Sotto Bar Soho

You know that feeling when you descend into a proper basement bar and suddenly the noise of Great Marlborough Street just melts away? Sotto delivers exactly that. This is the cocktail sibling to Bocconcino upstairs, and it's got that deliberate, unfussy Italian energy that makes you want to linger over a Negroni for far longer than you'd planned. The space has character without trying too hard—exactly what Soho does best when it's not being completely overrun by tourists. Staff actually know what they're talking about, which makes a genuine difference when you're ordering a drink.
