Working in Frith Street for several years meant walking past this well established Soho bar every night - and stopping in for a ‘quick one’ which usually meant a few bottles of Verdicchio (sp?) with the lads. Zilli’s was referred to as ‘meeting room 4’ when we needed to get out of the office on a spurious ‘new business planning meeting’!
Cramped, noisy, vibrant, Soho prices - but great for celeb spotting (and posing). You can also order food from the excellent Zilli’s restaurant right next door - classic pasta (penne arabiatta is a good veg option) or try and soak up the booze with a supply of olives & bread! Pavement tables are much prized in summer. Also try Zilli’s fish restaurants for a slightly classier ambience.
