About Nine Lives Bar

In summer 2017, the founders of renowned drinks agency Sweet& Chilli opened Nine Lives, a neighbourhood bar full of sublime cocktails, warm welcomes & a killer soundtrack. A bar that's good for the soul

Nine Lives Bar Description

Nine Lives is the latest neighbourhood bar to grace Bermondsey's streets, behind the doors to an old Victorian basement you’ll find a ‘tropicalifornication’ vibe & cosy décor. The concept behind this spot is simple; great tasting drinks in a comfortable environment all made in an ethical way.

The bar is the pet project of the team behind Sweet& Chilli. With the sustainable theme proving to be popular among bartenders and chefs, many of London's newest spots use this as a core principle. The team at Nine Lives looks at this concept across the venue from the products they use & the recycling of waste through to the sourcing of equipment & furniture from vintage & second hand sources. All the waste that is created is sent to the venue's compost system, where it is broken down and then used to fuel the venue's herb and vegetable garden.

Their music is as obsessed over as their drinks. In keeping with the ethos of salvation, their sound system is repurposed from a beautiful rig which until 3 years ago powered London Bridge’s legendary club, Cable. The sound it rewards them with is rich & warm, perfect for some after-dark drinking & dancing.

Every Saturday, Nine Lives host a weekly party with a selection of DJs from some of London’s hottest labels - you won’t hear sounds like this on a sound-system like this with drinks like this anywhere else in London.

Nine Lives bar is being taken over by some of our favourite women on the 7th of March, in support of International Women’s Day in association with Cardhu. We have brought together a collective of inspiring women with drinks from leading Brand Ambassadors Kate Jackson and Jenna Ba, with artist Trinity Tristan and DJ VANILLE.
Artist Trinity Tristan will be creating a boob print artwork, involving anyone who would like to take part! In a private part of the bar, Trinity will us...e body paint and print willing participants boobs onto a canvas to encourage body positivity and female empowerment! There will be a silent bid to purchase the artwork during the night and 100% of the proceeds will go to charity.
The bar itself will be taken over by some of the best women in the spirit industry, with drinks created and served by leading Brand Ambassadors; Jenna Ba from Bulleit Bourbon and Kate Jackson from Ketel One, with £1 from each drink sold on the night to be donated to the charity.
The drinks will represent lesser known stories throughout history of the women that created change,
'Space: The Final Frontier' is a drink that Uhura in Star Trek would drink. Dedicated to Nichelle Nichols, who was one of the first black females in a lead role at the time, after her role in Star Trek she became a recruiter for NASA, actually taking POC into space.
'Raise the Flag' is a drink that transports you to Cardhu in the times the Cummings ladies were distilling. A nod to Helen Cumming, the founder of Cardhu distillery in Archiestown. “a most remarkable character and a woman of many resources; she possessed the courage and energy of a man, and in devices and plans to evade the gaugers, no man nor woman could equal her"
If all that wasn't quite enough, there will also be the opportunity to fill in a #MessageToMySister postcard, a global movement by Women for Women International, to send words of hope, encouragement and solidarity to a woman isolated by conflict.
This is an event to support equality for all and is open to all! We bloody love men too!
