The new Bloomsbury Club Bar takes influence from the 1920’s and 30’s, which also transcends into its menu. The golden age of cocktails is highly celebrated with a strong, seductive mix of forgotten classics and innovative new creations inspired by the Bloomsbury Set’s infamous members.

Plush leather armchairs, atmospheric lighting and wall to wall bookshelves create a luxuriously decadent setting for guests to enjoy their chosen tipple as well as a fabulous menu serving up delicious and uncomplicated food. Venture through the bar and you’ll arrive in the enchanting outdoor grotto. With twinkling lights and cosy booths, it’s perfect for spending long summer evenings in.

The drinks menu at The Bloomsbury Club Bar features a selection of original cocktails named after the literary icons that once called the Borough their home. An example of this is theVirginia Woolf, a tart yet fruity cocktail featuring a blend of Gin, fresh lemon, raspberry shrub, Cochi Americano and an egg white.

The bar also has a signature cocktail, Gin and Milk. Rumoured to be the late Queen Mother’s favourite drink, the Gin and Milk is an oft-forgotten classic of Hayman’s Old Tom Gin with full cream and sugar gomme.
