Andover’s newest hotspot, Vicolo Lounge, officially opened its doors on Wednesday 15th October — and it’s already proving to be a big hit with locals.
Our photographer, Daniel Ghita, was there throughout the evening capturing the atmosphere — from people raising glasses to the first cheers echoing through the building.
The stylish new venue, located in the former Barclays Bank building on the High Street, welcomed guests for breakfast and lunch on opening day. The Love Andover team popped in to try it for ourselves — and you can see our videos from the visit on our social media channels.
Later that evening, Vicolo Lounge hosted an exclusive invite-only launch party from 6pm to 8pm, where local businesses and community figures got a first look inside the stunning new lounge before it opened to the public.
A Night of Celebration for Andover
The opening night was buzzing with excitement as guests enjoyed a free bar and complimentary tapas while exploring the beautifully renovated venue. What was once a bank has been transformed into a warm, vibrant, and welcoming social space that fits perfectly into Andover’s growing town centre scene.
Local Businesses Show Their Support
Local business owners were full of praise for the new addition to the town.
Bev from The Travelling Cupcake said:
“This is beautiful and a great place for the town.”
Andrew from Belvoir said:
“What a transformation. The food is delicious and the décor is stunning. This is brilliant for the town”
Their words reflect the general feeling from everyone who attended — that Vicolo Lounge brings a fresh new vibe and a touch of city-style dining to Andover’s High Street.
