“ Went for the bottomless brunch, Through the decades, and it was amazing. Great atmosphere, super service and staff were all so friendly and involved. Only caught the name of one of them working there, Barbara, but she was brilliant getting everyone up singing and dancing. Such a vibe! 10/10 would recommend and go again! ”
“ I had my phone stolen outside on the table. Escapologist were really helpful. They went over the CCTV and pinpointed the moment. I remember the chancer holding up a sign saying how hungry they were etc etc but they used that to take my phone - i didn't notice until much later - my bad for having my phone out on display! lesson learnt, if you are not inside people are looking for a chance - hide your phones and other valuables! On a better note the venue is a great place to chill and have a drink with a friend (as was I doing) and just relax - too relaxed in my case! The staff are great and efficient , just what you need and want and really what makes it a good venue. Inside you can spend all day and not know the time - a real speak easy to while away the time. Good vibes. ”

“ I went to Escapologist during happy hour, and it was such a cute experience! The place is super aesthetic and classy. The cocktails were cheap thanks to happy hour, though you have to get the drinks yourself. The lively street outside adds to the charm! ”
