Our extensive whisky selection boasts over 100 select Japanese and Scotch whiskies to be enjoyed as a cocktail, or neat in a highball of hand-carved ice.

A subtle hint of the Orient runs throughout our 50-seater restaurant – you’ll be welcomed by low lighting and plush banquettes against whitewashed brick walls, alongside an eclectic collection of oriental ornaments.

A visit to The Bull is led by the establishment’s passion for whiskies from all over the world. Ask for the whisky list or a recommendation and watch how the flavours of both the whisky and your meal match and accentuate each other.

The service was fine, they made an effort to answer questions and they were some what helpful with food selection. We only ordered wine and beer, so we can't speak to the cocktail experience. The food was really disappointing the gyoza was a bit soggy and flavourless, the bao buns were a nice size but still missing flavor. We order several other dishes and overall it just didn't have much taste. The security person was lovely and chatty :). It was also not too loud, meaning we could have a chat but there was still a positive buzz.

Table was close to the outside seating area so there was a cool breeze (chilly) blowing through. Selection of beers was really poor as they only had one. Had the Pork belly and it was 50% fat and not to my personal liking. Price of the drinks was really high. There are much better places to eat in Shoreditch.

The food was amazing and so tasty! Was reasonably priced but typical for shoreditch. Very squished in there with tables very close to each other and door to outside kept opening on its own so we would get cold every now and then. Staff were friendly and helpful :)

Almost perfect... Food was delicious and we tried most of the menu. Portions are ideal for sharing, so would recommend doing that so you can try as many dishes as possible. Cocktails were superb - both the barperson's skill and the waiting staff knowledge was first rate. If you like a whisky cocktail, I'm not sure there's a better place! We had an early (17:00) reservation and stayed a good couple of hours so whilst it was very quiet to start, the atmosphere built as it got busier. My only (minor) gripe was that when we arrived everything was still getting set up (and why it doesn't get 5*) and the staff weren't truly ready to welcome us with the same levels as later in the evening. Either be ready for the first reservation or not allow a booking until slightly later. We had a great evening overall and will definitely be going back.
