    This is a really fun night, and all things considered, they do a good job…read more There is a lovely deco-themed lounge that opens at 6:30pm. There is a cloak room for £2 item. Drinks are on special until 8pm. Seating for dinner isn't until 8:30ish. Cocktail list is extensive and fun, and come in lovely cut-crystal glassware. We did the dinner & show ticket. We were really hungry as food didnt start until 9pm. Starters were decent, but the main vegetarian course (risotto) was like a bowl of bland soupy rice. I didn't eat more than 3 bites of it. Dessert was cheesecake and good. There are performances throughout the night, and not a bad table in the house. If you just get the "show" ticket, you will be on tall stools in the back. There was a lot of great dancing, some arial acts, and a seriously impressive magician. There were also some drunken hen parties adding to the entertainment- it was impressive how the staff kept them from disrupting things. Afterward, there was a dj in the lounge to keep the party going. Despite the terrible main course, I still thought it was a really fun night out.

    A wonderful experience and evening of great entertainment! We wanted to do something different…read morethat's not readily available to us in the US. This was the perfect choice of drinks, dinner and entertainment all in one. Arrive around 7 pm for pre-dinner drinks and entertainment. Then be shown to your table at 8. The entertainment troupe is outstanding. So glad we made this choice for a night out in London!

    I was visiting London and I looked up Things to Do. One of them mentioned cabarets, and after doing…read moresome research I concluded that it looked like Moulin Rouge, so innocent me said, THIS WILL BE A GREAT IDEA. And it was! Except for some minor stripping. But that's okay because tassels count for something, right? Anyway, yes the show was actually pretty good. It features some acrobatics, dancing, fire hula hoops, you name it. I was impressed given that the actual stage was quite small. The actors used the mezzanine quite extensively. I think of it as a very light cirque du soleil that is slightly bawdy. But I repeat, it is not a gentleman's club. In fact, the audience was either couples or groups of women. The seating is kind of weird upstairs. The room is circular so you may happen to view the show from behind the actors, which is what we did. It was still good but there were certain scenes that took place behind pillars, and it was a bit harder to view those scenes. I bought tickets for only 15 pounds (that's around $22 USD as of this writing) so it was not a bad deal.

    Yelp Attorney Essentials: Clearly, Café de Paris completely…read moredepends on the situation and who is playing/performing/DJing the night you go. If you are bold enough to meet anyone anywhere, I would suggest it. However, I recommend going with Europeans who are either visiting or temporarily living in London, as they will be a good guide and hopefully know when a good DJ is playing. If you just happen to end up near Piccadilly Circus with your wife and are kinda lyke whatever, doing the touristy thing, you could have fun here for a hot minute but really I suggest going to a different club...

    Typically I prefer my Italian restaurants to go in the direction of red and white checkered…read moretableclothed casual affairs, garish faux Renaissance marble sculptured settings, or Rat Pack-style cabaret, but not all three simultaneously. And yet Bunga Bunga unabashedly mashes all corners of the Italian stereotype spectrum into one entertaining, self-aware, low-brow night out in Londontown. We came here with a big group, which is probably the only way to sufficiently benefit from Bunga Bunga's basement amusements. In addition to the aforementioned intentional miscellany, the bar in the back sported wood paneling and served tiki glasses in the likenesses of Don Corelone, Julius Caesar, Mario Balotelli, and Silvio Berlusconi (whose infamous sex parties seemingly inspired the restaurant name), as we gathered for welcome drinks and got our first taste of this place's quirkiness. We were then seated at a long table, under tacky track lighting and suddenly surrounded by a singing and dancing and clapping wait staff. (You know the awkward, anxious vibe of not knowing what these extroverts are about to drag you into next, and the concurrent regret of not having enough tiki drinks prior to this point to withstand it.) The food, antipasto and pizzas and the like served family style, was secondary to Bunga Bunga's entertainment angle, the various cured meats being the most memorable offering. And as we forked bresaola and coppa into our mouths, an old timey curtain was drawn back to reveal The Bunga Boys, a talented five-piece house band with a lounge lizard twist on oldies and modern pop. Post-dinner serenading and entertaining, the stage area was transformed into a karaoke room, complete with a dinghy for you and your crew to wait for your turn at the mic, plus all the nautical props your maritime heart could hope for as you dance in circles with a captain's hat and life vest and drunkenly stop wondering where the hell you are and just shamelessly embrace it all. I hear they have a Matinee Brunch, and that definitely feels like the right time for this brand of entertainment - cheesy, lighthearted, innocent, and unpretentious, where you have little responsibility other than to show up and have a good time. And did I have a good time, you ask? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Well, let's not get carried way. Once is probably enough for the full Bunga Bunga experience....

    Saturdays are the best day for brunching and Bunga Bunga have opened their doors on Saturday…read moreafternoons for hungry diners who wish to enjoy their Matinee Brunch, but also wish to be entertained. A few weeks back I got the opportunity to attend and I jumped at the opportunity. I have to admit that this was one of the best brunches that I have ever been to! I literally had the best time of my life! If you read on, you will find out why... From the moment, you enter Bunga Bunga, the staff becomes super secretive, I was taken through a back door and down a set of stairs, which leads to the main dining area. I was a little apprehensive at first, my initial thoughts were 'Where the hell are they taking me?' but I also thought this was apart of the whole theatrics. You see, the entertainment is Italian mob style, similar to popular films like the Godfather or the Italian job. The brunch starts with warm Brioche bread, served with Burrata and homemade tomato jam. The Brioche is very dewy and sweet, which makes it sit perfectly with the tomato jam. I finished the jam in 5 minutes flat and did the shameless action of asking for more tomato jam and Brioche as if my name was Oliver twist-Embarrassing much! However, for me, the combination was just so moreish! The antipasto was secondly presented, which is Bresaola, Coppa, Mortadella, and Finocchiona Salami. I still had some leftover tomato jam and brioche so I paired this together. Before I could even tuck into the metro pizza, I was alerted by the sounds of cop sirens, the entertainment had begun again. An Italian couple graced the stage as the new scene began. Running from the cops, the couple encouraged and advised us to drink up the prosecco, as it may be the last thing we were drinking as the cops were around the corner. After a few minutes of chatter, the couple then broke into a melody rendition of 'Anything you can do, I can do better.' What I loved was the rest of the diners also started singing along. I guess the cops were tailing onto the couple as they ran off the stage and I began to tuck into my pizza. The brunch metro pizza is one metre long with three different toppings. I glared at the pizza in utter shock! One metre of pizza! Luckily, my friend was here to help me devour the pizza! The topping choices are as followed; -Tuscan sausage, tomato, mozzarella, pancetta and a baked egg. -Quattro for Maggi: Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Taleggio, and Parmesan -Mozzarella, Spinach, and Stracchino cream I opted for the vegan cheese and the removal of the egg due to my dairy allergies and for all you veggie and vegan lovers, you will be happy to learn that there are vegetarian and vegan options. My favourite topping was the Tuscan sausage options as the sausage is well cooked and tasty, overall the pizza has a dewy texture but I do think this was due to the vegan cheese. What to drink? The brunch comes complete with 2 hours of bottomless prosecco and Bellini, but my advice is to drink fast as those 2 hours do fly by. I choose to go with the Bellini, as they are an absolute fruity dream and pair nicely with the brunch menu. Lastly, there is the Drunken Espresso Tiramisu, however, I opted out of due to my allergies. Overall, this is one of the best brunches, I have ever attended in London, although I am not a huge fan of Italian food (Only due to the fact most Italian dishes predominately contain milk and cheese, which I have allergies for) the entertainment makes the brunch worthwhile. After two whole hours of Bellini drinking, I somehow got nominated by my guest and ended up on stage singing Valerie by Amy Winehouse; oh, did I forget to mention that there is karaoke and live music after the brunch, where you or your guest can nominate diners to sing. Oh, and please note, and if you sing badly the hosts and entertainers will sing over you, and that is your cue to leave the stage, thankfully this did not happen to me! Price: ££ (£44 per person) What to wear: Casual (I wore a leather jacket, cashmere jumper, and trainers) Ambience: Traditional Italian themed restaurant with live entertainment and karaoke

    UnCorked is London's newest jazz theatre company, and our city's best kept secret. Combining…read moreimmersive theatre with jazz cabaret dance, the company specializes in breaking the fourth wall between the performers and their audience, challenging them to observe private acts that are usually left behind closed doors. By immersing the performance in and amongst the audience, characters entice those around them to follow their story, encouraging the audience to choose their own adventure. UnCorked is defined by a cast of authentically powerful entertainers. Together they are dedicated to creating captivating productions. They are consistently pushing the social and creative boundaries of jazz and live theatre, leaving their audience feeling nothing short of alive. I went along to their production "How to Solve a Problem Like Murder" which was held in the pub Paradise By Way Of Kensal Green. The event was being held upstairs of the establishment. Me and my friend was handed a envelope with a mask to wear, pen, suspect page and note page. We was the both led up the stairs by a boy and girl (well two adults pretending to be children) and then we entered a room where there was some performing half naked sexy dancing ladies who were part of the whole act / story. I cant say much about the story as don't want to give anything away but basically there is affairs going on between the whole group of woman and the men so many arguments happen but the best part was that the dancing that the ladies and men do throughout the show there was about 6 different dances throughout the night. The boy and girl guides you to important pieces of info throughout the night and also whilst going around listening and watching the acting taking place you have to be quite which is good as does not spoil what is going on and can take in more what is going on. Also the difference with this murder mystery is that you had to solve who was going to be murdered and who was the killer so unique in that respect. I got the killer right and my friend got who would be murdered correctly. However even though we got them right we did not get a prize just a slip of paper with a saying on it so that was a tad disappointing and also we could not even keep the masks which i think is quite unhygienic to give back for them to reuse again and its not even like the masks were expensive they were cheap. However well worth the money as the acting by all was superb and a great plot the best murder mystery I have ever done and so different. So don't miss out and book your murder mystery with Uncorked productions today. Tickets have already sold out for most dates so get booking fast.
