The Parlour at Sketch

The Parlour at Sketch är en bar och café på 9 Conduit St, Mayfair i London.

Immediately to your right as you step into the 18th-century townhouse that's home to the wonderfully eclectic Sketch concept, you'll find The Parlour, a café bursting with colour by day and a neon-tinged cocktail bar by night.

Arguably the most casual of Sketch's various areas, but no less strikingly decorated, The Parlour is as much a testament to the vibrant creative philosophy driving Sketch as the building's other spaces. The café and bar is furnished in bold patterned wallpaper and upholstery, with quirky flourishes like ballerina-legged tables, a glittering disco ball, and glowing neon signs. The decor creates a vibey setting whether you're there for a coffee and a pastry in the morning or swaying to DJ beats with an expertly mixed cocktail in hand late at night.

The daytime menu at The Parlour features an assortment of breakfast signatures such as French toast or galettes, accompanied by freshly baked Viennoiserie and delicately crafted cakes and patisserie, and served with hot and cold speciality drinks, including iced matcha and smoothies. At lunchtime, you can dine on generously filled sandwiches or choose from a concise selection of timeless favourites like fish and chips or beef tartare, with house cocktails, wines, and other drinks to go along.
