Founded by Phileas J. Fogg, Esq., The Society is located only a stone’s throw away from Charing Cross station – the starting point of his famous voyage around the world! Society fellows and adventurers alike can sip on exploratory tipples in the dimly-lit Drawing Room; let off steam with a libation or two inside our life-size Victorian Train Carriage; or gaze with wonder upon cabinets of curiosities in the mysterious Map Room.

Come and encounter hidden wonders of the world at The Society – from bookcases brimming with timeless antiques and weather-beaten maps, to old mounted portraits of past explorers whose spirit of adventure remains within these very walls. Taking pride of place behind the wood-panelled bar sits the world’s first automated Negroni-making machine, a symbol of the innovative fruits of the Industrial Revolution – the cleverly-crafted and ever-extraordinary Mechanical Mixologist!

As the clock strikes midnight, The Society of Exploration comes alive! Open until the early hours, step foot inside Phileas’ low-lit subterranean speakeasy bar in London’s Covent Garden.

Perfect for those with a penchant for the world’s finest libations, Phileas J. Fogg invites you to clink your glasses and make merry with your Society fellows late into the night. From enchanting smoking cocktails to the most extraordinary vessels, drink your way through a truly imaginative menu of spirits and elixirs from the farthest corners of the globe.
