What to do in week 3 of Negroni month.
As the week unfolds, the precinct sets a soulful pace with music, cocktails, and the kind of atmosphere that turns an ordinary evening into something memorable.
Begin on Wednesday 17 September at Kahii, where the timeless Classic Negroni Campari, Cinzano Rosso and Bombay Sapphire flows as smooth as the live jazz drifting through the room. It’s the perfect way to ease into midweek, letting the swing of the saxophone guide your first sips.
From there, drift into Roast Republic, where the night takes on a bolder edge. The Boulevardier a heartier cousin of the Negroni blends Campari, Sazerac Rye and El Raval Vermouth, standing up beautifully to the venue’s street-food inspired menu. It’s a pause full of flavour and comfort, a chance to recharge before the music calls you back out again.
Jazz nights return to Stitch, filling the underground bar with brass, bass, and soul. While the headline artist is still to be announced, the atmosphere is guaranteed, smooth music, rich cocktails, and a setting that feels like an escape from the city above.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or settling in for the evening, the combination of live music and classic cocktails is a midweek treat that never disappoints.
And to close the week, step into The Barber Shop where things end on a dramatic, smoky high. Their Campfire Negroni PX-smoked Campari, Cinzano Rosso and Bombay Sapphire Gin arrives crowned with a burnt marshmallow flourish, a playful nod to nostalgia with a sophisticated twist. It’s the kind of cocktail that lingers in both taste and memory, the perfect finale to a week of jazz, rhythm, and Negronis.
