Soma London Review

Now, you got on the wrong tube and somehow ended up at Stepney Green station, of all places. But rather than start crying, why not divert your attention directly across the road through the invitingly large windows of Soma, your new home-from-home?

It has cash, coffee, and cigarette machines, an old fireplace, a welcoming horseshoe-shaped bar supplied with an array of friendly beers (or cocktails for only £2.50 during happy hour), some fine Thai food, local art for sale, politely subdued lighting, and a sociable music policy. There is even a small side room for ugly people and dorky students, separating the wheat from the chav.

This isn’t always a library lounge though; the volume gets cranked on drum & bass Thursday and school’s-out Saturday. Finally, a reason to be in East London. Why stay sober when you can stay Soma? Christian Rose-Day (13 10 2005)

Loved

"Absolutely love this secret gem! Only thing was that the service at the bar was pretty lousy because they only had one barman. Could do with one waiter at least taking food orders from tables to lower..." Which venue is this?

Hated

"Long story short: Upper Street branch, crappy, rude service. Waited forever for our drinks. We had to before the next table arrives, but it took them so long to print the damn bill, we wasted another half..." Which venue is this?
