What an awful place! Full of plastic pretentious young wannabees who spend more time applying make up in the toilets than in the actual club / bar itself. The staff are moody and aggressive...they stand around staring at everyone (or should I say 'looking down on everyone') disapprovingly. They seem to think the venue is 'exclusive' but I've been to far more prestige clubs and bars than this where the attitude is much more relaxed. It's like a posh try-harder version of Tiger Tiger for young morons trying to spend their weekly trust fund quota. The drinks are overpriced and the drinks menu is limited unless you want a cocktail. But the most ghastly thing about this venue is the customers. It was like a car crash featuring twats who aspire to be Paris Hilton. Don't go there!

I would love to review this place having tried to visit it one Friday night.My friends were in there drinking and I went over to meet them, intrigued as I'd never heard of this bar before.On arrival I was told to wait outside whilst the clipboard girl dealt with a small group of people. When it was my turn I explained that I was joining a group of friends who were already inside and they had left my name on the door. She checked the list but couldn't find me and called the head-doorman who then denied me entry.I explained to him that I was on my own and meeting friends,but was told quite bluntly that I wasn't going in.Even ringing my friends on their mobiles to come out and vouch for me did very little and on questioning, the doorman told me that I wasn't coming in, because the management had distinctly told him not to let people like me inside.I'm not really sure what he meant by this comment, but it is pretty insulting.I go out regularly in London, to many bars, some of them exclusive, and have never had any problem getting in anywhere in my life. I suppose these things have to happen eventually, so I decided to investigate further the experience of being denied entry to a bar and began to question the doorman to find out what it is about me that they don't want in there.He wasn't very forthcoming with his reasons, but then he is hired for his physical stature and not his intellect.I did try to explain to him that by not letting me in he was putting me in the rather embarrassing position of ringing my friends and asking them to leave so we could go elsewhere and drink.He remained stubborn as all ignorant people do when faced with reason and so my loyal clan of ten were forced to walk out of there and we went to the Kingly Club instead, where by the way, we had a lovely evening.At the end of the day I'm not going to beg a place to take my hard-earned cash and especially not a second-rate bar in Haymarket

Such a fun place! Beautifully kitsch in its decor, fab cocktails (Electric Ice Tea is lovely, but rather potent, but certainly a must!!) Friendly staff, friendly clientele. A lovely quirky little place (yes it is small but that's not alwas a bad thing). Very unpretentious for the area - everyone was up on the dance floor and out to have fun - without a total lack of standard, unlike it's neighbour Tiger Tiger. A great place or drinks and fun with the girlies!

The Birdcage Happy Hour, well its more like a Happy Half day; is an indulgent treat.
I went with my girls and a few of the gents from the office and had a a verry pleasurable evening. It was 2 for 1 on cocktails.

I had vodka martinis, one after another, after another.)))

Get there before 7pm, otherwise its hard to get a table.

Reading all the raving reviews on this site makes me wonder I must have gone to a different place. It's yet another tiny venue with generic everything - except, perhaps, the many plastic birdcages in garish colours which are on display at the windows for no meaningful purpose. Worse still, their staff are rather rude and when my friend asked to take a look at the place (she was there for the first time) before paying the entry fee, they gave her really faces. Will never go back again.

I have been a regular visitor ( esp fridays ) of electric bird cage since last yaer and it is fabalous! The deco, the atmosphere , cocktail menu is to die for.... I think the door staff do need to up there game, and allow more crowd to come in as the night ends early if not many inetersting people around! Love the music and service that you get from all staff, definately recommend a visit. You will not be dissaponited... Keep up the good work, finally i have a desent place to go to in london !!!! Mini me

Went to Electric Birdcage last night..... asbolutely loved it! Decor was fantastic and really different, food was good if you went for the stir fry/curry etc (I had noodles which were 3 pounds) rather than the dim sum which was a bit pricey for what you got! Music was great & the cocktails were funky! Was really quiet when we first got there but livened up later in the night.... Really good atmosphere and would definitely go back & recommend to others! Only negative was that the waitresses insisted on serving your drinks to your table and then charged a service charge for this! Cheek!

Combine Sketch, Nobu, and Demin. That will give you an idea of what Electric Birdcage is like. It gives you all that's needed for a perfect night. Good drinks, wicked music- even the front room playing the oldies and commercial hits is pure nistalgia, affordable food, and uber polite staff. Loves it!
