Best brunches in London: 7 quirky bottomless spots for the ultimate boozy breakfast
Updated 18 hours ago
4 min read
Brunch is always a good idea, but if you’re looking for something a bit different, try one of these quirky bottomless brunches around the capital.
There’s no better way to start a Saturday or Sunday than brunch with your besties. Sipping mimosas and gorging on eggs, pancakes and more while we put the world to rights? Yes, please.
For a livelier affair, you have to go bottomless – with the prosecco, that is. Nothing ensures your weekend gets off to a flying start quite like an hour and a half of quaffing as much prosecco as you like – and extra points if the food is free-flowing, too (like at these bottomless restaurants).
However, if you’re growing tired of the same old bottomless brunch experience or you’ve got a special event coming up that needs celebrating, then you’re in luck: quirky and themed bottomless brunches are plentiful in London.
It’s not every day you get to sing along to your favourite Abba songs while downing bellinis, enjoy a riotous drag show while you tuck into a fruit parfait or attend a hoedown on a Saturday afternoon in London and call it brunch.
What we’re saying is that there are plenty of alternative brunches out there that go beyond the traditional ones we’re used to. If you’re looking to amp up your brunch experience this weekend, we’ve curated a list of the best ones in London for a fully immersive and entirely enjoyable experience.
The Escapologist Mamma Mia bottomless brunch
Fancy belting our your favourite Abba tunes while you tuck into delicious brunch dishes and bottomless cocktails, prosecco and beer? Of course you do! Every weekend at The Escapologist you’ll find the place taken over by two West End singers who will take the crowd through all the hits of their favourite musical. As for the food, think buttermilk chicken burgers and cajun-spiced sweet potato and halloumi burgers. Yum.
Dabbers Social Bingo all-day brunch
Grab your dabber and head to Dabbers Social Bingo for brunch with a fun bingo twist. While you enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited fizz, a delicious brunch dish of your choice and a boozy jelly shot – because why not – the bingo showdown will begin. With sassy hosts at the helm, you’ll have to concentrate if you want to be in with a chance of shouting ‘Bingo!’
Hip Hop Brunch
The original Hip Hop Brunch hasn’t won 12 awards for no reason. From the moment the doors open, the rum punch is free-flowing for a full hour, after which you’ll be treated to a two-course meal while the party atmosphere continues with a team of MCs, magicians and hosts. Of course, the music is strictly hip-hop and R&B bangers, with some UK garage, dancehall and Afrobeats thrown in for good measure, so once you’ve finished eating it’s time to get on the dance floor (and the mic if you fancy some karaoke).
Flight Club brunch social
With locations all over London and the UK, Flight Club is the place to find your inner Luke Littler. But did you know you can brunch here, too? Each two-hour brunch session sees you spend the first hour perfecting your darts game and the second hour in the bar. Even better, each person in your group gets their choice of either a bottle of prosecco or four bottles of beer, plus bottomless pizza will keep appearing until you can take no more.
Tequila Mockingbird bottomless brunch
Grab your rhinestones and cowboy boots, we’re off to a hoedown! Every Saturday, the Covent Garden outpost of cocktail bar Tequila Mockingbird turns into a boot-scootin’ party, and we can’t think of a better way to spend two hours. With burlesque and drag hosts to keep the energy as high as their high kicks, there’s line dancing, bingo and of course plenty of chances to sing along to your favourite country classics. All the while, the prosecco, beer, cocktails and mocktails are free-flowing – as is the pizza to soak it all up.
Sounds Familiar music quiz brunch
Who doesn’t love a quiz? The clever people at Sounds Familiar have combined two great things – brunching and quizzing – for the ultimate experience. Taking place at venues across London, the music-based quiz adds a competitive element to your usual weekend brunch. With rounds on chart classics, indie bangers, power ballads and more, from the 60s to the present day, everyone will be able to have a go. Failing that, just enjoy the bottomless drinks, instead.
Mrs Riot bottomless drag brunch
Malibu has joined forces with cocktail bar Mrs Riot in Covent Garden to bring us the ultimate bottomless drag brunch. With legendary drag diva Margo Marshall in charge, and guest drag queens, kings and the finest burlesque performers also in attendance, get ready for a riotous afternoon. Fulled by unlimited pornstar martinis, rum punch and mimosas – plus cupcakes – this is one for the huns.
