Nightjar Shoreditch

A discreet venue nestled between two cafes in Shoreditch and with a Soho sister venue, the Nightjar bar is one of London's best 1920s themed bars and a fantastic alternative to flashy nightclubs and busy bars. The 1920s New York inspired setting is a cosy and stylish retreat for drinkers to relax and catch up over delicious tin cup cocktails, a tasty selection of nibbles and romantic candlelit tables. As well as a magical atmosphere, the Nightjar's other specialty is the live music. 

Hoxley and Porter

Stepping into Hoxley and Porter is like stepping back in time... via a luxury train carriage. With tropical plants, printed wallpaper and a mixture of wicker and leather seats Hoxley and Porter has a touch of the exotic about it. Decadent and evoking 1920's glamour, Hoxley and Porter serve modern British food made with fresh ingredients alongside an eccentric drinks list using unusual and exotic ingredients such as grapefruit and chilli. 

Camden Basement Cocktail Bar

You'll get a true 1920s experience at Camden Basement Cocktail Bar, a speakeasy-inspired spot where you can bring along a bottle of your favourite spirit for the talented mixologists to create five bespoke cocktails from across a two-hour session. Sit back in gold and green surrounds at one of their themed areas, named after figures like Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Louis Armstrong, and Pauline Sabin, with tasty small plates up for grabs too.

The Luggage Room

Discover the lavish vintage cocktail bar that is the Luggage Room; a converted luggage room at the grand five star hotel, The London Marriott in Mayfair. This hidden treasure is effortlessly stylish and is a real competitor for the title as one of London's most glamorous 1920s-inspired cocktail bars. Guests will be greeted with a visually stunning display of fine liquor, handmade wine cabinets, marble decor and period pieces, as well as the eye catching huge block of ice carved for each individual drink.
