Prelude By Oriole

Giving us a taste of things to come at their grand reopening in late 2024, Prelude By Oriole is a brilliant pop-up bar slinging out international cocktails and Nikkei-inspired small plates. Enjoy delicious dishes like chickpea chipped dipped in aioli, raw scallops with kiwi or beef tartare, while listening to live piano music and sipping on cool concoctions - we recommend the Roku gin and absinthe blend Chincha Alta.

Salvador and Amanda Covent Garden

Live Music Fridays and 3 other offers

Salvador and Amanda is all about drinks, tapas and fiestas just a stone's throw from Covent Garden station. A night here feels like a quick trip across the Bay of Biscay, with Spanish-style partying and sangria aplenty. There are even flamenco classes for those looking to improve their toe-tapping skills.
