Greetings! You, sir or madam, have stumbled upon one of London's clandestine treasures—the Arts Theatre Club. A veritable bastion of mixology mastery, This venerable establishment regales with a narrative rich in antiquity, harking back to a bygone era as an erstwhile illicit libation sanctuary and a playground frequented by the notorious Krays. The Arts, ensconced in history, stands as a bastion firmly tethered to London's theatrical and gangland heritage. Descending into the depths of this cocktail haven, one encounters a symphony of uniqueness, from libations served in porcelain vessels to an ambiance steeped in Bohemian charm, enhanced by the caress of soft, mood-setting illumination. The duality of this venue is unparalleled, morphing effortlessly from a daytime haven with mellifluous tunes, inviting patrons to luxuriate in conviviality, to a nocturnal den of metamorphosis. As night falls, the ambiance shifts, lighting dims to embrace a captivating serenity, and a DJ ensconced within a grand piano graces the scene. The auditory tapestry woven by the DJ spans the epochs, from the resounding echoes of the 80s, through the mellifluous cadence of the 90s, to the pulsating rhythms of the 00s, captivating a diverse audience. Requests dance on the lips of patrons as the venue transforms into a vibrant tapestry of revelry post 10pm. Lastly, the venerable bartenders, paragons of libation artistry, grace this establishment. Possessing an extensive reservoir of professional acumen, their affable nature ensures an unparalleled experience at the Arts Theatre Club. Allow me to proffer a humble suggestion for libation indulgence—might I recommend the Indian Summer or the venerable Margarita? Cheers
Celebrated a milestone birthday here with many out of town guests and locals. Everyone had a great time. The staff was attentive and friendly, the drinks were well made with quick service and a friendly and talented bar staff. Early in the evening the atmosphere was relaxed making it easy to enjoy a few drinks before the dj brought up the energy creating the best vibes for dancing and singing at the top of your lungs. A great location in Soho and the perfect spot for a night out to celebrate a special occasion or just to let loose and dance until your feet hurt. Highly recommended for a group or anyone wanting to get down in a first-rate venue with a friendly crowd and excellent service.
Went last night after the theatre for a couple of drinks and bloody loved it!! Stayed well too long for a school night but couldn’t pull myself away!! Great cocktails, really good bar staff and the music was brilliant. Was up dancing with a load of people we met on the nigbt! Will deffo be back for more fun!!
Have been here several times and usually have a great night. There has only been 1 night were the DJ played shocking music all evening but as this is unusual maybe he was a stand in last minute DJ ... it was the night the right hand ladies toilet was flooded and only 1 ladies in action all night! On my recent visit this Saturday there were a couple of large bookings that were a bit pushy on the dance floor aswell
Super cute little bar in Soho! The vibe is super nice with a dark interior and candles scattered across the place. The service is super kind and swift. The cocktails were very delicious!
My absolute favourite place in Soho. Great atmosphere, the staff are the BEST, brilliant music, lush cocktails. I have had great nights here over the years.
This is one of my favourite spots in London, such a hidden gem. It's got a swanky atmosphere that takes you back in time, there's always banging music playing - usually live DJ (every time I've been) and the staff are exceptionally friendly. Hands down, quality venue and I always can't wait to go back. I've brought many friends over the last few years and they're all in shock that they've not been before and absolutely love it.
Great bar in such a great location in Soho. They've currently got lots of outdoor seating in the newly pedestrianised street and it is the perfect place to soak up the sun and people watch. Their cocktails are delicious!
