Oriole are excited to welcome you to their new, permanent new home - it’s been a while coming, but to say they're excited is an understatement. It’s still Oriole, but different; to start with, there's now two whole floors.
On the ground floor, you’ll find the Bamboo Bar. Walk ins are welcome here from 3pm onwards, where you can find a range of aperitivo-style cocktails, plus Oriole’s delicious small plates menu. Some cocktails will be available on draught (still hand-crafted by highly skilled bartenders) and if it’s a sunny day, there's outdoor seating.
Downstairs in the Restaurant, you’ll find a more familiar Oriole vibe: a plush basement space reminiscent of the original speakeasy. Expect innovative signature cocktails alongside a new á la carte food menu, which celebrates the fusion cuisines of Latin America. Oriole food has always been special, but now they're going to the next level. Our Dinner and Show booking is incredibly good value for money too, so don't miss out.
Naturally, the evening will be soundtracked by live jazz, cabaret and world music from some of the finest musicians in London.

Our Review Of Oriole: A Covent Garden Cocktail Gem
I’d never been to a cocktail bar with live jazz before but I’ve always imagined my first time to be a lot like La La Land, when Mia unwittingly follows a neon sign into a basement only to find her future boyfriend looking frustrated playing Christmas hits. But a lot was separating Oriole from…
