This was my second time visiting a speakeasy and it was incredible! The atmosphere was perfect and the waiters were very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The menu is wonderfully designed and kind of acts like a guide to finding the ...
We had such lovely evening at Nightjar last night with amazing friendly service. They knew it was our anniversary so was kind enough to give us a drink each on arrival and a complimentary pack of their playing cards. The cocktails were all so unique and expertly made, at typical London prices. We can’t comment too much on the food as only had olives and pretzels - both of which were great. The band themselves were great, playing a mix of Jazz songs and it added to the lovely ambience. Can’t wait to visit again already and would definitely recommend for those looking for great music and drinks in London.
Nightjar is an absolute gem! I’ve visited twice, and each time has been an unforgettable experience. The live jazz music is excellent and the cocktails are truly remarkable — not only do they taste incredible, but their presentation is like art. The ambience is the real star: stepping into Nightjar feels like being transported straight to the 1920s, with its enchanting, vintage vibe. It’s the perfect spot for a magical evening!
Wonderful place, came with my girlfriend and the cocktails were amazing, our server Lizzie, if i remember her name correctly, was really sweet and very knowledgable on the drinks. Incredibly professional service will absolutely be returning, amazing atmosphere. Theo and Lily x
Service was great, the waiter was very sweet and helpful with ordering. Drinks were gorgeous (which is good, considering the price!) and very delicious
Amazing selection of exciting cocktails that look cool and taste good. We were tempted to stay until we'd had one of each. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and gave great recommendations. The cocktails were all around 16 which isn't cheap but it was very reasonable considering the quality, service and atmosphere.
I’ve had friends come from overseas and took them here which they thought was great and bette than Ronnie Scott’s. They have amazing cocktails, nice staff and a good band. It can get loud near the front so a table at the back is best and I don’t love the bespoke cards they give you which have their musicians, singers or cocktails on. A great reminder and gift from the place. Drinks are about 15 each and a 10 music cover charge. I’ve not tried the food so can’t comment on that
Subterranean cocktail bar, in Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street. Waiting staff were knowledgeable and helped us choose cocktails, based on our preferences and taste Advance booking is essential, if you want to ensure you get a table. A wide and eclectic range of cocktails, many of which I’d never tried or experienced previously, in any other bar. Well worth a visit
