What makes your bar different?
Our unique style of products that you can't find at most bars, from Quinine Syrup for house-made tonics, to spirits such as Wray & Nephew and Batavia Arrack. Also, our selection of barrel aged cocktails have been a big hit.
Who will I meet at your bar?
There's a good chance you could run into a celebrity, but at least always somebody interesting. Gilt attracts a very cool and unique clientele.
What's the design/atmosphere of your bar?
Very Manhattan designer-hotel style bar, with the same style cocktails to match.
Who is pouring at your bar and what makes them special?
As bar manager, I get in the mix when we are busy but I am blessed with a great team led by Marcellus Heleta, who is one of the best I have had the pleasure of working with. He does it with style and class, with the knowledge to back it up.
Best hangover cure?
You can't go past the Ghost of Mary – 45ml Jalapeño and American bacon infused Vodka, 60ml tomato consomme, 4 dashes of celery bitters, pickled asparagus served in a bacon salt rimmed Martini glass.
