Websters Theatre unveiled their newly refurbished bar, Secession, at the weekend, opening to the public on Friday.
Sitting within the former Lansdowne Church on Great Western Road, the re-imagined bar is inspired by the Vienna Secession – where artists such as Gustav Klimt forged a new decorative approach to painting and interior design at the beginning of the last century.
As well as offering cocktails, a coffee house, Secession’s new menu has also been designed in a continental style providing charcuteries, pates and cheeses with a pickled onion or two included in the platter.
David Robertson, director said, “We are thrilled to unveil Secession, following the reinvention of our existing West End bar, which results in a much more impactful and enjoyable use of that facility as well as being a perfect complement to our adjacent popular theatre.
“Inspired by the Vienna Secession art movement, we have worked to create a real European café feel with cocktails, charcuteries and coffee on offer as well as drinks from a discreetly position dual counter bar and we can’t wait to welcome residents and visitors to what we believe is a truly unique venue.”
