THE city centre doesn't feel right to us when there isn't a bar in that lovely venue on Mount Street behind Central Library. After the sad demise of Beluga comes a new contender, and an old favourite for Confidential.
Inside there's a restyled, buzzy restaurant and bar featuring two enticing areas for private parties
Velvet Central opened here at the end of May, bringing with it all the flamboyance, good food, and cocktail fun of the Canal Street Velvet, but with the added bonus of being within striking distance of our office.
Outside there's a south-facing pavement terrace where you can drink, dine and people-watch in the sunshine. Inside there's a restyled, buzzy restaurant and bar featuring two enticing areas for private parties – the big bar downstairs which fits up to 100 guests, and a smaller mezzanine lounge upstairs which suits groups of up to 30 guests.
You reach the mezzanine lounge via an iron spiral staircase that rises up from the bar. It's a rococo-style space which is just about perfect for birthday parties or office nights out. You can book it in advance – for details, just email info@velvetcentral.co.uk.
In this competition, we're giving away a cocktail party on the mezzanine for your office. Bring up to 20 people, and Velvet Central will treat you to cocktail pitchers and sharing platters. The winners can have their party any night between Monday-Thursday.
