The Space

Welcome to Opium!

A two floor, three bar, 1920’s themed parlour of hidden speakeasy style drinking dens, located behind the secret Jade door on world famous Gerrard Street in Chinatown, Soho.
Serving a sorcerous selection of award-winning signature cocktails, hand-crafted defying the rules of science by using the finest bartending techniques with elements of molecular mixology.

Floor 2

Apothecary Bar

Transporting you to the 19th Century ‘Opium Den’ era of China, this space displays a glowing backdrop of Cantonese medicinal bottles behind the vibrant central Jade bar, amongst a plethora of Oriental inspired homely bric a brac amongst ambient lantern lighting to set the nights scene.

Elongated in shape the bar splits the area into two spaces, on the far right sits our “Tea Parlour” adorning comfy low dining style tables and booth seating, while to the far left, a section of high tables and stools to perch a view of our expert bartenders crafting  cocktail concoctions for the evening.

Hosting an innovative menu of 8 signature cocktail serves, alongside a core menu of classics, Apothecary is the main bar in our parlour of drinking dens and one that provides the ultimate cocktail experience in London.

Floor 2

Peony Bar

Adorned in Chinoiserie to feel like a luxurious old-world Hong Kong drinking den, our snug cocktail space, with iconic maze-like skylight, serves a sorcery of innovative concoctions.

A secret gem and our most intimate bar in the venue, hidden behind the illusive red curtains within our parlour’s labyrinth of corridors, the centralised countertop and surrounding bar tables amongst the Oriental themed décor provides a front-row view of your tentative Master Mixologist for the evening.

Hosting its own intoxicating cocktail menu of 8 signature serves, alongside a core menu of the classics, this self-contained, clandestine drinking spot hosts the perfect space for a truly memorable cocktail experience in London.

Floor 3

Academy & Attic Bar

Climbing the entirety of the scarlet hued stairway in suspense, Attic & Academy bar is situated at the very top of our parlour of speakeasy style drinking dens.

Doting a homely family-esque feel to the space, Attic by name and location does not disappoint. Offering a haven of cosy quaint corners and nooks for cocktails, the comfy armchair style seating with low coffee tables and intimate booths for small groups, is framed by old photos and Oriental memorabilia to truly make you feel ‘at home’ for the night ahead.

Serving concoctions from Academy Bars independent menu of 8 signature cocktails, the open-plan kitchen style space situates an innovative bartender’s table for guests to get up close and personal to watch the cocktail making process with our Master Mixologist for the evening.
