In a city where cocktails are serious business, Disrepute Soho dares to do things differently with Counterculture. Nestled on Kingly Street in the heart of Soho — a postcode long synonymous with glamour, scandal, and subversion — this seductive hideaway is once again shaking up London’s nightlife.
This time, it’s not just about the drinks. It’s about a movement. A mood. A moment.
A menu that defies convention
More than just a lineup of signature serves, Counterculture is an experiential tribute to the outlaws, icons and misfits who defined the 1960s. The venue, once the notorious Pinstripe Club, was famously the backdrop to the Profumo affair — a political scandal that rocked Britain’s establishment. Today, Disrepute reclaims that legacy, turning whispers of rebellion into liquid statements of style.
“These four walls have always celebrated the beautiful outcasts,” says General Manager Lorenzo Gavelli.
“This menu is our tribute to those who colour outside the lines — and those who still do.”
From the jazz-soaked underground to the firebrands of feminist resistance, every cocktail on the list tells a story. And not just any story — one laced with danger, decadence and unrepentant glamour.

The Hippie Trail
Transporting drinkers through the roots of counterculture. Earthy, layered, and evocative, this cocktail channels the spirit of smoky jazz clubs, incense-filled communes, and midnight wanderings.
Where rebellion still lives
Stepping into Disrepute feels like entering another world — one where the rules never really applied. The lighting is low, the velvet booths curve like secrets, and the soundtrack hums with vintage soul, acid jazz and candlelit defiance. There’s no menu on the table — it’s presented with ceremony, its pages thick with narrative and noir-style visuals. The bartenders don’t just mix — they perform, with quiet confidence and velvet delivery. No one rushes you. No one tells you what to do. You’re simply invited to taste and to feel.
A scandal reimagined
For those who know their Soho history, Disrepute carries weight. Once frequented by the political elite and Hollywood royalty, it was here that John Profumo met Christine Keeler — a meeting that would unravel a government and etch itself into the scandalous folklore of 1960s Britain. Rather than erase that story, Disrepute leans into it — not to glorify, but to reinterpret. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s evolution.
Final sip
In a world of Insta-bars and identikit menus, Disrepute offers something rare: a point of view. With Counterculture, it’s more than cocktails — it’s context. Flavour with purpose. Atmosphere with teeth. A reminder that sometimes, to drink well is to think differently.
So take a seat. And let the revolution pour.
