"This sultry little basement spot in Soho is a destination for anyone who likes to cosplay being a James Bond villain, plus the cocktails are outstanding. It’s alchemy via the medium of curry leaf vermouth, coconut milk, and a burnt cashew-loaded Negroni (that’s one of the best versions of the drink in London). Soma’s short cocktail list remixes—nay, improves—the classics and serves them around one enormous shimmering silver central bar." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
