Alfie’s Soho

London

Alfie's Soho is a live-jazz club and bar on the second floor of a townhouse on Greek Street in London's Soho. It is technically members-only, and Food & Wine describes it as barely a year old.

Food & Wine ranks Alfie's Soho No. 5 in its Global Tastemakers 2026 list of the best global bars. The magazine calls it the "beating heart of London's live jazz scene" and praises a drinks list designed to support the music rather than compete with it.

Guests can hear swing, bebop or blues, often played on the bar's grand piano. The short cocktail list centres on a house martini, a bourbon-ginger highball and a British Bramble. Non-members can buy tickets for single visits, while membership covers more than 1,000 live performances a year.
