A contemporary cocktail bar in the heart of Islington.

03/01/2022

We love our signature cocktails but we appreciate that sometimes you just want your favourite drink! If we can, we're always happy to make an off the menu classic, you can even give one of our bartenders your own specifications.

28/12/2021

Everyone at 163 hopes our guests, suppliers and friends had a lovely Christmas. We thought we’d need our bottle shop for a little longer but as there are no new restrictions we will be back open as normal from tomorrow at 5! We’ll be open this week;
Wednesday - 1700 - 2300
Thursday - 1700 - 2300
Friday - 1700 - 0030
Saturday & Sunday - Closed

Pictured is After Midnight, our take on a Dirty Martini with pickled jalapeño, it’s a little spicy, a hit of umami and just what you need to wake back up after the Christmas indulgence!

20/12/2021

This isn’t a picture of a drink on its own! We have some news.

From tomorrow at 12, we will be operating as a bottle shop, with cocktails, mulled wine and amazing roast beef sandwiches to takeaway, until further notice. We’ll have some amazing wines and the entire range of spirits we use in our cocktails so there are some real gems in there.

Opening hours:
21st, 22nd, 23rd & 24th: 12 - 7
25th, 26th, 27th, 28th: Closed
29th, 30th, & 31st: 12 - 7

Thank you to everyone who came in over this past weekend, we can’t wait to have you all back in at the bar again, when it’s safe for us and our staff to do so.

That’s, all for now. Stayed tuned for pictures of roast beef (and other equally interesting delectable things)

16/12/2021

We are taking additional measures to make 163 as safe as possible, re-introducing greater social distancing between tables, even more regular sanitising and daily lateral flows for all staff. For now, we will remain open and will be here ready to welcome you. Keep safe everyone.

13/12/2021
