Incredible! The service, the food, the music, everything! Probably best tacos I’ve had and genuinely enjoyed my night! Tables are a little low making it a bit awkward to eat but otherwise had a blast. Highly recommend

Didn’t have food so can’t speak on it. But the cocktails were great. Bartender was very friendly. Music was great for anyone who likes their R&B (went on a Thursday evening).

Right from when the doors opened very welcoming. Nice bouncer also welcoming. The front man helpfully recommended a drink that wasnt on the menu. Waiting staff really attentive and on it. The tacos and corn were really good, the watermelon and cheese not great, but the churros really good! A few more food options or sides would be great! Great night would come back. X

I keep coming to this place because from the fantastically consistent and reasonably priced cocktails to the warm genuine hosting of the staff surrounding the dimmed lounging atmosphere, I have not encountered a better combo anywhere in London. Tucked away from busy streets, it’s the perfect date spot or early evening meet up place to wind-down from work. Shout out to the legends Ben and Jay and of course the wonderful Stevie. I will keep coming 🤘🖤 To your continued success! Best, T

Thankyou so much Tiago!! Ben & Jay are our kings behind the bar and glad to hear our fresh face - Stevie - is already making waves. We will see you back for more cocktails soon!

Wonderful ambience and felt generally youthful: 21-35yo. Cocktails were high quality, interesting and delicious. Didn’t plan on going for the food but shared a beef taco and it was on par with the cocktails! I will definitely be coming back!
Nine Lives BarResponded on 3 September 2024
Always wonderful to hear when a surprise taco seals the deal! We can never resist them ourselves either. We'll see you again soon!
