This August, The Gambit Bar offers London a spirited glimpse into the world of The Newman — the soon-to-launch Fitzrovia hotel already making waves for its bold aesthetic and refined edge. Taking pride of place within Cocktails in the City, The Gambit invites guests into a world where Art Deco elegance meets eccentric charm, inspired by the mystics and Vorticists who once roamed these very streets.
An intimate sanctuary of craftsmanship, The Gambit pairs expertly mixed cocktails with local craft beers and gourmet small plates, all served with quiet confidence and a touch of the unexpected. It’s a tribute to Fitzrovia’s bohemian soul, blending classical and contemporary with irreverent flair. Think timeless glamour peppered with playful nods to cultural provocateurs — where every garnish and gesture feels uniquely theatrical.
Part of The Newman, opening Autumn 2025, Gambit reflects the hotel’s ethos of ‘thoughtful excellence’ — a vision championed by new hospitality group Kinsfolk & Co. With a team drawn from London’s finest establishments, The Newman promises a grown-up but joyful experience across design, service, wellness and dining. Gambit’s role? To celebrate the art of living well, Fitzrovian-style.
Whether you’re craving elegance with edge or curious to preview one of London’s most anticipated destinations, Gambit at Cocktails in the City promises an unforgettable prelude. A taste of what’s to come — and a moment to revel in the beauty of bold beginnings.
See you at the bar.
