Mrs Riot

Vibrant Venue with Drag Bingo Extravaganza

On my recent journey into the heart of Covent Garden, Mrs. Riot unveiled itself as an electrifying tapestry woven with strands of vibrant whimsy and unorthodox charm. The milieu of this gastronomic theatre is anything but mundane, with decor that boldly struts the line between the delightful and the peculiar—zebras dance along the walls and the furniture just shy of winking at you, creating a stage fit for its vivacious performers. As if by cue, friendly greetings from the defacto stars of the venue, namely staffers like the amiable Toby and flamboyant Lucinda Behind, further enliven the atmosphere. This narrative echoing from visiting patrons is proof positive of their hospitality; it exudes a sincere warmth that feels akin to being wrapped in laughter-filled camaraderie.

An evening at Mrs. Riot isn’t just dining—it’s an adventure. The Drag Brunch almost sings, unfurling lively kaleidoscopes bolstered by crockery and sharp notes of merriment. With cocktails that are both potent and imaginatively conceived, albeit at times eye-wateringly pricey—especially outside of happy hours—the libations themselves form a crucial strand in the fabric of this experience. Amid all the festivity, there exists a pocket of imperfections with intermittent hiccups in food quality and service timing gathering whispers of dissent. Yet, it’s the sum of vibrancy and vivacity that overwhelms one's senses at this haunt, leaving you cheerfully disoriented and earnestly keen for another joyous tumble down Mrs. Riot’s rabbit hole. — Nigel Gourmet
