Bar Manager – La Familia

Overview

Bar Manager – La Familia

La Familia – Soho’s Coolest Taqueria & Speakeasy

La Familia is where Soho comes to eat, drink, and let loose. Upstairs, we serve up a rustic, fast-casual taqueria experience – a small but mighty menu of tacos, quesadillas, elotes, and fresh chips & guac. Drinks are all about authentic Mexican flavours – from Mexican Coke and Jarritos to freshly made aguas frescas and laid-back margaritas.

Downstairs is where the night truly comes alive. Hidden beneath the taqueria is a Latin-inspired speakeasy cocktail bar – dimly lit, moody, and electric with energy. Expect elevated cocktails, mezcal magic, and a soundtrack of Latin disco and hip-hop spun by the best DJs in town.

La Familia blends Mexican modernism, bold colours, and street-party vibes – it’s all about celebrating imperfection, flavour, and music. Think “cool older sister” energy: stylish, playful, and just a little wild.
