Beaver Lodge Launch

Hot on the heels of the first beaver sightings for over 500 years in Britain, December saw the launch of Charlie Gilkes and Duncan Stirling’s new tongue-in-cheek nightclub, Beaver Lodge, a cabin bar and dance saloon based on Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The seventh venue for The Inception Group, whose quirky venues include Bunga Bunga, Mr Fogg’s and 80s-themed Maggie’s, Beaver Lodge didn’t disappoint, with famous guests including James Blunt and his wife Sofia Wellesley—who got quite carried away with the props in the photo booth; the singer, known for being extremely affable, was seen wielding an axe at one point!

Also in attendance were Denise van Outen, displaying a very fetching cowboy hat and cuddling up to a giant grizzly bear while waiting for her new boyfriend, Eddie Boxshall and Kirsty Gallagher, Astrid Harbord, Ollie Locke, Zoe Hardman, George Frost and Adam Bidwell.

Guests all enjoyed choreographed line dancing by staff, a giant beaver spreading Christmas cheer through the crowds and chugging on good ole’ American liquor, including Bulleit boilermakers (a lethal concoction of beer chased with a shot of whisky) that were made especially at the dedicated Bulleit Bourbon Bar. Well, who wouldn’t love partying down in Beavers..?
