Manolo will reflect a cocktail bar with reinvented Caribbean cocktails and classics, immaculate glassware and an “extraordinary” waiting service through experienced staff. Reservations will be encouraged and walk-in tours will be subject to availability.
In addition, the popular bar El Bandito is also in the process of being remodeled both inside and outside, which will be equipped with a new rest area. It is expected to reopen in August. The Bandito is a component of the GSG Hospitality brand.
John Ennis, from GSG Hospitality, said: “The Bandito needed to be updated and we are excited to reopen Liverpool’s famous tequila shop this summer after a renovation, the arrival of outdoor seating and a new cocktail menu. This will give El Bandito another dimension, welcoming the drink outdoors and remembering why El Bandito exists; spread the intelligent call of agave and that is what it will continue to do.
Nick Thomas, Manolo’s new owner, added: “Manolo will bring a new concept to the region with Caribbean-inspired cocktails, trendy drinks, bar snacks and a whole new aesthetic. For years, I’ve been diligently handling the scenes in some of the concepts and concepts I need to integrate into Manolo.
“I’ve worked on lab projects and redesigned old drinks, which I think is, in fact, an exclusive experience for visitors. A Tasting service for Caribbean drinks in the bar of a London hotel. I can’t wait to start.
Manolo does not yet have an opening date.
