and classic speakeasy bar, which I love by the way. The staff were very helpful. There is no menu, but you can explain what type of cocktail you'd like. They have all the classics. And my re-election - try Old Fashioned which is coming with beer. Richard - the cocktail waiter is amazing and very helpful.

What a gem! We stumbled across this bar an ended up having an amazing couple of hours.There is no menu, so your cocktail choice comes from a personal consultation with the waiter or the barman. The results were impressive and we ended up having some pretty unique cocktails. Obviously you can have any of the classics too.The service was exemplary. Warm, professional, genuine.

Unusual place that you probably don't know exists. I found it during London Cocktail week. The waiter was quite keen to tell us all about the drinks which really helps

This is one of my favourite bars in London. It’s not in the most appealing locations nor is it easy to find but from the moment one steps it’s a different feeling altogether. The “no-standing”, “no-menu” approach stands out for me. The bar tenders and the waiters are very knowledgeable and make some mean cocktails which hits all the right notes. The atmosphere makes it a place you want to relax and spend a few hours. Highly recommend the place

Amazing atmosphere and great service. This place is hidden away near bank station and is a great little bar. The service is also stellar - the recommendations from the staff are spot on and they are ofcourse able to make anything you are after (For instance, I wanted a Clara bow and it was made perfectly).

My favourite cocktail bar in London, this is why...Pros:Hidden away from the main streets. The quality of service is exceptional and the staffs knows their stuff. If you enjoy good quality cocktails with no gimmicks and doesn't remind you of science class, this is the place for you.A nice classic ambience in the heart of St Paul, no drinks menu, yes no drinks menu, I usually ask the folks at the bar to make whatever, I just provide the base and they usually build on that.Merchant House is home to some 600 whiskies

Merchant House is an incredible bar! We did the Brig experience and I can’t recommend it enough. Our bartender was so knowledgeable and made the best cocktails. We will definitely be returning

I rated this a five for food, but am referencing the drinks, which were outstanding. Such a hidden gem, with an incredible array of spirits. Atmosphere was 50’s cool, great music. Highly recommend
