Quick info
About Nest Bishopsgate
Nest Bishopsgate is a cocktail bar and kitchen in the City of London, at the Liverpool Street end of Bishopsgate. Its Soul Brunch is a bottomless brunch with live singers and a host. Behind the bar, the staff mix cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and make drink recommendations. A food menu runs alongside, with tables set next to the bar for eating. Upstairs, a mezzanine holds The Nest, a private hire area that looks down over the rest of the bar and gives groups a space of their own. The bar opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

“Went to their first bottomless brunch. The music was good! The performers were amazing! Ruth Brown had me in tears when she sang the iconic song from Dreamgirls. Toby Williams had a wonderful voice! Both were great entertainers. The host kept the vibes going and sung some lovely songs! Will definitely be visiting Nest again for their Soul Brunch!”

“Fantastic Sunday roast at Nest. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavour, and everything else on the plate was cooked perfectly. The roast potatoes, vegetables, and gravy were all excellent. A special compliment to Head Chef Ronnie, his skill and attention to detail really shine through. One of the best Sunday roasts I've had. Highly recommended”

“Pedro made one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had. The balance was absolutely perfect — smooth, rich, and expertly crafted with incredible attention to detail. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work because every sip was flawless. Beyond the amazing cocktail, Pedro’s hospitality made the experience even better. He was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, creating an atmosphere that felt both comfortable and memorable. Exceptional service and an unforgettable drink.”
