The Montague on the Gardens has opened up their terrace once again, and this time you can expect beach huts, jet skis, palm trees and good vibes all around. Transporting you to a Caribbean paradise, the Central London favourite is one for your summer bucket list.
In collaboration with Universal Pictures and in celebration of the upcoming Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme, Bob Bob Ricard's Red Room will be transformed into a lavish pop-up inspired by the movie's world. Not only will the “press for champagne” button restaurant have a venue takeover for four weeks from 23rd May to 22nd June, but there's also a limited edition menu.
Called Marseille Bob's - the name of the luxurious, cinematic bar also featured in the motion picture - the pop-up will transport you into the world of The Phoenician Scheme through immersive design, theatrical food and drink, and staff dressed in white blazers, red carnations, and signature fez hats. Here, you can experience the iconic feel of a Wes Anderson film in real life. Four original drinks are also available, including Tycoon on the Rocks - a pipette-served margarita that changes colour, designed to resemble a poison test.
When it comes to the most gorgeous pop-up bars, The Wild Monkey in Covent Garden is a great shout. You can get stuck in gorgeous greenery, pretty forest-themed interiors and plush seating all while slinging back a Monkey 47 gin cocktail.
