Of course, that got your attention, it got ours too - who doesn’t love an espresso martini?
This weekend, to celebrate the launch of a new space in Peckham ‘Coffee and Cocktails’ a brand new space in Peckham, which sells coffees by day and cocktails by night will be giving away 100 FREE espresso martinis over Friday and Saturday (9th and 10th October, between 4-7pm).
You may have walked past the space which is on the ground floor of Market Peckham (you can see it as you go under the archway to get to Copeland Park) and spotted the mini basketball court in there - yeah that’s right, you can sip on a cocktail whilst shooting hoops.
The launch celebration will be taking place both evenings, with a line-up of Peckham’s finest DJs playing, such as Foundation FM and Mercedes Benson, who will be playing a selection of house, R&B, hip hop and more.
Coffee & Cocktails is not only an artisan coffee shop by day and cocktail bar by night but also a community event space. In a time when the creative and events industries are being hit especially hard, it is focused on supporting, uplifting and promoting local talent within Peckham’’s community and will see local DJs playing every weekend, as well as a wide roster of events. The space will be holding the likes of everything from co-working, basketball games, yoga mornings, slam poetry and live DJs - all promoting local talent.
Coffee & Cocktails is being launched by three friends, Zerrne Henderson, Christian Shodipe and Sola Nola. The Trio, who are born and bred in South London, have worked in hospitality for years, and always dreamt of having their own space that could support local creatives and bring something uplifting to the area in a time where new openings and creative event spaces are severely limited.
Co-founder Sola commented, “Now more than ever, people need a reason to get out of the house and have some sort of positive release. We wanted to set up Coffee & Cocktails as a destination that people could use day and night to enjoy themselves, whilst also supporting the community.”
Coffee & Cocktails seats 70 an is strictly walk-in and is operating with table service.
