Volstead Lounge Opens

Do you (still) think you’ll be ‘spotted’ outside Topshop? Is your hairdresser your best friend? Are you likely to pout when being looked at (like, all the time)?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above, rejoice.

Because the team behind Cocoon, Boujis and Eclipse bars opens Volstead today, a new club/lounge that is just as good-looking as you are.  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.

The place has a swanky 1920s vibe: there are mirrored panels (most of which are Sybilla’s originals) on almost every wall.

So you’ll definitley spot someone beautiful.

Volstead, 9 Swallow Street, W1 (020 7287 1919 or volstead.com).
