Nipperkin

Description

Hidden beneath NIJŪ in Mayfair, Nipperkin is a snug, low‑lit lounge where the space revolves around a single central counter. Warm woods, rich upholstery and carefully curated shelves of bottles, books and vinyl give it the feel of a modern take on the speakeasy-feel of 1950s Japanese listening bars; the “liquid library” of house ingredients and the island station keep the bartenders in arm’s‑reach for intimate, engaging service.

The bar’s calling card is a micro‑seasonal cocktail program that moves through four distinct phases, pairing hyper‑local British produce with Japanese spirits and sake in innovative ways. Drinks are devised by award‑winning bartender Angelos Bafas, with a menu that prizes precision, sustainability and surprising depth; expect deft extractions, foraged notes and a supporting cast of Japanese‑leaning snacks from the NIJŪ kitchen. You’ll also find British‑brewed sakes and even house mead, underscoring the team’s “close to home” ethos.

Accolades include Two PINs from The Pinnacle Guide and a place among the UK’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars, cementing Nipperkin’s reputation.
