We’re matching the weather next month, brightening up our monthly Whisk(e)y Cocktails selection giving Nikka Days Japanese Blended Whisky it’s moment in the sun.

A vibrant addition to the Nikka range, this is a bright and vivacious marriage of malt and grain whiskies sourced from both Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagiko distilleries.

Boasting a medium body, it possesses an array of floral and zesty flavours, an underlying vanilla-toffee depth, and a light touch of peat smoke to finish.

This light, fresh, and delicate whisky makes for a delicious sipping dram, and is just as at home sitting in a tall, refreshing highball. Perfect for the warmer climes ahead.

Our two-strong cocktail list – and our iconic beer ‘n’ a bump is available all month long, 7 days a week, at £8.50 a pop. Come by any day you fancy and see what all the fuss is about.

July’s gearing up to be a sweltering month here in the Big Smoke, so what better way to cool off every Tuesday than with a brand new range of £3 pints?

The guys at Highgate’s Gorgeous Brewery are next up behind the stick. They’re fiercely independent, family-owned, and family-run – following in the footsteps of their grandmother Marion.

They pride themselves on using as little automation as possible, since this means that a whole lot more hard work and care goes into everything they make. All their beers are unrefined, unfiltered, and 100% vegan so you can drink with that moral compass well and truly intact.

You can expect their Gunpowder IPA, Guzzla Lager, along with some other brews on our taps. Cheers.

To keep the vibes high, we have the guys from the Psych-Folk-Pop ensemble from down-under – Tempesst – throwing our the party tunes on the decks.

Now London-based, Tempesst are riding a wave since the release of their ‘Feel Better’ EP in Octover, and their headline tour in December. The night looks set to be rowdy!

The 26th October sees this month’s Non-Specific land on The Sun Tavern’s 3rd birthday…and the launch of our New Cocktail list.

 To celebrate another lap around the…erm..Sun, we thought it only right to invite Umbrella Project guru and keen music enthusiast, Andy Kerr to take to the decks and give us his take on Non-Specific Rock ‘n’ Roll. Quite the expert in 80’s & 90’s indie, but his knowledge doesn’t stop there. Expect a broad and riotous set.

The New Cocktail list will continue to focus on the indigenous and often overlooked spirits of the world. Think Eastern Europe’s Slivovitz, Peru & Chile’s Pisco, Scandinavia’s Akvavit, Marc from France, Italy’s Grappa, and needless to say Poitín from Ireland.

As per the norm, we’ll have the delicious Vietnamese baguettes, Bánh mì on hand for sustenance, absolutely free.
