The Met Bar in London’s hip, modern Metropolitan London hotel grabbed headlines in the late '90s when the likes of Kate Moss and rock star Liam Gallagher made it their second home.
Adding a high-tech touch, the glass wall separating indoors from out is electro-technically treated to become etched at dusk, obscuring revelers from the gaze of passersby. Tables are made of back-painted glass with golden highlights, and a raised private VIP booth sits beside the staircase with views through to the main bar area.
Renowned British artist Giles Miller, known for his Stella McCartney pop-up store in Paris, created a bespoke corrugated cardboard relief for the space. The new cocktail menu is a "fusion of the classical and innovative" using exclusive vintages and limited edition Champagnes, paired with seasonal British classic cuisine.
