Simmons Bar Soho

Retro Retreat in Soho's Buzz

Nestled on Bateman Street amid Soho's electric streets, Simmons Bar transports visitors to a bygone era with its '90s living room aesthetic. Kitsch wallpaper patterns climb the walls, a prominent fireplace anchors the space, and an eccentric disco skull gleams under the lights. This two-story venue blends nostalgia with nightlife energy, offering a cozy counterpoint to the surrounding urban pulse. Neon signs flicker invitingly, drawing in those seeking a playful escape. The ground floor bar hums with activity, its decor evoking fond memories of vintage home gatherings. Upstairs, spaces cater to groups, while the top-level karaoke room channels pure 70s disco flair.

Cocktail Culture with a Twist

Simmons excels in approachable mixology, emphasizing value-driven drinks that fuel Soho adventures. Happy hour from 3pm to 8pm daily slashes prices on pairs of cocktails for £10, with teapots at £15 yielding four servings—ideal for sharing. Margarita Mondays extend the deal all night on classics, spicy variants, and Tommy’s styles. Signature punches like A Punch In The Head arrive in crystal skull vessels for groups of five, packed with overproof rum. Playful names such as Sex With A Lad, Golden Sour, and Long Island Iced Tea nod to unpretentious fun, served alongside prosecco bottles at £20 and shot bats for £20. Saturdays bring 2-for-1 cocktails from 3pm to 8pm, keeping the momentum high.

Multi-Level Party Spaces

The venue unfolds across floors designed for different vibes. Downstairs accommodates up to 120 in full hire, with a photobooth capturing neon-lit moments. The first-floor function room holds 60, featuring its own bar for private events. Crowning it all, the karaoke room fits 25, equipped with a working Smeg fridge, ice wells, seating, and disco ball lighting for belting out over 50,000 songs. This setup suits birthdays, celebrations, and casual nights out, with kitsch elements ensuring every corner feels photogenic and festive.

Soho Nightlife Rhythm

Operating from early afternoon into the early hours—12pm to midnight on weekends, 3pm starts weekdays—Simmons syncs with Soho's relentless energy. Its compact footprint encourages mingling, while the decade-spanning playlist keeps feet moving. From post-work unwind to pre-club fuel, the bar embodies the neighborhood's hedonistic spirit without pretension. Seasonal twists like Christmas menus with fairy lights and bottomless New Year's Eve extend its appeal year-round.
