Burlesque Venue London?

[andyb28]

My wife and I both turn 50 this year. My wife loves Burlesque (I agree it has it's good points). I am looking to book an evening of dinner and burlesque for us and a few friends.

We have been to a few places in London previously, Proud and Cafe de Paris. But we haven't been for years now. I was planning to book a table for dinner and the show at Cafe de Paris, only to find it closed down during the pandemic. Her birthday is in August and I so I need to book something soon.

In my opinion Cafe de Paris, was a lot better than Proud cabaret. So, I am now looking for another venue and just wondered if anyone had had any experiences / recommendations?

Many thanks
Andy

So - not burlesque... And not been there... So this could be a non-starter BUT as no-one has put anything forward yet I walked past the Windmill in Soho at the weekend and was surprised (in a good way) at the menu they had posted outside.

It used to be a strip joint but upon Googling when I got home it looks like it got refitted and launched as a cabaret type place with a nice looking menu end of last year: https://thewindmillsoho.com/

Google reviews seem ok too!

This is about as good as it gets but you’d have to eat elsewhere

Circus Bar in Covent Garden is fun.

Wow, looks great, albeit that art deco font is awful to read!! https://www.ginhouseburlesque.com/about-us

Sorry I can't help you in your search, but it is funny seeing this today in reference to burlesque, as I was watching the show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" last night and in the episode, one of Larry's friends is dating a burlesque dancer. Very funny episode and recommend it.
