Bar Jackie

Bar Jackie is the street-level cafe bar of Broadwick Soho, and the more casual, all-day sibling to the hotel's basement restaurant Dear Jackie. Set on the corner of Broadwick Street with a terrace for warmer days, it runs from morning coffee through to evening aperitivo, part of the same Martin Brudnizki-designed world but pitched as a drop-in rather than a destination dinner.

As an Italian cafe in Soho, it keeps things easy and Italian-leaning across the day. Mornings bring barista-made coffee; later it shifts to small plates, Pinsa Romana, pastas and cocktails, with an espresso martini that has earned its own following. The terrace and corner setting make it a good perch for watching Soho go by.

What to expect from this Italian cafe in Soho

Come early for coffee and a pastry, or later for aperitivo and a plate or two. The menu leans on Italian small plates, Roman-style pinsa and pasta, with proper cocktails once the sun is over the yardarm. It is an easier, walk-in-friendly alternative to booking the restaurant downstairs, while sharing the same design pedigree and address.

Coffee, aperitivo and the setting

Named, like its sibling, in tribute to the great Jackies of past and present, Bar Jackie plays the all-day role in the Broadwick Soho line-up. It complements the basement Dear Jackie restaurant and the rooftop bar upstairs, and sits among the area's cafes in our Soho coffee shops listings.

Bar Jackie is an all-day, walk-in-friendly cafe bar at street level, with a terrace and bookings taken for busier times through the hotel. It works for coffee, a light lunch or evening drinks. Current menus are on its official site, with reservations also listed on OpenTable.
