We were fortunate to attend a live jazz night with an incredibly talented female lead singer and fantastic band. Creative and delicious cocktails to compliment the interior and entertainment!

Well located near Farringdon, this local gem is uniquely situated at the Smithfield Market with a spacious basement. Their menu is pretty creative showcasing different regions of the world and the cocktails are tasty and well presented. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks!

An absolute gem of a cocktail bar. The staff are super attentive and their list has some excellent choices that you can tell, the mixologists just love creating. Live music and excellent service make for a great night and 5 hours fly by! Highly recommended.

Lovely underground fancy jazz bar. The decor is nice and old-school. Cocktails are a little extravagant, but nice. The stand-out for me was that all the staff were so lovely and accommodating. They had great knowledge on the menus too. Great date spot.

I ve had the most amazing cocktails in this bar! Here you don't get the standard mojito, cosmopolitan but real different flavour combinations that's either floral, sweet sour, salty ... impressive.they really play with the senses also the smell. Food is also good, I've had the best fried squid ever! The waiters/ waitress are great.they really can advise you well

Magnificent place for special cocktails and live music. The band was grand, and the performances were all marvelous. Nice mood for a Friday evening. Would recommend the whiskey cocktails, extremely well done, without subduing the peaty flavors. The food was good enough but nothing to crave for later - just a pretty good foundation for the amazing drinks.

Oh I had been missing a good jazz night for so long! Oriole bar is absolutely one of the best jazz clubs I've been to in London; first of all, we got lucky because this amazing duet was playing, Baraka Jazz, check them out on Instagram, they really deserve it. Just walking down the stairs and immersing yourself into the vibe makes you feel like in a movie, the chattering of the people, the band playing, the dimmed lights and classy decor, the cocktail bar... and what a choice of cocktails, the beautifully designed menu introduced us to a geographically classified selection of drinks and the way they were presented to us, even the glasses, and definitely the taste, left us so satisfied! We also had some food, mostly small bytes, which usually could be a risky move in a bar in London but I really have to say I was so surprised at how delicious, delicate and flavoursome everything was. Spectacular night in this great little gem of a jazz club, highly recommend to all jazz and live music lovers.

Love this bar! Loved the whole theme inside and all the artefacts dotted around The staff were so courteous and friendly, and did a wonderful job at introducing each of our cocktails. The food was splendid- had a burratina to start and steak as a main.. perfectly cooked! And the sweet potato chips were probably the best ones we've had! Each cocktail was so different and unique to anywhere we've been before and they were all really well made The live pianist was great too! A variety of jazz (all based around the moon in light of Saturday's blue moon), with singing and the flute! Fantastic experience overall and we already can't wait to go back!

Really happy I found this little place - via Google Maps - as I'd never heard of it despite being here for years. It's a proper New York style cocktail bar, low lighting and bar seating as well as regular tables and benches. We didn't stay for the band but there's live music each night. Cocktails are largely experimental but mostly great. The Acadia (Bourbon and peanut butter based drink) was my favourite, though there's definitely something for all tastes. Some drinks are a bit gimmicky, served in funny looking containers etc, but very interesting nonetheless.

One of my favorite bars to chill and enjoy good cocktails, I believe the vibe changes with the live music. Sometimes you are fortunate to have a very cool old school blues, that make the place even more special, but when it comes down to what you go there for, it doesn't fail, great drinks in a very particular environment. Could keep on going back again and again and again! Food is also awesome, their burger, their desserts, everything :) Back again for the collaboration with tales and spirits (so awesome) great cocktails, great vibe! Loving it!
