Our new cocktail bar El Siete is quietly taking shape in Soho

Opening 14th March 2026

We are delighted to share more details on El Siete, our agave-led cocktail bar quietly taking shape beneath El Pastor Soho. It’s set to open on Saturday 14th March, at which point, we’ll be seeing you for all the after-hours agave-led mischief. Make sure you’ve joined the El Siete mailing list for a chance to win a space for you and a friend at our opening party.

The Space

We’ve teamed up with Macaulay Sinclair to create something special. Think Mexico City brutalism and modernism, with specific attention to the timeless work of Luis Barragán. The walls are ‘Barragán pink’, with flickering neon bouncing off the chrome and metalwork.

The centrepiece is, obviously, the bar. Which has a terrazzo top, volcanic stone cladding, and leather-trimmed lean bars that encourages real engagement between guest and bartender. As for the seating, it’s low-slung banquettes, poseur stools and vintage marble tables.

The Drinks

Long-time collaborators Giles Looker and Michael Butt of Soulshakers (the minds behind Glastonbury’s San Remo bar) have built us a killer menu.

Structured around the number 7, with seven best-in-class margaritas, seven agave cocktails and seven updated classics.

A taster:

• THE 777 MARGARITA: A perfectly balanced margarita, ice-cold in a stainless-steel flask to preserve its chill, inspired by the San Ángel Inn (Mexico City) tradition of serving generous margaritas in silver carafes on ice.
• CANTALUPO: A deliciously camp drink of frozen melon margarita, served in a whole cantaloupe. Made with cantaloupe, tequila, Melonade and lime, for a drink that is both exuberant and boozy.
• A TRIO OF SPICY MARGARITAS: Three drinks offer escalating levels of spice, denoted by their traffic light colours.

A collection of around 60 mezcals and tequila will span raicilla and capón to cacao-laced pechuga, and El Pastor’s very own batch 005 limited-edition mezcal will make its debut here.

The Food

To fuel the night, a short menu of seven mini tostadas made from our house-nixtamalized 100% heirloom corn tortillas and chile de árbol popcorn offer perfect boozy snacking. Highlights include the Fugaz Avocado Tostada with pumpkin seeds and chile de árbol, Yellowfin Tuna with chipotle mayo and Caramelised Banana + Dulce de Leche with Chantilly orange cream.

The Music

The music brief is ‘cosmic cantina, carefully considered, with a Latin lean’ and there will be a rotating programme of guest mixes, designed to lift the room at select moments.
