Nightjar in Shoreditch is conceived as an antidote to overcrowded West End bars and flashy nightclubs. As a destination for discerning drinkers to meet, linger and relax, Nightjar entices with quality cocktails, attentive personal service and a vibrant and varied live music programme. This is the ultimate speakeasy bar of London - descend the stairs and be prepared to be enchanted by a 1920's scene of candlelit tables, glorious tin cup cocktails, where jazz and swing bands will soundtrack your evening. It is seating only at Nightjar, so make a booking and soak up the magical atmosphere of this jazz and cocktail heaven. There is no other bar in London, let alone Shoreditch, like this.
COCKTAIL DELIVERY AVAILABLE!
Please visit our new website Speakeasy At Home for all your favourite cocktails from Nightjar, Oriole and Swift!
DECEMBER RE-OPENING
From December the 2nd we will be open Wednesdays to Sundays, from 5pm to 10pm, with an early 3pm opening on Saturdays. We currently take bookings 30 days in advance. We now require a deposit and a minimum spend on all bookings. The 10pm curfew has also meant that we currently have to limit most bookings to a maximum 2 hour duration. It is imperative that we do this to ensure it is viable for us to remain open under the curfew. We apologise if your booking will now be shorter than you would like. On the flip side, this means that every guest will be present for at least one set of live music.
Please note: when not seated at your table, you must wear a mask at all times in the venue.
We are also now a cashless venue.
LIVE MUSIC BOOKINGS
A minimum spend applies of £20 per person for all Live Music Bookings (£30 on Fri/Sat). This will be taken as a deposit in order to confirm the reservation. Cover charges apply. You can find our Music Listings here.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Please let us know before 1pm on the day of your booking if you wish to cancel your table or alter the number of guests booked. After this time, your deposit is non refundable for Live Music & Late Night Bookings. If you are running late, please do let us know via email (info@barnightjar.com). We usually only hold tables for 15 minutes.
FOOD
We'd like to remind you that ordering a "substantial meal" is also compulsory with all bookings under current guidelines. Our new menu will be updated here soon.

Stepping out from Old Street station can be a pretty daunting endeavour. Once you finally work out which of the gazillion exits to emerge from, you’re thrown into a tangle of roads, flashing signs and left with almost no idea what to do with yourself. But if you’re willing to brave the maze thenjust…
