Lio - Soho, London

London has some of the best clubs in the world, but when it comes to putting on a show and levelling up the nightlife experience, Ibiza does a pretty impressive job. Its headline club is and arguably always has been Pacha, and the group has touched down in Soho with a no-holds-barred cabaret show concept that looks to take the capital by storm. It's name: Lío. Taking over the digs that famously housed the Café De Paris in the pulsing heart of Soho, we popped in for a reccie. Suffice to say, we were blown away.  

Café de Paris had occupied the same site for almost a century and anyone who has visited before will know that it's set up beautifully for theatrical productions. The Grade-II-listed building features original double-sided staircases dating back to the heady days of 1924, mirrored ceilings to reflect the fun, and a transportable DJ booth that can be shifted around the venue. 

The dining area can seat up to 200 guests and is spread across the wraparound mezzanine and original ballroom floor, with a menu from Adam Rawson, formerly at The Standard at King's Cross and more recently Executive Chef at Laylow. No matter where you're seated, it won't be long before you're smiling along with the dancers. The fun is nothing short of infectious. 

Having tested their mettle in Mykonos, Las Vegas and Ibiza, Lío has touched down in London with a stage-proven show worth its salt. Staff have been performing alongside the singers, actors and acrobats for the better part of a decade. As the evening progresses and dinner transitions to dessert and maybe a few too many drinks, the space shifts into a fully-serviced nightclub. 

This is a very unique proposition for London and one, as you may be able to tell, that we're quite excited about. We can organise priority table bookings for the restaurant and/or the club element. Please note minimum spends apply for both.
