Negroni Week 2025 is nearly upon us (September 22-28), meaning over 1,800 bars around the UK will be finding their own unique way to celebrate. Everyone knows there’s no Negroni without Campari – and to honour this iconic event, Campari is opening five Negroni Lounges in a handful of London’s very best bars and restaurants. You can even visit the UK’s first Negroni Bar in collaboration with Campari at The Alchemist, Monument!
Offering everything from bespoke Negroni menus to live music, these bars will be putting on Negroni-based celebrations from the start of September. The Negroni Lounges will also form part of their own art trail, with each bar offering their own unique, limited edition collectable postcard print by Lena Yokoyama that you’ll receive after purchasing a Negroni, while stocks last. And the best part is, these Negroni Lounges are supporting an important cause.
Campari, Italy’s iconic red aperitif, and Imbibe Magazine are once again joining forces for the 13th annual Negroni Week. Bars and restaurants around the world will celebrate the iconic cocktail and make a donation to its official charitable partner, Slow Food. Negroni Week champions the art of storytelling through creative mixology, with Campari at the very heart of the celebrations.
1. Bar Jackie
Bar Jackie on Broadwick Street pays homage to the idea that we all have our own personal icon who embodies fun, fabulousness, and joy. There is no Italian aperitif bitter more iconic than Campari, and Bar Jackie is inviting Londoners to celebrate Negroni Week at their Negroni Lounge, open through September and October. Here you’ll be able to enjoy any Campari cocktail and a cicchetti plate of cured meats, cheese, Nocellara olives and home made focaccia for £19- there will also be a special Negroni menu, including the Honeydew Negroni. Not to mention they will host the first night of the Mind Enterprises Negroni Lounge Tour on 23rd September.

This beautifully curated neighbourhood cocktail bar has won over locals with its cosy, intimate interiors and top-notch mixology.

Recently crowned Time Out’s Best Bar In London, Equal Parts will also be wearing Aperitivo Digestivo attire and hosting weekly music nights throughout the month, including a set from DJ Mind Enterprises on September 25 (pre-booking required).
5. Nightjar Carnaby
It is the opinion of the team at Nightjar Carnaby, that a week is simply too short to celebrate the Negroni. So they’re extending their celebrations for the entirety of the month, with the Negroni Lounge itself open until the end of September. The bespoke Negroni menu features an array of mouthwatering Negroni twists, as well as the perfectly balanced classic. What’s more, they’ll be hosting free live music every Thursday until the end of the month!
6. The Negroni Bar at The Alchemist
Where better to toast to Negroni Week than the UK’s first Negroni Bar in collaboration with Campari? Open at The Alchemist Monument, this is a place where die-hard fans and Negroni newbies alike can sip excellent Campari cocktails in a sleek and sophisticated setting that draws inspiration from Campari’s rich Italian heritage. From a bold barrel-aged Negroni to a refreshing Campari Spritz, there is something for everyone. Throughout Negroni Week, you can enjoy £6 Negronis at Happy Hour, every weekday from 6pm-7pm. However, the bar is here to stay, so you can enjoy its creations on Negroni Week and beyond!
Please drink responsibly.
