Things to do in London: Best pubs (and more!) to par with your StreetHunt Game
You’ve cracked the clues, pieced together the mystery, and now there’s only one question left to solve – where’s the nearest pint?
Whether you’re celebrating your victory, arguing over who really cracked the clues, or just in need of caffeine to keep you going, London’s got you covered. From historic pubs to hidden coffee spots, here’s where to toast your success after each StreetHunt adventure.
After uncovering city secrets and hidden corners
Your team just uncovered the dark secrets of Jim Robusta’s coffee empire – and after racing through alleys, you’ve earned a good drink (or three). Luckily, this corner of London knows how to reward a group of detectives.
1. The Punch Tavern
📍 Fleet Street
A pub with as much history as the case files you just read.The Punch Tavern dates back to the 1840s and was named after the satirical magazine once printed nearby. Think polished mahogany, stained glass, and that old-school London charm that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a Dickens novel. Perfect for couples or adult groups who appreciate a proper pint with character. You’re free to stop mid-game for a drink here or anywhere else along your route.
2. Gourmet Burger Kitchen
📍 Near Ludgate Hill
If you’re playing detective with your family, swap the pints for milkshakes. GBK serves up juicy, indulgent burgers that hit the spot after all the searching. Relaxed, family-friendly, and exactly the kind of place where you can debrief over delicious burgers.
Gourmet Burger Kitchen is the perfect place to pause whenever you need – even for a burger break.
3. Alchemy Cafe
📍 St Bride Street
Not every post-game needs a pub. For something slower and calmer, the Alchemy Cafe is a haven of hand-roasted coffee and quiet conversation. Its exposed brick, amber lighting, and comforting scent of espresso match the tone of Colombia’s Finest. Come for the cappuccino, stay for the hot chocolate – especially on one of those crisp London afternoons when your hands haven’t quite thawed from clue-hunting. Teen-friendly, warm, and effortlessly cool.
If you need to warm up mid-game, you can pause the adventure and step inside without losing your progress.
After clues, inheritance, and a toast to victory
You’ve followed your late uncle’s trail through the heart of the city, cracked his cryptic codes, and (hopefully) walked away with his fortune. Now, it’s time to celebrate your cleverness somewhere worthy of the drama.
1. The Old Bank of England
📍 Fleet Street
This isn’t just a normal bar – it’s a statement. Built inside the former Law Courts branch of the Bank of England, this palace oozes grandeur – chandeliers, gilded ceilings, and a bar long enough to hide several secrets behind. Order a Hertfordshire ale and soak in that old-world atmosphere. Ideal for adults, corporate groups, or anyone who enjoys a post-mystery pint with a side of elegance.
The Old Bank of England is another perfect pause-point whenever you choose.
2. Sarastro restaurant
📍 Drury Lane
Named “the show after the show,” Sarastro is pure theatrical indulgence. Picture velvet opera boxes, golden drapes, Turkish meze, and live music that makes your dinner feel like a scene from an old-fashioned film. It’s flamboyant, over-the-top, and absolutely the perfect finale after claiming your inheritance. Best for teams who love a little spectacle with their supper.
If your team wants a mid-game feaster before solving the finale, you can pause Will Breaker here with no rush.
3. Lucky Voice
📍 Holborn
So you’ve cracked the case – now it’s time to crack a high note. Lucky Voice offers private karaoke rooms and a late-night cocktail bar vibe that’s equal parts chaos and charm. Whether your team belts out “Mr Brightside” or just laughs through the lyrics, it’s the perfect place to end your StreetHunt on a high.
Feel like breaking before the final twist? You can pause the game and come back once you’ve hit the highest notes.
