Joseph Arowolo (of Sketch in Mayfair) brings a range of new and classic cocktails to this venue aimed at showcasing tastes from around the globe. With a classical and well-travelled feel, it remains comfortable and classy, and it looks to promote itself as an artistic space as well, with events, masterclasses, a boutique, plus live music & DJs.
It opens from breakfast, offering a range of pastries, teas and Monmouth Coffee; while later in the day it moves to tasting plates and a specially designed cocktail menu. There's a deconstructed Bloody Mary Brunch with onion infused vodka, tomato juice, diced vegetables & mace smoke (served with crudité and egg yolk garnish) to get you back on track, then continue with 'Eu and Me' (blood orange, Havana Anejo, agave, ginger & eucalyptus foam) or an Aged Mezcal Negroni, amongst others.
There's also a 'Maison Private Guest' card that gets you access to the private members area or the speakeasy bar and private terrace. Each individual cardholder has access to an exclusive space for their own personal and select liquor cabinet (prices vary).
