A new branch of the popular Bathhouse cabaret club will open its doors in Stoke Newington later this spring.

Baby Bathhouse will be an outpost of the Bishopsgate venue near Liverpool Street station, which occupies a Grade-II listed former Turkish bath. The new bar will occupy 125 Church Street, a vacant property opposite the Lion pub, with a two-stage opening over February and March.

Like the original bar, it will offer cabaret and burlesque performances, lunch and dinner dining and a cocktail menu, plus an outdoor area at the back.

Tava O’Halloran and Daniel Wright say they are happy to be located amidst the vintage shops and record stores of Church Street. O’Halloran said: “The Victorian building has experienced a colourful year – the back half of the building burned to the ground but, like a phoenix rising for the ashes, the Baby Bathhouse will emerge.”

The Bathhouse has previously been a favourite with celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Nicholas Hoult and Jodie Harsh. It has previously billed Henry Holland, and Sophie Ellis Bextor and her husband, Richard Jones, as DJs for club ‘Love to Love’.
