Book NowAbout Niky
Tucked along Doggett Street, this Newstead hangout pairs a rotating pour list with serious kitchen craft. No decision fatigue here—just eight wines poured alongside seasonal plates. Regulars benchmark other wine bars against Niky's seasoned beef tartare, warm focaccia, and fresh oysters. Between pours, the working chef steps onto the floor to drop dishes and check tables. Pull up a stool, pour a pet-nat, and dig into bone marrow served with warm mini Yorkshire puddings.
- Rotating Tap Wines: Around eight rotating wines on pour alongside seasonal small plates eliminate decision fatigue.
- Focused Seasonal Bites: An intentionally tight kitchen run featuring standout beef tartare, fresh oysters, and fluffy focaccia.
- Chef Tableside Engagement: The chef personally runs plates and checks in on tables during the dinner rush.
