Welcome to Gambit Bar

 Tuesday – Saturday

5pm – 12am

Step into Gambit Bar, an intimate underground speakeasy hidden beneath The Newman hotel.

Where the energy of a night out in Fitzrovia meets the vibrant edge of Soho, we are quickly becoming known as one of the best bars in London.

Honouring the city’s historic drinking houses, our mixologists shake up some of the best cocktails in London – reinterpreting classic flavours with contemporary, Vorticist-inspired twists alongside local craft beers from Kernel and Two Tribes. As the evening evolves, the space transitions into a dynamic late-night lounge with resident DJs setting the mood. Explore this week’s lineup below.

Located within The Newman, and perfectly position for a pre- or post-dinner drink at Brasserie Angelica.
