Can’t decide what drink to order at the bar? Well, one posh new cocktail joint will let luck decide for you.
Yep, when Nancy’s opens in London Bridge in June, a ‘Lady Luck’ negroni cart will be roaming the room, allowing anyone who puts their faith in fate to choose their drink with a roll of the dice.
Fortunately, whether you roll a six or a one, there are no losers in this game (as long as you’re a negroni lover, that is). Selected serves range from a classic negroni to one with a chocolate twist served with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange slice, as well as ‘The Rosé’, made using mezcal, sloe gin and a touch of absinthe.
As for the rest of the menu, expect 10 signature cocktails designed to celebrate the local area, with many a nod to the businesses of Borough Market. Nancy’s dirty martini will be made with a brine from Borough Olives, while dessert shop Humble Crumble is the inspo for the bar’s ‘Queen’s Walk’ cocktail. The menu also offers three ‘small sip cocktails’ that riff on classics.
Expect to be supping on these delectable drinks while perched on banquette sofas amid chromatic floor lamps, because Nancy’s has gone full ’70s on the decor. There’s even a private tiger-print pool room and disco ball dance-floor.
A lineup of regular DJs and live acoustic sessions are planned once the bar opens its doors on June 1. Plus, it’ll have sweeping views of the city skyline. We’re all in – now pass us those dice.
