Fodor's Expert Review Mark's Bar

At bon vivant Mark Hix's relaxed basement Soho haunt, you can knock back decidedly British cocktails (from age-old recipes) like the Britz Spritz or a Full English Negroni or stick to the resplendent Punch Bowls, perfectly executed classic cocktails, and British ales. The bar is tucked below the modern British restaurant Hix Soho. The atmosphere is clubby, with kilim rugs, suede poufs, a low sunken bar, and worn large leather Chesterfields. For food, there are first-rate bar snacks, including oysters, Scotch quail eggs, and pork crackling with rhubarb sauce.
