Cahoots is committed to its concept: a Soho basement made up to look like a 1940s post-war disused London Underground station. Vintage signage, original Tube tiles, working ticket booth, swing band most weekends. Touristy but thoroughly committed to the bit.
The cocktails are vintage-themed and well made. The drinks reference the wartime era and pour slightly larger than the typical Soho cocktail. The Black Market is a signature.
The crowd is mid-twenties and thirties tourists, hen parties, and themed-bar enthusiasts. Best for one visit, with a sense of humour. Pair with Swift for a more focused Soho cocktail evening.
