“ Great looking place and nice atmosphere for a lunchtime slot. Very well maintained and attentive staff and food very good quality and value for money. Would highly recommend. ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Soak in London, and it was one of those experiences that lingers—in all the right ways. First off, I have to talk about the London Booth Bloody Mary. I’ve had my fair share of Bloody Mary's in this city, but this one was on a whole other level. Bold, perfectly spiced, and with a depth that only comes from thoughtful mixing. It wasn’t just a cocktail—it was practically a meal in a glass. And the dessert? Absolutely divine. I went for the baked Alaska with lemon cream —and it was the perfect finish to the meal. You could tell real care went into it—from the presentation to the balance of flavors. It was one of those desserts where you slow down just to make it last longer. The atmosphere at The Soak was equally on point—laid-back, stylish, and welcoming. Highly recommend it—especially if you're in the mood for a killer Bloody Mary and a dessert that makes you smile all the way home. ”

“ This is my little piece of heaven. I stopped by after work one evening. I did feel a little out of place. However, the staff are amazing, very friendly, and welcoming. I was escorted to the lovely lounge bar by Antonio, the manager, i had a classic margarita, and it was mixed to perfection, in fact it's the best margarita I've had in a long while. I enjoy tequila and started chatting to Antonio about it, who then proceeded to make me a mezcal sour, from scratch. It was a fabulous evening, I've been back again and was treated beautifully, again, with wonderful service and lovely staff. I will be taking my daughter there for birthday cocktails on Friday evening. Update 17/03/25 I took my daughter on Friday 14th March, it was her 20th birthday. Antonio and his amazing team were wonderful. He had put balloons on our table. She was given a lovely piece of cake with a sparkler and a glass of fizz. She was treated to Antonio's 5 star service, along with all the wonderful servers and expert bar tender, to make her evening very special. This is my most favourite place in the whole of London because it doesn't have to be a special occasion for Antonio and his amazing team to make you feel special. ”
“ The Clermont Hotel is in London’s Victoria Station. It contains bars and restaurants very handy if you want to be near your train departure or if you’re waiting for someone to arrive. The Soak Bar is where we decided to go. We were looked after so well by the staff. Our table wasn’t near anyone else and we were attentively waited upon. We shared a bottle of wine and some dinner. They have Ping Pong dim sum and it was excellent. The fried chicken balls were the hit of the evening. They play music in the bar, but it isn’t that intrusive. Lively atmosphere and we had a lovely time. When it came time to leave, we went to the Victoria Station exit and caught our trains with time to spare. ”
“ Edmond and Manni are great, polite, and friendly, but Antonio ensured everything was perfect on our multiple visits. Smoked old fashioned was perfect, Godfather made with Blue Label was smooth as silk, wife’s strawberry daiquiris were made to perfection and my daughter enjoyed her Shirley Temple. Food is phenomenal. ”
