"Closing time: 1am Monday and Tuesday, 2am Wednesday and Thursday, 3am Friday and Saturday, 10.30pm Sunday Behold, our favourite bar in Soho. From the team behind casual Indian spot Kricket, Soma is an achingly cool place meant for anyone who has abandoned Sean Paul-imposed tinnitus in pursuit of greater thrills, like London’s most lethally sippable bay leaf martini. Sometimes there’s a queue after midnight and it’s a small space so opt for somewhere else if you’re rolling with a group. Or pledge your allegiance to a Soma splinter group in the name of expert cocktails." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
