Rooms By The Hour opens 17:00

You'll find yourself on Bateman Street in the heart of Soho, stepping into something that feels more like a carefully curated experience than your standard cocktail bar. The whole setup—the name, the aesthetic, the approach—has a knowing wink to it, but what matters is that the drinks are genuinely excellent. The bartenders here actually know what they're doing, mixing with technique rather than theatre, though there's definitely personality in the room. It's the kind of place where you'll want to come back, whether you're a cocktail obsessive or just after something better than the usual Soho tourist traps.
