Brigadiers, which opens in Summer 2018 in the Bloomberg Arcade, will be a contemporary Indian barbecue and beer tavern inspired by the army mess bars of India, where regiments go to eat, drink and socialise. A reception will lead guests into a myriad of rooms including a dining room, a bar stocked with over 30 different beers and enviable whisky selection, a taps room, and three private dining rooms including a ‘pot luck’ conservatory. Encouraging socialising and comradery, live sport will be shown on demand across selected rooms, while a pool table and classic card games will be offered for those who wish to play while they eat and drink.
