Cahoots

A fully committed 1940s Underground-station bar in Soho — luggage racks, wartime announcements, staff in character, the works — where the immersion is the whole experience. The cocktails are theatrical to match, arriving in milk bottles and tins and whatever else the theme demands; embrace it or stay home. Book for the experience, and aim for midweek when it is easier to get in. The actors and staff hold character throughout, which is either delightful or exhausting depending on your mood — go when you are ready to play along, because half-hearted is the only wrong way to do it.
