Setlist

Located at Somerset House, Setlist is a sunlit riverside bar with a sizeable outdoor terrace and a spacious interior that serves as a gallery showcasing works by emerging artists. There's also an on-site kitchen where four up-and-coming female chefs have joined forces to serve a globe-trotting menu of snacks, small plates, and heftier dishes.

Though centrally located, Setlist is a remarkably peaceful spot, protected from the incessant hubbub of the city by the imposing façade of Somerset House on one side and the leafy riverside on the other. It's a bright, airy venue, with eye-catching artwork elevating the simply furnished interior and parasols providing welcome shade on the outside terrace.

The female-fronted kitchen complements the broad selection of drinks, from spicy margaritas to spritzes, fresh-pressed juices, craft beers, and more, with small plates and snacks drawing on the chefs' individual backgrounds. You can try West African-inspired burgers, comforting pizzas, and authentic Mexican tacos before wrapping up with a Happy Endings ice cream sandwich.

As befits the cultural powerhouse it's part of, Setlist also hosts a lively events programme. Its late-night Saturday clubbing is fast becoming a calendar fixture among London's creatives, music lovers, and nightlife insiders, while live music, family-friendly events, spoken word performances, and more round out the week.
