Review: The Bluebird Chelsea



Photobucket We headed out for drinks to The Bluebird Chelsea last Friday for "date night". The Bluebird Chelsea has hosted plenty of Stars like Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling for the European Premiere of The Lucky One and is a popular spot for London's socialites to be seen hanging out. The interior is absolutely gorgeous with high ceilings and skylights- which is awesome in London when the sun goes down so late in Summer. The chairs and tables are different/co-ordinating to give the inside a very modern eclectic feel. There is a gorgeous summer garden outside to enjoy drinks when the weather is peachy. I couldn't stop commenting on how awesome the wallpaper and the menu covers were. The pic above is from the bill-docket (which I definitely kept) and is also what the menu cover looks like and some of the interior wallpapers. Fancy no?

 We ordered some cocktails which were quite pricey but super delicious. It's not really the kind of establishment where you whip out your iPhone to snap pics of your fancy drinks - even although I was really itching to. Anyway decided to share my artistic impression of the drinks we ordered with my little review. Warren started out with a vodka martini. With Olive. James Bond Style. We all know what that looks like, so I'm not drawing it.

Photobucket The first cocktail I had was the Chelsea Flower - one of their speciality drinks, which was recommended by one of the bar-tenders. It was really fresh, slightly fruity/apple taste and quite "florally" if I could describe a drink like that. It was served with a little flower and crushed ice so it makes a delicious summer drink.

Photobucket The next cocktail I had was the Stardust Martini (since I was slightly jealous of Warr and the James-Bondness of his last drink). It had a fruity-pear taste but because of all the gin and absinthe it wasn't an overpowering fruit-smack in the face. It was very yum and gone a bit too quickly...

Photobucket Warr then switched it up and had the Heart of Darkness (which was my choice for him - not because I think he has a Heart of Darkness, but because it had chili in it - so i told him he should try it because he loves spicy things and also - he's just so hot. {lol im hysterical}.) He did love it. It was garnished with apple and chili for an extra zing - You see that red thing in my picture? It's a chili. Chilis don't float. Do you see that white thing underneath it? That's a slither of apple. Apples do float. Chili, floating on apple. Genius.
Photobucket There is also a shop attached to the ground floor of The Bluebird Chelsea - we didn't go in because I think they were closing - which was fortunate/unfortunate depending on how you view your bank balance.  There are also different events on offer at The Bluebird Chelsea such as Moet and Chandon tasting, Pizza making and outdoor film screenings which you can read more about on the website.  

This place is definitely worth a little visit if you feel like being glamourous for a night.
We then hit up the Big Easy Crabshack for some delicious food-nomming.
Date Night: ten points.
