The Lost Alpaca

Nice spot! Went for drinks with a great happy hour! The atmosphere was very intimate and the bar is quite dimly lit. Had a few small plates which were lovely but the portions were quite small

The Lost Alpaca is a pisco bar in London serving a range of Latin American cocktails and specialty spirits in the basement below Floral by Lima. The menu showcases a number of spirits including Mexico’s mezcal and tequilas, Brazil’s cachaca and Venezuela’s rums. I love a cocktail list where I would be happy to try them all! There are 12 to choose from ranging in price between £9.50 and £11 which is pretty average for Covent Garden. We started off with the Floral Kamikaze with Vodka, Pisco & Lychee, Chilly flakes (£10.5) which was a recommendation from the bar staff. It came with a special flower which changes the way the drink tastes. Just to warn you, it makes your tongue numb for a couple of minutes so don’t worry! The Cuzco Melon Pisco, Midori & Melon (£10) tasted fresh (they do use fresh melon after all) but had too much ice in. Following these we tried two sweeter cocktails – the Leila Pisco, Lychee Liquor, Mango & Lemon Balm (£9.5) and the Evita Prosecco, Passion Fruit & Mango, Egg (£9). Both were presented beautifully and had a sweet tang. Very drinkable! The cocktail list also features some classics including a pisco sour and a negroni. They also offer mocktails including Tropical Passion Lychee, Passion Fruit & Vanilla and Berry Boost Berries, Peach & Guava, all priced at £6.50. We ordered a few bar snacks to accompany our cocktails. Our favourite dish was the Fried Sweet Potato Cakes Chilli & Andean herb dip (£4) which were perfectly fried without being too oily and full of filling. The Tequeños Venezuelan cheese sticks with spicy fruit sauce (£6) and the Beef Empanadas Huancaina dip (£5.5) were also tasty and we loved each of the sauces. The Lost Alpaca is a lovely pisco bar in London with a relaxed vibe and friendly staff. They also offer 2-4-1 Pisco Sours Sunday to Thursday between 4-7pm and Friday and Saturday between 4-6pm! Every Thursday they also have Latino Nights from 6-11 where you can get £6 mojitos, micheladas and sex on the beach.

Nice little cocktail bar, with had the good old pisco sour, which packed a real punch. wonderful!

Great little cocktail bar. Ambience good, cocktails and service excellent. Worth booking in advance (it’s small and they limit numbers)

Lovely cellar cocktail bar. Decor is fun, sophisticated, dimly lit. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Our 4 cocktails were excellent, we even had one as a mock tail with no fuss (and a discount). Will be back!
