Bar Termini

"Bar Termini is a very good bar to know, mostly because the cocktails are excellent and there’s always a bumping atmosphere that’s apt for the area. The bartenders wear aprons, so you can bet they’re serious about mixing you a nice drink, and there’s a dedicated Negroni menu you should definitely order from. (In case you get peckish, go for little plates of posh Italian ham and cheese.) The downside is that it’s ridiculously popular and can feel cramped, but as long as you treat it as a warm-up act rather than the place you’re settling into for the whole evening, you’ll have a great time." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"The cocktail menu at Bar Termini is short, sharp, sweet, and sometimes pleasantly bitter. Home to one of London’s best Negronis, this undeniably classy espresso and cocktail bar knows how to do the classics with an Italian swagger. In case you’re currently picturing a bellini in a Ferrari, let us just confirm that by ‘Italian swagger’ we mean the classics done with confidence. Eye-watering bloody marys, your quintessential summer spritz with a hearty dose of prosecco, all served in a simple, charming bar on Old Compton Street. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager

"When it comes to negronis, Bar Termini doesn’t mess about. For starters, the staff at this tiny Soho bar wear old-school white server jackets and anyone who has attempted to get a red vermouth stain out knows that is true bravery. The house negroni is served sans ice but oh-so icy for a proper short, sharp dose of Italian class. FYI you can also buy a bottle of the house negroni to take home with you. " - heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager

"Named after Rome's train station, Bar Termini brings a touch of 1950s Italy to the Streets of Soho. Open all day serving a mix of traditional Italian coffees, aperitifs, and digestif alongside a selection of small plates and salumi."

"Spend it in Soho at Bar Termini, one of London’s best bars, where a house Negroni costs ~$7.50."
