The Cocktail Lounge at the Townhouse is an exciting collaboration between The Zetter and the creators of the award winning 69 Colebrooke Row, Tony Conigliaro and Camille Hobby Limon.
A drinks pioneer and creator of such modern classics as The Twinkle and Smoked Old Fashioned, Tony Conigliaro has earned a reputation for his ground-breaking approach to cocktail making and the drinking experience. Clerkenwell, once the centre of Dickensian London, was known also for its breweries and Gin distilleries and the unique recipes that Tony has created for The Zetter Townhouse pay homage to that heritage. Old recipes for tinctures, bitters and herbal remedies have inspired not only the cocktails but also the homemade cordials and infusions that sit behind the apothecary style counter.
Accessed through a discreet entrance on St John's Square, the lounge within is a sumptuous and intriguing place. With an open fire crackling in the grate and a bartender fixing your favourite drink it feels like private residence of a most beloved, eccentric and indulgent aunt - we call her Wilhelmina. Packed with curios and oddities from her travels it is a den of lived in luxury - an ideal hideout for an afternoon of lazy reading, a relaxed working lunch or an evening or riotous revelry!
