Swift: the sort of bar Soho deserves

Swift is glamorous, sexy, a date bar that hums with atmosphere. Put it on your list, says David Ellis
Inviting: Swift

Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansson are big in the cocktail world, which is no surprise given their experience at Dead Rabbit, Milk & Honey and Callooh Callay. Swift is their latest venture, supported by the team behind Nightjar and Oriole. Though unassuming from the outside – you could be a Soho regular and not know it was there – it's tardis like inside. Upstairs is chic and mirrored, part Bar Termini, part Bob Bob Ricard, while downstairs its a warming den of leather booths and dim lights. It's the sort of bar Soho deserves: drinks are strong and finally mixed, leaning towards dark spirits, and the food is much better than it needs to be. Oysters are fresh and salty, steak tartare is stuffed full of capers. Swift is glamorous, sexy, a date bar that hums with atmosphere. Put it on your list – right near the top.
