Our Story
BORN IN SOHO. BUILT FOR THE NIGHT.
We didn't set out to build a bar group. We set out to build the kind of places we actually wanted to drink in.
The Beginning
Two friends. One postcode. A lot of ambition.
Soho Bars Group was founded by Tarcan Ordek and Sadi Kasim, two people who understood from the inside out what makes a great night out in London. Not the velvet ropes or the overpriced cocktails. The atmosphere. The energy. The feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They started with a single venue and a simple idea: that Soho deserved bars as bold and alive as the neighbourhood itself.
The Vision
More than a bar. A feeling.
From the beginning, the vision was never just about serving drinks. It was about creating spaces where people connect. Where a Tuesday night can feel like a Saturday, where strangers become regulars, and where every detail from the playlist to the pour is considered. Soho Bars Group venues are designed to be lived in, not just visited.
What Makes Us Different
We run on instinct, not formula.
There's no corporate playbook here. Every venue we operate carries its own identity, its own character, its own crowd. What unites them is an obsession with quality and a refusal to be ordinary. We hire people who care, we source products we believe in, and we build spaces that have something to say. That's the Soho Bars Group difference, and it shows in every glass we pour.
What drives us
Our Values
Authenticity
No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just honest hospitality done brilliantly.
Community
Our venues belong to the people who fill them. We build for regulars, not tourists.
Craft
Every detail matters, from the menu to the music to the way the light falls at midnight.
Boldness
We take risks, back our instincts, and never settle for good enough.
