Sumptuous North African themed bar SO.UK will celebrate its tenth anniversary this month and owners Leslie Chapman and Leslie Ash have ordered a full refurbishment in honour of it. The first style bar to open in Clapham ten years ago, SO.UK is a South-West London institution and with an updated look and brand new menu it looks set to continue as one of the best neighbourhood bars for many more decades to come.
Lee and Leslie have owned bars and restaurants for over 10 years, with previous ventures including private members club and restaurant, Teatro, and JuJu, a stylish Chelsea champagne and cocktail bar that they still currently own. They have personally designed the refurbishment of SO.UK themselves and no expense or detail has been overlooked. New design features will include inlaid gold leaf on the elevated DJ booths, several walls and alcoves. The walls have been painted in warming browns and neutral greys creating a relaxing and calming atmosphere, with the opulence of the East supplied by the low slung brass round tables, antique Moroccan pendant lamps and blue, grey and beige marble tiled floor.
Guests can recline in comfort on the plush velvet, leather and chenille cushions scattered on the snakeskin-lined banquettes. In honour of their birthday SO.UK have also created a tenth anniversary cocktail which is a traditional Moroccan mint tea with a modern twist. Served hot in a teapot this delicious concoction of Apples, Cinnamon, Fresh Mint, Orange Juice, Rum, Cinnamon Liqueur and Grand Marnier is the perfect seasonal drink, as the long winter nights start to draw in. They are also offering a selection of cocktail jugs for a limited period in honour of their birthday with mixtures such as Mojitos, Raspberry Collins and Mango Mai Tai for an extremely reasonable £14.95 for six glasses before 9pm.
SO.UK also offers a delicious Pan-Asian food menu including delights such as Steamed Prawn Dumplings, Soft Shell Crab and assorted Noodle, Stir-fry and Curry dishes. Food is extremely good value, with dishes starting at £2.50. With Christmas party season almost upon us, SO.UK is the ideal place to book all types of events, whether large or small.
Head down to SO.UK and be transported to a Bedouin paradise.
