Archive & Myth is one of those bars that feels like a genuine discovery, even for people who think they have seen everything London has to offer. Hidden beneath the Hippodrome, it is a low lit, atmospheric space that blends old world glamour with modern precision, the kind of bar you hear about through friends rather than find by accident. In the short time since opening, it has already made a serious impact, winning Best New Bar at the Bar Magazine Awards and earning praise across the industry for its craft, service and quietly theatrical style.
It has also become something of an industry hangout, thanks in no small part to the influence of international bar personality Jack Sotti. Known for his work at world class venues, his global competition judging, his appearances on TV and his reputation for pushing drinks culture forward, Sotti brings both credibility and creative spark to the project. Archive & Myth feels very much like his world: polished, playful, detail-driven and always a little unexpected.
For July, they return to Cocktails in the City in partnership with Enemigo Tequila, presenting a concept that is pure Archive & Myth: Slushies & Caviar. It is indulgent, irreverent and executed with the kind of precision that turns a fun idea into a genuinely standout festival moment. A must visit for anyone who loves a bar with personality and pedigree.
