scene from Las Vegas to London” and
with all-time favourites such as Breakfast
Martini and Spicy Fifty and champagne
cocktails such as Bunny Bubbles and
Playboy Fizz on the menu at The Tale
Bar, it was no wonder the first Playboy
Clubs were so successful. When Playboy
Club London opened on 1st July 1966, a
score of celebrities including Julie Christie, Ringo Starr, Michael Caine and Hugh
O’Brian were seen at the club. Among
other guests, they probably would have
enjoyed alcoholic beverages such as
champagne, prosecco and white wine
and as Oscar Wilde once said, “Pleasure
"Life needs to be lived with a
little style" –Hugh Hefner
without Champagne is purely artificial.”
Interestedly, American television and
film actress Kathryn Leigh Scott was
once a Playboy Bunny, who said, “What
every Bunny really wanted was a black
suit. They were considered the most
elegant.”
Also on the menu at The Tale Bar, you’ll
find other varieties of wine, beers,
bottle service, cognac, Armagnac, calvados, scotch whiskies and spirits.
However, it’s not all just drinks at The
Tale Bar; they also serve bar snacks
such as Beef Disco Fries: slow braised
chipotle beef, spicy pickles, sour cream
and pickled jalapeños; Buttermilk Fried
Chicken served with ranch dressing;
and Playboy Burger, their famous house
burger served with skinny French fries.
If you want something more adventurous than bar snacks, you can indulge in
The Tale Bar’s signature afternoon tea
selection with a twist entitled Teapot
Cocktail Afternoon Tea, a mouth-watering selection of homemade savouries,
sandwiches and pastries to accompany your choice of Te’Freddo Teapot
Cocktail.
The choice of Te’Freddo Teapot Cocktails include: Once Upon A Time which
consists of Mint and Chocolate Rooibos
Tea with Martell Cognac, Vermouth
Bianco, mint syrup and lemon juice;
Read My Lips consists of Jasmine Chai
Tea with Ceylon Arrack, Kumquat
Liqueur, lemon juice, sugar syrup and
lemongrass; Bitter Twisted is Mulled
Wine Spice Tea with Ketel One Vodka,
red wine, Grappa, lemon juice, honey
and Pimento Bitter; and Cliff Hanger is
made up of Earl Grey with Chivas Regal
12 Year Old Scotch Whisky, Apricot
Brandy, lemon and orange juice and
pumpkin syrup. The Playboy-style Afternoon Tea is available from Monday to
Thursday between 4pm and 7pm and is
the perfect pre-theatre treat or starting
point for your evening.
From the first Playboy Club opening
in Chicago to landing in London and
around the world, The Tale Bar is the
latest innovation to continue the tale of
the Playboy Club heritage.
