Cahoots Underground is such a unique experience! The atmosphere is incredible from the moment you walk in, with amazing 1940s-themed décor and live entertainment that really makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The cocktails were creative and delicious, the food was great, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and full of energy. Everything was well thought out, making it a fun and memorable night out. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London and can’t wait to come back!

Cahoots is one of the most unique cocktail bars in London. Inspired by the atmosphere of post-World War II London, every detail from the décor to the music and the staff’s style makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The cocktails are incredibly creative, both in presentation and flavor, and the whole venue is packed with character. There is often live music, which adds even more energy and authenticity to the experience. One of the things I loved most is that each room has its own personality. In one area, you feel as if you’re sitting inside a vintage London Underground carriage, while another offers a more refined and sophisticated setting for drinks. It’s worth exploring the different spaces rather than staying in just one. The atmosphere is lively, fun, and effortlessly cool, making it an excellent place for a night out with friends or a memorable date. If you’re looking for more than just a cocktail bar and want an experience full of personality, Cahoots is an absolute must when you’re in Soho.

Amazing atmosphere, beautiful décor, and lovely staff. We stopped by for cocktails, and although they weren’t quite as good as I had expected, the presentation was absolutely stunning. Overall, it’s a great place with a fantastic vibe, and the service made the experience even more enjoyable.

Super cool, quirky and quaint place...all rolled into one! loved the atmosphere and vibe! they have carried the theme througout the space/decor! The live music by a duo was much fun , they took requests as well. Its got many interesting niches for seating. The small bites we ordered were all yummy! loved the spiced tortilla chips and the squid! Even the sausage on a stick and mushroom on toast were very good! The drinks were well made, the cahooch old fashioned had an enhanced flavour! The staff was welcoming , warm and friendly! We will surely be back! Thanks for a great time!
