London: DesignMyNight Presents The Mistletoe Mixer At Merchant House

@ Secret Bar on Various dates from Thursday 1st August 2024

Is there anything quirkier than a Christmas pop-up in the middle of summer? We didn't think so. This year, DesignMyNight is hosting The Mistletoe Mixer, London's first-ever Christmas-themed bar to open in the summer. Hidden behind a secret toilet door, this kooky event takes place at Merchant House and seats just 12 people at one time. We're talking retro festive decor, non-stop Christmassy tunes, and four different seasonal cocktails to sip, from a winter spice-infused negroni to the spiced apple and ginger Grinch. Tickets for two or three are a steal at only £35 each, with two drinks included per person and the option of ordering delicious cheese or charcuterie boards for just £25. Fancy renting the whole place to yourself? You can book for up to 8 to 12 guests at £65 each, which includes four drinks per person and complimentary bar snacks.
