BRASSERIE ADELINE and GAMBIT BAR will open in Summer 2025 as part of The Newman hotel. Taking up residence in the heart of Fitzrovia, The Newman, will comprise an elegant, European all-day restaurant and intimate underground bar, destined to become a favourite with the vibrant neighbourhood.
BRASSERIE ADELINE will be a contemporary, all-day brasserie, serving a menu of classic comfort dishes and delivering the energy of a bustling neighbourhood institution. There are generous Northern European influences threaded through the menu, with techniques such as curing and smoking employed to add a lightness of touch to the more familiar dishes. Food will be presented beautifully but always simply on the plate to allow the well-sourced ingredients to shine. Brasserie Adeline will seat 76 covers within a spacious dining room full of natural light, plus an additional 24 covers in a separate bar space and a street-side terrace for alfresco dining. A bespoke sandwich trolley will grace the floor throughout lunchtimes, offering a quick bite for guests, with a side of theatre. Adeline is sure to become an essential part of its Fitzriovia surroundings, with warm service, accessible prices and a vibrant dining room, open from breakfast through to late evening, seven days a week.
GAMBIT BAR will be a destination bar in its own right, influenced by the energy of the surrounding locale, where guests can steal away a moment of escapism from daily life, and enjoy carefully crafted cocktails. It will be inspired by the timeless allure of iconic bars from across the globe, with the intention to create a warm and welcoming space where attention to detail and heartfelt hospitality sit at the core. Cocktails will be creative yet understated, made using the highest quality ingredients and innovative techniques, allowing the flavour profiles to stand out. Equal thought will be given to every drinks category, so there will be a comprehensive selection of ‘low and no’ options, as well as a handful of local craft beers available on tap. Guests will also be able to choose from a succinct menu of bar snacks, designed to pair effortlessly with the drink offering. There will also be a dynamic events programme at Gambit Bar, where guests can while away the hours discovering in-house DJs or mastering strategic game playing at regular chess nights.
London based studio LIND + ALMOND has led the design of the hotel, including Brasserie Adeline and Gambit Bar. Lind + Almond has taken inspiration from the rich history of the surrounding area, cleverly referencing the Victorian and Art Deco styles that can be seen throughout Fitzrovia. Both spaces have been developed to feel contemporary and sophisticated, with multifunctional purposes that take guests seamlessly from early morning coffees at Brassiere Adeline to late evening cocktails at Gambit Bar.
