Opening in early October, The Parrot is slated to be the latest hot spot at the Waldorf Hilton right in the center of London.
In conjunction with his partners Lee and Nicky Caulfield, Elba says the bar is going to be seriously swanky. According to Eater, guests at the bar can expect a “whole host of A-List surprises, from a hidden cocktail menu to regular, unannounced secret shows and an exclusive guest list.”
The signature cocktail menu is tropically tinged and inspired by 15 types of parrots according to the bar’s Instagram.
