he Parrot London is a cocktail bar and music venue that welcomes guests who value quality food, drinks and entertainment in an intimate tropical environment. The venue combines old world sophistication with contemporary details, designed for the modern hedonist. The chic space nestled in the iconic Waldorf Hilton Hotel will bring back the eclectic buzz and atmosphere of London’s glory days, with a steady flow of world class performers set to take over the Yamaha London Stage.

The 60 seater venue is an intimate home to cocktail artistry from Massimiliano Terrile inspired by London’s tropical visitors and inspiration behind the bar, Parrots. Executive chef Karl Richardson has kept the creative momentum with a selection of unique dishes to complement the setting.

The music programme will see daily acts, starting with pre-theatre sessions to start the evening and leading into headline acts making the most of the top-end Yamaha sound technology. The guest artists will bring the space to life, with the lucky few who are in the bar on the right night having the chance to hear a world-famous artist just steps away. Much like an expedition into the jungle, you never quite know what you will see, but on the right day at the right time: you end up discovering a rare species.

Celebrate your special event in instagrammable surroundings with live music performed by one of our talented artists. Discover private hire packages in the Parrot and customize every aspect of your celebration, from custom cocktail lists to food designed to be shared. An ideal venue for groups of up to 60 guests, The Parrot sits hidden away in the iconic Waldorf Hilton, nestled on Aldwych in between legendary theatre shows such as Mama Mia! And Tina Turner. If you are looking for an evening to be remembered – allow our team of moment makers to create an event that is truly you.

    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.
