JKS Restaurants to reopen 42 at Gymkhana bar
JKS is bringing back its 42 at Gymkhana bar this spring.
One of Mayfair's most exclusive cocktail lounges will reopen its doors this month, as JKS brings back its 42 at Gymkhana bar.
An extension of Gymkhana, JKS Restaurants’ two Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, 42 will offer an 'elevated cocktail experience' in the heart of Mayfair on Albemarle Street when it reopens on 9 April.
Following a period of reimagining, 42 will continue to serve as an intimate cocktail lounge, while also unveiling a new offering as a private dining destination (pictured) for special occasions and events, allowing guests to experience Gymkhana in a discrete setting.
Guests will be welcomed into the Mayfair townhouse through its own street entrance, adjacent to Gymkhana’s, and led up the staircase into the lounge, where low lighting, soft furnishings, and a collection of art and design elements will set the tone.
The space is open until 2am on weekends and will feature curated DJ sets every Friday and Saturday from 10pm.
Drink it in
The bar will continue to serve its signature cocktails alongside a brand-new selection of drinks, marking the first time that Gymkhana’s cocktail list will be available beyond the restaurant itself, including the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, a blend of Hennessy VSOP, Tanqueray gin, Cloud Tea, strawberry, lemon juice, and Philippe Gonet NV Champagne; the Pegu Club, made with Porter’s Tropical Gin, grapefruit sherbet, lime, Campari, and Sabro hops; and the Jal Jeera, an aromatic mix of Macallan Double Cask 12yo, Somerset Apple EDV, chaat masala bitters, and ginger ale. Alongside this, 42’s signature cocktails will include the Bagheera, the Bhang Lassi and the Clarified Lychee Martini.
Guests can also now enjoy an exclusive selection of small plates and bites from Gymkhana while at 42.
