| - The Soho house hosts some pretty sweet events, and the space itself is nothing to sneeze at either. It's a membership based club, so you have to be or know a member to get in. I just happen to be lucky enough to know someone who is a member, so this is my keys to the castle. Maybe I should consider getting my own membership as every time I go here it's fantastic.
The staff that greets you is pretty standard private club staff. I've done it before, and it does make you get inventive when you have to say hello as of you know 300 different people 300 times a day, but the concierge staff are polite and offer to help you with your coat and where you're supposed to go.
Was here for the California Sandwiches demo where they showed you how to bread and cook the veal cutlets for their signature veal sandwiches, this was the best event. My God, free California Sandwiches! Does life get any better than that?! And they had lots of left overs, so people took food home.
The club itself is well taken care of. The ground floor houses the saloon and a great margarita pizza. The bar tending staff are very friendly and genuinely so. Also if note: the ice in my Negroni is the best ice I've ever had. Seriously. It's beyond amazing. The drink is great, so I sip it a bit slower than normal....and one hour later the ice is still there! Almost the whole cube! The same shape!How is this even possible??!
The rest of the club has comfortable seating, and the atmosphere is great to the point where the inevitable urge to want to move in occurs to you at least a few times a visit, but alas, this is only for rent on a visitation basis, you just have to learn to accept it.
The second floor has this buffet bar where there are jars of gummy treats and candies, a favorite of mine so that gets them bonus points. Another solid bar as well. The third floor has this great indoor patio feel and some of the nicest bathrooms I've ever seen...aside from at the Shangri La...which is next door...which they have a partnership with.
This place is definitely pretty choice. If you have the chance, I would recommend picking one (a membership) up
