Simmons, the popular London bar chain, has launched a dedicated Spritz Stop at its Soho location, offering budget-friendly cocktails at just £5 each. The window, located at 2 Bateman Street, serves three varieties of spritz: Aperol, Sarti Rosa, and Hugo. Available daily from 3pm to 8pm, these drinks typically cost between £9 and £13 elsewhere in the capital, making this a notable bargain.
The Spritz Stop Menu
The Aperol Spritz combines Aperol, Prosecco, and soda for a bittersweet, fizzy cocktail. The Sarti Spritz, described as Aperol's "pink, sweet sister," features Sarti Rosa liqueur with mango, passionfruit, and blood orange flavors, mixed with Prosecco and soda. The Hugo Spritz, tipped as the drink of summer 2026, blends elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, soda, and mint for a crisp, refreshing taste. All three are priced at £5 during the promotional hours.
Entertainment and Atmosphere
From Thursday to Sunday, the Spritz Stop features DJs playing throwback classics and party anthems, enhancing the outdoor drinking experience. Social media users have praised the setup, calling it "perfect," "stunning," and a "bargain." Comments on Instagram include "I need this in my life" and "It's calling my name!"
Alternative Al Fresco Spot: Scott's Richmond
For those seeking a different outdoor drinking experience, Scott's restaurant in Richmond offers a terrace with riverside views. Partnering with Silent Pool Gin for Spring 2026, the terrace is decorated with realistic wisteria, leafy vines, and lemons, creating a botanical garden atmosphere. A limited-edition spring drinks menu features cocktails like the Silent Bloom Spritz (£15), made with Silent Pool Gin, rose expression, tawny port, lemon juice, orange bitters, and Fever-Tree soda. Prices start from £13.
The Spritz Stop is open daily from 3pm to 8pm at 2 Bateman Street, London W1D 4AE. No reservation is required, but availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.
