Cocktail Waiter

Black Lacquer is a contemporary underground cocktail bar where eclectic music is celebrated and the same singular approach is taken to the sound as to the drinks. Whatever the time or day, Black Lacquer always delivers top-notch hospitality. The cocktail list is complemented by a curated list of sake and shochu, Japanese draft beer, and a selection of wine and Champagnes, with house-made non-alcoholic sodas rotated with the seasons.

Elevating bar food beyond the usual fare, Black Lacquer serves inspired Japanese small Izakaya-style plates designed to be eaten with the hands and shared.

Black Lacquer is part of Hyde London City, marking the rebirth of a London icon. This lavish seven-storey, 111-room property at 15 Old Bailey draws upon a rich and storied past to create a luxurious, bespoke hideaway in the heart of the city. Hyde London City will be a destination unto itself, hosting unmatched experiences for locals and ultimately the discerning global traveller.
