Set across three floors, the interior has been sensitively transformed by Simone McEwan, into a luxuriously, and welcoming space designed with the modern oenophile in mind. In The Lounge members can enjoy unique views of St James’s Palace through the grand ceiling to floor windows of the original Banking Hall, whilst perusing the informative wine list available on ipads, loaded with critic’s scores, winemakers’ notes, and tasting notes. The mezzanine is designed as a quieter and more intimate area, as place of calm from which to enjoy a glass of wine in peace with the paper or the latest wine periodical.
In addition to oenological delights, 67 Pall Mall’s restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and sharing plates daily under the expert leadership of Head Chef Marcus Verberne. The thoughtfully chosen menus designed by Verberne who counts legendary kitchens including Hix, Le Caprice, J Sheekey, The Ivy restaurants, The Brown’s Hotel, and Roast amongst his previous experience incorporates the freshest, seasonal ingredients designed to complement and enhance the wine list, and experience for members and their guests.
Born from a passion for fine wine, and a frustration at the unnecessary mark up prices bestowed on them by restaurants and bars, 67 Pall Mall’s mission is to make accessible fine wine to its members both physically and financially. The antithesis of a wine cellar where bottles are forever locked away to gather dust, 67’s aim is to entice members to pull the cork and discover a new wine. The Wine Library, a space for discovery and learning holds thousands of bottles on display in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, designed to allow members to browse or be guided towards their next discovery.
Members of 67 Pall Mall have access to an unrivalled wine list served by the glass thanks to leading edge Coravin technology, at a sensible price all expertly curated by 67 Pall Mall’s Master Sommelier, Ronan Sayburn. Previously Executive Head Sommelier for Gordon Ramsay Holdings, Head of Wine for the Dorchester Collection, Ronan and his team of wine professionals will be on hand to engage with and inspire members as they make their selection whatever their level of knowledge, as well as hold impromptu and informal tastings.
One of the club’s more unusual features is the Chatwood “Invincible” Strongroom, an original Hambros Bank safe refurbished to house the finest and rarest wines from the collection in what will be the most secure fine wine storage in central London. Members have the opportunity to store an allocation of their personal collection within the cellars for consumption to share and enjoy within the club.
Oenophiles
Members have access to exclusive events, talks, tastings and dinners with the world’s best chateau owners, winemakers, and industry experts as well as access to Wine & Spirit Education Trust courses and members can also share their collections with other members with 67 Pall Mall’s in-house merchant, allowing members to buy and sell wine.
