The reigning champion of the martini trolley — a tableside ritual of bitters, vermouth and theatre that has made this the most imitated bar in the world.
The Setting
The Room
David Collins's silver-leafed, platinum-and-pearl room is a study in restrained glamour — textured walls inspired by 1920s Cubism, low banquettes, and lighting calibrated to flatter everyone and rush no one.
The single drink worth the journey to London.
— On the Connaught Martini
The Atmosphere
The Vibe
Hushed but never stiff. Mayfair regulars, off-duty hoteliers and the occasional pilgrim share the same unhurried tempo. Conversation stays low; the loudest thing in the room is the rattle of the trolley arriving.

The Drinks Program
The martini is the headline act, mixed tableside from a trolley of house bitters — try the Dr Ago. Beyond it, an exacting list of classics and a few quiet originals, all built on impeccable spirits and even better ice.
