Discover more about Cahoots London
A Hidden World Beneath Soho
Cahoots London transports visitors to a bygone era, nestled beneath the bustling streets of Carnaby in Soho. The bar occupies the site of a forgotten underground station, originally built as an air raid shelter during World War II. Descending into the venue, guests are greeted by vintage signage, retro furnishings, and dim lighting that evoke the spirit of 1940s London. Every detail, from the newspaper-style menus to the themed cocktails, is designed to immerse visitors in a nostalgic, theatrical experience unlike any other in the city.Immersive Atmosphere and Themed Cocktails
The atmosphere at Cahoots is energetic and playful, with staff dressed in period costumes and a soundtrack that enhances the vintage vibe. The bar is renowned for its creative cocktails, each with a unique name and presentation inspired by the era. Drinks are often delivered through pneumatic tubes or in quirky containers, adding to the sense of fun and novelty. The decor is a highlight, with vintage knick-knacks, authentic signage, and clever touches that make the space feel like a hidden gem from another time.Food and Service Experience
While Cahoots is primarily a cocktail bar, it does offer a limited food menu, typically featuring simple snacks and sandwiches. Reviews suggest that the food is not the main draw, with some guests finding it underwhelming compared to the drinks and atmosphere. Service can be inconsistent, with some visitors praising the friendly staff while others report slow service or communication issues. The venue is popular, so booking in advance is recommended, especially on weekends or during peak hours.Visitor Tips and Practicalities
The dim lighting, while atmospheric, can make it challenging to read menus, so bringing a phone torch is a good idea. The bar is best suited for those seeking a unique night out rather than a full meal. Prices are on the higher side, reflecting the immersive experience and central location. The venue is accessible to most visitors, with no stairs required to enter, but the underground setting may not be suitable for those with claustrophobia. Cahoots is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, making it a great choice for a memorable evening in London.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
