We visited the Parrot cocktail bar in Aldwych, situated within the Waldorf Hilton on a Friday evening. The bar is a partnership with Lee and Nicky Caulfield and is intended to draw on the exotic inspiration of the Palm Court where the Waldorf has traditionally hosted entertainment events.
Wow, what a cocktail menu. They all sounded so good. We started with Puffer Parrot (£13): Absolut Elyx vodka, seasonal mixed fruit and vanilla ice cream. The glass was designed more like a puffer fish than parrot but looked pretty cool! The cocktail was more like an alcoholic fruit smootie so a little thicker than normal, presumably because of the ice cream.
We loved the Kakapo (£15): Roku gin infused with basil, cucumber and sugar snaps, elderflower cordial, lime juice, vanilla syrup and soda water. The cocktail arrived in an exquisite parrot shaped glass and the flavour combinations working perfectly.
Along with our cocktails we enjoyed some of the signature bar dishes. We tried the Confit Duck Spring Roll, sirrachi, soy and spring onion (£9) and the Spicy Crispy Squid, smoked chilli jam and kimchi (£9). The duck spring rolls were packed full of filling and the spicy crispy squid packed a punch when paired with the chilli jam. They were excellent small plates to enjoy with the cocktails and the squid was some of the best we have tasted.
Parrot is a gorgeous cocktail bar in Aldwych, perfectly located near the theatre district. The cocktails are beautifully created and presented and it has a sophisticated but unpretentious vibe. We loved that there is a live band on Friday and Saturday evenings.
I had such a lovely time here on my birthday. Lovely decor, great staff and lovely clientele too. Everyone in the establishment on the day were so friendly and sang happy birthday to me. Would highly recommend, didn't pre-book on the day, but to avoid disappointment I would recommend booking a table.
Great place and atmosphere, wide choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, live music and excellent service.
Lovely lively atmosphere. Cocktails served in stunning cocktail glasses!!!
Very classy place, superb customer service, nice music. Have to go back on a weekend
Good value cocktails, nice atmosphere and friendly staff, who were happy to adjust cocktails to your taste, or make recommendations. I'll recommend their signature Parrot cocktail, which was impressive by the size of the chunk of ice in it, and a Parrot logo seared into it (don't worry, the cocktail isn't all ice, as you might find in some cocktail bars).
Fabulous service and live music - my new favourite place
I was getting late for my reservation and Ross was so good and helpful and adjusted it so that I could make it an hour late. It was my first time at the Parrot and i must say the presentation on cocktails are amazing and was soooo good ! I had a Wowcher deal and it was well worth it ! It was date night and we absolutely smashed ghe night starting at the Parrot! Many thanks for the great service of Ross @ the parrot bar!
Great drinks menu and they were happy to make drinks for your taste. Good music and the cocktails were not over priced.
Cool place with an upbeat! Nice to go here for the beginning of the evening before you head out. Good service however drinks was overpriced.
Cute, cozy bar with a nice selection of unique cocktails. Enjoyed the live music and overall atmosphere.
Great atmosphere for drinks and a catch, the cocktails were amazing and didnt cost an arm and a leg. I would be coming back here
