Specialties: “BIG THINGS are happening at Thirst. We are having a refit (about time too!). The whole venue will be closed from 21st Sept and open again on Tues 1st Oct” Established in 2002. We are a friendly, fun and independently owned late night cocktail bar that have been serving fantastic cocktails in the heart of Soho since 2002.
Split over two floors with a two station cocktail bar on each; The ground floor is light, airy with easy access to the street for ‘al fresco’ drinking.
Downstairs we have a snug boothed VIP area available for party reservations free of charge. DJ’s are on nightly from 9pm and our dance floor is always bumping late into the night.
Specialties: We Specialise in Afternoon Tea’s, Cocktails, Tea, Cake & Gin! Established in 2010. Kristie & Coralie met on their first day of secondary school and have been friends ever since. One spring time afternoon spent discussing what would really make them happy…
Kristie wanted to have a place where everything was pretty and all those pretty things were for sale. Where you could have tea, cake, crumpets or cocktails whilst playing scrabble and above all an old fashioned sweet shop!
Coralie wanted a shop full of beautiful things from local designers but not a stuffy one where you couldn’t touch anything. One where people could have a drink and a laugh and maybe do a bit of colouring in or something vaguely crafty.
Dreams combined; we opened the ‘Christmas Cooler’ as a Pop-up, and 7 months later we have ‘Drink, Shop & Do’.
Specialties: We specialise in great English breakfasts and classic fish & chips, steaks & burgers for dinner. Kitchen open 9am till 11pm. Delicious cocktails 2-4-1 each night in the Cafe 4.30pm till 7.30pm & 8pm till 10pm in The Club. Cafe remains open till midnight, 7 days a week.

Hire the Wine Bar, Shackleton Room, Club or Gallery for private parties. “There is always something going on at The Troubadour….” Established in 1954. The Troubadour was started by Michael and Sheila Van Bloemen who created an unique and vibrant business with the original Troubadour Club in the basement. Bruce Rogerson took over the helm from 1972 to 1998 and retained the atmosphere, decoration and traditions.
Simon & Susie Thornhill increased it in size, taking over the fish and chip shop next door for a larger cafe and club and turning Encounter Overland on the other side into an award winning Wine Shop and Bar.
The legendary Troubadour Club in the basement hosted such great musicians as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in the 60s and more recently Adele, Jesse J, Laura Marling and Jamie T. Live music gigs take place at least 5 nights a week – you may see the stars of tomorrow playing here today!
