The team behind Coupette have opened a more experimental offshoot with French small plates in Soho. We went down to see how it compares to the original.
- Gymkhana is opening a brand new cocktail bar called 42
It's loved by celebrities as well as being one of the most critically rated Indian restaurants in London. Now Michelin-starred Gymkhana is getting ready to open a new cocktail bar, 42.
The name alludes to Gymkhana's address on Albemarle Street but the entrance to the bar will actually be through the door neighbouring the restaurant. It's going to be a late-night haunt, with last orders at 2am every evening.
And that,
... - Core by Clare Smyth opens Whiskey & Seaweed Bar in Notting Hill
Back at the end of summer, Clare Smyth's three Michelin-starred restaurant Core shut its doors in Notting Hill for what they described as "a refurbishment of our bar and dining room". Now it turns out that they've spent that time not simply refurbishing the restaurant but in fact building a new bar.
Whiskey & Seaweed (the e in the name will be a nod to Clare's Northern Irish heritage) is named after
... - Camino in King's Cross is opening an aperitivo bar on Pentonville
King's Cross residents and workers have long loved the hidden spot Camino, tucked away in Vanisher's Yard off the main drag. But the Spanish spot will soon be a lot less of a hidden gem once it opens its new Pentonville Road-facing bar. As part of a big development, Camino has taken over the old luggage shop on Pentonville and turned it into an aperitivo bar that'll also be a new entrance for the restaurant
... - Searcys Champagne Bar comes to Battersea Power Station
Updated 18/10/23 with opening date and launch offer
The big refit of Battersea Power Station that we've seen over the past few years isn't finished yet. Next up for the station is a brand-new Champagne bar.
It comes from Searcys, whose most well-known bar is the one that aligns the Eurostar platform at St Pancras. They'd previously popped up at Battersea with

We bring you a big development in the world of spirits and an exciting cocktail destination for East London, with the news that Brandy House Bar is now open in Walthamstow.
Launched by Burnt Faith, who opened the UK’s first brandy distillery in the location this summer, the bar is on a mission to educate palates new (or even adverse/agnostic) to the world of
... - Atelier Coupette sees the Coupette team serving up cocktails and French small plates in Soho
Fans of Bethnal Green's Coupette, get ready - they're coming to Soho.
The new bar will be called Atelier Coupette and, as the name suggests, it'll be a bit different from their original bar. Following on from the Sunday sessions in the Bethnal Green which were more experimental events used to create new cocktails, Atelier Coupette is also going to have an
... - The 411 brings some stateside sass to Angel
Opening its doors in Islington is The 411, a new bar from the Incipio Group who are also behind such behemoths as The Prince in Earl's Court and Pergola in Paddington. Fittingly they've found an equally capacious space for their latest bar The 411, taking over the old Jamie's Italian site at Angel.
The 411 is being billed as a 'neighbourhood bar' taking NYC's Soho as its inspiration. That translates to the food menu
... - The Guards Bar and Lounge brings Singapore Slings and high-end cognac to Raffles London at the OWO
We're gearing up for the launch of The OWO and Raffles London at The OWO which, as you'll have read here, is packed full of new bars and restaurants. The latest we're hearing about is The Guards Bar and Lounge which is the first of two bars opening on the hotel side.
It's

Just months after chef James Cochran closed his own sports bar Valderrama's in Islington, another hospitality group are clearly hoping for a better outcome for their new sports bar opening at Angel. Maven Leisure (owned by the same people behind Chelsea's The Botanist and Aviary in Moorgate) are behind Northwood which is going to be opening at the Angel Central shopping centre, next to Birdie's.
It's going to be
... - The Berkeley opens its rooftop pool bar in Knightsbridge to all
We're always on the lookout for a hot new rooftop bar and the one opening up at The Berkeley sounds on point. There's long been a lovely swimming pool and lounging space up at the top of the Knightsbridge hotel, but that's always been reserved for guests only - until now.
From next month The Berkeley Rooftop Bar will be open to all in the evenings, and it has amazing views over central London. There's a lift to whisk
... - Test Driving Larry's - the glamorous new dive bar at the National Portrait Gallery
London has a new cocktail bar that definitely shouldn't be left to the tourists visiting the National Portrait Gallery. We find ourselves very much falling for Larry's.
- Yannick Alleno is also opening Bar Antoine in London
We've known for some time that multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alleno was opening a top-tier restuarant, Pavyllon, in London (they're apparently deep in soft opening mode right now). But news that he's also going to be running a bar alongside that surprisedlu us today.
Bar Antoine, named after the chef's late son, sounds like it might be just the place to try some of Alleno's cooking, without the

If you’re knocking about King’s Cross and looking for a new bar, then why not head for one of London’s major landmarks, the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel (also where the Spice Girls filmed their ‘Wannabe’ video, fact fans), soon to celebrate its 150th anniversary.
- These Days are opening an aperitivo bar on Bermondsey Beer Mile
You've got to admire the chutzpah of spritz brand These Days who have picked Bermondsey's Beer Mile as the place they've decided to open their first bar. From this summer anyone in the area who fancies something different to craft beer will be able to head to their aperitivo bar instead.
If you haven't tried any of the drinks before, they're a mix of fruit and organic wine. Opt for Sundown Spritz,
