Coral Room menu warns guests to ‘gird your loins’
London bar The Coral Room is celebrating the cinematic release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 with a lineup of cocktails designed for pre- and post-theatre indulgence.
Following the success of the Bloomsbury-based bar’s themed afternoon tea, which launched alongside the debut of The Devil Wears Prada musical on the West End, the new cocktail menu has been crafted for those looking to enjoy a drink before or after attending the show or watching the sequel at one of the cinemas in nearby Leicester Square.
Due to the bar’s proximity to The Dominion Theatre where the show is currently performed, The Coral Room is said to offer the perfect place to ‘sip something glamorous’ before the lights go down, or to ‘linger a little longer’ once the final scene has played out.
The cocktails draw on the first film’s most iconic moments, blending playful nostalgia with polished execution.
The Runway Royale, made with Mijenta Tequila Reposado, Galliano, vanilla liqueur, Nonino Botanical, Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve, and finished with a single Maraschino cherry, arrives with ‘all the confidence of a front-row moment’, while Cerulean, named in homage to Miranda Priestly’s famous monologue in the first film, is made with Silent Pool Gin, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, butterfly pea tea and Mancino vermouth bianco.
The drinks list also features a serve inspired by the protagonist herself.
The Miranda Club is a slightly sharper version of a classic Clover Club, made with X Muse Vodka, Hedgerow Berry & Rose Shrub, Cocchi Extra Dry Vermouth, fresh raspberries and lemon juice. The serve is also offered alcohol-free with the substitution of X Muse for Rebels 0.0% Rosso.
The cocktails are accompanied by a snack menu that has been crafted for sharing: The Run Away Red Carpet pairs roasted red pepper hummus with radish and crackers, and Nate’s signature ‘Grilled cheese with Jarlsberg’ also features alongside the ‘That’s All Steak Skewers’, which are made with grilled wagyu beef and served with a chimichurri dip.
The menu is expected to run until at least the end of October 2026, when the musical is currently scheduled to close on the West End.
