Elegant Cocktails. Toe-tapping live jazz. Delicious Portuguese food.
If those words sound like good words to you, then you’ll probably quite like the parties (yes, two) we’re putting on for Nudge Members in a couple of weeks.
They’re both going to take place at The Green Room, the moody speakeasy-style cocktail bar sitting underneath the casually gorgeous Casa do Frango Piccadilly, which is tucked away on a quiet courtyard just off Regent Street. If you’ve not had the pleasure of a meal there, it’s a genuinely lovely Portuguese restaurant that just happens to boast an eminently date-worthy cocktail joint right underneath it. And they’ve just launched a whole new cocktail menu, so this party basically makes for a very good excuse to check out the lush space, take that new menu for a spin, and dance to some vibrant, soulful jazz.
That music will come courtesy of The Sugar Kings. They’ve played venues like Nightjar, Oriole, and Cafe Boheme, and they channel the same kind of hip-swaying energy as The Buena Vista Social Club, with old school Cuban charanga, salsa, cha cha cha, mambo and Afro-Cuban jazz. They’ll be taking over a corner of The Green Room for the evening, with its elegantly arched brick ceiling, plush furnishings, scattered greenery, and a handsomely pinstriped wooden bar, and filling the whole room with the sounds of their lively signature style.
And then of course there are the cocktails themselves. You’ll get two included in your ticket, and they span from a classic Negroni (made here with Ginjinha sour cherry liqueur), to a signatures like the Pomba, which brings together smokey Montelobos mezcal with Aperol, yuzu sake, and grapefruit soda. And you’ll also be able to pluck liberally from the many Portuguese snacks that will be circling too.
After all, this Casa is sua casa.
