A COCKTAIL bar in Wallingford has won the Muddy Stiletto award for Best Bar in Oxfordshire and Bucks 2022.

Soiree, based in St Mary’s Street, has served over 12,000 drinks to the people in the town and surrounding areas since it first opened in October 2021.

Oxford Mail:

It took two years of planning before the bar officially opened and there are more plans in the future including introducing another four beer taps this week and offer additional food next month.
