Nightjar Carnaby bar in London is a hidden slice of old-school glamour in the West End. That’s how they describe themselves, and the setting and menu of the place do confirm such a statement. This is the place to come when you want to taste simple and well-done classics. Each month they offer a classic cocktail at special prices, like Cosmopolitans and Whisky Sours. Aside from timeless classics, the bar also works with high-quality brands to create unique cocktails, trolling the flavours and aromas of exceptional whiskeys, brandies, and so on. The place is the perfect example of how quality sometimes lies in tradition as long as it is performed flawlessly.
Here, the menu follows the history of cocktails and drinking culture. Divided into four parts, they explore the best flavours of the pre-prohibition, prohibition, and post-war eras, ending with the Nightjar signatures. Each section stays true to the tastes and aromas most used in cocktails during that time. A voyage through the menu is like a voyage through time.
Fruity flavours from the pre-prohibition era come into play with cocktails like the Bamboo. Lillet Rose, Calambro Finocchietto, Muscat, Amontillado Sherry, and Osmanthus tincture combine to create a unique taste. The rich and robust flavours of the prohibition show in the Toronto — Woodford Reserve Bourbon, coffee, roasted pecan maple syrup, Fernet Branca, and orange blossom.
With darker shades of grey, brown and green, the place reflects the excellence and elegance of classic cocktail art. The environment plays with dim lighting and robust elements. Small rounded tables spread around the room, and a bartop separates guests from a rich selection of spirits and liquors from all over the world. Journey through the rich history of cocktails, learning how they’re changed and adapted with time.
