Mauro's Negroni Club

Named after and owned by bartending legend and travelling Campari ambassador, Mauro Mahjoub, this is the third incarnation of his Negroni Club and opened in 2010 - each time he has closed to reopen in a larger site, attracting more capable bartenders to join him. So if you were impressed by his previous offerings, you'll be blown away by this one.

Lying in a quiet residential street in an upmarket area, Mauro's manages to be a destination bar for discerning drinkers and at the same a neighbourhood bar loved by locals. The artwork that surrounds the two panelled rooms are all one-off works by Mauro's talented father. The family influence continues to Mauro's fiancé, Sharin, who designs the bar's excellent newspaper-style menus.

As befits the name you'll find a plethora of Mauro's twists on the Negroni amongst the pages of classic cocktails, and you'll be amazed at what he's used and how well the combinations work. As Mauro is of Italian descent you probably won't be surprised at how good the food served here is.

Incidentally, Mauro is also famous for having the largest privately-owned bar and cocktail book collection.
