Nightjar Shoreditch celebrates 15th anniversary
East London speakeasy Nightjar Shoreditch is celebrating its 15th anniversary by partnering with Woodford Reserve for a Europe-wide tour of seminars, workshops, and bar takeovers.
A regular feature of The World’s 50 Best Bars list, taking third place in 2012 and second a year later, and now achieving a pin in The Pinnacle Guide, the series will explore what it takes to build and sustain a successful bar business
Edmund Weil and Roisin Stimpson, co-founders of Nightjar, said: "It’s an absolute honour to celebrate 15 years of Nightjar. The world has changed quite a bit in that time, and as a bar, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges. Through it all we’ve grown and now, through this series, we hope not only to celebrate but to share some of the lessons we’ve learned along the way.”
Nightjar and its sister bar, Swift, will travel to Paris for a takeover at Candelaria during Whisky Live Paris, followed by a takeover of Marian Beke’s acclaimed Gibson, ahead of BCB Berlin. Beke will then return to London on 14 October, during London Cocktail Week, to take the helm of Nightjar Shoreditch for one night only.
To conclude the series Weil and the team will head to Athens to join a panel discussion at Athens Bar Show alongside Baba Au Rum founder, Thanos Prunarus. The panel will explore the key to longevity in the hospitality industry.
