Fun Girls Night Out

July 15, 2010

My friends and i had a great girl's night out at The Peacock Bar. We went on a hot saturday night and i have to say it was so crowded in there we thought it would be terrible but it made it even more fun! The drinks service was slow to begin with but after we were seated our hostess ended up doing first few rounds of table service which we thought was raeally nice. The cocktail were cheap and tasty (come were even strong which we weren't complaining about!) the music was fun and cheesey! we ended up knowing the words to every song! It was great to sing and dance along to! We didnt end up having any food but from what we could see of other tables there looked like there were alot to choose from. My only compaint was that is was so crowded that there didnt seem like there was any air con going through and that the toilets were a little cramped but otherwise a great girls night out! id defintely take my friends there for a night out!

However please feel free to come in whatever you feel comfortable in and choose from lounging around in our 30s sofas to enjoying a Sunday roast at one of candelabra decorated tables. Not that hungry – why not choose from our bar menu or order afternoon cream tea.

Except for one thing ........ ....he does so so love the ladies. So don't be surprised when he walks into the crowd and comes back with a beautiful lady to sing a love song too. Top notch singing and improv from cabaret's self proclaimed coolest cat.

Oh and if there are any performers in the audience let us know and we will see if we can put you on stage too!

Fresh fruit smoothies and naughty 2 for 1 cocktails all night

However in keeping with the naughty side of Hollywood we also have our delicious range of cocktails 2 for 1 all day /night as well.

Oh and our mixologists would be more than happy to take you behind the bar to show you how to make the cocktail of your choice for that special person in your life

Unlike anything I have ever seen!

February 20, 2010

I know a bit about burlesque and cabaret clubs from a former girl friend who is really into that scene. However no one else seems to be doing it the Peacock way.

On arriving the first thing you notice is that all the staff are in white tie or evening dress and that a lot of the customers are dressed up. It is all very civilised with groups like us eating (£10 sharing plates are very good) and sipping cocktails (good too). That all changes however when the performers come on

They are very much on the wild side like a girl (forgot her name Lady something) chaining a boy to a chair whilst undressing and singing "I Want To Make Love To You" or the foul mouthed Andy Winehouse who spent most of the night accusing all the girls in the audience of being lesbians. Not exactly traditional burlesque and all the better for it.

Lots of people are celebrating their birthday or hen party so the atmosphere is really raucous. Also Peacock is really into putting people on stage and the performers ad libbing which adds to the atmosphere with everyone cheering. It is also really busy

After the shows the place basically turns into a beyond wild 70s 80s 90s dance fest with everyone totally losing it

You will love it or hate it. I loved it but don't bring your mum!

Terrible place!

December 20, 2009

What a joke! I went with a group of 15 friends last night and have never been so disappointed in my life. It was so bad that I am compelled to write a review- something I have never done before. Like many other people said on other websites, we paid in advance for a three course meal but all we were given was our starter! We had to leave at 11:30 as we were too hungry to wait any longer, and we finally wised up to the fact that dinner was never coming, despite the 'managers' repeated promises that it would come 'after the next song'. Do not believe any positive review you read about this place as it is so obvious they are written by the management. Check out reviews on other websites as they all say the same thing- how horrible this place is. Word of mouth is a powerful thing and I have been telling everyone how miserable The Peacock is. It's only a matter of time before this place goes out of business.

Great times at the Peacock

November 29, 2009

My friend recently got engaged so the girls and I planned a hen party for her at he Peacock. From the get-go I felt confident about my decision to do her party at the Peacock. The manager was so helpful and he walked me through everything with such class and style. It was PERFECT! I really liked this place and and all my friends had a wonderful time. Thank you Peacock, your staff is amazing and so are you!

Good times

October 30, 2009

My friend and I had our 25th birthday party at the Peacock bar. After meeting with the manager, we both felt at ease about the party. He could not have been more helpful in setting up the birthday. It was exactly what we were looking for. They roped off an entire portion of the bar at the back for our party. We arrived a little after 10pm, and everything was set up. We provided them with a guest list and none of our friends had any trouble at the door. The music was AMAZING. Our friends and I danced all night and had a GREAT time. So THANK YOU to everyone at Peacock bar who so nice and made our birthdays special. We had a brilliant time as did our friends. PS: The bouncers at the door wished me 'happy birthday' every time I walked in and out and the B52's are a must!

Amazing night!!

October 23, 2009

My boyfriend booked my 25th birthday party at The Peacock about a week ago. I was a little hesitant to have a party here since I've been to this place a few times in the past and the crowds were unbearable. We were able to reserve some space for about 30 of my close friends. It was very convenient for us, since we live nearby and expecting a lot of out-of-town guests. We arrived about 10:30, with a group of about 15 to start. Once we told the doorman we were here for a party, we were quickly let in and made our way to the back. We were quickly greeted by our adorable waitress and she began taking drink orders. Everything about the night was great. There was just enough space for my guests to chat and catch-up. Drinks were never empty. I recommend this place for anyone looking to have a good time with friends in an atmosphere where everyone can socialize and dance if desired.

Wow! Hidden gem in SW London

October 15, 2009

This was my first time planning a party at a night club and I must say I was not disappointed. I held my sister's hen party at the Peacock bar and had an amazing night! It was about 12 ladies in total and had reservations. From the moment we got there, we were escorted in, followed by drinks. Throughout the course of the night, the staff kept checking to make sure we were happy with the service and wanted to make sure we were having a good time. Definitely felt like VIP that night! Kudos to all the staff who helped make this night special. Very efficient and a pleasure to work with! We spoke several times before the event in order to provide me with the necessary info...not to mention, he goes out of his way to make the event memorable for those involved. Music was great lovely ambience and drinks were non stop!!! We definitely got ur party on that saturday night. My guests had a great time and my sister was elated. Thanks Peacock! Definitely a place to revisit.

Great fun for bf's bidrthday

October 10, 2009

I threw my boyfriend a surprise 27th birthday party in early September on a saturday night and I was so pleased with the way everything turned out. I had a larger than expected party (I believe at least 40 people). However, thanks to months of planning and the helpful assistance of the party manager, the night was a success! Prices are very affordable especially if you are buying individual drinks. To be honest, I did have one gripe about the night. The venue was ridiculously packed (that which you cannot help on weekends). I wished that I had more than one waitress for the night but honestly, given the circumstance and the large number of people who showed up, the staff at the Peacock Bar did a great job. Our waitress was a sweetheart and made sure that our party got everything they needed. And since everyone who came out really enjoyed themselves, I was very very happy. I would definitely highly recommend this spot if you want to hang out with a nice sized group of friends. It gets a little difficult if you have a large party, but you can make it happen. Just be prepared to spend some dough if your party is pretty big. I'm definitely coming back because my friends cannot stop talking about all the fun they had. And more importantly, my boyfriend was over the moon!!

Good for birthdays

October 01, 2009

I was in The Peacock on Saturday night to celebrate my birthday with about 30 of my friends. The Manager was extremely accommodating despite booking at the last minute.

I thought the bar staff did a fantastic job, very friendly and extremely efficient considering how many people where there. I don’t think I waited more than a minute to get a drink.

I have heard people say the bar is maybe a bit expensive on the drinks front but I thought the prices where quite reasonable and it was good to see cocktails that you could actually drink rather than 2 sips and your finished.

altogether a very good night and I would recommend it to anyone.

So big thanks to Peacock team.
