The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town, Hidden speakeasy bar in City of London, United Kingdom.
The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town operates as a concealed basement bar accessed through a vintage Smeg refrigerator door at The Breakfast Club on Artillery Lane.
Established in the early 2010s, this underground venue emerged during London's speakeasy revival movement, drawing inspiration from prohibition-era hidden drinking establishments.
The bar celebrates London's tradition of secretive drinking culture through its hidden entrance ritual and lodge-style interior design reminiscent of Canadian whisky lodges.
Open Monday through Thursday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Friday until midnight, Saturday from noon to midnight, and Sunday from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Patrons must request access to 'The Mayor' from staff upstairs, then descend through a refrigerator door into the underground cocktail lounge below.
