The Natural Philosopher

Great looking place and very friendly staff. Lots of unique fairly priced cocktails, well made with locally sourced ingredients. Picklebacks are really good too!

Cozy cocktail bar that definitely gives cool girl vibes. Big thanks to Piper, whose service was amazing!

Just did a whisky tasting here last night. I didn’t know what to expect. It was absolutely amazing. The person presenting was from East London Liquor. They were really knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed the set up that meant we sat together as a group. Highly recommended trying it out - they seem to have guest whisky companies do tastings.

Perfect little spot for date night or catch up With friends. Immaculate vibes and their whiskey and cocktails list is unreal- the pickle back sour cocktail was sooo good! Amazing staff too! Highly recommend

An incredible little stop with some of the best cocktails in the city served by some of the best bartenders. Everything we tried was 10/10 and cannot recommend enough. If you haven’t been you are truly missing out!!!

The Natural Philosopher was a real treat. The menu drinks were fantastic and Josh can create any drink to match your palette. This spot was a great recommendation from the NYT and should not be missed.

I didn't expect this, in fact wasn't sure what to expect when walking closer to the location as you would never think it's there. Ideal as this was before going to a gig, and it set the evening off so well. The lady who served the drinks was lovely, super friendly and helpful (sorry should of got her name for a mention) As you walk in, it's super cosy and the bar drops down to your left, and the seating area is above it, quite different. You get seated, have a couple of snacks while you look at the menu and the service is quick. I would recommend happy hour between 6-8 pm as two for one offers, and they are very well made. The closest station is Cambridge Heath, like 2 min walk. Solid A***** LDT x

Such a cool spot for a date or catching up with friends. The cocktails were tasty and service was great. The drinks bar was one level down from the floor!! quirky art surrounds the cosy chairs and sofa’s - a lot to see.

We stopped by after dinner at Bistrotheque. Met the owner, a lovey cozy place that’s pub like in intimacy but far more soothing in volume, comfort, and a sense of ease. Cocktails were very inventive and really hit the mark. Ingredients are foraged in east London and I even had a tequila pickle back. Great spot!

The Natural Philosopher is a neighbourhood cocktail bar in Bethnal Green on Hackney Road apparently themed after a Mac repair shop (random but pretty cool!). The main bar area is down a small flight of stairs with the bar lowered into a well in the ground. Excellent cocktails and fantastic service. Can't wait to return!
