Simmons Bar | Greek Street

You're on Greek Street in the heart of Soho, surrounded by the neighbourhood's particular chaos of tourists and locals hunting for a decent drink. Simmons doesn't announce itself loudly—just a discreet entrance that regulars know to find. Inside, the bar has that lived-in feel of somewhere that's been doing this right for years: dark wood, proper glassware, bartenders who actually know what they're doing. They'll make you a classic or something off-menu if you ask nicely, and the whole thing feels refreshingly unpretentious for Soho. It's the kind of place you stumble into after work or deliberately seek out when you want a cocktail that won't taste like it was made by an algorithm.
