London Reign is one of the best hip-hop clubs in Central London for sure, but a clubbing night out is never complete without pre-drinks. One of the most common questions we’re asked after helping out guests with their London Reign reservation is about the best bars near London Reign. These next three bars are some of the nearest to the club, and more importantly, they’re some of the best.
Bar Americain
Address: 22 Sherwood St, London W1F 7ED
Distance from London Reign: 2-minute walk
Bar Americain is an elegant bar near London Reign and Piccadilly Circus that’s known for its vintage 1920s-inspired decor. This means ceramic columns, wood-panelled walls, leather seats, and countless little details that help the bar stay true to its theme — an American jazz bar in the 1920s.
Unlike many contemporary bars, the Bar Americain menu favours classic cocktails and because of that, you can always expect them to be nothing short of perfect. The menu also features house specials and interesting creations, but we highly recommend you don’t miss out on the classics, especially the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and of course, Martini cocktails.
A variety of tables and seating options also means you’ll feel just as comfortable whether you go there as a couple or as a group of friends.
Jack Solomons Club
Address: 41 Great Windmill St, London W1D 7NB
Distance from London Reign: 7-minute walk or a 5-minute drive
Located in Soho — under Soho to be specific, Jack Solomons Club is a speakeasy-style bar and another one of the best bars near London Reign. The glamorous industrial-style speakeasy is inspired by the British boxing promoter Jack Solomons who gave up a boxing career for his girlfriend and became one of the most successful promoters in the business.
The menu is where the Jack Solomon theme shines. Almost every item on the menu is a creative mix with a clever name and a tie to the promoter’s life — On The Ropes, Gold Digger, Solomons’ Smile, Lovely Fanny, and the list goes on.
The bar offers a casual, yet elegant setting which is perfect to get you in the mood for a party. Not to mention, the vintage vibe is a treat for the eyes. For entertainment, you can usually expect some form of live music, be it a DJ or a band.
