Ember Yard - Tapas & Cocktail Bar

You'll find yourself squeezed into Berwick Street—that brilliant stretch in Soho where things actually feel lived-in—and Ember Yard does what London does best when it's done properly: it nicks the best bits from elsewhere and makes them its own. The Spanish tapas aren't flashy or overstyled; they're just really well-executed, the kind of dishes that make you order more rounds. The cocktails come from actual people who know their stuff, and the whole room hums with that particular energy of somewhere that's become genuinely popular without losing the plot. Drinks run around £10-14, plates are sensibly priced for what you're getting, and the crowd is a proper mix—dates, groups, people who know what they're doing.
