How a night at Babylon unfolds
We open at noon and close at two, or at four on Fridays and Saturdays. That is fourteen hours for one room to hold, and it does not hold them by staying the same. Here is what changes, hour by hour and night by night.
Where to sit at Babylon: a guide to every part of the floor
The floor is not one open room. There are twenty-one bar stools, ten islands, ten VIP tables, three VVIP booths and two private rooms, and the difference between them decides your evening more than anything you order.
What to order on your first visit
There are three menus here, not one, and most of the confusion on a first visit comes from not knowing which is in your hands. A guide to reading them, and to the order we would actually place.
