Highlights this Weekend
On Friday July 30th we present "Oh What A Lovely Recession" (8pm-2.30am) with the fabulous "Miss Kitty" and our very own Sinatra "Mark Vermouth" performing on stage with DJ Paul Knight manning the decks. Ours hosts will be dishing out free sambucca and tequila shots (party bookings of over 15 can opt for a complimentary bottle of champagne instead too!)
Miss Kitty perofrming her new character "Marilyn Minelli" exclusively at the Peacock. Our little blonde bombshell starts off all Marilyn Monroe like perofming songs like "I Just Want To Be Loved By You" and "Happy Birthday Mr President" and after the break she returns as Lisa Minelli and starts singing hits from Cabaret. Oh Wow!
"Mark Vermouth" aka comes to us straight from performing as Dean Martin in The Rat Pack -Viva Las Vegas internationally so you are lucky lucky lucky people. Our Mark - just loves one thing more than a drink or two and that is a lady or two . So don't be surprised when he walks into the crowd and comes back with a beautiful lady (or two) to sing a love song too. Top notch singing, patter and improv from cabaret's self proclaimed "Dean Martin To The Stars"
After the shows from 10.30ish its disco and dancing with our very own Eastenders celebrity DJ Dave DiskoJuice spinning 80s, 90s with a bit of Ibiza tinged disco and house until beach buggies at 2.30am. All aided by tacky original 70s/ 80s visuals and rubbish cheapo lighting for that real School Disco feel
Entry Complimentary all night (guest list for guaranteed entry) - book your guest list or reserved area online from our Bookings Page. But do come early as the shows commence at 9pm on the dot and our prima donnas don't like to be kept waiting! DJs and dancing after from 10.30pm ish till carriages at 2.30am. Early (pre 9pm) and late (post 10.45 pm) reserved areas available.. Ours hosts will be dishing out free sambucca and tequila shots (party bookings of over 15 can opt for a complimentary bottle of champagne instead too just let us know!)
On Saturday July 30th we present It's a Party (8pm-2.30am) with "Lord Gaga" and our very own Sinatra "David Martini" performing on stage with DJ West Coast Matt manning the decks. Plus expect some unscheduled surprises at 8.30pm and 12am
Lord Gaga - (that's Lady Ga Ga's twin not a lot of people know that) complete with silly costumes , funny haircut and err hairy chest. When she's not banging out the hits she's regaling the crowd with a running commentary on her life and eeer you guessed it it's a bit kooky and ........ But her kooiness won't stop her from trying to chat up you or your boyfriend or inviting herself for a threesome for that matter! Hilarious and great songs too.
"David Martini" comes to us straight from performing in The Rat Pack as our very own Dean Martin absolutely oozing charm & sophistication. In fact this guy is so cool he is practically comatose. Except for one thing ........ ....he does so so love the ladies. On Sundays he is promising us a longer and more restrained set than his normal Saturday blockbuster. But don't be surprised when he walks into the crowd and comes back with a beautiful lady to sing a love song too.
After the shows from 10.30ish its disco and dancing with our very own celebrity DJ West Coast Matt (well actually he is from Clapham and his mid Atlantic accent is just to impress the girls - sort of Mark Ronson like!) spinning 80s, 90s with a bit of Ibiza tinged disco and house until beach buggies at 2.30am. All aided by tacky original 70s/ 80s visuals and rubbish cheapo lighting for that real School Disco feel

Cocktail Lessons,Cocktail Classes, Cocktail Making for Hen party, Birthday party, Stag party and Corporate Events
Cocktail Making Class / Lessons sound too much like hard work - not the way we do it! What we have done is injected a bit of burlesque, cabaret, theatre and inter activity to make an entirely new kind of cocktail lesson specially designed for party groups! We put you behind the bar and we show you how to make cocktails (no charge for this just the cost of the cocktails @ £4 each) for your friends who then proceed to drink them. We also teach you juggling (subject to your coordination and sobriety) as well as various flirting techniques and tricks. This includes the infamous "I will make you something special" hip wiggle raised eyebrow and hair flick. Check out our photo gallery and new PeacockBar YouTube Video Channel
And to cap it all off we and your friends score you with special cards we give you with comments ranging from "null points" to "you are a sexy beast who makes a mean cocktail" with a lot in between.
Check our our new team building and corporate event cocktail making classes based around the Apprentice (see our Cocktail Lessons Page)

The styling
The Peacock is as effortlessly stylish as it is comfortable paying homage to a mishmash of styles from Rococo onwards.
Think Ercol 1950s table nests perched next to Georgian chaise longues with 50's Scandinavian modular sofas around a 60's G Plan Hi -Fi console. As you enter the bar there is huge Golden peacock to greet you and a Victorian pulpit at the back of the bar for our Djs to preach from.
All this set in a Victorian drawing room with a Chesterfield fronted horseshoe bar. Maybe it should not work but it just does!
The Peacock changes with the seasons too beginning the week as a comfortable and relaxing bar before turning into a full on club late night Friday and Saturdays.
See for yourself on the Gallery page
The bar
At The Peacock we have a drinks selection to die for. As well as those so-boring standard beers & spirits we boast London's widest range of Belgian beers and Belgian fruit beers in London on tap and in bottles with over 25 different flavours. Classics such as the draught Strawberry Fruli Beer are complemented by more exotic flavours from banana through mango to strawberry. We have all the best pickings from the best Belgian breweries including Fruli, Chimay, Liefmanns, Timmermans, De Trock, Lindermans Belgian beer and Belgian fruit beer fans come on down and taste for yourself!
On the spirits side we have an exclusive range of Monastic Meads brewed by monks in Suffolk - the choice of Kings since William the Conqueror but now available to non Royalty too! We also stock the full range of Geneva flavoured Gins - all thirty of them!
On a more modern tip we boast a world class cocktail and wine list designed by master mixologists Emiliano Casciello of Oxo Tower and Atlantic Bar & Grill fame, including his signature Taj Mahal - a Cosmopolitan with an Eastern Twist. He's aided by our hand chosen team of mixologists picked for their bubbling friendly outgoing personalities as well as great mixing skills.
However our resting thespian mixologists do like to flirt with the girls so don't be surprised when your order a cocktail if they say "Noooo isss toooo borrring I make you somethinnng speciallllll" with a little wiggle or two or three of their hips. Well we are a burlesque club after all - what do you expect?
At last Battersea and Clapham have a cocktail bar with real panache and style which doesn't take itself too seriously! We are more High Society than Lost Society (meeeeooow)
See our Food and Drinks pages for more details.
