About This Pub
Ah, let me tell you about Cocktail Embassy – it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a good night in London. I've got to say, the cocktails are a standout; they're made with real care and innovation, and with happy hour deals that make them even more appealing, it's easy to see why folks rave about them. The staff are just lovely, always up for a chat and quick to make you feel welcome, which adds such a nice touch to the whole experience. The atmosphere is spot on too – think cosy corners with warm lighting, perfect for a midweek date or gathering with your lot, and it transforms into a buzzing nightclub on weekends for those who fancy dancing the night away. On the flip side, it does get packed at peak times, so you might want to book in advance to skip any queues, and if you're not local to Crystal Palace, it could take a bit of effort to get there. Overall, it's a gem that's worth the visit if you're after quality drinks and good company, but just keep those little niggles in mind for a smoother outing.
Pros and Cons
Pros

The cocktails are absolutely spot on – they're expertly crafted, full of flavour, and not watered down at all, making every sip a real treat.
-
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; they'll happily accommodate you even without a booking and provide top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
-
It's got a cosy, stylish atmosphere with a dark academia vibe, perfect for a relaxed date night during the week or celebrating with mates in a warm, ambient setting.
-
They offer brilliant happy hour deals, like 2 for 1 on cocktails from 5 to 8 pm every day, which makes it fantastic value for a fun evening out.
Cons
-
It can get quite busy on weekends when the nightclub side opens up, so you might need to plan ahead to avoid waiting around.
-
The location in Crystal Palace is a bit out of the way for those not in South London, which could mean a longer journey if you're coming from central areas.

Absolutely lovely staff. Went with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. The drinks were on point.Not watered down. You can actually taste alcohol unlike most bars ..Made to perfection.. You actually get a decent drink! It's a pity the names didn't stick with me 🤔🤔🤔I wonder why 😂but the gentleman and lady at the bar were such lovely staff and another on the floor. Excellent customer service clean and tidy premises ..Prices were great. Overall a very lovely evening. I'm happy to go back at this place. I love a good set of staff who can communicate with their customers..A** from me.
Went for Happy Hour 241 on all cocktails, which is a great deal as it's 5-8pm every day and for the whole menu of drinks. The selection is interesting and varied - something for all tastes.
We had the salted caramel espresso martini and it was absolutely delicious. Great waiting staff.
The music was slightly too loud for me and my pal to have a decent chat but then I may just be getting old ;-) So we only stayed for one then headed up to Hop Scotch for a quieter one.
Went for the first time this Sunday. We had no reservation but the staff happily accommodated. It was actually empty when were first got there but it picked up through the evening. We took advantage of happy hour and every cocktail we had was amazing. High quality and the staff were friendly (I worried about this when I saw the reviews prior). I’d definitely recommend this place for cute date spots in South London 😌

(Arthur and Morgan come in my mind)...thank you guys to look after me. I do appreciate the effort 👌.
