Launched in February 2016, K Bar is inspired by the sophisticated atmosphere of a gentlemen's club. Deep grained oak panelling line the space which is softened by racing green and royal blue upholstery. Dimly lit lighting and accents of polished brass create a warm and inviting space. An impressive bar front with leather panelling and a rich green marble top accompanies a polished brass back bar display and bespoke wine fridges.
