The Alligator Bar in Covent Garden is a sultry, jazz-infused hideaway serving French-inspired cuisine with a New Orleans twist, perfect for late-night dining and live music lovers. Whether you're planning a stylish night out or just fancy a cocktail with character, The Alligator Bar delivers with flair.
The Alligator Bar sits in the heart of Covent Garden, just steps from the West End’s theatres and Soho’s nightlife. Housed in a historic 19th-century townhouse, this intimate venue blends vintage charm with modern flair - think velvet seating, a curved bar, fireplace, and a retractable roof terrace that doubles as a lush garden escape.
The menu is a decadent mix of French and Creole flavours, offering small plates and snacks ideal for sharing. Highlights include lobster rolls, crispy calamari with Cajun spice, tuna crostini, and smoked cucumber fritters. There’s also a selection of oysters, southern pecan pie, and Creole-spiced almonds for those craving something indulgent. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, and the kitchen caters to dietary needs with flair.
Drinks are a major draw, with a curated list of signature cocktails, absinthe frappés, and premium champagnes like Dom Pérignon and Louis Roederer Cristal. Whether you're sipping a Manhattan at the piano or enjoying a spritz on the terrace, the vibe is effortlessly cool.
The Alligator Bar also hosts private events and group bookings, making it a versatile venue for birthdays, corporate gatherings, and special celebrations. With its blend of moody lighting, eclectic décor, and soulful soundtrack, it offers a unique alternative to Covent Garden’s more traditional dining spots. Whether you're popping in for a cocktail before curtain-up or settling in for a night of jazz and small plates, The Alligator Bar promises an experience that’s as stylish as it is memorable.
