Side Hustle

Leo Robitschek's Latin American-inspired programme inside the NoMad London—a converted Victorian magistrates' court on Bow Street—won Best International Hotel Bar at the 2025 Spirited Awards, voted by a panel of 250 industry experts. The agave collection anchors a menu that moves between mezcal-forward compositions and tropical constructions with a precision that belies the bar's casual, warmly lit atmosphere. Robitschek built his reputation at NoMad New York before crossing the Atlantic, and the London edition proves the concept translates without dilution. Side Hustle fills a gap London didn't know it had: a hotel bar that drinks like an independent.
