A limited-edition Wes Anderson bar has popped up in Soho
Pastel facades, retro outfits, deadpan expressions, perfect symmetry and Bill Murray. If you know exactly what we're talking about, then you might be interested to know that something new has popped up in London that could be right up your street. In celebration of the quirky director's new film The Phoenician Scheme, a Wes Anderson-inspired bar has opened up at Bob Bob Ricard in Soho. The venue's Red Room has been temporarily transformed into Marseille Bob's, the fictional bar that stars in the movie. Everything from the drinks to the placemats are based on The Phoenician Scheme 's plot, aesthetic, characters and standout lines. Even the waiters will be sporting white blazers, red carnations and fez hats, replicating the costumes worn in the film. Time Out contributing film critic Kaleb Aftab called Anderson's new film 'action-packed espionage caper with a touch of magic' in which he 'blends his signature style with dashes of film noir and action beats'. See exactly what we thought of the movie here. The pop-up's beverage offering includes 'Tycoon on the Rocks', a pipette-served margarita that changes colour (designed to resemble a poison test) and 'Hand Grenade', a twist on a white negroni, nodding to the line 'would you like a hand grenade?'. For those feeling peckish, snacks will be simple but lavish in a 'nod to the film's indulgent aesthetic'. They'll include giant salted pretzels served in silver bowls and tins of smoked Cantabrian anchovies with butter and brown bread. The pop-up opened on May 23 and will be there until June 22 – make a reservation here. And if that's not enough Wes for you, make sure get your hands on tickets for the Design Museum's exhibition 'Wes Anderson: The Archives' opening in November.
