Came here for some drinks with my partner and found my new favourite bottle of whiskey.
This is the Swift Soho, there are two floors; the downstairs bar is reservations only and serves more exquisite, complex drinks; the upstairs bar is more chill, walk-in and more rowdy.
We booked a few days in-advance and sat downstairs. We had several cocktails and they were special but not out of the world.
However, the whiskey collection they had and the service we received were excellent. I was asking the waiter for some whiskey recommendations and he gave me two options. He even let me try a small sample of each to help me decide which one to get. It was truly a great experience and we will come back for the amazing atmosphere and service!

Amazing cocktails and very kind staff. Fun vibes and not pretentious at all.
Everybody kept ordering Irish coffees. I enjoyed the vodka mixes and backstage.
Get downstairs if you can. They have a pianist!

Best Irish coffee in town ! And with a vegan option available as well.
Martha on the floor was fantastic, bar staff friendly and helpful. Honestly refreshing to go somewhere in soho that doesn’t have a staffing that is burned, short or that lost faith in genuine hospitality.
Keep it up guys. 🙌

Lovely bar in the middle of soho. Fantastic cocktails are reasonable prices (£11-£14 each) for the area. Particularly enjoyed the Green Room cocktail.
The staff were attentive and pleasant as well.

Amazing drinks! I would definitely give 5 stars for the drinks. One of the best cocktails in central London:) I’ve been to here many times and all the cocktails are absolutely tasty and nice presented.
- Friendly and warm services in the beginning by two staffs ( A lady and a guy with curly hair) 5 out of 5 services by them :)
- Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the service at last few minutes. We were group of 4 people and each of us had 2 cocktails. We were informed to go up to the G floor where we can finish our drinks after we finished the payment - and we actually moved even tho there’s only tiny lil drinks left in our cups) We totally understand that the time limit for a busy Friday night. We tried our best to finish our drinks ASAP on the G floor, stood closely to a empty table - But we’ve informed again by a tall, rude, male staff with short hair that we have to move finish the drinks closely to the entrance :)

The swift Irish coffee is to die for. Right blend of sweet, spice, booze, cream and coffee. The old fashioned is slightly on the sweet side but very good and a great chilled temperature. Highly recommend either drink. The spend per person is based on one drink.
This is a very nice bar located in the heart of Soho. We were lucky to find space for two on a Friday night around 9 PM. They're renowned for their exceptional Irish Coffee, but all the other cocktails are definitely worth a try. In particular, the sweet cocktails are expertly blended, based on our experience.
The chili rice crackers and smoky snack mix are tasty nibbles that complement the drinks, adding a satisfying crunch and a bit of fullness if you're hungry. At the end of our visit, they even brought us two tiny glasses of Irish Coffee as a kind gesture, which was a lovely touch.

Great atmosphere here and friendly, quick service. The bar is over two floors. The cocktail I tried was outstanding. Had the chameleon which was as good as I’ve had for a long while. Prices at £15 and with an additional 12.5% service charge. Enjoyed this quick treat.
