Bar Arriba brings a rooftop Mexican affair to Olympia from the people behind The Prince

We've already had the launch of Pillar Hall at the revamped Olympia, but that was only the start of all that's happening there. With two hotels and a big entertainment venue to come, there will also be a new destination rooftop bar and restaurant, and that's Bar Arriba.

This is the latest opening from the Incipio Group, the people behind Pergola (in Canary Wharf and Brixton) and another west London hit, The Prince. For this new opening, they're taking a Mexican-inspired approach. So that means a menu with tacos like tacos like achiote-marinated octopus, Baja fish or al pastor pork alongside bigger dishes like Chipotle beef short rib and the beer-brined Pollo Borracho half chicken with pineapple habanero slaw.

They'll also go big on Saturday brunch with a bottomless "Casa Arriba" brunch, including huevos rancheros with blue corn tortillas and a birria brisket crumpet with black beans and melted cheddar. As for drinks, cocktails will be classics with a Mexican twist like Jalisco Old Fashioned, made with Altos Reposado Tequila, Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, agave and chocolate bitters. We imagine they may well have some margaritas on the list, too. 

As for the place itself, there's a fully retractable roof (with heaters if needed in this lovely climate of ours), and they're promising "panoramic skyline views".
