Evans & Peel Detective Agency, Themed bar in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom.
Evans & Peel Detective Agency is a hidden basement bar behind the facade of a 1920s detective office, filled with vintage furniture and detective items. The space creates an immersive experience that recalls the Prohibition era.
The bar draws inspiration from the American Prohibition period and recreates the secret atmosphere of speakeasies where private detectives worked. It reflects a time when such places served as refuges for illegal activities.
Staff members dress as detectives from the 1920s and greet guests with mystery cases and stories. This theatrical approach blends with skillfully made cocktails and creates an experience rooted in the detective culture of that era.
The venue is open Tuesday through Thursday from 5 PM and Friday through Saturday until 2 AM. Advance reservations are strongly encouraged, especially for groups and private events.
Guests must present a case to the detective hosts at the entrance before being escorted through a secret door into the hidden bar below. This ritual turns each visit into a mystery adventure.
