If you’re a fan of the cocktails at Kricket, next time you’re at the Soho or Canary Wharf restaurants be sure to head next door to their cocktail bar SOMA. Named after the Hindu Moon God, SOMA is a modern take on the speakeasy, with most of the space set aside for walk-ins and a closing time of 3am at the weekends (it’s 1am in Canary Wharf). Both bars are minimalist in decor but with statement bars, like the 9-metre-long stainless steel bar in Soho, where the bar team shake up drinks inspired by the Indian subcontinent. The cocktail list makes use of seasonal ingredients and spices whilst still sticking to a ‘less is more’ ethos, so you can expect drinks like Gooseberry Chaat Margarita (tequila, mezcal, gooseberry salt & chaat masala), a Coconut & Jaggery Old Fashioned (bourbon, jaggery, coconut & mace bitters) and Pickled Mooli Martini (vodka, curry leaf vermouth & lightly pickled mooli).
