Nolita Social celebrates la dolce vita for its Hennessy Nights series finale

One of Knightsbridge’s most luxurious late-night venues, Nolita Social has been celebrating la dolce vita since its opening. The stylish cocktail lounge and live music bar is located beneath Sette restaurant and named after the New York neighbourhood of its origins – Nolita, in New York lexicon, means ‘North of Little Italy’.

So it’s little wonder that the final night in its latest series of live music – Hennessy Nights – will celebrate American soul and Motown with a live show by Soul Supreme on 25 October. Hennessy Nights has seen Nolita partner with the premium cognac brand on an exclusive cocktail menu for its after-hours performances, from 8.30pm to 1am.

Cocktails on the menu include The Sinking Schooner (Hennessy VS, Smith & Cross, mango puree and red port float), Breakfast in Paris (Hennessy infudes croissant, orange blossom water, Ruinart Blanc de Blanc and silver candies), and Harvest Moon (Hennessy VS, red Bordeaux and fig reduction, fig leaf liqueur). >>
