It's no secret that Idris Elba is a man of many talents. From acting and producing to DJing and even kickboxing, this national treasure has shown that he is no one-trick pony. And if you thought that he couldn't impress any further, then you were wrong – now he’s turning his hand to the drinks industry, opening up cocktail bar The Parrot with co-founding twin brothers Lee and Nicky Caulfield.

The 60-seater cocktail den can be found at the Waldorf Hilton in Covent Garden. In addition to its 'hidden cocktail menu' (although undisclosed, guests can expect drinks to share a tropical theme), small plates cooked up by The Waldorf’s resident Executive Chef Karl Richardson will be served.


And as if that wasn't enough for a great night out, there will also be regular music nights featuring live bands and West End performers, as well as a series of mysterious ‘A-List surprises’. As is usually the way with celebrity-owned bars, The Parrot is an exclusive spot that is expected to host some famous faces. However if you do manage to get on the guest list, then you can request to be picked up by the bar’s own chauffeur-driven car if you want to arrive in true luxury.

If you want a taste of a celebrity lifestyle with a hint of red-carpet glamour and a dash of tropical fun, then The Parrot should be on your list of must-visit bars.
