IDRIS ELBA. People's sexiest man alive 2018 opened a cocktail bar. I repeat IDRIS ELBA, THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE 2018 and Lee and Nicky Caufield opened a cocktail bar and trust me ladies and gentleman, this is one sexy and delicious bar.
Part of the Waldorf hotel, the Parrot is a luxury cocktail bar with an extensive craft cocktail menu and live music and special guests on most nights especially weekends. They even had the sexiest man alive/partner Idris Elba and Louis Vitton artistic director Virgil Abloh djing the other month.
Since it is a more upscale bar, the cocktails are on the pricier side (comparable to the cocktail bar prices of Opium or Experimental), but overall they are very tasty and the ambiance is very comforting and not too pretentious.
I am all about pretty looking drinks so here are a few of my favorites:
+The Perriquito del Sol - a tarragon infused tequila with orange and grapefruit tonic in a cute bird shaped glass
+The Dusky Parrot - a whisky smoked drink in a babushka doll. The smoking presentation was beautiful.
Overall, the staff was extremely nice and the place was not too packed on a Thursday night but I suggest making a reservation in advance as it can get packed! read more
