Sultry basement bar serving inventive Indian-inspired cocktails
"Soma has an inauspicious exterior—an unmarked door and a bouncer—that descends into a cool metallic bunker of 007 nature. The impressive oval bar acts as a giant sharing table and there’s a short but excellent list of remixed, and sometimes even improved, takes on classic cocktails like the enticing kumquat zing of the mezcal margarita. It’s open until the early hours and if you’re in a group, there are a couple of very elite-feeling rooms that look out onto the bar." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"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 a mezcal, coffee cherry vermouth, and burnt cashew-loaded Negroni. 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
"Soma is our favorite bar in Soho. It has a lot in common with this area’s other popular drinking dens: it’s underground, it’s relatively small, and it’s got well-dressed clientele. But the thing that sets Soma apart are the smoky, inventive takes on classic cocktails. It’s from the people behind Indian restaurant Kricket and you can expect remixes like a Negroni with burnt cashew, and a thandai butter take on an espresso martini. Everything from the long bar to the early hours closing time makes leaving impossible. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"A sultry basement bar in Soho is never not a good thing, but Soma always exceeds expectations. It has an inauspicious exterior—an unmarked door and a bouncer—that descends into a cool metallic bunker of 007 nature. The impressive oval bar acts as a giant sharing table for guests to choose from Soma’s short but excellent list of remixed, and sometimes even improved, takes on classic cocktails. It’s open until the early hours from Monday to Saturday and, if you’re in a group, there are a couple of very elite-feeling rooms that look out onto the bar." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
"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
