Speedboat Bar
Speedboat Bar brings the exhilarating chaos of Bangkok’s Chinatown to Soho, delivering a full-throttle dining experience wrapped in neon and nostalgia. Created by chef Luke Farrell in partnership with JKS, the space channels the adrenaline of speedboat racing with walls of Thai pop-culture ephemera, racing paraphernalia, and bustling counter energy. The food is as wild as the decor — fiercely flavoured Thai-Chinese classics like wok-fried drunken noodles, crisp deep-fried sea bass, and bold stir-fries all roar from the kitchen with serious swagger. The cocktails are just as playful, pairing heat and sweetness in high-octane combinations designed to keep the party going. Open all day, every day, this Soho favourite serves up continuous thrills with no drop in pace. Hot Dinners praises its no-holds-barred energy and the way it injects fun into London’s dining scene. Whether you're planning a rowdy group dinner or wandering in late for cocktails and curry, Speedboat Bar doesn’t just welcome chaos — it thrives on it. Vegetarian options are clearly marked, and the all-day format means spontaneity is encouraged, from midday meals to midnight snacks. Open all day Monday to Thursday, until 1am on weekends, and until 11pm on Sundays.
