Balans No.60

Infamous, outrageous and utterly unbeatable, Balans No.60 is considered to be a bastion of the Soho scene. Over three decades and counting, we’ve been welcoming familiar faces and hungry passers-by and we have to admit, we’ve been having a rather lovely time with you all. So, whatever you’re looking for, why not pull up a chair at Balans? You’re always invited.

Best place for a nightcap? Balans in Soho, because when you get there, at whatever o’clock in the morning, there are lots of other drunk people.

Ms. Dynamite / Singer and Record producer

The best place in London for late-night food and banter.

Fat Tony / DJ

Balans is famous for being the friendliest restaurant in town - great fun and even better for me is that my dog Wolfy is welcomed like a prince.
