  • Perrier-Jouët Champagne with Jazz

    £30.00 per person

    Apr 18, 2024 - Jan 5, 2025
    Every Thursday & Friday evening between 7-10.15pm, listen to live jazz music with Perrier-Jouët Champagne served from magnums. The Lobby Bar is our dynamic drinking destination at the corner of Covent Garden, known for exquisite and inventive signature cocktails crafted by our master mixologists. As the name suggests, rather than being tucked away our bar is the beating heart of our beautifully-curated lobby, punctuated with offbeat objets d’art and framed by the building’s art nouveau curves.

    Amazing venue, atmosphere and delicious cocktails topped off and made exceptional by Julia who could not have looked after us better! She is a credit to One Aldwych - we will be back and would love her to help us again! She made our evening very special. Thank you Julia.
