Electric Shuffle opens in London Bridge ​

Electric Shuffle, has opened a new site on Bermondsey Street in London Bridge. The bar itself is home to 10 shuffleboards and has a total guest capacity of 350.

Aside from the bar and drinks areas, Electric Shuffle is home to a reimagined version of a classic - shuffleboard. 

Electric Shuffleboard uses vision technology to guide teams of up to 16 through a series of games that are immersive and challenging. Customers are advised to book slots to enjoy a 90-minute game. 

Ceo, Steve Moore, who co-founded Electric Shuffle said:  “This is an exciting leap in our trajectory, and one we’re more than ready to make. We’re so grateful to have a new home under the arches here and hope to become part of the fabric of this vibrant community. 

“We don’t just want to exist in London Bridge, we want it to be somewhere that’s seen to be giving back to it. That’s why we are as committed to creating an immersive hospitality experience as we are to building long-lasting foundations in the area by getting behind brilliant causes.”

Three Metropolitan pubs open after refurbishments ​

Metropolitan Pub Company is reopening three London pubs after each has received a major investment -  

The Prince Bonaparte in Westbourne Grove, The Hare & Billet in Blackheath and The Footman in Mayfair.

The Prince Bonaparte has been reopened following a six figure investment. The bar has been totally revitalised with rich leathers and deep timbers, and the reworked bar counterprovides additional seating for guests to drink or eat. 

The Hare & Billet in Blackheath has reopened its doors following a refurbishment. As part of the renovation, the interior of the pub has been redecorated to bring the venue back to life and enhance the existing traditional style. Warm timber tones and textured weaves have been added to existing furniture to create a softer and more snug mood to drinking areas. 

Finally, The Footman, which also received a six figure investment,  now has clearly defined zones on each floor to separate drinking and dining, with the upper floors available for exclusive private hire. 

 The main bar has been redesigned to open up the space and to allow for more guests seated than were previously available.
