A new creative cocktail haven, ‘MUSE’ at RSA House. Tucked away within the 250-year-old historic Georgian townhouse located directly behind the vibrant landmark Strand, the bar spotlights British ingredients, sustainable agriculture, local provenance and rewilding projects with a unique collection of wild distillates, while drawing inspiration from the RSA’s regenerative Design for Life Mission.

The RSA has helped shape society since the Enlightenment and has been at the forefront of significant social impact since it was founded in 1754. The RSA has found its place at the heart of historic social change, which they continue to work on to this day alongside their venture into the world of innovative mixology.

‘MUSE’ at RSA House welcomes guests from the surrounding West End to a completely unique experience. Located on the ground floor, with a dedicated entrance for access, once inside guests can experience an extravagant yet relaxed space with artwork adorning the walls and a luxurious granite bar, providing a private members club feel. The new bar is in partnership with the renowned Company of Cooks and Idyll Drinks, with cocktails from celebrated mixologist Marcis Dzelzainis showcasing creative yet approachable serves with innovative ingredients.

In line with the RSA’s regenerative charitable mission, the dedicated team of bartenders led by Head Bartender Kevin Price Houghton, focus on traceability and sustainability, breaking down the provenance of each drink, from cocktail ingredients to wines and spirits, alongside a selection of British ciders from the Fine Cider company. The menu includes eight house serves which will renew yearly, in addition to four alcoholic serves, exploring speciality ingredients, wild botanicals and smaller scale producers.

The RSA House in London, located off the Strand is a perfect blend of history and modernity which is versatile in style, décor and character. The Georgian venue opens itself to the Fellows, visitors and staff for external events, weddings, parties and meetings.

MUSE at RSA House is open from Monday – Friday, 4pm – 11pm.
