London, United Kingdom

Nightjar's globe-trotting sister bar, now at 7-9 Slingsby Place in Covent Garden's St Martin's Courtyard after leaving its original Smithfield home. The venue splits into the ground-floor Bamboo Bar and Terrace and a downstairs restaurant, with food drawing on Nikkei, Argentine-Italian and regional Mexican traditions and cocktails built from ingredients gathered worldwide, the Bamboo list runs from the Campania Spritz to La Culebra. Live jazz, blues and world music play Tuesday to Saturday, with the cover charge going to the musicians.
