We just got word about this awesome sounding bar, opening this week in W1. It's called Volstead and comes from the team behind uber-cool establishments, Cocoon, Boujis and Eclipse bar. It claims to be a new club/lounge that is just as good-looking as you are. Have you looked in the m
irror lately, darling you're faaaabulous! Built on the site of former 60s hotspot Sybilla's, Volstead is named after the wally who passed the Prohibition Act (ironically inducing one massive party).
Cocktails like the Flying Yellowly or Chicago Ginger come from London's grooviest barman, Andreas, formerly of Momo's, whilst dinner includes a sophisticated Wagyu (i.e., massaged to perfection) beef burger, truffled mac 'n' cheese and home fries with sour cream and caviar. Mmmmmm, be still my rumbling stomach!
Plus, unlike anywhere that we can think of in the Big Smoke, Volstead has a swanky 1920s vibe: there are mirrored panels (most of which are Sybilla's originals) on almost every wall. Get those gloves and sexy ciggy holders out ladies, let's step back in time.
