MEATliquor team open Covent Garden sports bar
MEATliquor has opened BLOODsports, its first standalone bar in the former Circus site.
London's Covent Garden is home to the newest venue from the burger brand MEATliquor, with the business opening its first standalone bar in the former Circus site.
BLOODsports is inspired by the dive and sports bars of North America. With a late license until 2am, the bar features over 30 screens that host live sports from across the globe day and night, as well as a catalogue of horror films in between.
It also offers guests karaoke, pool, pinball and arcade machines, as well as an Alfred Hitchcock-inspired photobooth called the 'Psychobooth'.
The BLOODsports logo (an elephant giving the middle finger with its trunk) is inspired by the site's history as a stables, where elephants performing at the nearby Royal Opera House were kept beneath the floors in the stables in the 1930s.
"BLOODsports has been on the cards for over 10-years, it’s just been a case of waiting for the right site," says founder Scott Collins. "It’s inspired by the best of the dive and sports bars I frequented when I lived in the US, with a carefully curated dash of horror films and our rock solid MEATliquor food menu with some BLOODsports-specific dishes."
Sport, horror, burgers... what else?
Hideout Coffee & Donuts will also be available from 8am until 8pm, marking the Portsmouth-based business' first foray outside of its home town.
MEATliquor classics such as Champion of Champions prize winner the Dead Hippie burger and appetizers Monkey Fingers will be on the menu. There'll also be some exclusive additions, including a classic Chicago Dog and ‘The Ripper’, a hotdog wrapped in bacon and then deep-fried.
Also exclusive to BLOODsports will be its ‘Bloods & Drips’ menu. The ‘Bloods’ features a line-up of tomato-based drinks. The wider drinks menu will include cocktails, slushies and beers.
