For one week only, London is getting its very own owl bar.

Between March 19 and 25, Londoners will be able to enjoy cocktails mixed by some of London’s finest mixologists, and hang out with a group of feathered friends.

The bar is only open in the twilight hours – between 8.30pm and 2am every night – because y’know, these guys are generally nocturnal.


The star of the show is Annie the owl (who lends the pop-up her name) but you can also meet the rest of the owl pack, made up of Darwin (the caring one), Ruby (the exotic one), Cinders (the cheeky one), Winston (the wise one. Err, aren’t they all?), and Hootie (the beauty queen).

Due to exceptionally high demand for tickets (because owls), a ballot system is being operated.



The £20 entry charge (all profits from which will go to The Barn Owl Centre to help with conservation), includes two cocktails and two hours in the company of owls.

Enter the ballot here and you’ll find out if you’ve got your tickets after March 16. Then, you can choose the date and time you want to meet Annie and friends.

And don’t worry. All the owls are professionals – as are the falconers who accompany them.
