• Cocktail Bar • King's Cross

Did someone say cocktails? Inspired by 1800’s quack-physician, Dr James Morison, who believed in a universal vegetable cure for all ailments based on botanical compounds. At Hokus Pokus, the botanical ‘remedies’ are distilled, and served on the rocks instead. Although they are not claiming any health benefits, the team at the Alchemy Lab are confident the tinctures can still do wonders for your mood.Hokus Pokus is an ode to the location and heritage behind Kings Cross featuring a fascinating blend of 19th century apothecary and retro-futuristic steampunk engine room. The ceiling ripples with electric dynamos, steam valves, copper pipes and circuits forming the backdrop to a complex stage lighting scenography often seen in theatres, for perfect mood lighting.Please note: We currently do not accept OpenTable dining cheques.

Two of us went for a pre theatre dinner . The staff were the outstanding feature I have to say , incredibly attentive and helpful they made us feel very welcome. The food was great too - as were the cocktails. Like another diner commented previously the tables are far too small for a restaurant setting . We were lucky we had two empty small tables next to us which we used .😇 Will go back for sure .
