I will say straight up, were it not for the hangovers that materialise from this place, it would be five stars. The guy who works in the downstairs bar does mean margaritas/old fashioned's, it's a fun environment and very different on both floors. Would recommend for: 1) Soho cool upstairs and 2) Soho irony and silliness downstairs... Enjoy read more

Two floors is a place in Soho I find myself often with my student colleagues catching up with good old times. It is a quite relaxed, casual and bohemian atmosphere. They serve all kinds of bottled beers and there are some tables available to sit down, although I always end up sitting at the bar. Especially in summer this place is particular nice, as you can stand out side enjoying your cigarette and beer at the same time. It happens sometime that I bump into same familiar faces, which I have not seen for a while, a rare thing in London. You will be surprised, when making your way down to the toilet, there is a further room with a hidden treasure - a tikki bar. We tried to get a table before Christmas down there. However, it was already fully booked. This place is busy all day, it is the kind of place you catch up late in the afternoon and it turns into a big night out. If there is a cool place in Soho with less tourists but more Londoners, this is it. It is not pretentious but just stays true to its origin- a proper London meet up. read more

I think this is supposed to be a bit of a trendy place. It certainly looks like it could be kind of cool. Dark and minimalistic, you might not even know what the venue is used for when its not open. Maybe it's some peoples cup of tea but I just don't like this kind of bar. They had 1 thing on tap, a Jamaican lager which may well be the worst lager I've ever tasted (and I've drank Stella!), it was just all fizz. A couple of other lagers and ales were available in vastly overpriced bottles. We did not stay long. read more

This pub has an unexpected surprise for all that come here for the first time, when you walk in you see a quite subdued looking bar-pub, with not much effort on decoration, you see nothing but a simple bar, very well equipped and really cool staff to serve you. But... once you venture downstairs you are in a whole different place, its a Tikki bar! It has a small bar with all the deco implied in this style; nice comfy seating is just a treat. I've been there a couple of times and it's never crowded, just the right amount of people. read more

Two Floors - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

A Soho bar that has been there almost as long as I have been in London is something pretty refreshing frankly. I remember first going there in about 1997 and thinking it was great, and have come back many a time since then, although my trip last night was the first in a year or so. The genius with Two Floors is that is was never uber-cool, just quite comfy with itself as being a good friendly bar and because of this it has never really hit the heights of impossible to get into/served at, but it has also not lost all its customers to another bar as they migrate to the latest and greatest. The top bar is long and the main room is fairly spacious with sofas, wooden seats and low tables dotted around the place. The basement bar is slightly random with some sort of Hawiian style decor going on. It's low lit and doesn't get a huge amount of light in because of its position so think New York bar experience for that part of the atmosphere. It's a friendly place as well and always feels a very comfortable place to hang out in. Only has the one beer on tap - but its the very good Kirin and reasonably priced. Has a fairly good selection of bottled beers too. Does some good cocktails for around £6 as well. I'm not so sure about the service these days. I might have hit it on a bad night, but it was pretty amateur last night with the selection of who was next seeming to be totally random. Overall though a really good bar and a true stalwart of the Soho scene. Worth noting - I don't think it's ever had a sign outside, so note the address. It's pretty obvious its a bar from the outside, but you won't find the name there. read more

A favourite bar of mine, discovered about a year ago when looking for somewhere central with an outdoor area. As soon as my friend and I walked in, we both said the place reminded us of Manchester - simply and slightly retro decorated, with normal people rather than your usual dressed up, suited up rich kids who normally drink around Carnaby Street. The bar is averagely priced - another bonus considering its location. Music is eclectic and not too loud. The downstairs is dark and cosy and there are some tables for us smokers outside. Cute bar staff to appreciate too. Perfect especially for after work drinks. read more

Two Floors - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

A great place to meet for a drink before dinner or have a few afterwards, Two Floors has got several tables and a few comfy sofas on the ground floor at the main bar, and a tiki-esque second bar on the lower ground floor. The back doors let out onto the courtyard at the back of Carnaby Street, so there's plenty of space to spill out on crowded evenings. Ciabatte are served during the day, and students and in-between-meetings media types (like me) can usually be found camped out on the sofas in the back. Excellent and well-priced caipiroskas, decent wine and friendly staff keep it on my Soho shortlist. read more

Expect very slow service on a Friday night - the place was heaving and there were only two bar staff. Good atmosphere - nice basement room and outside area. But I would only go if it was quieter. read more

There aren't too many places in a tourist area where you get good value for money. Craft beers on tap and superb cocktails at a reasonable price. Friendly staff. What more do you want? read more

Two Floors - Standard round - Bars Near Me - London, XGL

Great bar downstairs. Awesome music, fantastic atmosphere. Bar staff more interested in Facebook updates and completely drunk at 11pm. Sorry, I am going into a bar to have a drink or two. read more

for some reason i find that i dont want to like this place, and yet i cant help myself. its actually alright. in fact its better then just alright. With a Tiki-Bar in the basement, its kitch enough without feeling try hard. Upstairs is a basic Bar, with decent music and fair enough prices. the Staff are friendly and easy going. the People who go there are very mixed, but generally ive never had a problem with anyone there. if youre stuck in Carnaby Street and looking for a decent watering hole, this can be youre spot. read more

Two Floors. One floor (the top floor) is just an easy, approachable, authentic BAR. Not a pub, not a club, but a bar. And the bottom floor, where I hung out--dang it forgot the official name, but it is a true tiki bar!!! Awesome decor, awesome vibe--they stick to the theme here. Got a bit crowded with drunken 20 somethings later in the eve on a Saturday, but I am still a big fan for the drink menu, the Red Stripe on tap, the decor, and the music. Can be accessed directly I think from the back alley. read more

Fun fun, how have you not changed in the decade I've been away ? La - still kind of love you the way I used to but my tastes have changed - its not you its me I swear.... You are something that once was special and now is just another Soho bar, even your downstairs tikiness won't save you from my changing desires. The elements are there, you still have booze and tables and your after work slash hipster crowd, just not my cup of tea and not my first choice. Not anymore..... read more

Great place for an after work/start of night drink. Tucked nicely into Kingly Court, this place is really buzzy and in my opinion very cool.

Perfect bar to catch-up with people, or just hang out. Grab a bottle of Brooklyn beer and watch the world go by.

Nice cosy place. The staff were friendly and the place was filled with normal folk. One beer on tap but a nice selection of other drinks including a mean french martini. We managed to hog the two couches by the window for a majority of the night so we were sitting comfortably. There were others who were perched on some rickety looking stools though which i wouldn't trust myself on after a couple of bottles. read more

Love this bar. Great cocktail menu and the bar staff were very helpful when it came to recommending things to try. I particularly liked the passion fruit sizzle! Also what is good fun is the bags of hot popcorn they do. Great picking snack. read more

Made a reservation at this place not long ago. When I arrived, they had given away the table because we were half an hour late. They did not attempt to call us to see if we were coming. They attempted to say they called to confirm the reservation a day before, when in fact we made the reservation the morning of. The staff was very unprofessional and rude. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise - the place was grungy, overcrowded, and generally unattractive. If piercings, tattoos, and ripped jeans are your thing, this may be the place for you, but for a slightly classier night out in Soho, go elsewhere. read more

another favourite; used to go here a lot when I worked in Soho. not as much of a secret anymore now that Kingly Court has been opened up, but still great for lunch and after works drinks. glad it's still there after all those years read more

Awful! Took the bar tender 25 minutes to make a martini and it seemed like a joke to him. We later saw him and he was still making jokes. Not welcoming at all! read more

I'm visiting London from Melbourne, and love this place. On an afternoon when Soho was heaving this bar was an island of effortless calm and cool amidst a sea of people rushing everywhere. The crew working there are great as is the music and overall vibe. I know that local pubs are the pumping heart of a place like London but for me this place was brilliant, cool and relaxing. Hats off to the crew on Saturday and Monday when I visited (should've got names, sorry) for making the place so welcoming and relaxing, but cool. read more
