Zeppelin

Launching last week at the Slaughtered Lamb with a full manifest of cabaret acts – the marvelous Marlene Dietrich, the debonair Dorian Black, and need I mention the delightful dancing girls? – Johnny Vercoutre’s ‘gentlemen only’ Zeppelin club is officially up and away.

ZeppelinPotentially the new evening of choice for the now homeless Modern Times vintage brigade, the night was awash with top hats and military regalia, moustachioed belles, gentlemen and drag kings alike. Chalked as a weekly event, I fear it will be tough to pull off such a success every time and the concept’s longevity remains to be seen. But why worry about the future? For now, just dust of that bowler, work on that half-Windsor, reach for a ‘tache and head over to Clerkenwell, dancing moves at the ready.

  • Top Three Bars for … Experimenting

    {mosimage}

    There are certain moments in life when nothing quenches quite like a cold beer. There are those times when it’s a Martini or even a gin and tonic. But then there are those occasions in life when one really ought to live a little; to drink outside the box, as it were. Foams and infusions, essences and caviars, the drinks scene in London is in a very special place right now. Here our top three cocktail bars of the moment getting experimental on our tastebuds.

  • Vuvuzelas At The Ready

    {mosimage}

    Despite our World Cup defeat, we’re not lacking in spirit – but what to do with our now defunct vuvuzelas? We’re taking inspiration from warrior King Shaka Zulu this summer, with the hotly tipped launch of a massive new South African inspired venue – complete with sacrificial ceremonies and cudu on the grill. Toot toot! ?

  • Appleton Bartender's Challenge

    {mosimage}

    A big thank you to all the lovely UJers that turned out in force to join us at Floridita on Monday night for the Appleton Estate Bartender’s Challenge. Drinks were imbibed from three top-notch finalists’ bars, music came courtesy of the fantastic Jazz Trio, someone won a trip to Jamaica (not us, grrr) and who didn’t love the meaty pasties and banana-date puddings?

  • The Sky’s The Limit

    Summer sunshine calls for terraced entertainment, and sure, there’ve been a few contenders. But like a school-kid crush, we’re stuck on Shoreditch House, where our only bugbear has been taken care of by the crowd-controlling extension. So is there any alternative to the roof du jour?
