The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
Nightjar
London, UK
Hidden behind an unassuming door and down a set of stairs, Nightjar reveals a speakeasy-style bar filled with candlelit tables, an intimate atmosphere, and the sound of jazz and swing. The Shoreditch original from Edmund Weil and Rosie Stimpson serves era-spanning cocktails from pre-Prohibition to future-themed signatures, with live music nightly.
