The other day I was wondering if I go out for cocktails too often? And then I had a good laugh: Bwahahahahah. Shortly after this I was on my way to this enticing Speak Easy Bar in Smithfield. I guess I’m telling you everything you need to know when I say it’s a spin-off from The Nightjar.

Tucked away in the Smithfield market, the sister bar to the nightjar is wider and a bit of a more commercial version. The selection of cocktails is original and sophisticated; although a bit on the sweet side for my taste, their mix of flavours is structured and well balanced (i've tried about a dozen so far). The choice of food is limited but, there too, coming with a refined combination of tastes (the sea bass is great, the sirloin is as good). The live music was nice and never too loud. I would definitely recommend it
Magnificent place for special cocktails and live music. The band was grand, and the performances were all marvelous. Nice mood for a Friday evening. Would recommend the whiskey cocktails, extremely well done, without subduing the peaty flavors. The food was good enough but nothing to crave for later - just a pretty good foundation for the amazing drinks.
