The Standard has announced it will launch Sweeties, a new 10th floor cocktail bar and “late-night spot.”
Occupying the eastern length of the building, Sweetie’s interiors, designed by long-time Standard collaborator Shawn Hausman, evoke an early 1970s Hollywood opulence.
Ochre velvet sofas, ruched leather banquettes, mirrored tables, and a six-foot antique phallic sculpture set the tone for this “intimate” new destination.
The bar said it will offer a menu of naturally “mood-boosting” cocktails created by The Standard in collaboration with award-winning mixologists, Jack Sotti and Todd Austin.
The cocktail menu will be centred around a blend of ingredients and “energising” adaptogens and nootropics – including reishi, ashwagandha and holy basil.
Signature cocktails include the pink Frothy Boi with lacto-rhubarb, gin, raspberry, pink pepper and gut-friendly fermented amazake oats, the Pick Me Up made with a blend of eight adaptogenic mushrooms, brown vodka, buttery cacao and coffee.
The cocktail bar also said it will play host to an evolving line-up of international DJs playing expansive classic and contemporary sounds on its custom-made stack-style Funktion-One sound system.
From 24 February, Sweeties will be open from 5pm on Wednesday to Saturday each week. The venue has room for 80 (seated) to 150 (standing).
