Jazu Bar London

"Jazu Bar on Deptford High Street makes an otherwise repetitive pasta and wine date night, a lot more exciting. On busy nights, long benches spill out onto the street and cackles of laughter draw passers-by over to look at the menu. The kitchen residencies change regularly which suits the cool atmosphere. And the state-of-the-art sound system and chic DJ booth makes it a step up from most neighbourhood bars." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

"Jazu Bar has made this otherwise pedestrian end of Deptford High Street—with an Asda, a butcher, and a hair salon—a scene. On busy nights, long benches spill out on to the street and cackles of laughter draw passers-by over to look at the latest kitchen residency menu. The impromptu street party feel and state-of-the-art sound system and chic DJ booth make it a step up from most neighbourhood bars. Come for a relaxed night out and an expertly made pineapple sour, or drop by midweek for a beer at the bar. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna

"Although this Deptford spot calls itself a bar, dishes like rabbit croquettes, dry-aged short rib burgers, and beef tartare sound like they make for great snacking food. At Jazu, there’s also a record-filled wall, a disco ball, and listening sessions that seem ideal for when you want to dance but hate clubs. We recently checked out Jazu Bar. Read our first thoughts here.   " - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"Jazu Bar has made this otherwise pedestrian end of Deptford High Street a scene. On busy nights, long benches spill out on to the street and if the impromptu street party feel doesn’t tempt you over, the dry-aged short rib and chuck burger should. The snacky bar menu doesn’t stick to any particular cuisine—think taramasalata, jerk pork chop, padron peppers—but suits the atmosphere, which, courtesy of a state-of-the-art sound system and chic DJ booth, is a step up from most neighbourhood bars.

"Jazu Bar—a Deptford spot with a snacky, cuisine-hopping menu—makes a dry-aged short rib and chuck burger that demands our sole attention. This is a burger for people who like alone time with the barbecue, or get a kick out of a chat with the butcher. The meat is the star—a thick, perfectly pink patty that dribbles juices into the bun. Plus the caramelised onions get all mixed up with the melting gruyère and chilli mayonnaise. You don’t need chips. This stands alone. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
