1. Salvador & Amanda – Covent Garden
A dinner with your closest friends is just as a good idea as any other, especially if you love Spanish cuisine. We recommend this authentic Spanish restaurant, with a lively Latin atmosphere. With a variety of tapas and a cocktail bar, this is the perfect 18th birthday party venue for a celebration dinner. The venue can easily rope off sections exclusively for you and your guests. And, if you happen to celebrate on a Wednesday or Thursday, you’ll get the added bonus of their Flamenco dancers kicking the party off with Spanish traditional dance.
2. Polpo restaurants – Various locations
If Italian cuisine is more your style, then dinner and drinks at Polpo is an ideal 18th birthday party idea. This bacàro serves delicious smaller plates designed to be shared amongst a group of people (perfect for a party). We recommend their speciality Italian wine to complement the Italian dishes. And, if wine is not your thing, they also offer a selection of Italian cocktails. We make it Aperol Spritz o’clock! You can hire a whole restaurant for exclusive hire or select sections of the restaurant for a more intimate occasion.
3. Tiger Tiger – Piccadilly
This club is a staple in the London nightlife scene and one of the best 18th birthday party venues in London. Tiger Tiger holds 6 rooms with 6 different themes, from classic 90s hits in the Decadia room to R&B hits in the LUXE bar. So, whether you’re in the mood to sing along to some classic tunes or bust a move to R&B music, you are bound to find something at Tiger Tiger!
4. Mahiki – Kensington and Mayfair
With a Polynesian themed atmosphere and design, this restaurant calls for an unforgettable night out. Indulge in their Pan-Asian menu and sip on their signature fruit cocktails to kick the night off. By 11 pm, this Polynesian paradise turns into an ultimate exotic evening destination. Dance the night away in the main club with the Spirit of Tiki in mind, or hire a private room for up to 25 people!
5. Core – Bank
This 50s-themed space will have you celebrating at the bar or in booths, surrounded by neon lights. The quirky bar serves wallet-friendly food, plus a wide range of cocktails and craft beer. Head out for some drinks by the bar, dance in the club or hire a private space – whatever you want! Want to enjoy the cocktails at home too? Core offers cocktail masterclasses, ideal for groups.
