Indulge in an evening of cocktails and mischief at The Bloomsbury Club

Perfect for both literary lovers and dads who like to unwind in style, a night spent at The Bloomsbury’s glamorous underground bar promises to be a memorable night out in the capital. 

Named after the famous Bloomsbury Set – the group of artists, intellectuals and nobility who lived in the area’s garden squares in the early 20th Century – the bar is a cool and cosy space to enjoy a cocktail, a cigar and catch up with your dad. The wood panelled walls give a traditional member’s club vibe and the cabinets behind the bar display a range of interesting bottles from around the world. The comfortable chesterfield armchairs are placed in quiet corners for you and your father to unwind in.

The creative cocktail menu was inspired by the unconventional actions of the members of the Bloomsbury Set, with a map of their relationships sketched out in the menu . If dark spirits are more your dad’s tipple of choice, then a vast list of world whiskeys will keep him happy as the night goes on. With light bar snacks available to order and regular jazz bands and singers performing, The Bloomsbury Club bar offers a sophisticated, speakeasy vibe, perfect for dads who like to do something different.
