Gem Bar Soho

By Lucy Acton

Soho is a seriously cool part of London home to theatres, shops, an array of bars and restaurants and edgy individuals. If you think you’re cool (on Kylie and Kendall Jenner level) then you’ve got to head down there and one place you have to visit is Gem Bar. 

Located in the heart of Soho, this fabulous bar offers a luxurious surrounding to eat and drink in. Whether it’s after work drinks (oh how cosmopolitan of you…) or a late night clubbing experience, Gem Bar is truly a gem. Based over two floors, Gem is all about curved leather booths and dramatic chandeliers, sort of similar to Jonny Allen’s club ‘Scarlet’ back in 2006 Eastenders, but classier. With DJ’s throughout the week and weekend, this is the perfect place to head after dark. 

The best thing about this place is that as well conquering in the land of cocktails, they also master food. With hearty mains and a choice of light bites, there’s something for everyone. From the meat eating hunk, to the fish hating whinger, the menu will surely get your taste buds tingling and you can even wash it down with a tantalising drink. Happy Hour is also between 5pm – 7pm (dinner time) so you may as well kill two birds with one stone. Kate Moss once said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Well we’re guessing that Pete Doherty never took her to happy hour at Gem Bar… 
 

Everyone needs a little help in hand from time to time, and this bar helps you party. Book onto a cocktail masterclass and whip up a storm behind the bar, or book a party package and party the night away in the style of *enter favourite celebrity’s name here*. Gem Bar must be massive fans of 50 cent too as they, ‘party like it’s your birthday’ majorly. Okay we’ll stop now… Your birthday is all about you, (isn’t every day?!) Book a table for your Birthday and you’ll be treated to a complimentary meal, a Champagne reception PLUS a Birthday surprise! Woah don’t get your knickers in a twist…
