The Little Violet Door is a cocktail bar and restaurant at 9 Kingly Street in Soho, styled as the shared apartment of a group of fictional flatmates. Guests can move between characterful rooms, settle in for drinks and food or book spaces for a larger celebration. Games, music and a deliberately sociable layout give the venue the feel of a house party while table service keeps the evening organised.
The bar food menu is designed around sharing and easy eating. Mezze dips, charcuterie, padron peppers, prawn tacos and sweetcorn fritters provide a varied opening order, while wild mushroom arancini, brisket croquettes and fried chicken offer richer choices. Burgers, toasties, halloumi fries and salads add more substantial options, with vegan and gluten free dishes clearly represented.
Brunch brings poached eggs, avocado toast, shakshuka and buttermilk pancakes alongside breakfast burgers and plant based buns. Diners can choose savoury combinations such as fried chicken with bacon and chilli maple butter or fruit topped pancakes with crème fraîche. A bottomless drinks option and sharing menus for larger parties reinforce the venue’s focus on sociable weekend occasions.
Cocktails are theatrical without losing sight of balanced flavours. House creations combine spirits with ingredients such as passion fruit, grapefruit, elderflower, coffee, chilli and seasonal fruit, while sequels to familiar classics offer playful variations on a Paloma, Negroni or Espresso Martini. Wine, beer and considered alcohol free cocktails complete the drinks list, and brownies or macarons provide a compact sweet finish.
