Flute

"Flute is like a film set, and the scene being shot each night is that of a filthy rich main character hosting a glamorous divorce party on the rooftop of their penthouse. Champagne is poured like sparkling water and make-out sessions happen on sofas shielded by trees on the wraparound terrace. It’s Patsy Stone reincarnated as a Soho rooftop cocktail bar. Take your chocolate bourbon, rhubarb, and Aperol number to one of the little nooks and soak in all the big profile picture potential. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

"Flute is Patsy Stone reincarnated as a Soho rooftop cocktail bar. We probably don’t need to say anything else about this very glam suntrap situation at the top of the Broadwick Soho hotel. But if you’re into details, expect an abundance of pink cushions, heavy champagne pours, and cocktails named ‘Cruella’. Really you’re here to drink, but you’ll find black truffle sandwiches, caviar, and steak tartare on the short but sweet bar food menu. You can also get involved in their 2024 Pride special called ‘Beautiful Thing’—Scott Neal stans, IYKYK. It’s a pink, lychee, and vodka cocktail, with all proceeds going to Not A Phase." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

"Flute is like a film set, and the scene being shot each night is that of a filthy rich main character hosting a glamorous divorce party on the rooftop of their penthouse. Champagne is poured like sparkling water, piles of pink cushions are dotted around, and ruched, coral curtains cocoon the gathering from any ugliness outside. It’s Patsy Stone reincarnated as a Soho rooftop cocktail bar. Even getting up here involves a glamorous gold lift from the ground floor of the Broadwick hotel reception. On grey days it’s best to stay ensconced in the lavish indoor bar, slamming delicious cocktails—like a chocolate bourbon, rhubarb, and Aperol number—and cheering on the regular rotation of gospel choirs and acoustic sets that take to the sequinned stage. But when the weather's good, take your cocktail outside to the wraparound terrace. It’s got fluffy trees to shield you from other tables, views of the London skyline, and big profile picture potential. Just don’t bother with the food which is pretty forgettable and pricey. photo credit: Flute photo credit: Flute photo credit: Flute" - Sinéad Cranna

"Flute, the rooftop bar at London's Broadwick Soho hotel, features a bold pattern-on-pattern design and playful cocktails. The venue is dimly lit and has a lively atmosphere, with an outdoor terrace that becomes a social hotspot in good weather. The drink to order is the 'Eyes Wide Shut,' with aquavit, blood orange, cardamom, sherry, lemon, and bitters."
