Gambit Bar, a new subterranean cocktail bar beneath The Newman hotel in Fitzrovia, has launched.
The 60-cover bar - alongside sister venue Angelica, a brasserie serving Northern European food, is in partnership with hospitality firm Kinsfolk & Co.
The space is "inspired by the timeless allure of iconic bars across the globe", while the decor from Lind + Almond is designed to channel Fitzrovia’s bohemian past with “bold geometric interiors".
The decor features a coffered ceiling, while the bar sees a copper bar top, and the venue’s seating comes in the form of green booths and high-tops which will line the room at either side.
The Stage at the far end of the pace offers a semi-private experience for up to 15 guests.
Overseen by head of food and drink Eder Neto, the bar’s cocktail programme includes Excitement and Fate, with rum, pineapple, cherry, shiso and sesame; and a Picante twist: True Gift, made with tequila, lime, birds eye chillies, blood orange and smoked salt.
