Sophies was one of the best things happened during our London trip. 3 visits in 5 days, it's seriously THAT good.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a cool bar on our first night in London and we stomped on Sophies. I instantly liked the vibe when we got in - music was good, people were happy, it was full of live. It's got a huge bar in the center, tables and lounge chairs on both sides surrounded with plants and flowers! I got two cocktails and tried my bf's drinks too, all were super tasty. Bar tenter knew we were visiting so he suggested a bunch of places for us to visit - talking about British hospitality! Love the ambience too, candlelight and dimmed lights.
We went back two days later as we couldn't stop talking about it. This time we discovered: 1) Sophies is actually a restaurant, the bar (huge) we sat in the first night is just the bar for the restaurant, which is owned by Robert De Niro!! And 2) it's got this secretive club downstairs that not many people know about, apparently you'll only be told if the bartenders like you, and luckily we were liked! :) The next thing you know we were sipping on more cocktails and dancing our hearts out in this underground club, music was great too, and if you like people watching - boy there were SO many interesting characters there, but every single one was having so much fun. Even to this day I still vividly remember what an epic night that was.
Then fast forwarding to our last night in London, hmm where should we have our last dinner? Sophies of course! We went for their famously known prime rib (see photos!!!), accompanied by a bottle of good wine. Man they delivered 200% - presentation, taste, service, 5 stars all around!
Sophies is where magic happens, DO NOT miss this place if you're in London!!
