Backstage Soho brings theatrical glamour to the heart of London's entertainment district, occupying an upstairs space on Rupert Street. This intimate lounge bar and restaurant sits perfectly positioned in the vibrant West End, literally on the borders of Soho and Chinatown, next door to The Palomar, making it an ideal spot for pre-theatre dining or late-night revelry.
London's newest lounge bar for the creative and the curious, Backstage Soho creates an atmosphere where West End glamour meets Soho nightlife. The venue comes alive Thursday to Saturday from 5pm to 1am, offering sensational guest DJs to show-stopping live vocals and piano sessions in what they describe as an intimate, theatrical lounge setting.
The culinary experience is brilliantly curated through their partnership with Long Chim Modern Bangkok, the celebrated Thai restaurant located directly downstairs. From spicy small plates to flavour-packed mains, every bite is designed to dazzle, bringing the bold and vibrant flavours of modern Bangkok cuisine to complement the theatrical atmosphere. The menu showcases contemporary Thai dishes that are both sophisticated and exciting, such as crispy chicken skin, aubergine satay, sticky lamb ribs and grilled octopus.
The drinks programme matches the culinary ambition with expertly crafted bespoke cocktails, fine wines, or a chilled Thai beer, perfectly suited to the venue's theatrical theme. The intimate setting accommodates up to 60 seated or 120 standing, making it perfect for everything from date nights to celebrations.
What sets Backstage Soho apart is its unique positioning in London's dining scene – it's not just a restaurant but a complete entertainment experience. The venue captures the essence of Soho's creative spirit, attracting theatre-goers, industry professionals, and those seeking something beyond the ordinary dining experience in one of London's most dynamic neighbourhoods.
