This gorgeously verdant cocktail bar brings Los Angeles vibes to Bermondsey Street. Order from the bespoke menu downstairs or snack on some tacos from the Tigre Tacos food truck on front. Nine Lives is a great date spot, especially if you can bag yourself one of the private booths. Plus you become 50% cooler the moment you step inside.

Nine Lives is a cosy, ‘neighborhood bar’. It is famous for offering and providing delicious and best cocktails to its customers. Situated in a basement in Holyrood Street, this bar will give you an intimate and relaxing atmosphere the moment you step into it. The tropical plants, retro music, and delicious cocktails make this a favorite of the local customers. Although almost all days are quiet days, Saturdays are when the parties are in full swing. Some of its most popular menu items are cocktails, tequila, martinis, margaritas, ciders, whiskies, tacos, juices, etc.

expertly mixed cocktails in an elegant basement bar. With its regularly changing menu of creative cocktails, Nine Lives is a great place for a pre-dinner drink (or two), like the pictured Piña Noir. But if you don't want to leave this cosy basement bar, they also serve delicious Mexican food.

Tucked just off Bermerdsey Street, Nine Lives is a speakeasy-style cocktail bar with a sustainability slant—seasonal serves, rescued ingredients, vinyl on the decks. One of the best cocktail bars near London Bridge.

Topping off the list in the 50th spot is Nine Lives. Tucked down a quiet Bermondsey alleyway, this is a must-hit spot for a weekend brunch of tacos and tequila.

If I were a cat with only one life left, then I’d be at Nine Lives Bar in London Bridge making the most of it. This spot specialises in pairing your Mexican dishes with drinks that put the flavours of the country truly in the spotlight.

Usually, all fun things around Bermondsey happen in plain sight... But there’s one spot worth heading underground for: cocktail bar Nine Lives. The cocktails are great, the food is great (tacos are the ultimate bar snack, if you ask us) and the playlist is sensation.

The bar, called Nine Lives, will feature original cocktails, an enough atmosphere—and like most of the bar operations Sweet&Chilli represents—great music. ... Nine Lives is re-defining cocktail culture with its sustainable, no-waste movement. Music plays from a re-purposed beautiful rig, old recipes are reinvented and ingredients are reused to reduce waste (and fertilize their backyard herb garden). The name speaks to an “ethos of salvation” that is also reflected in the bar’s design and relaxed overall vibe. The décor is old-fashioned and eclectic: woven lampshades and hanging plants subtly surround you.
