Slug & Lettuce Colchester has reopened following an exciting investment, marking the start of a new era for the cocktail bar.

The popular Colchester venue has undergone a full transformation across the ground floor, creating a vibrant, glamorous space packed with colour, texture and Instagram-worthy details.

Guests can expect instant impact on arrival, with the bar’s externals now painted in a lush dark blue shade, finished with illuminated S&L signage, allowing the venue to stand out late at night.

The entrance has been reimagined with a striking new lighting scheme, featuring a mix of single-drop and multi-drop pendant fittings. Each piece is finished with frosted glass globes, casting a soft glow that enhances the vibrant, party-ready atmosphere.

The ground floor bar has been completely refurbished, with a new gold colour theme, bronze-tinted mirrors, and illuminated bottle display steps making a trip to the bar look more inviting than ever.

Seating throughout the venue has been refreshed and elevated, with fixed booths re-upholstered in bold, vibrant and luxurious fabrics in shades of pink, teal, blue and gold. The existing ‘birdcage’ booths have been upgraded with new upholstery paired with a dark green aesthetic to make enjoying 2-4-1 cocktails more comfortable than ever.

Located on 111 High Street, the venue also boasts new pristine new decorative lighting, wallpapers and refreshed paint finishes to complete the eye-catching new look.

Maddie Barter, General Manager at Slug & Lettuce Colchester, said: “This refurbishment has completely transformed the venue and we’re so excited to welcome our guests back. It’s brighter, bolder and more glamorous than ever, while still keeping the fun, social atmosphere Slug & Lettuce is known for.
