Bar Blue is the first style bar of this kind in the London Bridge area, the brain child of Trevor Gulliver of St John, Bombay Sapphire, Claudio Pulze and Vinopolis, it provides a further element to the successful regeneration of this gastronomic pocket of Southwark.
Designed by Greig + Stephenson Architects, it is tucked neatly into the dramatic railway archways at Vinopolis, and is the perfect compliment to the award winning Cantina Restaurant.
The brand colours of Bombay Sapphire Gin have been used, creating an elegant floral pattern that was inspired by the collection of ingredients used in the beverage known as “the botanicals”. The frame created for the bar is made out of blue mirrored glass and has the intricate pattern etched out. This allows for two visual effects, which alternate between day and night. During daylight hours the etched out flowers within the blue mirrored surface will have a very subtle effect of surprising the eye which finds them, whereas at night, lighting behind the glass will shine through the floral etching to illuminate the bar, increasing its visibility from the street.
With an impressive cocktail menu, Bar Blue is the perfect place to relax before or after a Vinopolis wine tour.
