Special selection from Bex for the evening. All great records, and diverse. Very thoughtfully curated.
Listening bars are venues where the focus is on high-quality music listening, often on vinyl, played through audiophile-grade sound systems. Think dim lighting, curated records, no DJs yelling over the mic - just pure sound. Listening bars today are about slowing down, listening deeply, and connecting through music - kind of like drinking with your ears

TINKERBELL
Sakura Bloom Gin, Midori, Prosecco, Orgeat
Lush, silky, soft. Delicate, soft, and floral Roku Sakura Bloom Gin, and Midori make a not-too sweet dessert pairing in this little lady. It’s bubbly and green like Tinkerbell, easy on the palate, perfect for spring, and another excuse for us to use orgeat 🤣 On the menu now!

Def Jam, founded in 1984 by Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, revolutionized music by elevating hip-hop from underground street culture to a global phenomenon. Its legacy is defined by launching iconic artists like LL Cool J and Public Enemy, pioneering a gritty sound, and building a powerhouse brand that dominated decades of hip-hop. So we’re gonna be celebrating the acts from the early years of this iconic record label. Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, EPMD, et al. Come join us.

BULLY
First Love Gin, Creme de Peche, Dry Curaçao, Grapefruit, Lime, Orgeat, Angostura, Saline
Here’s me making that drink from yesterday ¯\_(ツ)_/ a small correction from that post: the staff member who suggested using peach in the drink told me she never will have said “please” so keep that in mind.

Can’t believe we’re on Season VII already! Spring / Summer 2026 cocktail rollout has begun with another insight into how some drinks get made at Magpie; started by wanting to use Orgeat, an ingredient not in as many of our drinks right now. And we haven’t had any new gin drinks in a while. So I told a staff member “I’m making a gin cocktail, what would you add to it?” And they said “Peach! A gin / peach cocktail please” and that’s where the Bully started. To make the perfect cocktail for them with a gin / peach / orgeat base idea. I think it turned out pretty great. It looks tropical but it’s more lush and rich, fruity but not in an overly sweet way. We’re also going to be using our bew drinks as our weekly features for the next little while just to help keep focus our amazing new drinks.

GUEST SELECTOR: APR 23rd: FATUMA
If you ever sat at the bar here at Magpie, you’ve probably met Fatuma, and had some great conversation, we may even have asked you to scooch over a seat or two so she could have her favourite spot. If you met her you would know why she’s a cherished regular of ours, and how sad we are to learn she’s moving away at the end of this month. This Thursday we’re doing something new and letting her be the guests selector for her going away party. She’s picking the music all night. And she’s got an amazing lineup for y’all. To celebrate her and all she’s meant to us over the years we’re also putting her favourite cocktail to drink at Magpie, a spicy margarita, on special all night. So come down, have one last drink with her, hear one last story, let’s send her off in the best way we can. Music, and happy hour, start at 5pm.
