'The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age' Experience in London

For my birthday earlier this month, I was taken to see "The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age" experience in London, which was like a theatre production but immersive. We had the expensive seats with a three course meal seated at tables. We were transported back to Manhattan in the 1930s on the opening night of Belle Livingstone's 58th Street Country Club, which is a speakeasy (selling prohibited alcohol and playing live jazz music).

Upon entering the venue, we were transported into various 1930s imagery and icons.

As we had the special package, we received a class of bubbly when we sat down. We also had popcorn at the tables to enjoy.

In keeping with the speakeasy theme, I ordered a couple of cocktails. I ordered Arizona Kid, which was a cocktail with a kick of spice and delicious. I also had the Country Club Special, but it wasn't my favourite.

I was quite hungry on arrival, so we ordered a cheese board while we were waiting. 

We watched the entertainment unfold as our starter, main, and desserts were brought out. We listened to live jazz music.

The starters came out. I had the vegan option, which was asparagus with cream cheese salad dressing. They also had smoked salmon with flatbread and a salad. 

The mains were brought out, and this included macaroni cheese (this included a shrimp option for non-vegatarians) and Astoria Waldorf Salad, which is salad with apple and grapes with nuts and celery and lettuce. For meat eaters, they had BBQ chicken and pulled beef. I had the vegan/vegetarian option, which was aubergine parmagiana and a mushroom. This is one of my favourite dishes and was very tasty. I also had the vegetarian macaroni cheese.

For dessert, there was the roast cinnamon apple pie with pecan crumble and Bourbon caramel with ice cream. There was also a vegan option of coconut and dark chocolate cremeux with chocolate sorbet. The apple crumbe was also delicious.

I drizzled the warm caramel sauce over the crumble and ice cream.

Overall, we had a nice dinner and enjoyed the music and entertainment. The dinner was very tasty. The entertainment mainly included jazz music with dancing, and there were a few jokes and audience interactions too.
