Bourne & Hollingsworth cocktail bar in Fitzrovia will be hosting the ultimate house party

Featuring ‘DIY dad’s drinks cabinet’ cocktails, a DJ playing guest’s favourite records and an atmosphere that captures memories of teenage excitement and a misspent youth, The Bourne & Hollingsworth New Year’s Eve party harks back to a simpler time when the success of a soiree hinged on how many couples were found kissing under the coats.

 Bourne & Hollingsworth on Rathbone place is an intimate basement bar that is designed to look and feel like your auntie’s living room. On New Year’s Eve, the bar’s design will help make guests feel as though they’re in their own house, but with the added benefit of good looking strangers and a proper sound system.

On arrival, all guests will be presented with their own cocktail making kit: three miniature bottles of seemingly random spirits and a miniature cocktail shaker to recreate the truly original mixers of our youth - Babycham, Sherry and Advocaat anyone?

For those less adventurous, Bourne & Hollingsworth’s talented cocktail experts will be creating the bar’s trademark classic drinks all night. Instead of the usual house party practice of guests leaving with someone else’s jacket or one of mum’s best crystal glasses, Bourne & Hollingsworth’s guests will be given a goody bag upon departure.
