Peacock Bar
Bar
The ceiling is the room.
A peacock in mirrored mosaic covers all of it, silver and blue and green, its tail unfurling from one corner.
The bar front is walnut, lit from inside, with a row of gold paisley motifs along it. The sofas and armchairs are teal velvet, the columns beside them are wrapped in the same colour, and glass chandeliers hang low over the seating.
One wall is a lit cabinet of bottles and objects. Another carries a grid of framed prints.
