Overview
Ready for a seductive night out? The newly anointed Sistine sets the mood on Chapel Street with an irreverent cocktail bar primed for parties that last well into the early hours. Guided by the Valarc Group – the brains behind other inventive venues like Tartine, The Meatball & Wine Bar, Ines Wine Bar and Ned's Bake & Bistro – Sistine is their latest offering designed as an exclusive, alluring and cheeky space.
Serving as a playful nod to the Sistine Chapel, the venue's Renaissance-inspired decor pairs with its sinful late-night vibe. Here, dim lighting, plush velvet furnishings and luxurious seating add a heightened sense of sophistication. Meanwhile, references to the Vatican icon level up the immersion, as each room is adorned with coloured-glass windows and carefully curated paintings.
Wildest of all, Sistine offers the chance to indulge in The Immaculate Conception vending machine, featuring a sumptuous selection of bites whipped up in the Ines Wine Bar kitchen downstairs. While there are salumi plates, gourmet crisps and recovery kits to consider, the most lavish snack is certainly the caviar served with a mother-of-pearl spoon.
Alongside these luxe morsels, the drinks menu is similarly high-end, with an extensive reserve wine list and a dedicated champagne selection meaning there's no shortage of unholy spirits to guide your night. Plus, indulgent cocktails like the champagne-based Royal Lucre and the Forbidden Fruit riff on classic drinks like appletinis.
"It's incredibly exciting to introduce Sistine as the new and cheeky addition to our growing portfolio," says Valarc Group owner Matteo Bruno." Every aspect of the venue has been thoughtfully designed to create a unique contrast to Ines Wine Bar below. We want this to be the sort of place where you can let your hair down, meet new people and have a big night."
Leading these big nights will be resident DJs on Fridays and Saturdays. And as a little bonus for the most dedicated sinners, Sistine will offer an exclusive loyalty feature, aka the Sistine Rosary Beads. Mischief-makers bestowed with such an honour will unlock special treats and perks that make their experience at the venue that much more transgressive.
Sistine is open Thursday–Saturday from 6pm–late at 150A Chapel Street, Windsor. Head to the website for more information.
