Wakleys Food And Drink in Islington

Really great atmosphere, waitresses were really friendly and dj was great. However, the cocktails were not very pleasing at all although they looked great. We ordered 4 and I didn’t like any of them and my boyfriend only liked 1, they did not taste very nice at all. Would not recommend for cocktails however is great for a nice night with a good atmosphere and nice music

Cool authentic cocktails! Lovely atmosphere filled with fun and good music! Favourite time to go there is the summer as it really gives off Hawaiian vibes.

Pleasantly surprised and the reviews have been 50/50. We were running late and needed to phone the restaurant which was proving difficult as our booking was after the lines were closed. However the restaurant ended up phoning us to see where we were! We greeted warmly and seated immediately, just in time for the entertainment. Drinks were flowing; we got welcome shots :) and free prawn crackers whilst we waited for the food. Due to the restaurant being busy and our food taking a little longer than expected, we were given free drinks for our patience. Staff were friendly. Ordering was east and the food came out hot! Can’t wait to go back!

I’d seen the tiktoks of this place and already knew it’d be great. We honestly had the best night, even on a Sunday the music had us dancing and there were sparklers going off all around as people celebrated. We sat at the bar and watched everything being made, shoutout to Oscar who talked us through all the ingredients and kept the drinks flowing, they need at least 5 more Oscar’s he was brilliant! Honestly cannot wait for an excuse to come back - there are so many cocktails I want to try (but the Laki Kane is a must-have so far!).

There's something about this place that draws me back, me and my partner too!!!We enjoy the theme, the energy the food the experiences and most importantly the Rum!!!If you want to feel on holiday go visit!!!On this occasion we went to a rum making experience where we infused ingredients with Dry rum and even got to take our samples home with the opportunity to re order again how cool is that!I recommend the cocktail making lessons they are a great starter then head down stairs for some good Thai food!!!! The chicken pad tai is my favourite so far!!!Always looking forward to our next visit.Staff are well informedFriendlyAnd professional!!

Simon is the man, if you don't interact with Simon your visit was wasted. He made the complete vibe, carried energy from the moment we walked through, did the rum tasting which was thoriughly enjoyable on its own. From the cocktails and food to the vibe in the place, me and my partner couldn't fault anything. Straight in the group chat as a place we all need to go to. Could not speak highly enough of this place and everything about it.

I had a great experience at Laki Kane, the food was well presented and tasty, the staff were very attentive and friendly. I went on a Sunday afternoon so I enjoyed bottomless cocktails 🍸 😋. The music they played in background were all classic late 90's and early 00's hiphop and R&B. Not forgetting to mention the ambience was an authentic tropical Thai theme. I would definitely visit again and I would highly recommend this restaurant as a place to check out if you're in Islington North London.

The Cocktail Making Class was a brilliant experience!I absolutely loved my visit to this Tiki/Caribbean themed bar. The vibes were 10/10!I love cocktails and had wanted to go to a class for ages so I was over the moon to be able to come and experience this courtesy of Red Letter Days with my bestie!Our table was set up with all the drinks, ingredients, glasses and teaching cards ready for us to dive straight in. Initially I didn't realise it was tailored towards couples as a 'romantic evening' but that didn't stop me and my bestie from learning and laughing, in fact, I think it added to the fun.We drank pink prosecco and created a spiced rum cocktail that was AMAZING!If like me, you are new to cocktail making Laki Kane is the best place to start. The whole experience is newbie friendly and the vibe here is unlike any other on Upper Street.Staff were incredible, so welcoming and friendly, they provide a very helpful service - literally just had to push a button when we got a bit stuck with our step by step cocktail making cards and staff were right there to give us a hand.Thank you to the team at Laki Kane - music was on point, the drinks were great and a buzzing tropical vibe!I will definitely be visiting again :)For more information on my experience here please send me a Dm on Instagram @sammiswintonIslington's top 5% Google Local Guides

The food was average and lukewarm, the cocktail glasses were not completely full and were mostly ice cubes. Yeah you can order more drinks for the bottomless brunch but in reality you have only had one and a half glasses. The time in between ordering and getting the drinks could of been quicker. Not worth the price I'm afraid.
