Reviews of ABQ London
C. O.
We went after the lockddown re-opening. Outdoors only for the moment. Vegan friendly. Good location in the Hackney village/ covered market area. Good thin crust sourdough pizza, snacks, drinks. Place is known for its cocktails. Superb at the weekends, live music. Service was exceptional.
Places like these, are what makes London great.

We went for a make your own cocktails class and it was great! The drinks were great and so much fun to make! Special shout out to Itunu for her amazing service, hope to see you whenever next we're there. Don't miss out!
S. C.
This was a really cool experience to go to especially if you’re a breaking bad fanatic! The experiments were really cool and the instruction were really easy to follow.
The reason for the 4 stars was due to how sticky the overalls were. It had a smell to it and a very sticky feeling so it made sitting down for 2 hours during the experience very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and would definitely recommend this.
S. R.
My two friends and I came here for the Breaking Bad cocktail experience (3 drinks) to celebrate my birthday. It was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish.
The RV was a great environment and definitely made it feel like you were a part of breaking bad.
The drinks were delicious and there was no short pouring of alcohol.
The staff even came around at the end with some complimentary birthday shots and a breaking bad themed birthday card. This made the experience even better than I thought it would be.
The staff were very friendly and made the day fun while also making sure everyone was being safe.
I will be recommending this to everyone I know in London (especially those who enjoyed breaking bad).

Very fun night out in the breaking bad RV. Some really clever and inventive drinks that you make yourself within a few hours of being shown. The staff were excellent and they deserve praise for working in the heat! It is damn hot in the suits and you will like most people end up sweating buckets. Really great night out. Highly recommend for something different.
T. S.
It’s not at all gimmick like as you may imagine these sort of hands on places to be; the theme is well followed throughout and the vibe is lively and fun.
The drinks are made nearly ready to drink and then you add garnishes and or infuse the drink with final flavours as part of the molecular input, using gas canisters to create foam, dry ice to create flavoured gas etc.
The music is loud, old school hip hop, for the most part, with a few other bits in there like the BB theme tune - naturally. The drinks are tasty and they also have the facility to make classics. It’s a great space to go with a few people.
The staff are helpful and fun.
Bring cash, as it’s a cash bar, however, there is a cash point nearby if you need.
S.
We went for my sister's hen do and it was such a fun way to start the day. The staff were incredible and went above and beyond to give us a good time. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Thank you so much for delicious cocktails, pizza and big laughs. Great energy!

"Breaking Bad" inspired bar. I give 5 stars for the eccentric location and the experience: you can cook your own cocktails, following given recipes, combining different ingredients in unusual ways and see chemical reactions that happen. All cocktails were good. Nice Staff, good music.
Unpleasant note: some yellow suits were broken, dirty, not so useful if you have to cook. For the price you pay, it would be nice to have them wearable, clean and functional. The masks need to be sterilized before make them available to the costumers, because all of them were dirty. It doesn't cost anything, as well as new suits.
*Reply to owner:
It's true that people don' t always pay attention to things that are lent to them. It is possible tough, to invite clients to use all the available equipment with caution, and to pay for valuable things they broke.
I suggested to buy new jumpsuit (available online at low prices) to replace the damaged ones.
I didn't mention to buy new masks (which are quite expansive). I suggested to sterilize them, possibly when groups leave and others come in. It doesn't require an expensive solution, it' s easy and free to sterilize with steam (as for glass and dishes).
I am still thinking that Abq staff did an amazing job and the place it's eccentric and fun. Some inconveniences can happen but they can be fixed as well.
a. g.
A great night out. The staff were really friendly and engaging, even though they were so busy with making everyone's orders. So much fun making the cocktails, they were some of the best we have ever tasted!
S. R.
This is an absolute must! Super cool spot, where you can become part of Breaking Bad story and cook your own cocktails! Not good from chemistry? No worries, you’ll get an instruction and friendly staff will make sure you have lots of fun. The vibe of the place keeps you in old school rap music theme as well. Venue is beautiful, with lots of neon lights and accessories and.... actual truck in which you can play with your cocktails, just like in the series.
There is a small espresso martini cocktail bar upstairs and a pizza spot! 😋❤️
Grab your friends and move into the world of hip hop and bad boyzzzz, Yo!
M. B.
Had a great time. A different experience for sure. Drinks were good and the pizza was tasty. Wish they didn't have vegan meats only for the pies but it is what it is.
K. v. E.
So much fun! Went here for a friend’s birthday and had so much fun. The atmosphere feels straight out of breaking bad down to the spray painted, particle board walls, and the sturdy lab benches we mixed the drinks at.
Start by suiting up into the jumpsuits straight from breaking bad and then pick the drinks from a menu that also serves as the recipe book. Our server was very fast and competent and started us right away on a drink that uses dry ice to infuse the drink, along with DIY foam.
We spent almost 2.5 hours there and everyone was very friendly, and all of our drinks were delicious or at the very least interesting. Worth the 36£ fee for the excursion!
Z. R.
Awesome experience!!! Really put me in mind of the Breaking Bad TV show. It was fun making the cocktails and using laboratory equipment. I truly felt like a scientist. Definitely a must try with a group of family or friends.
G. A.
This was a super fun night out! What a unique experience. Great way to bring a television show to life in the cocktail scene. Thoroughly enjoyed and have recommended to several friends.
L. M.
Loved it!! Great cocktails, was a great experience, even if your a fan of Breaking Bad or not. My only advice would be for new yellow jumpsuits as most of the ones I tried on were falling apart. Apart for that 5*
H. T.
Gimmicky fun, Breaking Bad themed cocktail bar, RV inside bar, can wear hazmat suits and goggles, smoking cocktails etc. Taste of the cocktails weren't up to scratch, but it’s a fun place and in a good location with other bars around
J. G.
Itsy (sorry if name was spelt wrong) enegetic young nigerian girl welcomed us and really made the whole night from start through to her knowledge and advice on drinks / food … will definitely be returning
Its was empty and quite at the bar and she made the evening lively and fun!
S. L.
Service was incredible (Mimi was one of the best servers I've ever had)! The instructions for the cocktail experience were hard to follow and didn't always work. But still a super fun evening! For the £36 you get a welcome drink which was mediocre, and 2 drinks of choice, which were both good. The pizza was incredible.
O. T.
Booked as a surprise for my wife. She and I both loved it, being Breaking Bad fans.
The whole experience is really novel and a great idea. I'd possibly go back for a repeat visit, but it's that initial fun factor the first time you go that would wear off on repeat visits.
I only knock off a star as the music was very loud house and radio-friendly music, which kind of ruined the whole Breaking Bad theme. It would have been cool if they were playing the soundtrack. Also the hazmat suits provided were quite sweaty and sticky...
M. E.
Itsy you are everything. You made our experience. You are my spirit animal. Everyone needs a bit of Itsy in their life. Best, most boozey cocktails and Itsy ever....
G.
Original experience bar outside the center of London.
If you love the breaking bad series I would recommend a visit.
If you enjoy great cocktails and don’t care about the experience then I would recommend going somewhere else.
For all others, try it and I’m sure you’ll have a good one. 🍸
N. L.
The bar is themed following the breaking bad series. When you book the table you get to dress with the yellow jumpsuits like on the TV show. Good cocktails.
A. M. B.
Really great experience even if you've not seen 'Breaking Bad'
Covid measures were in place at the time of my visit
Staff were hugely accessible and attentive enough that you thoroughly have the whole experience, with as much support as you needed.
Only feedback would be for the cocktail guides to be updated as they refer to some equipment that is no longer available.l e.g large 1000ml conical flask.
N. M.
Super cool Breaking Bad themed bar, where you “mix” your own drinks using components prepared by the resident mixologist, with a little help from some dry ice, nitrous oxide, frothers and more depending on your choice of cocktail.
The bar is in a trailer, meaning you have to book in advance, and it fits around 20 people or so. The host is awesome, very personable, and makes the night very interactive. The music is not too loud, you can still hold conversations, and the playlist is a mix of 90s West Coast and East Coast rap, RnB, and Reggaeton.
The cost of entry gets you a welcome mojito with syringe, and your choice of two other “scientific” cocktails, but you can always buy additional cocktails.
All in all, a great alternative night out with friends, or an interesting date spot.
Oh yeah, and you don’t need to have watched the series 🙂
H. E.
Such a unique and cool place. The time flew bit we had a blast. Amazing quality cocktails and very reasonably priced. Yeah cocktails yo.
T. S.
Had a great night here last night, our host Z was great and made the atmosphere of the place extremely vibrant. Ignore all the comments about the uniforms as it seems they've replaced them all now. We highly recommend making friends with your table-mates and ordering "the lab"
k.
Very strong drinks, location a bit of pain to get to and very hidden and confusing to get to as you have to go throughout a tunnel to get there seems a little dodge, I would say it was overprice for the “breaking bad experience” and felt rush to make each drink rather then enjoy making it and drinking it the ice cream making one was overwhelmed by the lemon juice
I. T.
The drinks, the staff everything was awesome. Definitely would recommend it to visit. Friendly cool vibe and music.
X. 8.
This place is definitely worth a visit. Staff were very helpful and informative about concocting each cocktail and I made around 5 different ones which all tasted great. My suggestions would be the Choco Sky and ABQ Breckie. Will definitely be going again
B. R.
I liked it. Nice vibe and would recommend for a good night out in a group.

In response to the owner. 3 is good! 5 is for exceptional!
It’s not madame JOJO so cannot give you a 5 star.

A RV van on Hackney Road Breaking Bad style… now that is definitely original and that is what we call ABQ. Created by Lollipop, the guys behind The Bletchley, ABQ is the more chilled out East London immersive cocktail experience based on the popular Breaking Bad series.
ABQ cocktail bar east london ABQ cocktail bar east london
The concept is simple – you ‘cook’ up some cocktails with yellow boiler suits on, masks and goggles. Think dry ice, syringes and ‘explosions’. A pretty great concept, fun and interactive – they could do with some more staff to help with guiding the making of cocktails but they fill gaps with shots which you clearly can’t complain about!
We started off with a Wendy Martini: vodka, passoa, passionfruit and prosecco, dry ice fusion of vanilla and white chocolate bubbles (which I did enjoy blowing!) which is a sharing cocktail.
Individual cocktail wise we had CRT Fix: Gin, elderflower, lime, cucumber and mint infused with thyme and rosemary, Ruby: fennel infused gin, betaone shrub, lemon juice, rhubarb syrup and peychauds with ginger extract and Ted: Whiskey, maraschino, thyme and ginger, dark fruit shrub and lime with hibiscus hydrosole air.
It was so much fun making the cocktails and just a different experience to the norm. At £32.50 for a welcome cocktail and two hours in the RV including the cooking / infusing of 2 cocktails, it is good value – oh not to mention the fantastic rnb and hip hop music that goes with it!
S. P. N.
I had an amazing 31 bday party here with my friends here. Cooking the cocktails was amazing! And even the non-alcoholic ones tasted so good!
R. C.
The complete package. A great experience and really great cocktails. They camper van looks amazing to!
S. K.
Awesome! A great experience "cooking up" cocktails in the Breaking Bad RV Meth Lab. Lots of fun and entertainment for Breaking Bad fans and cocktail lovers.
A. T.
Excellent drinking making experience. Lots of fun with the dry ice and booze. A bit dark to read the instructions of how to make the drinks but we got it done.
M. R.
Really good cocktails and nice incorporation of dry ice, nitrous and bubbles to create an interactive experience!
Good customer service, but could be faster in recognising when customers are ready for their next drink and the doubling up of couples on single tables wasn't ideal. A great change of pace, but realistically would only go once!
f. a.
So much fun and the cocktails tasted amzing! Definitely recommend for a great evening!!!
H. W.
Great experience in London! Love the setting, cocktail making and friendly funny staff😀 there. Recommend anyone looking for something fun and extraordinary !
C. J.
Great atmosphere. The details were awesome. I went in thinking this would be quite gimmicky but we had loads of fun!
K. I.
Breaking Bad themed bar where you can make your own cocktails in RV vans. Hidden under the Hackney arches, lovely for a quick drink or pizza
r. r.
Sticky & grungy, mad & chaotic totally brilliant experience. You will never forget this place. Be careful with that dry ice & make sure you follow the instructions. Enjoy
K. K.
The Breaking Bad experience was decent.
On the plus side, the wait staff were awesome and drinks were incredibly fun to make!
Pizzas were ok but limited to 4 options on the menu which was a bit of a letdown. RV was hella cramped too so wouldn't recommend it for 4 people, but would be good if you're a couple. Biggest let down was that they don't have the hazmat suits anymore! No masks or suits, just aprons which is pretty lame, definitely takes away from the vibe. Good music but they played the same 10 tracks over and over again, not sure why they've only got 45 minutes worth of songs on rotation.
Overall a good experience but nothing special. I think with a few touches here and there it could be much better. Was probably a fair bit better before lockdown. Would recommend it for something a little bit different but if you're a genuine Breaking Bad fan don't go in expecting too much or you'll leave disappointed.
J. M.
Decent experience. If you like breaking bad would recommend. Bess had loadsa fun. #dontsellknockheart
O. R.
Was a really great night out the cocktails were great the food once it was right was really good and the staff had bags of energy 👌🏾👌🏾but was a few hiccups which is why I’m giving 4 Stars. I’m a vegetarian and ordered a veggie pizza after double checking the pizza I was given was veggie twice with staff only to bite into into it to find it was full of chicken was really disappointing... we paid £24 extra for the Christmas package but staff completely forgot only when reminded once our night was over they brought out Santa hats ,4 crackers and 4 small glasses of drink so was a bit disappointing aswell they also forgot it was my birthday😂 for all of these mistakes we were given £6 discount.
J. C.
Good drinks, like the atmosphere. Good pizza? I am not vegan and I didn’t really love the pizza but think I picked poorly as other ones looked tastier. Really nice place to have in London tho on all the levels.
i. d.
Lovely place, will defo come back
A. C.
Great experience, the drinks are amaizing the staff is very kind and the pizzas are just perfect. It's a little bit pricy, but for what you get it's worth it.
C. D.
My partner and I came to ABQ and did the Breaking Bad themed cocktail experience. It was great! We had loads of fun making our cocktails and loved using the dry ice. All of the staff were also really enthusiastic and very friendly! My only complaint is that some of the drinks are way too sweet, I would recommend that you steer clear of Walt Junior's Brekkie.
G. P.
This place is unique - Amazing for Breaking Bad fans but great even if you're not! The staff have the best energy and make you feel so welcome, the cocktails taste amazing and are so much fun to make. The decor and music create such a good atmosphere. Best bar I've been to!!! Would thoroughly recommend!
K.
Immediately felt so welcomed when we got in. Fun staff, encouraged us to try multiple different drinks (I thought we had to order the same thing) even though obviously that was gonna be messier for them. Drinks tasted nice and had a good amount of alcohol in! Super fun to make and easy-to-follow instructions. Music was vaguely Breaking Bad-y (hip-hop, Latin). Boyfriend loved it (fab B-Day present) & he’s keen on going to their Bletchley place next. The pizza place at the back is really good too.
G. R.
Details and staff were on point 👌 had an awesome time for a friends birthday there, so many great cocktails to make!
H. M.
Amazing experience, pizza and cocktails. The shots are expensive but so much fun as well as delicious! Staff are so friendly. Location seems a bit dodgy but I would 100% recommend this bar!!
P. M.
One of the best nights out I've had in a while! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Staff are great and really seem to enjoy themselves with the Breaking Bad theme. Cocktails were great fun to make and tasted good too...and not the usual stuff you find anywhere.
D. Q.
Amazing staff made a mistake and quickly rectified it pizza was amazing!n
L. H. G. (.
This is one of the coolest experiences I've had on holiday.
The RV itself is super cool and all of the small touches around are well done, although I do feel like there could be a bit more Breaking Bad easter eggs and touches around, although there could be legality/licensing reasons why they can't.
It's a short enough journey on the tube and surface train to get there and it's a short walk from the train station, but not too easy to find as it's down the end of a dark lane without a major sign.
The suits you get are not the most comfortable and they get really hot inside, but they're designed for Pharmaceutical plants not bars so it's to be expected.
Staff were really fun and friendly, guiding us through the cocktail making and making us laugh, and the cocktail selection was good and all of them apart from the La Tortuga were delicious.
My only complaints would be there was a fair bit of waiting around in between drinks or before it began.
The music was also so loud that we couldn't hear the staff explaining the cocktail instructions, and they said they couldn't turn it down - the DJ thinks he was in Ibiza. The RV was also a bit dark inside but we just used our phone torches to help us.
Overall it was great fun, and I'd recommend it for any Breaking Bad fan, although pay to be inside the RV - it looked like a lot less fun outside of it.
N. V. H.
The cocktail experience was great - the cocktails tasted good and the cooking process was fun. However, the "pizza" was disappointingly VEGAN. Feel like this was hidden on the website and we only found out when we got here. Would have brought our own cheese if we'd known! Vegan food is best when it's not trying to replace non-vegan food, especially cheese. Vegan pizza is a crime and an insult to the nation of Italy. So for this I am knocking off a star. Otherwise, the drinks are great and we enjoyed the experience very much.
S. B.
It's a little tricky to find but a great venue. Sadly we were sat right under a loud speaker and they were unable to move us or turn it down. To the point that when they were explaining the safety stuff for dry ice we couldn't hear. When we asked questions about the dry ice or menu the staff couldn't hear either!! However, on the whole the staff were nice, but you need more of them as service was very slow. The whole experience is fun, especially in a group. The cocktails are interesting and some nicer than others. The yellow jumpsuits smelled absolutely revolting!!! So on the whole mixed views - go for yourself and have fun.
M.
Had an amazing experience here! The staff is wonderful and made the time there very enjoyable! The cocktails were quite a blast to make and tasted very good! I will recommend this place to all of my friends! If you're a Breaking Bad fan you need to go.
Z.
So much fun. Drinks are strong. The place is small and is located opposite Hackney Central Station. You have to walk through a market. It's nice and sells vegan food. The experience at ABQ is so much fun even if you are not into Breaking Bad. You make 3 cocktails each for £36. If you do it right, and have enough people, you could make the whole menu
D. K.
The drinks were delicious and it was fun playing with the dry ice. The staff are friendly and helpful. The whole place has a nice vibe. Thanks for a lovely day.
But please get some new overalls, they are all sticky and torn.
p.
A really good experience. If you love cocktails, breaking bad, music 🎶 and having fun, this is the place to be. Randomly located in Hackney up a side alleyway under railway arches, this is a ‘must book’ venue. Especially if you want to come on a Friday or Saturday night. The staff are excellent here and the yellow suits you wear in the RV is great to help you get into character. A DJ plays dance music and there is a good, friendly, happy atmosphere about the place. Open to 12am most nights, this is well worth a visit and the place is now here to stay.
J. V.
Very good effort / idea but few bits missing to rate this place a full 5 stars. You will see the famous RV upon entering. The cocktails are decent and the bar in general is quite nice. Few drinks come with frothers that you have to use but none of them worked. Service is great and on the top floor they have arcade games which you play and win shots no matter how bad you play. Downstairs they have pizza counter on one corner, which comes in handy and the loos on the other which were clean.
J. M.
Excellent experience and very energetic staff happily explaining the whole experiment process. Everything is sticky there(tables, seats, lab coats...) which is expected given the number of people experimenting with drinks, the only big downside is that the yellow lab coats they give you can get really warm and sweaty (and the sinks by the toilets were covered in puke when I went)
M. L.
Very interesting place, quite dirty and messy and the uniforms you need to wear are a bit disgusting and most of them totally destroyed.
The cocktails we chose were very sweet so I couldn’t even finish my second.
Anyway the staff are absolutely enjoying their job and fantastic in their entertainment.
About the destination it wasn’t difficult to find it but be aware there isn’t any signs and anything to show you that this is the “bar”
You definitely have to visit this place one in your life but don’t forget to take a lot of disinfectant:)
C.
Great setting, really induces you in the atmosphere of the series. The music also helped a lot with that. Staff was absolutely amazing, from helping with booking to creating a perfect atmosphere in the RV. Thanks for a great night guys!! Will def recommend and come back!! Really great job crew!!!
A. M.
I might be biased because I am a huge fan of the show but the RV was great! The previous session ran over schedule so we had to wait an additional 15 minutes but it was worth it - we got to make our own cocktails after staff gave us instructions. Unfortunately, the Heisenberg song was not on but I guess they compensated with the Narcos theme song. The decor is nice and you get to try different goggles or gas masks. I don't know if it was too hot because of the suit or my excitement but nevertheless, I would definitely recommend giving it a try!
O. A.
Amazing molecular cocktails! The staff super friendly and know their elements! (haha)
K. G.
Absolutely incredible!!! From awesome music, though cool design to absolutely unique and delicious cocktails (that you almost make yourself), ABQ gives you an experience of a night not to forget! 100% recommend to anyone, be it a couple, friends, any age, any time :)
K.
I loved making our own cocktails with all the lab equipment. Was less keen on the music, which was loud (intrusive at times). Our server was brilliantly friendly and helpful and the tiny space inside meant it was easy to chat with the people we didn't know at the next table.
F. A.
Came for a friends birthday party and it was quite fun and cool making the drinks. Felt like I was a scientist
G. S. t.
Absolutely the place to be!!! For a first date, taking your friends your parents your wife, proposing is just amazing.. samba will look after you. The whole place is just magical really coool drinks!! I’ll recommend anybody to come and visit is literally a must such a lovely staff and place. The drinks are unbelievable I felt like a scientist.
B. J.
Thoughtful decor and props, and definitely has that novelty factor. Pizzas from the place at the back were tasty. Music was good.
I’m not sure about the use of real tyvek suits- they’re not breathable, you get very hot in them and they’re sticky/smelly from multiple uses so perhaps it would be a good idea to replace them with novelty suits that arent quite as water/air tight.
I wouldn’t say the cocktails were especially to my taste but it was a fun group activity overall.
Would I come back now that I’ve been once? Probably not.
T. A.
Great experience. Never made my own cocktails but the forensic jumpsuits make the experience too. The bus you sit in is great too when I get my pics I will add
G. D. (.
We visited and experienced the Breaking Bad cocktail making class. It was an exceptional experience in the trailer they cook meth like in the film. Cocktails were fun and included quirky ways to mix them. A totally immersive experience I would do again.
J. C.
This was one of the best nights i have had in a long time, the drinks were absolutely amazing, they tasted so amazing as well as the rush of excitement you get when youre making them, the hosts were absolutely delightful, amazing customer service, very friendly, very comical and a great night overall with alot of laughter and fun! It is very interactive and everybody was just lovely! Recommend this to everyone!!!
G. M.
AMAZING NIGHT!!!
I celebrated my birthday at ABQ along with a party of 28 guests. Everyone had a great time and when a few things went wrong Nick & the team were always on hand to find a solution!
Music was GREAT, staff are AMAZING and the cocktails are DELICIOUS!
If you are booking for a big group Noemi will make sure everything is booked and tailored to you and your party.
If I could give one bit of advice when booking for a big party it would be..book an early slot so you have plenty of time to enjoy, make cocktails and still have time to hit the dance floor!
ABQ is an experience not to be missed & I will definitely be back again!!!
Oh and don’t forget to grab a slice of 🍕 pizza.
D. M.
Had my first night out after covid and I was scared but went for a cocktail experience and the two girls Saff and Gemma were amazing. Social distancing was followed and felt really at ease
music was in the background loud enough to enjoy but not overpowering. Requested a couple of songs and after some reluctance from management they put them on which made us stay longer with some persuasion from staff. Would defo go again even living out of the area. Thanks Gemma and Saff xx
D. A.
Loved ABQ ... amazing staff... amazing cocktails ... amazing time. Great value for money and a ‘must’ experience
P. R.
Great music, staff and environment. You want to go on that special date or just do something different this is the place to go.
D. D.
Great time and helpful staff- bit of a trek to get there but absolutely worth it.
J.
We had an amazing time @ ABQ London cooking up cocktails for my boyfriend's birthday! The staff were really friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Good concept and vibes! Thanks guys.
I. S.
A unique immersive experience, where the waiters guide you through the preparation of your own dry ice cocktail using all kinds od paraphernalia from a chemical laboratory. The staff are incredibly charming, enthusiastic and attentive to customers’ needs.
A. M.
Booked a double session here and due to technical difficulties and health and safety they had to cut it off early for the night, originally I felt a bit disappointed but they came over and explained everything about what happened and why’ they couldn’t continue so they’re issuing a refund and shots on the house, dealt with the situation so well and it’s unfortunate the amount of abuse they were receiving. Had half the time but definitely experienced the full fun of the evening. Lovely staff. Can’t wait to go back!
I. P.
Such great service, and the best decor ever! Great vibes in the evening with good food. Only went for drinks but the pizza looked amazing!
S. P. L.
Has to be one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, despite being vegan!
P. D.
Good atmosphere and it was a good bit of fun. Cocktails left a bit to be desired.
V. X.
I loved everything about it. Only thing was the yellow suit, it was too thick. So Maybe get a fake version of the suit because it was too hot and I didn't wear it. Try a thin Mac material that s easy to wipe clean. Otherwise, it was much fun as I love science. Keep it up! X
S. W.
The selection of drinks was great and the nachos really tasty. Staff were also really friendly to talk to. Will definitely be visiting again.
j. J.
The entire staff was a joy to be around!! Where else can you find lucky charms cereal at 11pm??? They even teach you how to make your own drinks!!
c.
Great cocktails! Even got surprised for my birthday, so fun!
R. I.
The place is packed, staff are friendly and welcoming. You get to socialise alot and very artistic walls and backgrounds. They should start serving Los Pollos though.
A. M.
Mad cocktails and had great time here but the place is pretty grim. I know it’s a trailer but even so, dirty cocktail glasses, tables, overalls etc, then there’s the toilets! If you’re big on hygiene it might be an issue
A. V.
My husband is a biggest fan of Breaking bad series.So I booked this place on his birthday with a group of friends and we absolutely loved the experience.Enjoyed cooking some cocktails and amazing service!A different experience!

This place is so fun! Loved it, the workers were super fun as well
O. S.
Great night, really recommend booking ahead in the RV rather than the extension. Super fun cocktail making, the drinks are quite strong and sweet which imo is the best combo!
J. M.
Awesome night out. Prepare to get money out though as you will definately want more than the 3 drinks you get with your ticket! These guys are onto a winner as the format is unique, friendly and worth every bitchin' penny!

Took my boyfriend for his birthday. We abolutely loved it. I would definitely go again, the experience and the staff were excellent.

Fantastic. Really enjoyed it, the staff were brilliant and we had a great time
M. C.
It's a very cosy place, we went for vegan pizza and they are delicious. Staff is very friendly and were asking if everything is fine.
Definitely recommend.
S. W.
Great cocktail experience with friends!
D. C.
Fun! But you’d get the best experience if you are a group of min 4 ppl. We weren’t told that when we did the booking so we feel like we missed out on few things. A reason to be back I guess!

After an earlier 3 star rating (given largely for cleanliness of the suits) they reached out to me and assured me they'll clean the suits more often, and have more available during busy times. Updated to 4 stars on that basis.
S. S.
Good experience, lots of fun playing with dry ice, our group was pretty funny so he had a great time.
It's a must do if you are in the area!
A. M.
So worth it! If you're a fan of the TV series especially, but even if you're not since the cocktails are seriously good! The environment and attention to detail is amazing.
E. E.
Very fun but a bit pricey
M. N.
We had an amazing experience, definitely worth the money! Staff is very friendly and helpful, coctails you make are quite strong and sweet. We'd definitely like to come back

Lovely place to go for drinks with friends, I would go again.

Damn there's quite nothing like this experience. If you like chemistry classes and cool mixology, cramped RV with Breaking Bad paraphernalia, this is it.

Great place for breaking bad themed cocktail.You get a science set and instructions from the server on how to make your chosen beverage

Pizza's were nice, it's a cool space and the staff upstairs were friendly. The ABQ experience was OK, one of the cocktails I had was great, and it was fun making it, the other one was OK. Some of the Staff in the RV were great, others seemed very disinterested. They describe the bar as an "Espresso Martini Bar" but we didn't see anything that suggested this was the case, the drinks menu had 1 espresso martini and some other cocktails. Added service charge onto drinks but don't tell you they are doing that, which is a bit naughty also what's the service charge for, I'm ordering my own drinks? Also one of our party got charged for a peroni they didn't order, and although she paid cash, the bar staff insisted they had to refund on to a card, that seems strange to us.
