Bar offers free cocktail for Pokémon Go players
By Nicola CarruthersM Victoria Street in London has created four cocktails inspired by the latest Pokémon craze – and they’re free for Pokémon Go users.
Which Pokémon character inspired this cocktail?Every Friday during August, M Victoria Street, near Victoria tube station will be giving out a free cocktail to players of the virtual reality game when they show the bar staff which of the four gifted Pokémon they have chosen.
When Pokémon trainers start their virtual quest they select a starter Pokémon – either Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander, or the iconic Pikachu.
As a reward, M Victoria Street is offering players aged 21 and over a complimentary colour-matched cocktail, created in honour of the four signature characters.
Plus if guests can catch a Pokémon character in or outside the M Wine Store, they receive a £25 voucher for use at the restaurant.
