Cocktail Club opens Canary Wharf site
Following a ‘rapid period of growth’ after being acquired by Nightcap at the beginning of 2021, The Cocktail Club is continuing to work on its regional expansion
The Cocktail Club, formerly known as London Cocktail Club, has officially launched its 17th site, with the opening of its new location in Canary Wharf.
Located at 9 Cabot Square, the bar’s concept was initially conceived by John James ‘JJ’ Goodman and James Hopkins. JJ was crowned the winner of the World’s Best Bartender award at the 2008 Cocktail World Cup. After the pair won the television competition ‘The Restaurant’ in 2009, they founded their first site on Goodge Street.
A further eight sites were opened in London across the following eight years, with their first regional expansion opening in Bristol in 2018.
Goodman and Hopkins set out to create a collection of bars wherein customers could experience “best-in-class cocktails within exciting, ‘theatrical’ environments”.
Signature cocktails on offer will include the ‘Solero Sundae’ with coconut rum, mango, passionfruit and cream, topped with a passionfruit mousse, plus their ‘Southside Royal’ with gin, prosecco and a spray of absinthe mist.
Following a “rapid period of growth” after being acquired by Nightcap at the beginning of 2021, The Cocktail Club is continuing to work on its regional expansion.
JJ Goodman, co-founder of The Cocktail Club, said: “We are beyond excited to have launched our latest site in Canary Wharf. This is our 11th site in London and it feels great to bring our mantra, ‘welcome to the party’, to the heart of the financial district. At The Cocktail Club, we’re all about giving our guests a good time.
“We’re a place where people can really let their hair down. With our swinging lights, throwing ice and bartenders putting on a theatrical show, there’s always something going on. We hope to see everybody join us at our Canary Wharf site soon.”
