Threadneedle, a new bar at the Royal Exchange

Threadneedle Bar will be opening in The Royal Exchange, this September.

The drinks menu at the Threadneedle Bar will feature old-time favourites while the cocktail list will pay homage to Jerry Thomas’ 1862 ‘Bartenders Guide’, the first-ever mixology book published in the United States and written by the renowned bartender.

The new cocktail menu will include selections of ‘fizzy’, ‘short & seductive’, ‘long & seasonal’, ‘timeless’ concoctions as well as a ‘signature’ collection.

The Threadneedle Bar will also serve a menu of bar food. Highlights include Rock oyster tempura with Vietnamese dipping sauce; truffled goat’s curd on sourdough and soft shell crab, buttermilk and chilli, wild rocket, saffron aioli and grilled brioche.

Newly appointed General Manager Laura Dove comments: “The Royal Exchange is a truly magical building. With the launch of a standalone bar, we want to create an all-day drinking destination in its own right, for City professionals and visitors alike. The cocktail menu inspiration, which draws from the early days of mixology, is in keeping with the history of The Royal Exchange, a celebration of its incredible past as well as its exciting new life in the third millennium. ”

Located on the north-facing mezzanine overlooking the Grand Café’ and boutiques of The Royal Exchange, the bar will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
