Rock After Dark: MR PORTER & Whispering Angel Set Mayfair Nights Ablaze
Descending a flight of monochrome marble steps into MR PORTER London feels like stepping into a different universe. Strong flavours, minimalist design, and a sense of theatre define the space, the work of creative entrepreneur Yossi Eliyahoo, who brought the much-loved Amsterdam steakhouse, bar, and lounge concept to the UK capital. A venue already known for its bold personality, Mr Porter now raises the bar again with a new weekly series: Wednesdays at MR PORTER.
On 10 September 2025, MR PORTER unveiled the launch of Wednesdays at MR PORTER, a weekly ritual built to set the tone for London nights. At the heart of this new series is the London debut of Rock After Dark, created in collaboration with Whispering Angel, the rosé that has redefined chic drinking culture across Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Paris, Germany, Mykonos, Athens, and Ibiza.
A Rosé Designed for the Night
The partnership may sound unexpected at first. A steakhouse famed for its masculine elegance and a rosé brand celebrated for its pale pink freshness. Yet, like all great pairings, it works precisely because of contrast. Rock After Dark is about bringing two worlds together: the intensity of fire-grilled flavours with the lightness of a Côte de Provence rosé, the late-night swagger of London with the sophisticated glamour of Whispering Angel.
Whispering Angel is known worldwide for its pale pink allure and effortless sophistication. With Rock After Dark, the brand takes a bold step forward, reimagining rosé as a drink not just for lazy afternoons but for the rhythm of the night. At MR PORTER, this vision comes to life in a setting where fire-grilled flavours, striking design, and cosmopolitan energy merge seamlessly.
The activation at MR PORTER brings this to life in a setting where fire-grilled flavours, striking design, and cosmopolitan energy merge seamlessly. The rosé becomes a visual and cultural symbol for nightlife: elegant yet unrestrained, playful yet powerful. Sipped against a backdrop of curated music and dynamic entertainment, each glass feels like part of a wider performance. A celebration of London’s evolving hospitality scene.
The Energy Behind the Night
Rock After Dark is more than a drinks partnership. It is a curated experience, brought to life by I AM ROCKSTAR Agency and IVANREY Entertainment, with the added presence of Beluga Vodka to elevate the bar programme. Together, they orchestrate a sensory journey that blends music, gastronomy, and style.
The unveiling on 10 September set the tone for what guests can expect on Wednesdays going forward. Every Wednesday, MR PORTER transforms into a hub of sound and spectacle: DJs and live acts set the pace, rosé flows, vodka cocktails sparkle, and the city’s tastemakers converge. It is a fusion of gastronomy, performance and nightlife. The result is a series that feels both glamorous and rebellious. Definitively a stage where London eclectic spirit is channelled through refined hedonism.
From Saint-Tropez to London
The international roll-out of Rock After Dark across Europe’s most iconic destinations has already proven its allure. Now, with its London debut, the series finds its most natural home yet. London has long been the beating heart of nocturnal creativity, a place where food, fashion, music, and art meet without boundaries.
MR PORTER’S launch of Wednesdays positions the venue as a cultural anchor for London’s late-night scene, offering something that feels truly global while remaining distinctly local. It is an experience that could only exist in London — a city that thrives on reinvention, where nights are defined not by routine but by ritual.
Dining, Drinking, Performing
The culinary side of MR PORTER remains central. Steaks grilled to perfection, bold sides, and carefully crafted plates provide a foundation for the night, while the drinks programme, led by Whispering Angel rosé and Beluga Vodka cocktail, takes centre stage as the evening evolves.
Yet what makes the night remarkable is its integration of dining and performance. This is not a simple dinner followed by drinks. It is a fluid experience where music, movement, and mood guide the flow of the night, erasing the line between restaurant, bar, and lounge. Everything blends into one seamless experience.
A Weekly Ritual
As the crowd disperses into the London night, climbing those marble steps back into the city, they carry more than just the memory of fine food and drink. They carry the imprint of a night where everything aligned — the flavours, the music, the glamour, the energy.
Wednesdays at MR PORTER have redefined what mid-week in London can mean. It is designed to set the rhythm of London nightlife, with Rock After Dark as its sparkling debut activation. Together, they have established not just a new event series, but a cultural ritual: a midweek celebration of style, taste, and the art of the night. It is a reminder that in the right hands, hospitality becomes art.
