Can anyone recommend one for me? The problem I have with these places are that they're generally loud/trendy and full of pillocks. Can anyone recommend me one that is more reserved?
 
There's Potion on Charlotte St which has mixed student/older crowd and tends to be quite laidback, the cocktails are good as well. I think Tuesday is Happy Hour before 9ish.
 
Vertigo 42 is pretty quiet (gf has been, not i), champange bar though.

depends what sort of cocktail you want, i like small affairs like cottons rhum bar for rhum cocktails

I'm not sure on cocktail bars in London myself but that kind of info would help narrow down people's recommendations for you
 
Not quite a cocktail bar but Davey's Wine Bar does cocktails I think, has a good atmosphere, would be what your after I think. It's on Mincing Lane.

Smart bars? Depends how smart you mean. You won't find many smart bars in Soho. You'd want to go to Picadilly or Covent Garden.

If you dont mind venturing out of the centre a bit Clapham has a fair few bars
 
I've been going to the same pub for twenty years,
It was half a crown then to buy me beer
But they closed it down to redecorate,
They said they'd knock a wall down, change the bar round, paint the door brown,
Its going to look great
I walked in the door, couldn't believe my eyes
Every **** had a shirt and tie,
Mirrored walls and daft plastic trees, it was a
Fun-pub-disco-wine-bar-bistro-gay-club-poofhouse-cocktail-carvery.

I went to the bar to get my ale, she said: "Tetley Bitter's not for sale."
They had a fizzy lager with a German name, I said:
"You've got to be joking!"
I started choking, my voice was croaking, I turned pale.
Then a penguin grabbed me to throw me out,
You've got to dress like a ****-end to get in now,
But I've been served in here for twenty years, now its a
Fun-pub-disco-wine-bar-bistro-gay-club-poofhouse-cocktail-carvery.

What the **** have they done to my pub?
