London’s Shaftesbury has announced the opening of Nightjar in Kingly Court boasting ae 1,755 square ft.

The brand new bar opening brings a new dynamic to Carnaby’s late night scene with live music and experimental cocktails set to be a new spot for all. Music will include a mix of the most popular genres of the 20th century, Jazz, Swing, Blues, Salsa, Afrobeat, Funk and Soul.

Julia Wilkinson, restaurant director at Shaftesbury said: “We are thrilled to announce that the iconic basement speakeasy and jazz club Nightjar is coming to Carnaby.

“The venue, which is steeped in Carnaby musical heritage, will showcase a late-night and live jazz offering to the area, adding a completely new dynamic to the Kingly Court offer. Nightjar also brings a large array of classic cocktails, vintage spirits, and liquors alongside the concept of an exciting new live music destination.

“With something for everyone, we are delighted to introduce existing and new Carnaby customers to the pioneering Nightjar experience.”

Nightjar, the East London speakeasy, has announced it will open its second site in the heart of London’s West End this March.

Nightjar Kingly Court will recreate the low-lit magic of the Old Street original, complete with a range of rare, revived and original cocktails, late-night live music, prohibition-era decor and a menu of vintage spirits and cocktails dating back to the mid-nineteenth century.

Founders Edmund Weil and Roisin Stimpson said: “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to bring everything we’ve learnt over the last decade of Nightjar to such an iconic space in what was once the home of live music in London.

“The city has changed so much in that time, and as we started to emerge from the pandemic, we felt there was an even bigger appetite for what Nightjar has always provided - skilfully created cocktails, live music, and hospitality that culminates in an overall experience that can’t be found elsewhere.”
