What they say:

The goal is to create an All-American cocktail bar that mirrors the vibes offered in The Lockhart restaurant upstairs. Come if you like bespoke cocktails heavy on the bourbon and don’t forget to grab a bite to eat; bar snacks include deviled eggs, catfish goujons, fried chicken and beef ribs. At a capacity of 35, this is a minimalist, elusive basement spot.

What we say:

Head mixologist Matt Whiley is as bold and adventurous as they come when it comes to cocktails. The architect behind innovative blends like the Pigs Bloody Mary and the Marmite Martini, he’s arriving in this Marylebone basement to re-brand and re-work a few American classics. With Iced Tea cocktails on tap and lashings of whiskey involved, this is an innovative new space for Deep South indulgence.
