Setting up the big screen for the match this evening 😂

Fear not non-football fans, service will be operating as normal tonight - I might be slightly distracted by live text updates but you can still chill out in a football-free…ish environment!

As a lifetime Arsenal fan, I'll be looking forward to/utterly dreading the Champions League Final on Saturday evening. In celebration/commiseration of the potential result, for ONE DAY ONLY I'll be offering Arsenal-themed cocktails in the Speakeasy - but don't worry, the regular menu will also be available and there's no big screens to spoil your relaxing time! (I can't vouch for stress shown by the bartender, however...)

The Summertime Spritz is being transformed into the Gunner-time Spritz, with some strawberry puree being added to add extra attacking prowess. Nothing will get past the Spicy Marga-Raya (hopefully!), while you can speed past the opposition with an Espresso Martinelli or dazzle the defence with a Max Dowmanhattan! (Yes I know he still can't legally drink, but the pun was too good not to use!)

This Saturday ONLY, from 2pm until 8pm - no extra time I'm afraid!

Had some leftover fizz after the weekend’s business, might as well finish it off, eh?

The new Summer-inspired cocktail menu is now LIVE!

Sip a Summertime Spritz, spice things up with a Margarita Picoso, cool off with a Parisian Mojito, or unwind with a Grand Cosmopolitan - and make the most of the good weather while it lasts!

And this was just in the front half of the shop 😳

A hectic but fulfilling day today, thank you so much to all who came in for a drink, the atmosphere was fantastic!

And of course thank you even more to my amazing wife for helping out, safe to say without her assistance I would have had a breakdown 😆
