The lounge bar at stylish Mayfair destination Novikov is hosting a fun Cinco de Mayo celebration this year, transforming the venue with festive decorations and a live Latino band from 9pm.
Commemorating the 1862 Battle of Puebla, when the underdog Mexican army defeat the French, one of the best-known Mexican holidays outside of the country itself honours the resilience and unity of its people.
Guests at Novikov's Cinco de Mayo celebration on Tuesday 5 May can enjoy a dedicated cocktail menu featuring five distinct margaritas made with Teremana Tequila, such as the spicy Caliente and the fruit-forward Tropical. For a more premium experience, the bar offers the Margarita Real with small-batch Reposado Tequila and Grand Marnier, alongside a classic grapefruit-based Paloma. Authentic Mexican-style snacks like guacamole with tomato salsa and traditional Spanish tortillas will be available for any immediate nibbling needs, with a selection of premium tacos featuring high-quality fillings such as Wagyu beef, king crab with yuzu mustard, or chilli guacamole chicken served as well.
Novikov's Cinco de Mayo fiesta promises a lively evening blending cultural tribute with masterful gastronomy and artisanal tequila. You can book your spot via their website.
