Nightjar Shoreditch

1. Overall – not the best cocktails but certainly great service and ambiance. Only 2 of the 4 I tried were good that I’d reorder.

   Dizzy sour was good. Nice profile.
   Zombie was the best. Not too strong and well balanced.
   Volcano was a bit average.
   Bird as definitely not worth it. Unless you like really intense and strong whiskey flavours.
   Just cheese and corn in veg snacks to eat. The cheese came with a nice berry jam.
   Corns were average.

   Service was great and ambiance was classy. Nice live music.

2. Excellent service, great atmosphere and the cocktails were amazing. Huge variety and complexity of the menu to keep you busy, boozing and buzzing throughout the evening. Definitely recommend. It’s my third time already and it did not disappoint. Best to pre book a table unless able to wait outside until one becomes available. I did not try any of the bar food though but the cocktail made up for it!

3. Classic speakeasy style bar with good cocktails. The whiskey based cocktail with candy floss was very smooth. The old fashioned was classic. They charge £10pp if you stay past 9pm for the live music which I think is a shame because you go there for the atmosphere and are already paying a premium for the cocktails. However, they do tell you about this and the waiter will come round and let you know prior to 9pm. Nice atmosphere.

4. This place is an absolute hidden gem off the main beat of Shoreditch High Street. Total prohibition vibes as you slink down the stairs from the main entrance and into a dark, sultry and moody setting. We were seated quickly and looked after incredibly attentively by our dedicated waiter Juan, who imparted excellent information about the cocktails we ordered. There was live music – an acoustic guitar solo set, which really enhanced the vibe. Highly recommend!

5. Another must visit if you are a lover of cocktails !

   It’s a hidden bar with a ‘blink and you miss door’, But once you enter it’s a different world – regal interiors, dimly lit, live music and fantastic cocktails

   They don’t have any options for food except basic nuts / crackers / almonds so go prepared

   They also take cover charges which goes to the performing artist and it’s worth every penny. We went on a Tuesday night and it was packed with a great jazz band playing.
