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.

    Really quirky little place. Great for a change and a laugh with some friends. Nice cocktails and some nibbles. The drinks come with some little extras like some handcuffs and you get to choose the film you want to watch. Little hatch on the wall to call the waiters so you’re not disturbed. Great way to spend an hour and something different Pretty expensive though so be prepared for the bill!

    Really poor service, you have to have food but it is picked for you and you don’t even get asked if you have any allergies/intolerances/preferences. It was 40 mins after we arrived we got our drinks because the server literally forgot our drinks order and had to come back and take our order again. It’s a really fun concept so we did have a good time but service and food could have been much better. Service charge was meant to be optional but it was put on the bill regardless and we weren’t given the option to take it off or speak to anyone about it as they serve it through the hatch.

    Staff were very polite and helpful. They also had a very good sense of humour. I didn’t eat any of the tapas but my friends ate a bit of it. Cocktails were lovely and had plenty of alcohol in them. Thanks for a lovely service.

    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.
