SWEETIES HAS LAUNCHED
The capital’s most talked about hotel, The Standard, London, have launched Sweeties, a new 10th floor cocktail bar and late-night spot. Sweeties offer a menu of naturally mood-boosting cocktails created by The Standard in collaboration with award-winning mixologists, Jack Sotti and Todd Austin. Ochre velvet sofas, ruched leather banquettes, mirrored tables, and a six-foot antique phallic sculpture set the tone for this intimate new destination: new wave glamour meets glorious misbehaviour. Sweeties will be open from 5pm on Wednesday to Saturday each week. The venue has room for 80 (seated) to 150 (standing). Reservations are recommended and can be made at www.standardhotels.com/london/features/sweeties
