You can feel like you are on Wall Street at this unique bar that has become a viral sensation – you will get ‘unbelievably cheap’ drinks if the ‘stock’ falls and you order at the right time
Drinkers have been wowed by this unique London bar where drinks can be “unbelievably cheap” – but only if you get your timing right.
The 411 bar is inspired by New York’s Soho area – and while there you can feel like a finance whizz on Wall Street thanks to its ‘Wall Street Wednesdays’, when the venue transforms into a bustling trading floor for the evening.
The large bar, which has green leather booths and a cosy corner with a pool table, turns the drinks menu into ‘stocks’. If a number of customers order a drink, the price rises – and ones that are not so popular on the night will see their price fall. It’s not just drinks that are subject to market forces either, as food items can also be seen on the boards.
The 411 bar states: “We’ve also drafted in our very own resident ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ to patrol our venue, keeping an eye on the best deals for you. Be warned as he might corner you with one of his outrageous anecdotes.”
The venue also said the ‘Wolf’ is equipped with his famous money gun, spraying the bar with 411 dollars, including a prestigious golden ticket – if you manage to get one you will be rewarded with free drinks all night long.
A sneak peak video shared on Secret London’s TikTok page has raked in more than 4.5million views – and fans love it. Two individuals who went and filmed their experience said they were able to get a typically pricey espresso martini for just £4.
Secret London said: “Every Wednesday this bar’s menu turns into a stock market where prices rise and fall based on popularity. The cocktails are pretty standard but if you catch them when their stock prices are down, they can be unbelievably cheap […] If you’re lucky enough to experience a market crash, buy as many as you can at once before the popularity spikes the price again.”
There is also a photo booth and beer pong table at the 411. “This is definitely a fun night out,” Secret London added.
An ex bar manager commented “As a previous bar manager, trying to think how these are rung through the till at different prices and do a stock take is stressing me.”
People applauding the idea shared their thoughts, as one wrote: “That’s such a fun concept, and a great way to try new drinks.” “This is so creative,” added one other. “I’d be so happy in there,” commented another.
