KETTNER'S - A CHEEKY V-DAY! 

Award-winning head bartender Scott Mather has created two exclusive cocktails available from the 6th to 15th February, solving this year’s Valentine’s Day dilemma with a martini for the ladies and a contemporary twist on the classic Old Fashioned for the gentlemen.

With a cheeky innuendo, and based on a martini, ladies can enjoy a ‘Lost my Cherry’ garnished with a sunken cherry and a handmade pink sugar rim for a sherbet after-taste.

For the gentleman, enjoy The King of Soho’s take on an Old Fashioned with ‘The Old Soho Fox’. With a touch of grenadine to give it a punch, an Old Soho Fox is the perfect Valentine’s treat for the gentlemen.

Where to go in London to See in the New Year

 KETTNER'S 

Kettner’s is set to welcome guests to bring in the New Year with a Black Tie Masquerade Ball.
With two floors of revelry, a dining room full of history and three bars, Kettner’s is the ideal setting to see in 2015.
 Kettner’s will provide a glamorous night of cabaret, live music, burlesque, swing dance lessons, a live band and DJs until 3am.
Think of the decadence of the Venetian masquerades, where mystery hangs in the air. Think of the renaissance era, the beautiful gowns, ornate masks and carefree consumption. Then imagine your New Year’s Eve celebrations in a Grade II listed building, where masked guests experience the best of times in one of the most historical and glamorous buildings in Soho!

 Dining tickets are £110 per person which include a 3-course gourmet meal and entry into the Masquerade Ball.
Tickets for the Masquerade Ball only are £50.
