Experimental Cocktail Club (ECC), the international bar group, has confirmed it will open a site in Covent Garden under its fledgling wine bar and restaurant concept, La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, later this year.

As revealed by M&C Report yesterday, the group has secured the unit at 8-10 Neal’s Yard for the new launch.

The company, which opened the first ECC in Paris and has since expanded, launching cocktail bars in London, New York and Ibiza, opened the first La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels in the French capital last year.

It is now looking for a site to open a unit under the brand in New York.

The group opened it latest bar in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City earlier this year.

The company also operates further sites - the Curio Parlor, Prescription Cocktail and The Beef Club & Ballroom – in the French capital.

Davis Coffer Lyons acted on the Neal’s Yard site.
