Open daily from 4 - 8pm and in collaboration with Campari, Velvet Alfresco will offer endless aperitifs and a refreshing seasonal cocktail menu that will whisk you away to the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast. Join us for a taste of la dolce vita, right here in London.
Limited bookings available, walk-ins welcome.
A late-night Champagne and cocktail bar, allowing the forbidden and a joie de vivre. In partnership with world-renowned drinks expert, Salvatore Calabrese, Velvet is bringing back the theatre to cocktail-making with a menu that celebrates bygones past alongside the innovations of today.
Our innovative menu, named 'The Quote Book', draws its inspiration from the profound words of historical icons, and using the power of AI. From Frida Kahlo to Walt Disney, Marie Curie to Coco Chanel, their wisdom ignited the imaginations of Salvatore and our Velvet team to produce an exceptional collection of cocktails. This menu is a fusion of history and modernity, and a journey through time and taste.
"I believe that one person can make a difference" - Greta Thunberg | A harmonious blend of Ketel One Vodka, Palo Cortado and Adriatico Liqueur, this cocktail is served in a vessel crafted from wax, each with its own unique tale to tell. 'Love Generation' also contains our special homemade Lemon Verbena Milk, created from leftover citrus peel and sugar to form a delicious zero-waste cordial.
"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun" - Pablo Picasso | Complementing this spiced, tropical cocktail is a stunning ceramic vessel. Handcrafted in Sicily, it is inspired by Picasso's recognisable artworks and features four of his most-used colours.
"Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss" - Benjamin Button | Inspired by the well-loved movie, this long cocktail is an expression of both the young and the old. One glass contains two different drinks which combine perfectly when sipped.
