"Located on Richmond’s dreamiest alley, So Bar is an intimate candlelit cocktail bar. It’s the kind of place you’re going to want to plan ahead and book a table at, although some space is set aside for walk-ins if a sudden urge for a stiff drink takes over. Their kitchen hosts regular residencies, so there’s always something good to eat, making it a perfect spot for a date. It’s even a quick hop skip and a jump away from Richmond Green in case sparks don’t fly and you want to disappear into the night." - puja bhattacharjee
