Best place to enjoy some Whiskies! Unbelievable variation of Whiskies and two really nice guys behind of it. The evening there was the best possible end for my trip to London, and when I'm back at London I will visit BlackRock again for sure. Keep up the good work guys, I'm looking forward to meet you again!

Really love this place. Very good choice of whiskies, organised by the dominant flavour profile, quirky atmosphere, and a long table which doubles as Old Fashioned cask! What else do you need? Did I mention the weekly tasting sessions with different distilleries? Definitely a place to try!

Love this place. It has a secret yet casual vibe to it. Perfect for a date night, chill evening with friends or after work drinks. Staff are suuuuper friendly and passionate about whiskey. Went with my husband and we had an incredible guy who was determined to find the whiskey he liked and even challenged (in a good way) what he was looking for. Great banter. Menu has lots of options for non whiskey drinkers (me!) and a tap to dilute whiskey or stay hydrated!

We all had a flight of three Whisky's to enjoy. The server made some great picks based on our collective guidance on what flavours we were looking for. They have some rare drams here. The people were all great and the setting is dimly lit, and just the right side of moody. The whisky in the tables has to be seen!

This Whiskey bar is very dear to my heart. It is small and intimidate and non-threatening to individuals new to the whiskey experience. I've been on a regular day. This visit, there was an event where lovely lovely food was served by another business. It was great alcohol and great food! An overall great night and experience for me.

A very nice whisky tasting experience. The crew gave great advice for us and the boys. 3 glasses, going crescendo. Would definitely come back if I’m in London again.

Great whisky bar. What an I credible selection. Over 400 whisky’s and the staff was so knowledgeable about the flavors. The table was also incredible they were aging whisky under the glass. I had a great time with the flights and will definitely visit again to try the cocktails.
