In recent days London has been teased with a glimpse of what life will look like in the city in just a few months’ time. The sun’s been out, the weather warm and outdoor seating areas full. We reckon everyone was around 70 percent merrier than normal.
When spring finally kicks in, you can count on Londoners to immediately beeline for a beer garden of rooftop bar. And soon, there’ll be a new rooftop bar to add to your list. St Paul’s bar Sabine is launching its second rooftop venue in April, taking over the terrace at the NYX Hotel in Holborn.
The hotel’s old rooftop bar, named the Glasshouse, had a rather dark interior with a few pops of hot pink or purple here and there. Sabine has transformed it into a much brighter space, focusing on coral and terracotta tones and funky patterned upholstery.
Like its St Paul’s bar, Sabine’s newest spot will mostly focus on cocktails and small plates. While we don’t know exactly what those will be yet, the menu at the OG bar includes things like tacos, mac ’n’ cheese croquettes and arancini. And if the Holborn branch is anything like the first Sabine, we could expect bottomless brunches and DJ nights too.
What’s more, it won’t have to be sunny for you to pay Sabine Holborn a visit. There will also be a generously sized indoor space from which you’ll still be able to admire the city views.
Nigel Tindall, venue director, said: ‘Building on the success of St Paul’s, this new rooftop reflects our continued commitment to creating vibrant, design-led destinations defined by exceptional cocktails and a compelling guest experience. Holborn is a dynamic and well-connected area, and we look forward to introducing a refined yet welcoming rooftop setting that guests can enjoy throughout the year.’
