At Cocktail & Book Club, we believe the setting matters just as much as the story. The right venue shapes the mood of an evening, creating the kind of atmosphere where conversation flows, new connections are made and every detail feels considered.
That’s exactly why we host our gatherings in collaboration with Virgin Hotel London Shoreditch and Hidden Grooves. In the heart of London’s most creative neighborhood Virgin Hotel Shoreditch has quickly become one of the city’s most stylish destinations for drinks, dining, stays and social occasions.
Located on Curtain Road, the hotel blends bold design with the relaxed, playful energy the Virgin brand is known for. Interiors feel contemporary and vibrant, with beautifully designed social spaces that strike the balance between luxury and approachability.
Alongside it, Hidden Grooves offers a more immersive sound led experience within the hotel, an intimate space where high-fidelity sound meets low-key cocktail lounge. Inspired by the golden age of vinyl and Virgin Records, the space features curated listening stations that riffs on iconic 1970s albums, each drink reimagined with a modern twist. It adds a more atmospheric, sensory layer to the evening, where music and drinks feel intentionally intertwined.
Whether visiting for after work cocktails, a weekend staycation, or an evening event, the hotel offers a setting that feels polished yet welcoming, exactly the kind of place you want to spend time in.
One of the reasons we love hosting Cocktail & Book Club here is the atmosphere. It feels social without being overwhelming, elegant without feeling formal and shifts effortlessly between the hotel’s vibrant energy and the more immersive mood of Hidden Grooves. Together, they create the perfect backdrop for evenings centred around conversation, connection and community.
Its Shoreditch location also makes it ideal for a full London night out. Guests can arrive early for dinner nearby, stay for cocktails afterwards, or make an occasion of it with an overnight stay.
For our members, it has become more than just a venue, it’s part of the experience.
If you’re joining us for an upcoming Cocktail & Book Club event, Virgin Hotels Shoreditch and Hidden Grooves offers the perfect setting for your evening. And if you’re simply looking for a stylish London destination,it’s well worth adding to your list.
