Velvet By Salvatore Calbrese
Velvet is a cocktail lover's dream, where old Hollywood glamour meets modern mixology magic. Tucked inside London's Corinthia Hotel, this bar isn't just about drinks; it's an experience. Imagine stepping into a space adorned with sultry crimson and deep blue velvets, where gold walls shimmer under the soft glow of fringed lamps. Crafted by the design wizards at David Collins Studio, Velvet whisks you back to an era of jazz, flappers, and the art of the cocktail.
At the helm is Salvatore Calabrese, affectionately known as "The Maestro." His menu is a delightful dance between the classics and contemporary concoctions. Sip on a Prohibition-era Adonis or let the zing of a Spicy Fifty awaken your senses. For those who dare, the Breakfast Martini offers a playful twist. Velvet doesn't just stop at alcohol; seven types of martinis grace the menu, alongside a curated selection of non-alcoholic beverages and mouth-watering small plates.
Every visit is a performance, with the bartenders expertly crafting each drink while the "music of the shake" fills the air. It's a place where elegance and intimacy collide, making it perfect for a romantic escapade or a night to remember.
