Outstanding cocktails and vibes! Nightjar is a unique piece of Old Street’s nightlife and never fail to impress. I tried their ‘Soul Kiss’ smoky cocktail and was completely blown away by the depths of flavours and contrasts it delivered! The pianist on stage that night also gave a fantastic performance that my family enjoyed dearly. Piece of advice though: book well in advance because this place is popular (for all the right reasons!) Cheers 🍸

Great experience, relaxing music, great atmosphere! drinks are creative and characteristic! Our waiter introduced every drink’s flavour and the story behind it to us, which is very professional.

However, this is our second time try to visit this place with a booking. The first time we try to visit the security at the front door was rude.

Another issue is the drink we ordered served in a duck shaped metal flask. Our curiosity led us to look inside and we discovered rust…

My friends and I had to wait outside for a few minutes. Not very long, but you might want to make reservations so you do not have to wait for a table. The energy was great, there was live music and a lot of people there. The drinks were good as well. A little hard to find the door at first but it is worth it.

Reservations are recommended as walk ins are hard. We came in the early evening on Saturday so there was no live music, so the atmosphere was more chilled. However the bar was freezing (not sure why the AC was cranked even on a chilly October evening). The drinks are good and varied but I won't be rushing back.

Had a great time at nightjar on a Friday evening. Made reservation for jazz night and the band was very good. Cocktails are great as well. Note that Jazz night booking costs about 10 pounds per person and they also add service charge.

Wow, what’s. Place. Cozy, cheerful, well distributed, stellar cocktails and amazing people. Definitely a place to recommend. Every day live music (jazz), normally from 9pm. It can get busy so try to make a reservation. Spent 15£ for a very good cocktail and even got a gift.

One of my favorite speakeasies in London. You need to book, but it’s worth it for the live music from 9-11pm. Drinks are great, albeit pricey. Then again, you’re paying for the vibe. I’d recommend for a date or a group of 3-4 max.

I love this place. It's seriously my favourite cocktail bar in London and probably totally. Service great and it's small and never crowded which for somebody who's never divergent is so important. As a disabled person who does struggle with stairs a bit but only thing is I wish there was a lift. But I do understand it's London and that's just how it is.
