We came here for the swing music and the experience. Cahoots usually has a long queue but we got lucky and managed to get in 5 mins. The place is built like a metro station, everyone who works there is a fun and the music makes you want to dance. Cocktails were nice, recommend Rita Hayworth!

Review: I would recommend trying to book and try to get the carriage seat if you can as this is a themed 1940’s Underground station and it looks great from the staircase down to the cloak room (themed as ticket hall) and then to the bar. It is always busy with queues for walk-ins but staff from the start are friendly and helpful. Dont expect a large menu for food however as there are only a handful of dishes. There is however a very large Alcoholic drinks menu with special drinks written on a 1940’s style newspaper and all created for that era so very clever but they also have a small selection of mock-tails and bar staff are well versed to make anything you wish as they are real mixologists.
Location: 13 Kingly Court, Carnaby Street, Soho, W1B 5PW
Parking: There is an NCP car park in Soho but this will be a little walk away and this is in Kingley court to the side just opposite the back entrance of Cinnamon Soho.
Decor & Lighting: Perfectly themed and done well with dull but adequate lighting.
Ambience & Acoustics: Authentic background music. With all staff wearing themed clothing as well so it really adds to the ambience.
DB Level: Sorry i forgot to take a reading but i did not have to shout and could hear conversations without too much of an issue.
We had the following:
Drinks: Large selection on offer with a few mock-tails as well as bar staff being able to mix anything you desire, i had them make their own non-alcoholic drink for me. The drinks are also prepared in different ways and glasses so it is a real experience.
Food: Fish Finger Sandwiches, Pork and Sage Sausage Rolls. Not large dishes but filling and tasted good. I preferred the sausage rolls which were really meaty and tasted great.
Bill / Cost: £30 per head for two plates and 2 drinks
Conclusion: A great place for an office party or a get together as its different but well done and not tacky. With such friendly staff and good level of service this really in my opinion is better than going to a bar where the music is too loud and where you are not served without grabbing attention then being charged over the odds…or maybe this is me just getting old…I would however suggest they get a bigger food menu.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.0
Super cosy place with amazing drinks. When we went there were a band playing live music, Gatsby inspired. I would totally recommend to have a drink there when in London
