Nine Lives — Hidden Cocktail Haven in London Bridge Tucked away on a quiet backstreet near London Bridge, Nine Lives is the kind of bar you stumble upon once and never forget. Housed in a Victorian basement with tropical vibes and low lighting, it’s intimate, effortlessly cool, and refreshingly unpretentious.
Drinks:
The cocktail menu is short, seasonal, and seriously well-crafted.
Expect bold flavours, sustainable ingredients, and zero-waste philosophy.
Try the Margarita Verde or Pink Panther — both are standouts.
Vibe: Think jungle chic meets speakeasy. Exposed brick, plants everywhere, and a soundtrack that leans into funk, soul, and deep house. It’s cozy without being cramped, stylish without trying too hard.
Service: Warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. Bartenders are happy to chat or recommend something off-menu.
Extras:
DJs on weekends keep the energy up without overwhelming conversation.
Occasionally hosts pop-ups and collabs with local creatives.
Prices: Premium but fair — cocktails around £11–£13. Worth it for the quality and experience.
Final word: Nine Lives is more than a bar — it’s a mood. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or flying solo, it’s one of London’s best-kept secrets for a night that feels both relaxed and elevated.
