Forza Taps occupies the lower Weston Terrace of the National Theatre, one of Britain’s most important modernist buildings and a Grade I listed landmark. A—NY worked with Forza to develop the layout and flow of the 60-cover, walk-in outdoor bar, preparing the drawings for planning and shaping the terrace around the existing architecture.

Sitting directly below Forza Wine, the project carries the same informal character into a new setting, with wine, beer and cocktails on tap alongside a pared-back food offer. What began as a summer intervention has since returned year after year, giving the project a life beyond its original brief and turning a temporary idea into a recurring part of the South Bank.
