Rooms By The Hour: An unforgettable addition to your evening at Pix Soho.

In tribute to the history of our glorious, notorious neighbourhood; we’ve taken a step back in time, resurrecting a 1970’s adult cinema that once existed in the basement and turning it into the most mischievous speakeasy in London.

We have 5 private ‘viewing cabins’ for parties of 2 to 8 people and as the name suggests, it’s yours for 60 minutes. Unlike our predecessors we don’t charge for the room (or films) - just the cocktails!

Open Monday to Saturday from 5pm.

PLEASE NOTE: If not dining upstairs, tapas platters will be served at £5.00 p/p. This is a requirement of our licence.

Rooms By The Hour is a themed cocktail bar. Inappropriate or lewd conduct will not be tolerated.

    Poor experience from the moment we entered the venue. Arrived early and was shown downstairs, only to be told our room was not available. Waiting was not an issue but we were then instructed to wait upstairs in the restaurant, where there was little room to move. We were told to sit and wait at 3 different tables before our room was ready. After being shown to the booth, we ordered our drinks which took over half an hour to arrive. When they arrived, the waiter closed the hatch with a drink still on it, spilling it over my arm and the seat. The £15.50 punch cocktail was a little more than just orange juice and ice and we left completely dissatisfied with the experience.

    The food is excellent but the service leaves a lot to be desired. All the cocktails took forever to arrive with the last one never arriving. There was a lot of back and forth confusion on our bill. The server who seated us and showed us to our booth was great! All the other members of staff we encountered seemed rushed and confused.

    It was an amazing experience and pretty unique set up. Perfect spot for date night. We were given some complimentary shots as they needed some time to set up the rooms and enjoyed the service too.

    Completely different to what’s described/ imagined… not discreet at all! We arrived at 10.30 to a busy tapas / bar where you need to walk through the crowded bar to the basement. Not only that, but the barman would shout across to you as your making your way through the crow to check you have a reservation whilst shouting over everyone. When you go to the booths, which are located just by the toilets… we were greeted by an overly eager barman who tried to invite himself in the booth several times… oh, and the curtain on the booth stops at waist height and you can hear everyone and everything in the others booths and bar upstairs. If your looking for some discreet fun / cocktails with a kinky twist than this isn’t the place.

    This place forces you to order food. Each cocktail is £15 and definitely not worth it because they tasted awful! Avoid at all costs.
