The Vault, Underground cocktail bar in Soho, London, United Kingdom.
The Vault is an underground cocktail bar located in Soho, London, accessed through a concealed entrance hidden behind a bookshelf. The interior features exposed brick, vintage lighting, and antique furnishings arranged to create an intimate basement setting.
The building housing this bar also contains the world's oldest whisky shop, established in 1964, and the basement retains original architectural features from that era. This layering of different time periods reflects the evolving history of the location.
The bar draws from speakeasy traditions, serving handcrafted cocktails prepared by skilled bartenders who follow classic recipes and use quality ingredients. Visitors experience a social ritual of discovery, entering through concealment rather than walking through an obvious doorway.
The bar is open Monday through Saturday from 5 PM onward and maintains a business casual dress code while accepting major credit cards. Due to its popularity and limited capacity, booking ahead is recommended to secure a table.
Access requires passing through a hidden door concealed behind a bookshelf, adding an element of discovery to the visit. This unexpected entry transforms the experience into something more memorable than a straightforward visit to a regular establishment.
