Your First Time at The Sugar Cane? Here’s What You Must Try

If it’s your first time stepping into The Sugar Cane, welcome to London’s tropical escape where the cocktails are colourful, the vibes are electric, and every night feels like a mini island holiday.

Whether you’re popping in for a spontaneous date night, a long-overdue catch-up, or a wild birthday bash, we’ve curated the ultimate checklist for first-timers. Here’s what you must try to experience the full magic of our Clapham hideaway.

Sip: The Signature Mai Tai (with a Flaming Twist)

Let’s start where every great night does—at the bar.

The Mai Tai is our signature Tiki cocktail for good reason. Crafted with premium aged rum, fresh lime, orange liqueur and orgeat, it’s sweet, sharp and soul-warming. Order it flaming (yes, literally on fire) for the full showstopper effect.

Not a rum fan? Try the Tropical Caipirinha or Lychee & Passionfruit Martini—they’re firm favourites for a reason.

Snack: The Polynesian Platter

Perfect for sharing, the Polynesian Platter is your gateway to tropical street food with a Sugar Cane twist.

Expect mouth-watering bites like coconut shrimp, sticky ribs, crispy plantain, and satay chicken skewers—all served with homemade sauces and fresh garnishes. It’s the ideal option for when you want a bit of everything.

Pair with your cocktail of choice and let the flavours transport you to a beach bar in Bora Bora.

See: The Fire Dancers & Tiki Show (Weekend Nights)

If you’re visiting on a Friday or Saturday, stay for the entertainment. Our fire dancers, live DJs, and late-night party vibes bring the venue to life after dark.

This isn’t your average London bar. It’s immersive, bold, and unforgettable. You’ll want your phone out—but just for the Insta story. Trust us, you’ll be too busy dancing the rest of the night.

Pose: The Insta-Worthy Decor

From bamboo walls to tropical murals and glowing lanterns, The Sugar Cane was made for the camera.

Must-snap spots:

  • The Tiki Totem Wall
  • Our neon “Escape to Paradise” sign
  • The cocktail bar at golden hour

Book: A VIP Booth or Bottomless Brunch

Want to upgrade your visit? First-timers often return—and next time, we recommend going bottomless.

Our Bottomless Tiki Brunch (every Saturday) includes:

  • Two delicious courses
  • 90 minutes of bottomless tropical cocktails
  • Live DJs and island vibes throughout

Or, if you’re planning a celebration, pre-book a VIP booth and enjoy table service with a bottle of rum, bubbly, or bespoke cocktail package.

Final Tip: Let Go & Have Fun

The Sugar Cane isn’t just about drinks—it’s an experience. From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel like you’ve stepped out of London and onto a lush, faraway island.

So lean in. Try something new. Order the drink that comes in a pineapple. Dance to the beat of the drums. And above all, have fun.
