Just this month, London welcomed one of its newest and swankiest bars: The 411. Situated in the center of Angel, the bar exudes New York City SoHo vibes with an exciting list of events alongside resident vinyl DJs. Serving delicious food and creative drinks, The 411 brings the lively energy of SoHo to the tables.

An extensive cocktail list includes fun concoctions featuring American bourbons and whiskeys, as well as classic cocktails, craft beers (including American craft beers) and a curated list of wines. Cocktails include the elegant espresso martini and cosmopolitan, as well as house tipples like Americano IPA (Bonanto Aperitivo, Antica Formula and Camden Pale Ale) and Lychee & Blueberry Daisy (Absolut Vodka, rosé wine, lychee, lemon and blueberries).

 

Dishes draw inspiration from The Big Apple’s restaurant scene, with a lengthy sandwich menu offered during lunchtime (think po’boys, Reubens, Philly cheesesteaks and meatball subs) and all-day options like tasty pizzas, burgers and salads. On weekends, enjoy a fun brunch with classics like eggs Benedict, French toast and waffles, as well as bottomless pizza and picantés on Saturdays.

Accompanying a vibrant food and beverage program, guests sit within a space inspired by timeless Manhattan lofts, complete with exposed brick, bare concrete finishes, oversized artwork and statement furniture. Natural light bathes the space thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all, including large parties for those extra-special celebrations.
