KwāNt 2.0 (London, UK)

Overall the cocktails I’ve tried were below my expectations, especially given the price. They only have 3 signature cocktails and two of them were just small twists on well known classics and not something inventive that I would have liked to see. The cherry miracles was a well made cocktail that tasted very nicely but I couldn’t see much difference from the basic mixture of amaretto and cherry and I didn’t understand what made this cocktail their signature. The See under the Sea cocktail was a martini twist - dry and I couldn’t find anything that would made it special too. This cocktail was definitely not my style. On the flip side, the menu featured some high and and rare spirits and champagne. The staff were attentive. The interior was a mixture - I didn’t quite like the atmosphere of the majority of the place but the bar area was really nice, although we were seated away from the bar. If going there, I would definitely recommend seating at the bar. In general, it would be a 4-star place to me based on the lack of inventiveness and it probably goes to 3 stars based on much higher prices than the other bars in this category. Unfortunately, I am not eager to go back

My partner and I visited this bar last night for the Omakase cocktail experience and we had an amazing time. The drinks were incredible, as were the small bites. What stood out most though was the exceptional service. I would highly recommend.

Excellent service from start to finish, was consistent with different members of staff. tried 3 drinks all high quailty, well thought out and delicious. Will definitely br bsck especially since station entrance is few metres away.

I only had a few hours before my outbound flight and decided to spend them here and give it a go following a friend’s recommendation. I’m so glad I did! Alfie crafted the most amazing cocktails (great conversation as well) and the overall mood was lively, yet not excessively loud. All of the cocktails were delicious and the prices, although on the higher end, were quite reasonable if you factor in the amount of effort required for all of them. They use some innovative techniques which involve sous vide and infusions with unusual elements, so most of the cocktails you’ll drink here will be unique. Excellent Bloody Mary as well. Cheers to Alfie for this unforgettable night, and I’ll definitely be coming back on my next London visit.

Great cocktails, warm service and a genuinely lovely team. If you enjoy a good mezcal, go for the Vegetal cocktail, beautifully balanced and full of character. The fries were good, tacos, unfortunately, were the weak point of the evening and didn’t quite match the level of the price. Would come back just for the cocktails x
