The Top Hat is a Monopoly-inspired bar that is set to open in London next month and it will be located in proximity to Monopoly Lifesized, a 4D immersive experience that gives guests the chance to play on a life-sized Monopoly board. At the three-level bar, adults will be able to request a deck of Monopoly Deal with their drinks or choose a "Take a Chance" card to receive a surprise.
On the menu, there are signature cocktails to discover inspired by properties of London, as seen in the Red Carpet Daiquiri, which references Leicester Square as a hot spot for film premieres. There's also Trafalgar Square’s Lychee and Rose Pearl Martini and Euston’s Road cocktail takes cues from the first women’s hospital entirely staffed by women and helps to support a chosen NHS charity.
