What to do and see in Soho, England: The Best Bars & Clubs

October 19, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Loving music all my life the chance to see a band I loved as an adolescent at one of the most iconic music venues was too tempting to miss. What a fantastic night we had, loved every minute of it and shook hands the madman himself Den Heggarty. A night I’ll never forget.

Superb blues playing from multi talented small groups of guitars and harmonica players in a cosy pub by Carnaby street. Free entry from 330pm. Really worth listening to. Much deep south music. Players change every 25 minutes.

Bar Termini Soho

Reviewed By SharonK997 - Yateley, United Kingdom

We popped here for drinks before our lunch, what a great internet find, and the place did not disappoint either. Reserved a table for 6 via a text message, we were delayed by a train, but they held the spot for us. Negronis were insane, and served to the table in a small glass filled to the brim and I mean brim! cocktails authentic and tasty, we also had the anti-pasto - cheese - meats - breads all delicious and freshly prepared. Lovely small Italian intimate spot for pre-dinner drinks.

Reviewed By iwanttobeonholiday12 - Birmingham, United Kingdom

We'd booked a table for Sunday afternoon and as the bar is hidden in a side street it was much quieter than some of the other Soho bars we'd walked past. I'll remember this for future trips to London. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, plenty of choices for craft beer, cider and gin, and really good burgers.

Disrepute

Taking the place of Sixties haunt, ‘The Pinstripe Club’, inspired by its colourful history of scandal and infamy (where Keeler met Profumo), Disrepute combines timeless qualities and Sixties counterculture with choice elements of London’s exciting cocktail scene today. A hidden gem of a basement nestled under Kingly Court, Disrepute (D.R.P.) will welcome guests with warm hospitality and impeccable service. Offering an expertly curated drinks menu, where established ideas meet modern thinking, cocktail lovers are well looked after while a luxurious collection of spirits will appeal to the discerning and the adventurous alike. Cocktails are presented as a series or short stories, invoking the characters and events from Soho's heydays. Choose by the story that connects with you the most or simply skip to the list of ingredients for a staright up account of each drink. D.R.P. is a members’ bar but not in the conventional sense, bookings and walk-ins from non-members are most welcome!

We visited a while ago and was a memorable experience. The doorman was lovely as were the two waiters who served us downstairs. Drinks are £££ but that’s fine because keeps out the undesirables. Cocktails were great and the staff had no problem in advising us where to go next during our night out. Great for couples and small groups, place has a lovely feel.
