“ The drinks are so interesting, each one of them delicious. Interior is so pretty and charming. Service is really nice. Classic drinks are also available but I recommend trying out some of their variations. ”
“ I haven't eaten in Swift so sadly I can't rate their food. My wife and I are really big on cocktails and have a tick list which includes cocktail bars and labs stretching from NYC to Singapore. We booked a table in Swift Soho's downstairs bar a few months ago to try their cocktails. We discovered an impressively imaginative cocktail list and a seriously friendly and skilled mixologist. We worked our way through far more of the list than we probably should have (always a good sign). However we couldn't help noticing the huge number of Irish Coffees being constructed at the other end of the bar, literally tray after tray of Irish Coffees. Obviously we had to try one which then turned into trying a couple more just in case the first was a fluke. Swift Soho has, very possibly, the best Irish Coffee in the world, real 'eyes roll back in your head' good, extraordinarily good, ridiculously good, indescribably good. Fast forward to 'St Patrick's Day Weekend' - I don't like Guinness and definitely don't like that insult to cocktails 'Baby Guinness'. Unfortunately my wife was working that weekend but I convinced my son that it would definitely be in his best interests to take a train up from the Sussex coast to help me drink Irish Coffee in Swift Soho. He did and the Irish Coffee was just as good if not better than the first time (anticipation). So 'Swift Soho' - excellent cocktails, even better Irish Coffee. ”
“ Came with a reservation but showed up quite early. Their cocktail menu is beautiful, I wish they sold copies of it! The drinks are very high quality and have a good variety across various styles. The Bogart was great, both smoky but with some peachy sweetness that worked so well together. The Imperial Gimlet is a great choice if you like sour-style cocktails It’s bit of a louder, crowded place but still classy. ”
“ Had an absolutely fantastic evening at Bar Swift in Soho! The drinks were top-notch – expertly crafted, beautifully balanced, and full of character. The service was flawless: attentive, friendly, and genuinely professional. You can tell the team here is passionate about what they do. If you’re in London and looking for exceptional cocktails in a great atmosphere, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ STUNNING. I would give 6 stars if I could! I'm going to be dead honest when I say, I thought this place was going to stink. I'd seen the press, and heard the chatter, and figured it was just going to be yet another trendy craft cocktail bar that is more style than substance. Let me first say how absolutely, utterly wrong I was. I had chosen this spot for a quick one-off before going elsewhere. I think we stayed for... 3 rounds? 4? I lost count, we were having such an incredible time. (We did have dinner plans for real.) Loved it. The atmosphere was marvellous. No pretentious hosts or bartenders. Other patrons all seemed to be chill and happy. The place is gorgeous. The upstairs and downstairs are like two different worlds, but somehow both are amazing. I grabbed a spot at the bar downstairs and it was the best choice. Our bartender was simply fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, quick, and skilled. Best of all worlds, really. Each cocktail was really well-balanced, and while a few leaned to the sweet side a bit too much for my partner, none were too over the top. To me, it's a mark of achievement to make a drink based on a humbug and not have it cloyingly, sickly sweet. It was smooth and lucious without being obnoxiously gimmicky. And strong. I like strong. In England, getting strong cocktails can be a bit of a wild goose chase, but here, the pours are solid. I was so impressed by the quality of every drink. The absolute best bit was at the end, the bartender gave us a small taste of their famous Irish coffee. I hadn't wanted to order one because, I mean, how good could it possibly be? It's just an Irish coffee and I assumed the hype was overblown. It isn't. It is honestly the most spectacular Irish coffee I've had in my life. In all honesty, I've had a lot of bad ones, so the bar is low, but this was something on another level. People aren't kidding when they say to order this. Excellent, excellent visit and I can't wait to return again. (And please, our biggest thanks to the bartender! Please tell him he is amazing! (I wish I could remember his name but he's in one of my photos.) ”
“ Great aperitif bar! We loved all cocktails (tried 4 different kinds). They were all nicely balanced and not overly complicated (just the way you want your aperitif to be). For those, who love gin based drinks with fresh touch, I’d definitely recommend ‘Kew Gardens’. Attentive service, good atmosphere. I was there on Monday evening with 4 friends and we managed to get seats without booking. Guess we were lucky) I’d definitely suggest to book for companies over 4 people. Safe to say, this bar do belongs in top500bars of the world. ”
“ This is the place! I was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar downstairs. Diego was absolutely amazing at making drinks and having a conversation at the same time, what a pleasure to witness him describe many different whiskeys to a fellow punter. I was very happy to follow his recommendations, all my cocktails were spot on and so so delicious. You must try the Irish coffee! Great playlist, too, overall fantastic vibes. ”
“ Bartenders are very knowledgeable, drinks are wonderful. Upstairs is very light and bright, downstairs is lovely and dark. Cocktail menu has clearly been developed over time and the Irish Coffee definitely rates up there. ”
