Welcome to Alcoholic Architecture, brought to you by Bompas & Parr. You are about to enter a world where meteorology, mixology and monasticism collide.
At its heart, a walk-in cloud of breathable cocktail – the world’s first alcoholic weather system for your tongue – presented as an installation that explodes drinks to the scale of architecture.
Located on the site of a former monastery and next to London’s oldest Gothic cathedral, our cloud is presented as part of a journey that pays tribute to monks and other religious orders that have been responsible for creating iconic liquors over the centuries. Our cocktail list is entirely comprised of spirits and beers created by monks: potations such as Chartreuse, Benedictine, Champagne, Trappist beers and even the notorious Buckfast – a fortified wine so savage that some Scottish politicians are calling for a ban of the caffeinated intoxicant.
