London bar pumps gin and tonic into the air

Adults are often reminded to drink responsibly but customers entering a new cocktail bar where they are literally enveloped in a mist of alcohol are warned to breathe responsibly.

Just 40 minutes inside the venue – which delivers an intoxicating vapour of gin and tonic – will leave you feeling slightly merry.

Punters are also advised to don special protective suits as they enter the walk-in cocktail to avoid going home smelling like a brewery.



To complement the whiff of G&T the bar is decorated with giant limes and massive straws to make visitors feel as if they are inside the drink.

The experience is further enhanced by a special soundtrack featuring the noise of liquid being poured over ice cubes.

The bar, which has capacity for 40 people, is the brainchild of gastronomes Sam Bompas and Harry Parr. The Alcoholic Architecture bar can be found in Ganton Street, the Newburgh Quarter, central London.
