The best part is that there are experts who will give you a hand and offer advice on how to improve your game.

Set over two floors, Q Shoreditch is one of the top luxury bars in London. You will find the lounge on the ground floor. Sip on creative cocktails from the bar’s selection while playing pool. From the sweet pineapple and espresso Albundy to the astringent Coriolis, the drinks here are reason enough to visit the place. 

The design of the space makes you feel like you’re in a 1950s Manhattan luxury loft (think Paul Allen’s apartment from American Psycho, minus the killing part). Go downstairs to the basement and find the nightclub, where you can dance all night long to the sound of world-class DJs playing their music sets, as well as other entertainers  – you can find the events list on the venue’s website. 

Book the Q VIP room and enjoy your pool tables and reserved space if you want more privacy. Pioneer sound systems, English pool tables, and a 65-inch Plasma screen decorate the space. On weekends, enjoy the bottomless brunch with some burgers and bottles of champagne.

SOMA, a new bar in Soho London, is a Vedic Sanskrit word that means to ‘distil and extract’ – an invitation to explore the purity of flavour within our re-imagined classics. SOMA is a modern and minimalistic take on the basement speakeasy. The drinks menu is inspired by India and elsewhere.

Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby, are the owners and creative minds behind the new London bar, both Rik and Will own the restaurant next door, Kricket. – is a stylishly convivial trio of restaurants serving creative Indian small plates with British ingredients.

SOMA will amaze you when you walk in the gigantic 9 meter steel bar with a separate lounge bar off to the side. While going down the stairs, receive and unexpected hint of an incense scented stairway that leads into the bar. The walls are covered in inky black curtains that hide private booths while the bar with its scrubbed stainless-steel top takes centre stage. 

Be prepared for informed recommendations and detailed explanations that make your experience feel great, with drinks designed to be riffs on classics.

On the menu, the owners have decided to stick with the tried & tested Kricket philosophy of fusing East with West – the Margarita has chaat masala in it; the Old Fashioned’s made with jaggery and coconut; while the martini includes some lightly pickled mooli and fennel oil; while – in true speakeasy fashion – the food’s restricted to nibbles (like a stack of Indian crackers made from leftover restaurant rice, with a little yoghurt to dip in).

Other drinks on the menu include a banana daiquiri, made with discarded banana rum, acidified banana skin, Indian spices and cocoa and an almond highball, made with almond soda, Michter’s whiskey, avallen calvados, plum umeshu and amchoor bitters.

SOMA is definitely here to impress and we highly recommend this spot for a fancy date night out, ready to impress.

One a gym haven, now — amongst other things — a gin haven, Jack Solomon’s is a fantastic Soho bar notable for the way in which it matches the vibrant character of its surrounding area , toe to toe, swing by swing. A match made in heaven. One of the most interesting bar’s in London — Solomon’s is fashioned as something of a speak-easy, preferring to invest in the wonderfully eclectic Prohibition era of drinking and socialising, where every figure to the left of the bar had a story to whisper in the night. Despite its namesake (the iconic cockney boxer) this elusive, exclusive bar has somehow utterly transformed its old boxing gym interior whilst holding onto the core spirit of the ring. They won’t ask you to last a round, simply share a few to order.

The showstopping, preformative pantomime of the archaic version of the English sport of boxing is still present with plush stage curtains that frame low-lit dining booths. No cage fighting – not anymore, but the vast array of bottles are shelved into chic cage-blocks mounted on the wall behind the cosy bar, and blindingly illuminated from behind (perhaps the spectacle is part of the fantasy, something slightly pervasive about the presence of the drinks that recalls that illicit cheekiness of american speakeasy — if so, it works a treat!).

The rich, dark carpeting, hidey-hole tables and lamplight glow holds onto the mystique of the underground fight club but has all the elegance of a parlour. The enchanting interior plays host to a dazzling array of exclusive entertainment — much more pleasant than a bust-up but equally vivacious: DJ Optimus Funk and Kristy Harper are regular stars, and with Drag nights and retro nights available, you can bet there’s always something astonishing calling you to join the fray.

At Jack Solomon’s the drinks certainly pack a punch. There’s simple pleasures that keep to the theme (the Four Pure American Pale Ale, for one), but ask the mixologists about the real heavy hitters. The ‘knockout’ cocktail is a long favourite, with Chivas Regal 12, Licor 43, Baristo and Creme de Noisette. Meanwhile, the ‘Jolly Jack’ perfectly honours the Solomon Spirit with a bold base and sweet finishing sting (Pomegranate and Basil Tonic faced down Rosemary-Thyme infused Boxers gin and strawberry in a showdown where everyone wins).

For a thematic Soho night that honours old London while harbouring exciting new memories for every visitor, throw down your glove at Jack Solomon’s Speakeasy bar when you can.
