Dropped in at Alphabet bar after a shopping trip in the area and was pleasantly surprised to see it’s had a refurbishment since the last time I was there (must have been Oct/Nov 2010). Each floor almost gives off a different vibe. Upstairs has a slightly more classy feel. They’ve added more tables; a lot better for sitting down to eat in my opinion. Downstairs still has the old alphabet homeliness feel with big comfy sofas and cool graffiti on the wall. Still haven’t tried the food myself but the people on the table next to us seemed to be enjoying it.

Since its launch in 1997, Alphabet Bar has been a defining venue that helped establish the modern London bar scene, always a favourite Soho hangout, it provides a laid back contemporary atmosphere that is perfect for the workers and residents of Soho.
Refurbished with love in January 2011 it’s now ready for its next exciting stage.
By day Alphabet creates a friendly and relaxing environment in which to enjoy freshly prepared food, stop for a coffee or have a cheeky drink, by night Alphabet winds up and is ready to party.
