Mondrian London has announced a programme of American-inspired events throughout the hotel to celebrate July 4th this summer, and to honour the hotel’s American heritage.
For those who aren’t getting a chance to venture across the pond for the celebrations this year, award-winning bar Dandelyan will be joined by the team from acclaimed San Francisco bar, Trick Dog. Trick Dog, nominated for the best American cocktail bar by Tales of the Cocktail this year, is known for its creativity; bi-annual themed menus, such as the recent ‘Trick Dog for President’ and ‘Trick Dog Mural Project’, are on offer at the lively craft cocktail bar in Mission District.
Ryan Chetiyawardana and the team at Dandelyan will collaborate on an exclusive one-off menu with their American counterparts to produce their most innovative versions of a number of classics. The guest team will join forces with Dandelyan on Sunday 2nd July for Sunday Lyan, the friendly industry night with a guest DJ which is held every Sunday. Their cocktail creations from the evening will then be exclusively available on a special ‘Independence Day’ menu from Sunday evening to Tuesday 4th July.
The hotel’s restaurant, Sea Containers at Mondrian London will draw on its American heritage to create a one-off menu of classics such as an ‘All American Burger’ and ‘Baby Back Ribs’ alongside a selection of hard shakes. The menu will be available all week for visitors to enjoy, alongside their a la carte. Should London be graced with sunshine, guests will be able to enjoy the American menu on the recently opened Summer Terrace, which is located directly on the Thames River path.
The celebrations continue upstairs on Tuesday 4 July at Rumpus Room, the twelfth-floor lounge, with interiors inspired by summers in the Hamptons and an eclectic mix of American music, food and drink. Jazz & blues band, ‘Angela’s Quartet’, will also be performing classic USA hits with a 21st century twist. The drinks menu will feature cocktails from Kentucky-based Bulleit Bourbon, including ‘The Bulleit Boilermaker’, a craft beer and shot of 45% ABV bourbon.
The food menu will encompass a selection of sharing plates featuring mini hot dogs and sliders. Reservations for the evening will be available so guests can reserve their spot to raise a toast whilst enjoying views of the London skyline.
