Cocktails with skyline views, disco balls, and velvet sofas




"Also at The Standard, I found Sweeties to function as a cocktail bar and discotheque, adding nocturnal energy to the hotel." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"The Standard, London in King’s Cross has taken a page out of Studio 54’s playbook with their late-night lounge. The disco ball could be mistaken for a planet, there’s plenty of orange crushed velvet sofas to pose on, and a sea of sequin jumpsuits to match the glittering skyline views. The house cocktails aren’t ashamed to be a bit silly, or very sweet and blue, and it’s ideal boogie territory once the DJ hits the decks. Quiet catch-ups need not apply." - heidi lauth beasley
"Sweeties is equal parts fun and fancy, but with a lot less St. Moritz ski trip chat than the faux signet ring convention at Infernos. Take a glass lift up to the 10th floor of The Standard hotel and enter a fabulous world of super-sized disco balls, sequin jumpsuits, and crushed velvet sofas. Get a No Limits cocktail (lemongrass, fresh ginger, tequila), have a little dance with your group, and drink in the glittering King’s Cross skyline." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"2-4-1 on the same cocktail from 6pm to 7pm on Wednesdays Sweeties is not a casual bar. This is somewhere to drink in the glittering London skyline, go big during Happy Hour, and celebrate a special occasion with tasty, creative cocktails. To get here, you take a glass lift up to the 10th floor of The Standard London hotel. As you rise, King’s Cross’ grey streets, trains, and pigeons melt away. And a fabulous world of super-sized disco balls, sequin jumpsuits, and crushed velvet sofas emerges. The priority at this lounge is making the most of the one-hour 2-4-1 offer with a No Limits—tequila, lemongrass, ginger, lemon—cocktail." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

Mundane things don't matter here—what is laundry?—instead the priority at this lounge is getting a No Limits cocktail and drinking in the glittering London skyline. Dates in their best clothes and groups monopolising the sofas take pictures of themselves against the night sky, cheersing to a birthday. This is not a casual bar.
