Nessa's Salon of the Unruly

Welcome to Nessa’s Negroni Lounge.

For Nessa’s Salon of the Unruly in September and October we collaborated with Campari to turn Thursday nights into something worth talking about.

From 4 September, 7pm to midnight, for eight weeks only, we hosted Nessa’s Negroni Lounge – a series where music, cocktails, and Soho’s restless energy collide. Bringing together British artists, DJs, and three exclusive British‑inspired Negronis, created with Campari and crafted by our bar team.

Alongside the Lounge, we hosted a series of complimentary, intimate Negroni masterclasses and artist-led workshops, in partnership with Campari. Held just upstairs at 1 Warwick (our private members’ House), these one-hour sessions go deeper into the art of the world’s most iconic aperitivo and the creative practices of local and emerging artists. Guided by Campari experts and special guests, each class explores heritage, balance and imagination, with a distinctly Nessa twist.

The next Nessa’s Salon of the Unruly returns is on New Year’s Eve – a Biba-inspired bash, with live set by British band Rio and the Sterling – soulful, dancefloor-ready, and full of feel good energy and live drawing unfolding through the evening from a British artist.

This creative collaborative series will continue in January 2026. Spaces are limited, register for the guestlist below.

Familiar, but with a twist; much like Nessa herself.

THE LINE UP

SOUL QUEST & ELECTRIC BODIES: NOVEMBER 6TH

Soul Quest Records is an independent record label founded by Max Sinal, Michael Mead & Leon Sweeney. Originating in Hackney, London in 2023, they’ve honed their signature blend, weaving deep soulful house with jazzy undertones.

Electric Bodies is an exhibition exploring presence, energy, and reflection through different art forms.

It stems from a portrait series titled Electric Body, a collection of portraits taken around London, which has been expanded by inviting over ten artists to create their own interpretations.

NESSA'S NEGRONI LOUNGE COCKTAILS

Exclusively for Nessa’s Negroni Lounge, we’ve created three cocktails in collaboration with Campari, designed to exist only here & now. They’re inventive reinterpretations of the Italian Negroni, infused with British character and contemporary flair. Each of these cocktails uses Ramsbury Gin as a base, a premium English spirit that reflects our local terroir. We’ve layered in uniquely British ingredients to give every drink its own twist:

The Bitter Earl (Earl Grey)

Aromatic and modern, shaped by the depth of Earl Grey tea and honey.

Peak & Flow (Rhubarb)

Bright and herbaceous, lifted by crisp rhubarb.

Red Handed (Cherry)

Deeply fruity, enriched with sloe berries and dark cherry notes.

This menu is a limited edition. Come and discover them while you can.

TRIPLE NEGRONI FLIGHT + NIBBLES £40

For two exclusive months during our Negroni Lounge series, enjoy a Flight of 3 British‑inspired Negronis (each reimagining Campari’s classic bite with a distinctly British twist) paired with homemade pork scratchings or BBQ crisps, for just £40.

A steal when the usual RRP is £15 per Negroni. Available only on event nights throughout September & October 2025, this offer is a celebration of cocktail craft, Soho energy, and creative indulgence.

ART TRAIL EXCLUSIVE: LINA YOKOYAMA POSTCARD AT NESSA

As part of our Nessa’s Negroni Lounge series, we’re showcasing a special piece from artist Lina Yokoyama, created exclusively for the occasion.

Her artwork (available as a limited-edition postcard gift with every Negroni purchased from September through October) draws inspiration from the rich, unruly conversations that unfold within our walls. Grounded in the spirit of the Bloomsbury Group, Lina’s piece captures the depth, intimacy, and quiet intensity of dialogue shared over a Negroni.

It’s part of our ongoing artwork trial, and a tribute to the cocktail as catalyst for connection, for expression, for something a little more lasting.
