Luum bar in London is a captivating late-night lounge that blends the mystique of Mexican culture with the city’s sophisticated nightlife. Since its opening in November 2024, Luum has quickly become a destination for those seeking an immersive experience combining innovative mixology, lively design, and soulful music.
Luum is the brainchild of Sunset Hospitality Group, renowned for creating unique hospitality concepts worldwide. Under the leadership of General Manager Stefano Chilà, formerly of Chiltern Firehouse and Annabel’s, Luum brings a wealth of experience to London’s bar scene. The lounge is part of the revitalised Pantechnicon. It also houses the Japanese restaurant Sachi and the Provençal eatery Amélie, creating a diverse culinary hub in Belgravia.
Upon entering Luum, guests find an atmosphere that exudes colonial romanticism and Latin American flair. The interior features rich colours, bold textures, and intricate patterns. Velvet banquettes, a swirling marble bar, and a mirrored ceiling add a touch of opulence. Leafy printed walls and green plants infuse the space with a tropical essence. The design pays homage to the natural world, aligning with Luum’s commitment to celebrating the elements in every aspect of its offering.
Luum Bar London Menu
Luum distinguishes itself with its dedication to agave-based spirits, particularly mezcal, which forms the backbone of its cocktail program. The bar is equipped with a Buchi Rotavapor R-300, allowing for in-house distillation and the creation of unique infusions. The cocktail menu is divided into three sections: ‘Above the Ground,’ featuring light spirits and fresh flavours; ‘Below the Ground,’ offering aged spirits with deep, earthy notes; and ‘Precious Stones,’ showcasing rare ingredients and exceptional spirits.
Find cocktails like the ‘Meet Me at Mapimi.’ This is a blend of El Gobernador pisco, yerba mate and jalapeño cordial, and lime juice, served in bespoke glassware with a cayenne pepper rim. The ‘Purple Roots,’ combines tequila, mezcal, sherry, purple carrot, and black pepper. For those seeking an elevated experience, the ‘Precious Stones’ collection reimagines classic cocktails using rare and vintage spirits.
Complementing the drinks is a menu curated by Mexican chef Coko Becker, formerly of the two-Michelin-starred Pujol in Mexico City. The food offerings include small plates like truffle quesadillas, garlic tortilla chips, tacos and ceviche. Each dish is crafted with bold spices and authentic recipes.
