Speedboat Bar

Speedboat Bar has been a fixture on Rupert Street in Soho for over five years, bringing a slice of Bangkok's street food scene to London. The decor draws on Thailand's waterways, with rich colours and traditional Thai touches, and the scents of fragrant curries and earthy soups carry from the kitchen.

Chef Luke Farrell built the menu around his time zipping through Bangkok's canals in longtail boats, and the food leans into bold, authentic flavours meant to be shared, as Thai dining tends to be. Expect drunken noodles, seafood salads, slushie beers and cocktails like the snake blood Negroni. Downstairs is for a casual meal; upstairs runs livelier, with a pool table, live sports and a happy hour that pulls in both early birds and night owls.
