A cocktail bar, discotheque and late-night lounge bringing innovative drinks to the top of The Standard, London.

Occupying the eastern length of the landmark Brutalist building and accessed via the hotel’s red pill exterior lift, Sweeties’ sumptuous interiors, designed by long-time Standard collaborator Shawn Hausman, evoke an early 1970s Hollywood opulence. Think ochre velvet sofas, ruched leather banquettes, mirrored tables, and a six-foot antique phallic sculpture. 

Sweeties offers a menu of naturally mood-boosting cocktails in collaboration with award-winning mixologists, Jack Sotti and Todd Austin. The cocktail menu is centred around a blend of feel-good ingredients and energising adaptogens and nootropics. In tune with the wider menu, most cocktails are available in non-alcoholic versions. Also expect floor-to-ceiling views and a good time soundtrack from an ever-evolving DJ line-up. 

Open from 5pm on Wednesday to Saturday. 

Ideal For

Feel-good sips, trippy-coloured cocktails.
