Mr Fogg’s Murder Mystery Immersive Cocktail Experience: Review

If you’re a fan of London cocktail bars you’ve undoubtedly heard of Mr Fogg’s, a chain of unusual cocktail bars across London themed around the famous book written by Jules Verne, and boasting Victorian inspired settings with eclectic props and the most unusual cocktails.

Recently, Mr Fogg’s launched a brand-new immersive cocktail experience at the Mr Fogg’s’ Residence Mayfair location.

We began by being seated with our group at a table and was given a menu which featured a selection of cocktails to choose from.

With the price of your ticket you can get two cocktails from the menu, but you can also order more if you still fancy something extra.

We got stuck in with our first set of cocktails, including An Ornamental Rose which contained Rose Gin, and Lust in the Sheets with Watermelon infused Bacardi, which were incredible.

This place definitely has some of the best themed cocktails in London that I’ve tried and these ones were no exception.

During the two-hour experience, you and your team will receive the case files on the mystery, featuring four characters from an affluent banker, a secretary and a wealthy gentleman, who will tell you of the happenings on the night of the murder, and you as the detectives will need to ask questions to find out who the killer’s identity is.

After much deliberation, guests are finally invited to deliver their verdicts, and I will say many in the room came to the same, and correct, conclusion – including me.

I won’t spoil the surprise, but the challenge was fun and entertaining, and it's also a great social event perfect for parties and special occasions.
