New London Rooftop Bar Will Be Biggest Ever with 1,000 Capacity
Getting a space at some of London’s most famous rooftop bars can be difficult, especially during the warmer months. However, the new London rooftop bar Freight Brixton aims to remedy that issue with room for 1,000 guests at the open-air venue.
The bar takes a “drink, dance and dine” approach, with reggae DJ David Rodigan hosting the opening party on 9 May. A selection of DJs and music collectives will perform throughout the summer, spanning genres such as funk, jazz, and soul.
There is also a variety of artisanal food and drink outlets, along with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. While no chefs have been announced yet, the culinary approach will involve cooking much of the food over an open-fire BBQ.
London Rooftop Bar with World Cup Screenings
Freight Brixton will also feature live screenings for the World Cup, which begins this June, with games streamed from the United States. Entry will generally be free, although special events are ticketed and currently on sale, including for England fixtures during the World Cup.
As for drinks, Casamigos is the main bar. It is tequila-led, specializing in margaritas, palomas, and other tequila cocktails. There is also the Hotel Milano aperitivo bar, inspired by the Northern Italian style of relaxed pre-dinner drinking. Expect spritzes and “easy-drinking” wines as the sun sets.
