The Nightjar Description

Hidden along a parade of everyday morning-to-midnight cafés along the City Road, is a doorway like no other.  If curiosity should take you, then step inside.  You will enter the world of The Nightjar. The Nightjar lures London's discerning drinkers, lounge lovers and late night hedonists. This adventurous, independently owned venue serves rare, revived and original cocktails of the highest calibre, and live performances from singers and musicians seduce the audience with ravishing tones. Its intimate mood combines the glamour and charm of an early 20th century European cabaret venue with refined cocktail traditions, from Belle Epoque to the classics of the modern age. Expect some surprising twists.

With no membership and no hype, it is egalitarian and generous in its promise, in the style of a true speakeasy.

“Another brilliant cocktail bar idea to hit Shoreditch. Will this trend never end?! The mixture of Prohibition speakeasy cocktails and live music make this one of my new favourite bars. Not particularly easy to find, but worth it nonetheless.”
