In a nutshell, this will undoubtedly become a favourite: so does it go with such places that so masterfully combine providing a refined experience and remaining within reach. Not only does Nightjar offer very good cocktails at what I found to be a reasonable price, it does so in a wonderful atmosphere - elegant and intimate yet relatively casual and relaxed. I would strongly recommend booking - we were very lucky and able to walk in, but I understand this was the exception and not the rule.

Hard to get a table without a reservation but waited around outside and the bouncer was kind enough to let us in that was already past mid night. Very hidden gem in the basement. The cocktails was very creative and crafty. Would go back again

Awesome bar! We got 3 or 4 cocktails per person per night. They were delicious. Bartender was really nice and helpful, she guide us through the menu and we just told her what we like, and she made a recommendation for us. Loved the experience and the taste. Each cocktails was pretty different. Some of them had a fancy serving. Enjoyed the experience and definitely recommend the place!

They have an extensive cocktail selection. Some of them are hit and miss, in an attempt to be too creative. They also serve the classical cocktails and those are good. The live music here is highly recommended.

In the heart of London, amidst the labyrinthine streets, we uncovered a hidden gem of libations and merriment - a speakeasy cocktail bar that transported us to an era of bygone elegance. The experience within those clandestine walls was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we crossed the threshold, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of refined indulgence. The cocktails, masterpieces concocted by a skilled mixologist, were nothing less than ambrosial elixirs. Each libation, a symphony of flavors, danced upon our palates with the grace of a royal waltz. However, it was not only the libations that left an indelible impression, but also the presence of a remarkable Asian waiter who graced our table. This paragon of hospitality possessed an innate sense of attentiveness, his service executed with a grace and charm that elevated our evening to regal heights. In this subterranean sanctuary of spirits and flavors, we were not merely patrons; we were esteemed guests in a hidden court of conviviality. Our hearts were warmed by the camaraderie of fellow revelers, and our souls nourished by the exquisite libations. This speakeasy, with its fantastic Asian waiter, has earned its place as a cherished jewel in London's nightlife crown. Verily, in times of yore, the establishment did shine with greater luster.

Lovely drinks 🍸 😋 all the drinks were very tasty and have their own styles. ALSO very well hidden on the alley with a handsome security guy awaited (made me felt like I was in John Wick's movie a little bit 🤭) The drinks are on the expensive sides but sooo wellll crafted, you won't taste the alcohol at all...until when I got home and I stayed up half of the night 🤣🤣 But this is definitely a great date place and opens until 1am!

Great spot for a date night. Came here after dinner nearby to watch the live performance. The singer was great and did some great old songs which I loved. Stayed for a bit longer than we were booked in for and they didn’t bat an eye. Wonderful drinks and ambience.
