Swift Soho

Description

Located on Old Compton Street, Swift brings an elegant and grown-up cocktail offering, combined with the welcoming friendliness of a local bar. Taking inspiration from the European class of bar where a quick drink marks the end of the day or the beginning of the night, Swift sits effortlessly between a local pub and a reservation only bar, swooping in to join the cultural hub of central Soho.

With strong European apertivo vibes, it's the perfect spot for a quick Sgroppino between West End shows or a catch up with colleagues over champagne. Visitors who wish to linger a little longer can head to the Downstairs Bar to relax with an atmosphere and drinks list expertly curated to reflect a slower, more languid pace. Built for decadent comfort, with art deco sofas, table service and a drinks list that inclines more towards a darker spirit, guests can enjoy traditional serves with a contemporary twist. Since its inception in 2016 Swift has won a plethora of awards including #30 Best Bar in the World at World’s 50 Best Bars 2022, among many others.

Alongside the mixed drink offering, a refined Whisky Library showcasing a range of interesting but affordable drams will be on offer. Specially trained bartenders will be on hand to guide guests through the extensive list and live piano music will provide a harmonious backdrop throughout weekend nights.
