Colony Room Green is a hidden cocktail bar and immersive art space located downstairs at Ziggy Green on Heddon Street in Soho, London. Inspired by the original Colony Room Club, it recreates one of Soho’s most legendary drinking dens, offering a characterful late-night bar experience in the heart of central London.

Tucked beneath the restaurant, Colony Room Green draws on the history of the infamous private members’ club that ran from 1948 to 2008 and became known as the bohemian heart of Soho. The original club attracted artists, writers and cultural icons including Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, and built a reputation as one of London’s most eccentric and talked-about drinking spots.

The space has been carefully reimagined by artist and former member Darren Coffield, bringing the spirit of the original venue back to life through an immersive, art-led setting. With its distinctive green interiors, intimate layout and slightly rebellious atmosphere, it offers a rare sense of stepping into old Soho while still feeling relevant today.

Colony Room Green is best suited for after-dinner drinks, date nights and small groups looking for a more unusual cocktail bar in Soho. It appeals to those interested in London’s cultural history as well as anyone searching for a hidden or atmospheric bar away from the typical West End crowd.

The drinks list is simple and rooted in the spirit of the original club, with beer, house wine and classic cocktails including the Espresso Martini, served as a nod to Dick Bradsell, the bartender credited with creating the drink. What makes Colony Room Green unique is its combination of Soho heritage, art and storytelling, offering not just drinks, but a true sense of place.
