So strictly speaking, I have been to Callooh Callay before. But let's just say that my recollection of that occasion is somewhat... Fussy.
There have however never been any doubt in my mind that I would love the place. It's named after a paragraph in Jabberwocky - the most nonsensical and wonderful poem ever written. That along with the fact that it's known and given awards for having some of the best cocktails in London and the fact that they have another secret bar in a cupboard will surely make this an amazing place?
Following our dinner at Penkul & Banks, coincidentally run by the same team as Callooh Callay, I did suggest to Miss Bubbles that we'd head home to leave her fresh for the hen do the following day. That suggestion was met with a look that can be described as both highly sceptical and lightly disgusted. She was after all my partner in crime the night before the only day I've called in sick from work due to party related exhaustion. Going home at 10.30 was clearly not an option.
So off to Callooh Callay we went and it was everything I wanted it to be. Firstly, the cocktails were amazing. I made my way through Mariposas, Kilner Me Softlies and Little Miss Sunshines and not once did I feel the urge to just go and order a Mojito. Combined with a full on Alice in Wonderland and Narnia inspired interior, I absolutely loved it! Even the cocktail menus were amazing!
I'll make sure not to forget having been there this time!
