Opening back in June, a summer time of numerous escapades meant that I've most effective had a threat to visit currently whilst the guys at Patrón tequila invited me to enroll in them for the Playboy Halloween Ball.
Arriving relatively early with my female buddy Anna in tow, we were greeted via a host of bubbly and vivacious playboy bunnies dressed in their signature bunny costumes. As the night kicked off, members and guests had been handled to complimentary Patrón XO cocktails, inclusive of their delicious Cafe Espresso Martinis (my private favorite), the Patrón XO Raging Bunny and chilled Patrón XO Cafe pictures, that have been dramatically surrounded with dry ice that cascaded off the bar.
The reality it became early meant that we had accurate time to have a actual go searching the venue with cocktails in hand, and get a sense for the location earlier than it got busy. Contemporary and stylish, you could see that a lot has been invested in the interior, which become designed by way of the gifted team also responsible for the brand new W London Hotel.
The upstairs had a real uber-slick Mad Men experience to it, with huge leather-based recliners and a gaming ground featuring 22 tables for roulette, blackjack and poker, a eating place for forty diners and a Gentleman's Tonic concession for male grooming remedies. It also had an enclosed outside terrace for the people who smoke, which additionally served as a great location to satisfy and mingle with others faraway from the excitement interior.
The downstairs bar boasted an excellent choice of liquors supplied fantastically in a beveled-glass wall and a cocktail list to rival most Mayfair golf equipment, concocted via 'The Maestro' of cocktail specialists, Salvatore Calabrese. After getting chatting to the golf equipment VIP Marketing Coordinator who turned into type sufficient to show us around fast, he insisted that we also try one of the club's signature cocktails, the 'Spicy Fifty', a deliciously candy but fiery cocktail containing a whole chilli, which changed into flawlessly scrumptious.
The aspect I preferred about Playboy turned into that the crowd it attracted wasn't in any way pretentious. It changed into clear that they had cash, however no longer in a conceited or egotistical way that you can frequently discover at some of the opposite members golf equipment within the location. Completely refreshing.
So will I be returning to Playboy? Most truly. As women and not using a preconceptions of the vicinity, we had a outstanding time, met a few really exciting humans and left with a actual accurate buzz surrounding the evening. And if each person has any objections to the Playboy membership, I'd suggest going and visiting it for yourself.
