Coupette London: Christmas at Bethnal Green’s Most Celebrated Cocktail House
As December begins to paint London in golds, greens and night-time sparkle, the city’s workers start whispering the same question across meeting rooms and Slack threads alike: Where are we celebrating this year? And somewhere between Moorgate’s rush-hour shuffle and the quiet corners of Bank’s historic lanes, one name keeps surfacing with a knowing nod — Coupette London. This Bethnal Green treasure, long admired for stitching together Parisian elegance with East London edge, is rolling out a collection of Christmas packages crafted for those who want more than a predictable night out. Coupette is turning the festive season into an experience that lingers, something guests talk about well after the holidays melt back into the calendar. Rather than simply hiring out a room and turning up the holiday playlist, Coupette delivers a December setting that feels almost cinematic. Step inside and the chaos of London fades to a low hum. The space glows in that unmistakable Coupette way — soft lights warming the brickwork, polished brass catching reflections from winter candles, seasonal cocktails sliding across the bar like small works of art. Every detail speaks to the bar’s philosophy: craft over convenience, intention over gimmick. The team behind the counter doesn’t just mix drinks; they shape moments. Their approach feels closer to artistry than service — measured, expressive, quietly spellbinding. And whether the night is built for a corporate toast, a tight-knit team celebration, or a festive catch-up with the people who matter, Coupette ensures it never feels like just another Christmas do. It becomes an evening soaked in atmosphere, flavour and that unmistakable East London charm, the kind that wraps guests into the story rather than keeping them at the sidelines. Here, the holiday season doesn’t feel commercial — it feels curated. Thoughtful. Elevated. Exactly the way Christmas in London should feel. Where Festive Celebrations Find Their Atmosphere Coupette has long enjoyed a reputation that most bars spend years trying to manufacture — the sort of quiet authority that never shouts for attention yet somehow becomes the benchmark everyone else is chasing. Come December, that understated swagger turns into something far more irresistible. The moment the city dips into its winter mood and the nights start stretching out earlier than expected, Coupette becomes a natural magnet for Londoners looking to celebrate without the clichés. Teams from Liverpool Street wander in after wrapping up year-end meetings, still buzzing from deadlines but eager for a proper drink. Creatives from Shoreditch drift through the doors in groups, drawn to the promise of cocktails that feel hand-scripted rather than mass-produced. Even the regulars from around Bethnal Green — the ones who know the bar’s quirks, the staff’s humour, and the magic hour when the lighting is just right — find themselves booking tables weeks ahead, determined to make their December gatherings count. What keeps them coming back isn’t gimmickry or over-the-top festive theatrics. Coupette’s philosophy for the season is wonderfully straightforward: keep the warmth, sharpen the atmosphere, and let the drinks carry the evening. The space doesn’t need tinsel to feel inviting; the glow of brass, the hum of conversation, and the scent of something exceptional being shaken behind the counter do the job perfectly. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time because every element — from the playlist to the glassware — feels effortlessly dialled in. Christmas at Coupette isn’t treated like an event; it’s treated like a craft. And whether you’re planning a team night out, a low-key celebration with friends, or a final hurrah before the city slows for the holidays, the bar delivers an experience that feels unmistakably London — stylish, unforced, and just the right amount of festive. The Coupette Christmas Masterclass: Cocktails With a French-East London Twist One of the season’s highlights is the Coupette Masterclass, a hands-on session where guests aren’t simply shown what goes into a cocktail — they’re folded into the process. Coupe glasses, fresh garnishes, copper shakers, a table lined with spirits and house-made infusions: every element is curated so that attendees feel like they’ve stepped behind the scenes of one of London’s most respected cocktail bars. The team guiding the experience are the same minds that built Coupette’s reputation — bartenders who turn technique into theatre and showcase flavours that feel both familiar and unexpectedly clever. Whether a corporate team-building idea or a personal festive treat, the class becomes a moment where people laugh, shake, pour, and compare creations like they’re competing on their own private mixology show. And because it’s Coupette, nothing feels rushed. Guests leave with new skills, a couple of bragging rights, and a deeper appreciation for how much precision goes into a perfectly balanced drink. Seasonal Cocktails That Make Any Celebration Feel Bespoke Christmas at Coupette wouldn’t be Christmas without the drinks that make the bar famous. The festive menu blends seasonal ingredients with the bar’s French-inspired craftsmanship — the kind of flavours that feel comforting while still offering a surprise in every sip. Whether it’s a winter-spiced creation served with Coupette’s signature finesse or a Christmas-edition riff on a cult favourite, every drink becomes part of the experience. Guests often find themselves lingering over the menu, swapping glasses to try “just one more”, and returning later in the season for a second round of festive magic. Event Hire That Elevates Every December Gathering Christmas means celebrations of all shapes and sizes, and Coupette welcomes them all — from sleek corporate nights out to intimate private parties. The bar’s space strikes that perfect London blend: stylish without being stuffy, warm without being chaotic, and unmistakably atmospheric. For companies searching for a venue near Bethnal Green, Moorgate, Bank or Liverpool Street, Coupette becomes the ideal answer — close enough for teams to arrive straight from the office, but far enough from the City’s rush that the evening instantly feels like an escape. The team handles everything with the calm efficiency that comes only from years of hosting nights where every detail matters. That means
From Coupette with Love: Our Pour into London Cocktail Week 2025
Step inside, love. The city outside might be grey and brisk, but in here, everything glows. The copper bar catches the light, the shelves gleam with bottles, and the low hum of conversation ripples through the room like jazz on vinyl. You can almost taste it — that mix of citrus peel, sugar burn, and quiet anticipation. It’s that time again — London Cocktail Week — the city’s grandest toast to the art of a well-poured drink. But this year feels different. The buzz is louder, the air thicker with excitement, and here at Coupette London, we’re not just shaking and stirring — we’re rewriting the rhythm of the celebration itself. We’ve polished our bar tops till they gleam like pennies in the pocket of a new suit. The ice clinks sharper, the fruit smells fresher, and the spirits — both bottled and human — are ready to dance. Bethnal Green hums with a pulse of its own, and in the middle of it stands us: Coupette. This October, as LCW spills across the city, we’re not content with being another name on the map. We’re here to set the tempo. To take everything you know about this week — the wristbands, the signature serves, the late-night laughter — and give it a Coupette twist. The kind that starts soft and ends with a grin you can’t shake off. From the first pop of a cork to the last melting cube of ice, every detail inside these walls hums with intention. The lighting dips just enough to blur time. The music moves between eras — a little soul, a little synth, a lot of mood. You’ll see regulars tucked in their favourite corners, eyes glinting as they watch new faces discover what we’ve always known: LCW isn’t just an event; it’s an atmosphere. And this year, we’re bottling that feeling and serving it by the glass. Coupette has always lived in the sweet spot between elegance and edge — refined enough for connoisseurs, relaxed enough for those who just want a great night out. So, when London Cocktail Week rolls around, we don’t follow the crowd. We set the tone. Every drink that leaves our bar carries that Bethnal Green attitude — curious, confident, quietly rebellious. The city outside might be celebrating the return of LCW, but in here, we’re conducting our own symphony — a melody of spirits, laughter, and perfectly measured chaos. You’ll feel it before the first sip hits your lips. You’ll taste it long after the glass is empty. Because at Coupette, we don’t just pour cocktails. We pour moments. And this October, we’re ready to pour London its best one yet. How It All Began: Two Women, One Brilliant Idea It’s been fifteen years since two fearless women decided that London deserved its own love letter to cocktails. Back in 2010, when mixology was still finding its feet and “craft” wasn’t yet a buzzword, they dreamt up something audacious — a citywide toast to the art of drinking well. What started as a small festival with a few bold bars has become the heartbeat of London’s bar culture — a week that turns every street into a story, every glass into a conversation. We adore that story because it’s familiar. Coupette, too, was born from a spark — a simple desire to serve beautiful drinks, free from fuss but rich in soul. And so, each year when London Cocktail Week rolls around, we treat it not as an event, but as an anniversary. An ode to creativity, to community, to the alchemy that happens when people and spirits meet in one perfect pour. Why London Cocktail Week Feels Like Home There’s something electric about this week. Every bar has its own interpretation — some go big with neon and noise, others whisper their magic softly. We’ve always preferred the latter. For us, LCW isn’t just about new recipes or signature serves; it’s about revealing who we are when the lights are low and the bar’s full of energy. At Coupette, we’ve always believed cocktails should feel like poetry — precise, surprising, a little seductive. LCW gives us a reason to experiment more boldly, to welcome new faces, and to remind old friends why they fell in love with Bethnal Green’s quiet troublemaker in the first place. The Secret Ingredient: Our Sunday Development Sessions Every great idea at Coupette starts on a Sunday. When most of London sleeps off its Saturday, our bar comes alive in a different way. We call it Sunday Development — a weekly ritual where ideas are poured, tasted, scrapped, and reborn. No customers. No music. Just our team, a table of spirits, and unfiltered imagination. Some of our most iconic cocktails — from the Champagne Piña Colada that put us on the map, to experimental gems that never made the list — were born from those quiet Sundays. LCW gives us a stage to showcase that madness made method. It’s when the experiments leave the notebook and find their glass. This year, that spirit of development spills out of our four walls and into the LCW spotlight. You’ll taste it. You’ll feel it. 14th October – The First Takeover: Expect the Unexpected Mark the 14th. Coupette opens its doors to the first of our LCW takeovers, where we hand the reins (just a little) to friends who think as wildly as we do. It’s not about replacing who we are — it’s about amplifying it. Think of it as a creative remix: Coupette’s DNA intertwined with another’s rhythm. The bar will feel different that night — same faces behind the counter, same glow of candlelight, but with new ideas fizzing through the shakers. Expect something playful, something that challenges your palate, something that makes you say, “I didn’t see that coming.” Because that’s the point. 16th October – A Bourbon Affair with Four Roses Now, the one we’re truly buzzing about — 16th October, our Four Roses Takeover. A night
Coupette London – Your Summer Escape in the Heart of East London
East London in summer has its own rhythm — sunlight painting the terraced streets gold, the lazy drift of laughter from nearby cafés, and that unmistakable sound of ice swirling in a glass just before the first sip. At Coupette, we’ve taken that slow, golden-hour magic and turned it into an experience you can taste. Every cocktail, every small plate, every moment here is a nod to those easy afternoons that somehow stretch into unforgettable nights. If you’ve been Googling where to drink in East London and keep landing on the same old rooftops and overcrowded beer gardens, it’s time to break the loop. Our terrace might not be perched high above the city, but it delivers the kind of al fresco dining in London that feels both intimate and elevated — a place where the drinks are crafted, not poured in haste, and the food has as much personality as the bar team serving it. Here, the pace is unhurried, the atmosphere warm, and the setting just right for those long, sunlit catch-ups or breezy evening cocktails. Think of it as your summer escape in the heart of the city — no queues for a table, no shouting over the noise, just great flavours, great company, and that rare East London balance between buzz and breathing space. Summer Drinking, Coupette Style When East London starts to warm up, Coupette’s bar takes on a whole new mood. Out goes the richer, fireside flavours of winter; in comes the bright, crisp, and utterly sippable creations designed for sunshine. Our seasonal drink menu in London this summer is all about freshness with flair — cocktails that turn lazy afternoons into something you’ll want to linger over until the streetlights glow. Take Code Rouge — a showstopper that’s as bold as it is elegant — or Parasol, the easy-going serve that practically tastes like a holiday. Add in our fruit-led spritzes and you’ve got the perfect line-up for al fresco afternoons and long, unhurried evenings. Every glass is a little performance: citrus kissed with herbs, Champagne meeting tropical notes, or a delicate bitterness smoothed into a crisp, clean finish. These aren’t drinks you rush. They’re built for conversation, for stolen moments in the sun, for that unmistakable East London summer energy where the pace is slower, but the spirit is high. Plates Made for Sunshine Sunshine calls for food that’s as bright and inviting as the weather, and at Coupette, our kitchen delivers just that. The summer menu takes its cue from the elegance of French dining but keeps it relaxed, fresh, and ready for sharing. Think delicate seafood kissed with citrus, crisp seasonal salads bursting with colour, and small plates that feel just as at home on a Parisian terrace as they do here in East London. For those hunting the ultimate summer food and drink pairings in London, we’ve made it an art form. Our bartenders and chefs work hand-in-hand to create moments where the glass and plate sing in harmony. Imagine a zesty spritz lifting the brightness of a lemon-dressed starter, or a deeper, velvety serve wrapping itself around the richness of slow-cooked meats or creamy indulgences. Every recommendation is personal, every match intentional — because summer dining should be more than just eating and drinking; it should be a conversation between flavours. And here at Coupette, we make sure that conversation lingers long after the last sip. The Terrace – East London’s Best-Kept Secret Forget elbowing your way into one of the busiest rooftop bars in East London. At Coupette, we’ve got a better idea — one that involves zero queues, plenty of sunlight, and a seat you’ll want to stay in. Our terrace is a little pocket of calm tucked just off the street, where the hum of Bethnal Green drifts in softly, and every table feels like it’s been saved just for you. This isn’t the kind of place where you’re fighting for space at the bar or craning over strangers for a view. Instead, you can settle in with a chilled cocktail, a plate of something fresh, and that warm, unhurried energy that summer in London does so well. Want to catch it at its best? Arrive in time for golden hour and watch the light spill across your table, or swing by later when the air cools and the city takes on a softer glow. Either way, you’re in prime position for people-watching with a drink in hand, whether that’s a fruit-forward spritz or one of our signature French-inspired serves. Here, summer isn’t about the highest view — it’s about the best seat. And we’ve saved yours. Happy Hour – Because Summer Should Be Savoured There’s something about summer in London that makes you want to stretch the hours, linger a little longer, and never check the time. But at Coupette, our happy hour gives you every reason to start the evening early — and perhaps keep it rolling later than you planned. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill “two-for-one” gig. Think crisp, highball spritzes that taste like sunlight in a glass, timeless house favourites crafted with flair, and cocktails that could easily become the highlight of your night. Our bartenders don’t just pour; they curate, creating drinks that turn even a casual after-work stop into a story worth retelling. Weekday unwind? Sorted. Saturday night warm-up? We’ve got you covered. Even if you just fancy nipping in on a lazy Sunday, happy hour here has that rare ability to feel indulgent without ever being over the top. It’s not about rushing through rounds — it’s about letting good drinks, easy company, and the buzz of East London set the pace. And here’s the truth: nobody ever regrets “just one more” at Coupette. That extra glass often ends up being the one you’ll remember most. So, if you’re searching for the best happy hour in East London — one that blends effortless charm, great value, and cocktails that actually live up to the hype — you know
Jazz, Cocktails & Midweek Magic at Coupette London
London isn’t short of places to grab a drink, but every so often you stumble on a spot that does more than pour cocktails — it sets the mood for the night. At Coupette, tucked away in Bethnal Green, we’ve shaped our bar around one simple belief: evenings should be savoured, not rushed. That’s exactly why our live jazz nights in East London feel so magnetic. It isn’t just about having a saxophone humming away in the corner while you sip your drink; it’s about slowing the city’s relentless pace, even just for a few hours. The music sways, the lights soften, and suddenly you’re not just in a bar — you are part of a scene that feels like it could only happen here. If you’re on the hunt for romantic date night ideas in London, Coupette’s blend of cocktails and live music sets the stage better than any predictable dinner spot. And for those who’d rather gather a few mates, order a round, and lose track of time in good company, our jazz evenings tick that box too. The cocktails are no afterthought either — think inventive highballs, French-inspired signatures, and house favourites that keep regulars coming back. Each drink is crafted to complement the atmosphere, making every glass as memorable as the playlist. So whether you’re planning a Friday night escape, a midweek breather, or simply want to see Bethnal Green in a different light, Coupette’s jazz nights offer more than just entertainment. They’re an invitation to pause, sip slowly, and let London show off its softer side. Because at the end of the day, it isn’t just about the music or the cocktails. It’s about the way the two intertwine — and turn an ordinary evening into the kind you’ll want to replay again and again. Why Jazz & Cocktails Belong Together At Coupette, we curate evenings where music and mixology meet in perfect rhythm. Our live jazz nights in London aren’t about overpowering the room with volume; they’re about shaping the atmosphere, letting every note blend seamlessly with laughter, clinking glasses, and stories shared across the table. The musicians we bring in know how to strike that delicate balance—dynamic enough to keep the energy alive, yet subtle enough to let the night breathe. It’s this careful harmony that makes Coupette stand apart as more than just another cocktail bar in London.

Every performance here is chosen with intention, every cocktail mixed with flair, and every guest made to feel like the room was designed just for them. Because here’s the truth: a good night out is easy to find in London—but a great one, the kind that lingers long after the last sip, is rare. That’s exactly why our jazz nights at Coupette continue to draw people back, week after week. It’s not just about hearing music or drinking cocktails—it’s about feeling the city slow down, even if just for a few hours, and letting yourself get lost in the rhythm of it all. The Drinks That Define the Night At Coupette, the soundtrack may be jazz, but the real story is often told in your glass. Every cocktail is treated like a performance—unexpected, refined, and always in step with the rhythm of the room. Take Apples, for instance. Crisp and clean with a Parisian elegance, it’s the drink that’s quietly become a London classic. For those leaning towards something playful, the Champagne Piña Colada delivers tropical charm with a flash of luxury—ideal for date nights that deserve a little sparkle. Prefer your drinks bold? Boardroom doesn’t whisper; it speaks with depth, richness, and confidence, perfectly suited to a late-night jazz set. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, our seasonal creations appear—improvised riffs from the bar team, keeping every visit fresh, alive, and in the moment. This isn’t simply drinking—it’s a dialogue between flavour, music, and mood. A conversation where Bethnal Green meets Paris, and where every sip feels like a story worth telling. Midweek Escapes, the Coupette Way Midweek in London doesn’t leave much breathing room—sardine-packed tubes, inboxes that never empty, and that nagging urge to call it a night before it’s even begun. But wander into our space on a Wednesday or Thursday and the mood flips instantly. The soft glow of candles, the hum of live music, and a pace that feels unhurried turn the evening into something worth savouring. It’s not just a night out—it’s a reset. Trade the sofa for sax riffs, swap spreadsheets for martinis, and let conversation stretch into laughter while the city outside races on. A couple of hours here, and suddenly the week feels lighter. The Details You’ll Want to Know Midweek is when the magic happens. Our jazz sessions land right in the middle of the week—just when you need a reason to step out. You’ll find us on Bethnal Green Road, far enough from the West End rush but still buzzing with city life. Expect live sets that fill the room, cocktails that change with the seasons, and that signature Coupette vibe—intimate, lively, and always a little unexpected. Why Coupette Stands Out London has no shortage of bars, but very few strike that sweet spot where the music, the drinks, and the crowd flow together effortlessly. Coupette does. The idea isn’t just to pour you a cocktail and put on a band—it’s to give you a night that lingers, one you’ll talk about the next day like you’ve uncovered a proper hidden gem. Looking for live music bars that feel more intimate than mainstream? Planning a date that’s stylish without being stiff? Or maybe you just want to trick Wednesday into acting like a Saturday. Whatever the reason, this is where you’ll find it. Because
Champagne and Fries: London’s Most Unexpectedly Perfect Pairing
Who would’ve guessed that the culinary plot twist of 2025 would be… fries and champagne? TikTok can claim the viral spark, sure, but at Coupette London we decided to give this cheeky pairing the stage it deserves — with our own East End swagger. Because here’s the thing: trends aren’t just something you scroll past, they’re something you taste. And nothing hits quite like a crisp fry dunked in salt, chased with the sparkle of proper champagne. It’s indulgence without the stuffiness; the kind of combo that makes you grin before you’ve even snapped the photo. But we don’t stop at following fads. At Coupette, the aim has always been to flip the ordinary into the unforgettable. That late-night craving? We’ll turn it into a conversation starter. That TikTok obsession? We’ll remix it into an experience that feels just as good in your glass as it looks on your feed. Step into our East London cocktail bar and you’ll see what we mean. The menu has been given a playful shake-up — fries meet fizz, cocktails carry a little mischief, and every plate feels like a wink to the kind of person who loves trying something first. Because being “in the know” tastes better when it comes with bubbles. The pairing feels almost too perfect to be accidental. And that’s why it’s gone from TikTok screens to Coupette’s tables — reimagined with a little London cool and a lot of flavour. This isn’t just about eating and drinking. It’s about living the trend, sharing the moment, and raising a glass (or basket of fries) to the simple things that end up rewriting the rules. And if 2025 has taught us anything already, it’s this: sometimes the most viral ideas are hiding in plain sight — or in this case, on your plate. So next time you’re hunting for the best cocktail bar in East London or looking for a food pairing that’s a little bit outrageous but totally works, you know where to come. Champagne. Fries. Coupette. Viral for all the right reasons. Why Champagne and Fries Just Work Think of it as the culinary equivalent of opposites attracting. On one hand, you’ve got golden, salty fries with that irresistible crunch. On the other, a chilled glass of champagne that’s crisp, dry, and bursting with bubbles. Together? Pure alchemy. The salt sharpens the sparkle, the fizz cleanses the palate, and suddenly what seemed like a TikTok gimmick starts feeling like a dining ritual you’ll want to repeat. At Coupette, we like to lean into contrasts. Our signature cocktails play with unexpected pairings — a splash of Calvados here, a whisper of cacao there — so it only makes sense that we’d take this trend and make it our own. Champagne with fries isn’t just fun, it’s flavour science, and we’re here for it. Fries, Fizz, & a Twist: Why Coupette is London’s New Playground for Foodies & TikTok Creators London doesn’t do ordinary anymore — not when it comes to food. Forget safe menus and predictable pairings; the city’s diners want moments that can live as comfortably on TikTok as they do on their taste buds. And this is where Coupette, tucked into the beating heart of London’s cocktail scene, has been quietly rewriting the rules. Take the now-legendary fries with champagne. It’s not a gimmick, not a hashtag-hungry stunt — it’s a deliberate clash of everyday comfort with unapologetic luxury. You’re handed a pile of fries fresh from the fryer, golden and steaming, with bubbles chosen to cut through the salt and starch like a perfectly rehearsed punchline. What could have been novelty turns into balance, and that deserves the right glass in hand. But Coupette never stops at one good trick. Their menu reads like an ongoing conversation between French elegance and London’s restless hunger for reinvention. One week, you might catch a playful limited-edition pairing inspired by the latest Gen Z food craze blowing up feeds across the UK; the next, you’re tasting something that feels like it’s been pulled straight from a Parisian late-night brasserie and dropped onto Bethnal Green Road with a cheeky wink. It’s dining that constantly asks: “What if?” And then there are the desserts. Not the predictable, sugar-laden finales you can find anywhere, but dishes that flip the script entirely. Think sweets that surprise you with a savoury edge, or nostalgic flavours dressed up for a night out. They’re the kind of plates that make you pause mid-scroll because they don’t just look good — they make you curious. That’s really the Coupette signature: every detail built for both pleasure and shareability. It’s indulgent without being pretentious, experimental without losing sight of flavour, and effortlessly tuned into the cultural rhythm of London right now. For diners chasing their next TikTok-worthy discovery, and for food lovers who simply want something that makes them smile, Coupette offers the rarest of combinations — a menu that entertains as much as it satisfies. So if you’re tired of safe dining and hungry for stories you can taste, you know where to book your next night out. More Than a Trend — It’s a Coupette State of Mind Yes, champagne and fries might have started as a viral TikTok moment, but in our world, it’s become a reflection of what dining in London should feel like in 2025: bold, curious, and just the right amount of cheeky. Food shouldn’t be fussy; it should spark conversations, invite laughter, and taste incredible while doing so. That’s why our menus are never static. From our renowned Apple cocktail that’s become a cult favourite, to limited-edition plates inspired by what’s buzzing online, Coupette thrives on making every visit feel like you’ve stumbled into something special. When people ask where to try champagne with snacks in London, we want the answer to always be with us, at Coupette, where flavour and fun hold equal weight. Join the Party Whether you’re here for the first time, curious about what all the fuss is about, or you’re a seasoned Coupette regular looking for the next unexpected delight, this pairing is waiting for you. Bring a mate, snap a story, or keep it
Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 – Watch It in Style at Coupette London
The Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 is charging into the UK with all the pace and power you’d expect from the biggest names in the game — and here in the heart of Bethnal Green, we’ve drawn up our own winning strategy. While stadium crowds belt out anthems and scramble for the best view, we’re offering a more refined playbook: rugby at its most exciting, paired with East London’s most talked-about cocktail experience. We’re not about cramming you shoulder-to-shoulder or serving lukewarm pints in plastic cups. At Coupette, we’ve blended the electric buzz of world-class rugby with the laid-back sophistication of a venue where every drink is mixed with precision, and every seat feels like it’s been saved just for you. The atmosphere? Equal parts adrenaline and elegance — where the cheers from the big screen mingle with the clink of ice in your glass. If you’ve been scrolling through endless lists trying to decide where to watch the Women’s Rugby World Cup, you can stop right here. This isn’t just another sports bar in London — this is the place where the action on screen is matched by the action behind the bar. Every try, conversion, and last-minute drop goal is toasted with cocktails that are crafted to start conversations, turn heads, and make the match-day memories even sweeter. And the best bit? You don’t need a ticket, a season pass, or to elbow your way to the front. Just grab your spot, settle in, and let us take care of the rest. Because at Coupette, we believe every match deserves a proper celebration — and we’ve got the drinks, the vibe, and the East London charm to make it happen. Your Front Row Seat – No Ticket Required We’re not in the business of being just another telly in the corner of a crowded pub. At Coupette, the match-day experience is dialled up to something far more memorable. You get all the excitement and roar of a big match atmosphere, but without the shoulder-shoving and spilled pints that come with the typical central London sports bar scene. Here, you can actually hear the commentary over the cheers, see every replay in crisp detail, and still have room to relax without guarding your drink like it’s the winning ball. Our layout isn’t about packing you in — it’s about letting you breathe, settle in, and enjoy the game without distraction. The screens are perfectly positioned, the audio is crystal-clear, and the seating is designed so you can stay put from the first whistle to the final score. It’s rugby watching as it should be: effortless, comfortable, and just that little bit indulgent. And because we know every scrum, try, and last-minute kick can get the nerves going, we’ve lined up a Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 specials menu that’s as much about the celebration as the sport itself. We’re talking playful nods to the season — like Strawberries & Cream-inspired serves that bring a taste of summer into your glass, alongside ice-cold pours for the purists, effervescent spritzes for those who like a bit of sparkle, and our much-loved French-inspired signature cocktails for a touch of refinement. It’s the kind of drinks line-up where every order feels like part of the event. Because truth be told, watching rugby at Coupette isn’t just about the scoreline — it’s about pairing world-class sport with drinks that have been mixed, stirred, or shaken with as much passion as the players bring to the pitch. Drinks Designed for Match Days Forget lukewarm lager in flimsy cups — we’re shaking up something worth arriving early for.

East London’s Quiet Answer to the French Bars of Soho: Inside Coupette’s Parisian Spirit
If you’re the sort who’s ever searched French bar Soho on a quiet afternoon or mapped out a route to discover the best French bars in London, chances are you’ve come across the usual suspects. These spots are charming, no doubt — and they do what they do well. But here’s the part Londoners don’t always hand over so easily. If you’re after authentic French cocktails in London — not just the look, but the know-how, the finesse, the restraint where it matters and the flair where it counts — you don’t need to linger in Central London. Some of the city’s most quietly brilliant expressions of Parisian mixology aren’t happening behind a hidden door in Soho. They’re happening right here, in plain sight, on Bethnal Green Road. Welcome to Coupette. A bar shaped by East London’s rhythm but carrying the spirit, the craft, and a little of that casual confidence you only find in the backstreets of Paris. We’re not trying to imitate anyone’s idea of a French cocktail bar. We’re doing what we’ve always done — blending precision with personality, tradition with a twist, and creating a space where good drinks don’t need a gimmick to stand tall. Ours is a bar where Calvados sits comfortably beside Cognac, where Champagne doesn’t wait for an occasion, and where a menu speaks fluently in French influence but with an East London accent. If you’re chasing Soho French-inspired drinks, you’ll find them here — just without the postcode premium or the velvet rope. Because great drinks? They don’t shout. They simply let you sip, savour, and wonder why you didn’t discover them sooner. Coupette — Bethnal Green’s quiet answer to London’s loudest French bars. What Makes Coupette Different from a Typical French Cocktail Bar? At Coupette, we’re not here to mimic the Parisian bar scene for the sake of appearances. What we do is something far more natural — we take the best of French cocktail culture and make it our own, blending it with the easy charm and creative energy. Our drinks don’t just nod politely to tradition — they respect it, while knowing exactly where it needs a subtle twist, a modern edge, or a little East London mischief. Precision? Always. But without the pretentiousness. Elegance? Naturally. But without the ego that often trails behind it. That’s the Coupette way. We’ve never felt the need to label ourselves a French bar in Soho — not because we couldn’t hold our own among them, but because our corner of London speaks for itself. Still, time and again, you’ll find us in the same conversations as those French bars in London with the zinc-topped counters and marble bistro tables. Why? Because the craft behind our drinks earns its place at that table. Our menus are built on foundations as solid as any Parisian institution: Calvados, Cognac, Champagne — the grand dames of French spirits all play a starring role here. But we bring them to life with a distinct Bethnal Green accent. Take Apples — a sparkling, crystalline tribute to Normandy’s orchards, balancing clarity with a quiet confidence. Or our Champagne Piña Colada — a tropical classic dressed in French sophistication, where coconut sorbet melts into Moët & Chandon with effortless style. These aren’t drinks built for trend-chasing or attention-grabbing; they’re created to be remembered, to make you pause mid-sip and think: this is how it should be done. Where others lean on aesthetic alone, we deliver drinks with depth. Because at Coupette, substance will always outshine surface. That’s what keeps people coming back. Not the noise, but the nuance. Not the performance, but the pour. If you’re searching for authentic French cocktails in London, don’t stop in Soho out of habit. Head east, where craft comes first, and every glass tells a story worth hearing.

Apples — A crisp, sparkling tribute to Normandy’s finest Calvados, served with clarity and a whisper of rebellion.
