Benefit are one of my favourite beauty brands, so I was really excited to hear about their pop up pub, Gabbi's Head. Right through the World Cup, Benefit have taken over the top floor of a Covent Garden pub, where they're showing the football, Wimbledon and hosting a whole load of fun events. Rylan was there on Thursday, the day after I visited. I missed Rylan! Gutted!
Anyway, I was in London on Wednesday and had an hour to spare, so I popped in for a quick drink. The bar is so beautiful, with pink padding and bar stools.
Bring central London, prices were pretty extortionate: £3.50 for a pint of Diet Coke, and a whole £7.50 for a cocktail in a mason jar!
The food looked really tasty, but I'd already eaten and wasn't willing to part with £12 for a piece of chicken!
I loved all the little details- Jars of sweets on the bar, cute coasters and even two make up stations so you can treat yourself to a makeover- and some cheeky Benefit purchases- while you chill out.
Unfortunately, the staff had taken over three whole tables with the comfy armchairs and sofas, so I had no choice but to perch on a wobbly bar stool. It was a little irritating, and I would have liked to chill out in an armchair.
The pink table football was a cute touch, but as I was there alone, I had nobody to play with. Boo!
If you're in the area, I recommend popping in for a drink. It's a really cute, fun place to relax for an hour or so.
Oh this place looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe football table is pretty gorgeous (I'm a bit of a football table champion if i do say so myself ;)), I wish my table was this pretty.... Feeling a little DIY coming on!
Woah - those prices are a little on the high side mind you! I definitely couldn't live in London that's for sure!
It's super cute that a make-up brand has branched out into something like this aswell, even if it is only during the world cup!

Oh my gosh what an adorable place! I would love to go visit sometime! And the pink fussball table? Downright clever. <3

From what you've said here I wouldn't be hurrying down here! Overpriced and staff taking up all the room doesn't sound particularly inviting to me! X
ReplyDeleteI want a pink fussball table! Looks like a cool place :)
ReplyDeleteI'd have been very annoyed with staff taking up the comfy chairs!
