“Tasteful, low lit decadence is still the deco key, with distressed wooden armoires, hot-house plants, vintage palm-frond chandeliers, a stuffed hippo’s head, man-sizes Chinese urns, antlers made of red, mirrored mosaic, a giant disco ball and tea lights set an elegant, glass-topped tables establishing a unique, upmarket ambience. It may be slightly pretentious, but staff are helpful to the cocktail-confused and if you are out to impress, the place can hardly be bettered.” - TIMEOUT
“The creators of baroque-kitsch fine dining restaurant Les Trois Garcons now brings us this beautifully eccentric lounge bar that’s already taking the London fashion set by storm. All in all a vibrant antidote to the depressing minimalism of the 90’s. And you will be just as impressed by their cocktails.” – WORLD BEST BARS.
