Not satisfied being one of the best areas to go out in London, Soho is making sure you can live the Champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget. Around the neighbourhood you'll find a wealth of affordable bars and restaurants promising happy hour bargains and cocktail deals aplenty. Read on to find out the best places for cheap drinks in Soho.




Comptons, Soho

Boasting a buzzing atmosphere every single day of the week, Compton's is a Soho institution that's been around since 1986. This lively gay bar offers everything from Thursday pub quizzes to lively nights out, with a cracking drinks menu to boot.

You can enjoy £20 bottles of wine and cheap beer or cider, alongside scrumptious British dishes such as bangers and mash or fish and chips.

La Familia

An affordable cocktail bar on Poland Street, La Familia is a vibrant, two-storey venue that's full of Latin American spirit. This space is split into an upstairs taqueria and a cool basement bar, with an eclectic mix of decor.

Expect late-night DJs downstairs, or head up for a wide range of tequilas and tasty plates. We're talking pork skin bites, birria beef tacos and warm churros.
