Thirst Bar Soho

You'll squeeze into Thirst and immediately feel the energy—it's the kind of packed-but-not-annoying Friday night where everyone's there because they want to be, not because they're doing the rounds. The bartenders move with purpose, no faffing about, and the drink list walks that sweet spot between classic serves and seasonal creativity that doesn't veer into show-off territory. Greek Street in Soho's always been a bit of a thoroughfare, but duck in here and you're suddenly in your own world, watching expert hands work spirits and bitters like they've got muscle memory for it.
