What is Hix bar like?

Hix is currently one of London's coolest and popular upmarket restaurants. Hidden in the depths of the restaurant is a gem of a cocktail bar - Mark's bar. Named after the restaurant's owner Mark Hix, this small underground space attracts Soho's cutting edge clientele. As you head through the restaurant, you will see a red neon finger pointing you downstairs into the bar. Low lighting, mismatching furniture and a long metal bar add to the New York lounge feel to the space. Cocktails are traditionally British in style, and they are expertly mixed by a quirky crew of young and stylish staff.
