Opera Quarter Bar

about2

The Opera Quarter Bar has now closed in it’s current location; we have new plans ahead, so keep posted to find out where we pop-up again.

Open for a short period only, the Opera Quarter Bar, showcasing the world’s leading bartenders, designers, artists and musicians is THE London destination for Summer 09.
The aim was to create an exciting inclusive bar in central London which offers the same,  if not better, level of service than the most exclusive members club. Think posh squat party for the many Londoners unable to go abroad this year.
In keeping with this spirit prices are not inflated and there’s always something happening whether its moonlighting DJ and acoustic sets from top band members on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons or guest Bar Star Sets from the world’s leading mixologists on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Food & Drink

Drink menus celebrate the cocktail covering different decades/themes including  Tiki, Disco, Hollywood Glam etc plus Douglas’s top ten best creations including his world famous Porn Star Martini.

Drinks must be accompanied by food.

The Opera Quarter Bar & Supper Club serves a choice of menus either Japanese or Modern European menus daily from Midday. The menus come from our sister Opera Quarter restaurants Hi Sushi and Le Cafe du Jardin where they are made fresh to order and then brought round.
