MEATliquor founder launches Covent Garden bar BLOODsports

Founder Scott Collins said, “BLOODsports has been on the cards for over 10-years, it’s just been a case of waiting for the right site. It’s inspired by the best of the dive and sports bars I frequented when I lived in the US - with a carefully curated dash of horror films and our rock solid MEATliquor food menu with some BS specific dishes. In short, it’s a one stop fun shop…”

Several MEATliquor classics are on the menu, including the Dead Hippie burger and Monkey Fingers chicken strips, alongside new items including a deep-fried hotdog wrapped in bacon.

Drinks include cocktails, boozy slushies and ‘Bloods & Drips’ range of tomato-based drinks designed to ward off hangovers.

For groups, there are larger booths complete their own screens, as well as a private hire space with its own bar, booths and arcade machines.

Collins and Yianni Papoutsis founded MEATliquor as a London street food van and its first restaurant in Marylebone opened in 2011.

The group now has seven sites in London and one each in Brighton and Leeds.
