Ballie Ballerson is opening a second site in Soho this evening, and the Standard has an exclusive first look.

The ball pool cocktail bar is opening a new venue on Berwick Street, with 6,000 square feet of ball pits.

Ballie Ballerson's original Shoreditch site quickly became a favourite with Londoners after opening in 2016, boasting the world’s largest permanent ball pit.

Guests at Berwick Street can expect a colourful, neon-lit setting, and a cocktail list featuring the likes of the Soho Sundown – mixed up out of rhubarb gin, lemon juice, syrup and meringue.

Founder Wenny Armstrong told the Standard: “We have introduced touches, such as our Soho Sundown ball pit, to create a part of the experience that gently reflects the history of the area, as well as an exclusive Soho inspired cocktail and pizza.

“Our whole aesthetic has really taken a step up from our pop-up origins to meet the expectations that come with being in such a competitive location.”

It could be the first of a number of new Ballie Ballerson venues too, with Armstrong also revealing that they’re currently “seeking additional locations”, which may expand into other parts of the country.

The original site closes for a refurbishment this month, and will reopen in early November.
