Selfridges Opens Newly Launched Goodfellas-Inspired Cocktail Bar

SELFRIDGES is expanding its growing portfolio of experiential spaces with the launch of The Cloakroom Bar, a new late-night destination tucked within its Oxford Street flagship. 

Selfridges The Cloakroom Bar

Inspired by the famous Copacabana sequence from Martin Scorsese’s 1990 gangster classic Goodfellas, the journey in is designed as part of the experience itself. Guests are guided through back-of-house corridors, staircases and a functioning cloakroom before arriving in a sultry, low-lit space filled with velvet booths and sofas.

The cocktail menu continues the sense of theatre with five signature drinks designed around the setting. The 109 combines saffron vodka and yuzu sake as a nod to Selfridges’ signature yellow, while The Reserved Tag pairs Champagne and St-Germain with raspberry caviar. Elsewhere, Red Velvet Negroni, Crystal Colada and Skinny Btch* offer playful interpretations of familiar classics.

Cinema references continue throughout the space as the drinks arrive with mini bowls of popcorn, movie posters line the walls and DJ sets are planned for Friday and Saturday evenings.
