**ABOUT US**

Experimental Group was founded in 2007 with the opening of Experimental Cocktail Club in Paris, taking the Parisian bar scene by storm. In 2010, the group crossed the channel and opened ECC Chinatown, a first foray onto foreign shores for the group. Over the last 15+ years, the group has grown exponentially with bars, restaurants and now hotels across London, Paris, New York, Verbier, Venice, Menorca, Ibiza and the Cotswolds. At the heart of the group is a passion for cocktails, something that is clearly evident throughout Experimental Group’s venues today. Often featured in the New York Times, Conde Nast Traveller, Vogue and the Financial Times, Experimental Group has also published it’s very own cocktail book which was nominated as Best New Cocktail Book at Tales of the Cocktail.

STEREO is the Experimental Group’s newest endeavour. Inspired by the vibrant late-night cultures of New York and London, complete with the undertones of Parisian chic, STEREO will offer a masterfully curated mix of music, food, and drinks. STEREO will feature an extensive drinks menu, American inspired culinary bar classics, and an eclectic and dynamic music programme. Our menu will be developed by Chef-Restauranteur Andrew Clarke, who you have seen at his newest joint Acme Fire Cult in Dalston. His dishes will be inspired by American classics. Behind the bar, the team is led by Experimental Group veteran Nicolas Brulin. The offering will see local products from Partizan Brewery and Thames Distillers (including a STEREO house vodka & gin), plus a strong focus on sustainability where wastage is minimised by using large drums to store our spirits. Our music ties it all together, with a rotating series of resident DJs and curated one-off performances.

**What we offer you**:
We ensure you're rewarded, whether you’re looking for an entry-level employment or a new opportunity to evolve, we make a point to recruit, develop, and retain the most motivated and talented people from all backgrounds and skills. Here is what we can offer you:
