A standard

The room, and the classics

A standard in jazz is the tune everyone knows, played each band's own way. Ellington works the same way: a classic room — chandeliers, exposed brick, vintage mirrors — and behind the bar, forgotten classic cocktails played again.

One end — the room

TA designed the room herself with no professional plan — 'a bit like painting a picture'. Crystal chandeliers, candlelight, vintage mirrors and exposed brick are the result.

The other end — forgotten classics

The drinks program goes back to names that fell off menus everywhere: Pink Squirrel, French Connection — made properly, without apology.

Three frames to open

Crystal chandeliers, the whisky shelves, and a garnished coupe — how a night at Ellington opens.

The room's light comes from crystal chandeliers and candles — the jazz-age register the Ellington name promises.

Cocktails before the whisky shelves at Ellington

The whisky shelves

Whisky lines the back bar, with a growing Macallan selection the house pride.

A coupe finished down to its garnish — the classics here are served with their ceremony intact.
