Opium is an award winning,1920’s Shanghai themed cocktail bar and dim sum parlour located in the heart of chinatown, soho.
Behind the hidden Jade Door and up the winding staircase, the venue splits across two floors which house three individual oriental-themed bars-within-a-bar.
Each bar serves an eclectic range of experimental & creative cocktails, with traditional dim sum served throughout the venue.
The Apothecary bar is located on the second floor at Opium and can accommodate up to 30-40 guests seated or standing. The room is elongated in shape and the main Apothecary bar adorned with medicinal bottles (you won’t have to learn Cantonese, we promise!), splits the bar between two areas. To the far left we have an area with higher, stool type seating and to the right we have “Tea parlour” section which has lower, more dining type style tables and chairs. The bar is available for private hires and drinks reception. Exclusive hire of the Apothecary bar includes full waiting staff/bartenders.
