Mugi was born from the friendship of Lorenzo and Ibrahim, two friends living in London, brought together by a shared love for Japan and a passion for hospitality.

Inspired by the simplicity, warmth and spirit of Japanese drinking culture, Mugi brings together a love for good food, good drinks and good company.

The name Mugi — meaning “barley” in Japanese — is a nod to one of Japan’s most fascinating ingredients and to the simple, everyday rituals that make a bar feel like home.

At Mugi, we keep things uncomplicated: good food, cold drinks, great music and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay for one more.
