Coming October 2012, and with much anticipation, leading drinks
Situated in the 10th arrondissement in the heart of the French capital, Le Coq will be Tony’s first private venture outside of London. His partnership with two of France’s leading drinks industry experts promises to result in one of the most hotly anticipated launches for 2012. Overseen by Marcis Dzelzainis, Operations Manager for Tony’s other venues, Le Coq will offer a distinctive addition to the Parisian cocktail scene.
Moving away from the current trend for speakeasy bars, Le Coq will channel the relaxed yet exuberant glamour of the 1970s. Inspired by iconic fashionistas and musicians such as Marianne Faithful, Yves Saint Laurent and Bianca Jagger, the bar will intertwine references from the art world with those of popular culture.
The boutique cocktail menu will reflect Tony’s signature future-retro style, offering contemporary and provocative twists on classic recipes. The Autumn / Winter menu will include the Almond Pina Colada, a twist on the classic with Rhum Almond milk and lime Orgeat; as well as the Fig Leaf Collins fusing a bespoke fig leaf tincture with Beefeater.
The launch of Le Coq marks an exciting addition to Parisian cocktail culture and a new international milestone for management team.
Le Coq will open in October 2012. They may be found at 12 Rue Chateau d’Eau 75010, Paris, or on the web at: www.barlecoq.com
