Evans & Peel Detective Agency
Evans & Peel Detective Agency is a theatrical cocktail bar hidden behind the guise of a detective’s office in Earls Court, London. During your visit, you’re invited to meet with the “detective,” deliver a case file or answer a few questions, and then you’re led through a secret door into a dimly lit, vintage-styled bar reminiscent of a 1920s prohibition lounge. Inside, the ambiance is moody and atmospheric: low lighting, rich woods, vintage typewriters, old books, and detective props. The soundscape is often augmented by live jazz and blues sets—on Thursdays from about 8:30-10:30 pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 9:00-11:30 pm. The cocktail menu is a blend of classic and inventive drinks, many of them tied into the detective / case narrative. The dining / bar snacks tend to lean toward tapas or modern small plates that pair with cocktails, like cold cuts or curated bar snacks. Many patrons describe the experience as part speakeasy lounge, part immersive theater—small surprises, hidden details, and a sense of discovery throughout. Overall, it’s beloved by locals and visitors alike for combining theatrical flair, well-made cocktails, and an atmosphere that feels like stepping into an era of secrecy and style.
