When Neon Pigeon chose to call Carpenter Street their home, it was given new life, and they haven't turned back since! This contemporary izakaya loves to keep things interesting and new, and they have made some exciting modifications. Sean Mell, a former executive chef at Nobu, is now in charge of the kitchen, bringing his culinary skills to the already inventive mix. The bar also welcomes Mario la Pietra, a talented mixologist from London's award-winning Luggage Room Bar.
Neon Pigeon's approach is a mix of misfits, bringing unique twists to traditional Japanese flavors and cooking techniques. They're taking it to a whole new level of adventure with Neon Pigeon 2.0. The cocktail menu features intriguing concoctions like the gin-based Japanese Drifter, which nicely balances the sharpness of the lemon with the velvety melon flavour. Kambei's Anger, which combines smoky mezcal, bourbon, and vermouth with the lovely aroma of umeshu, is a punchy option for people who enjoy a smoky kick.
Additionally, Neon Pigeon 2.0 introduces the Raw Bar, which, in traditional Japanese style, highlights the beauty of seasonal Japanese delicacies. Of course, the cocktail bar has grown and now offers a wider selection of beverages with a Tokyo-inspired flavour. Although there are crushable beverages made with Japanese alcohol and additives, sake still reigns supreme. So go to Neon Pigeon on Carpenter Street if you're searching for a flavour and cocktail adventure. Your taste buds will definitely be delighted by them, and you'll keep going back for more!
