Why teams end up here

The after-work round, done properly.

You can hear each other.

The default venue for team drinks is a loud pub where half the group is stuck holding coats. This is the opposite: a candlelit basement with table service, where the quiet ones actually join the conversation.

One person books, everyone just turns up.

Tables for four to fifteen book online in seconds, with no minimum spend and no pre-orders to chase around the office. Pick a date, send the calendar invite, done.

Midweek is our best night.

Tuesday to Thursday the room is at its most relaxed, and we're open until 1:30am, so a quick drink can turn into a long one without anywhere closing around you.

Three minutes from Oxford Circus.

8 Broadwick Street, behind a red door. Close enough that nobody peels off on the walk over, hidden enough that finding it feels like a small win.

Good to know

Team drinks in Soho, answered.

How do we book team drinks for a group?

Up to fifteen people, book a table online in seconds, with no minimum spend. For fifteen to forty, a reserved section of the bar takes a short enquiry.

Is there a minimum spend for team drinks?

Not for tables of up to fifteen. A semi-private section for fifteen to forty starts from £15 per person, and full venue hire starts from £2,000 minimum spend, for 50 to 110 guests.

Do we have to order food, or can we just drink?

Drinks are the point here. The list is built around handcrafted cocktails, with a full alcohol-free list at £11 and a short dessert menu if the night calls for it. Nothing is compulsory.

How late can the team stay?

Until 1:30am Tuesday to Saturday, and until midnight on Sunday and Monday. Most after-work groups arrive between 6pm and 8pm and stay well past the first round.

What if we want something more formal than drinks?

The bar area takes semi-private groups of fifteen to forty with a dedicated host, and the full venue takes 50 to 110 with AV, custom menus and lighting. If the team wants something to do rather than just drink, a cocktail masterclass runs two hours for £50 a head. See the corporate events page for formats and prices.

Where is the venue?

8 Broadwick Street, Soho, W1F 8HN. Three minutes' walk from Oxford Circus, five from Tottenham Court Road, seven from Piccadilly Circus. Look for the red door and head downstairs.
