- AmberApril 17, 2018Beautiful hotel bar with exceptionally balanced drinks. Obviously expensive (esp food). That said, service was friendly & welcoming. Pro tip: if you ask nicely, they'll share their drink recipes :D
Upvoted Aug 16 - Kinofdc WilderMay 12, 2015Fantastic drinks by Rusty and Ago. Even when I am staying in a different hotel (Ritz, Dorcheste..), I would still make a point of dropping by the Connaught just for Mulata Daisy and William's Punch.
Simon WillisonJanuary 5, 2014NOT the first bar you see when you enter the hotel - it's at the back behind the main staircase. The Bloody Mary with celery "air" is fantastic.
Ashley ChanOctober 28, 2017I love the Art Deco, mysterious vibe of this hotel bar. The service is spectacular & personable. Come here for their famous martini cart or creative cocktails. Great place to go with quality company.
Alroy SApril 4, 2017Awesome cocktails and great service! Special mention to Michael and Frederico. Well deserving of the title of second best bar in the world 2016. The rum sour is excellently refreshing on a cold night
Dan NegruFebruary 16, 2017Breathtaking. Best bar I've ever been to for sure. Amazing drinks, staff and ambience. Pricey however definitely worth it. The Martini Cart is a must have experience.
- Jade Yuting PangMay 28, 2016Beautiful place, wonderful cocktails and great service from the staff. Yes it's a little pricey but I'm willing to pay for quality. Connaught martini, vieux connaught and mulata daisy all great
Ross WSOctober 9, 2021Probably the best dry martinis in London. Try the Magnetum, a scotch and sherry mix which comes in two distinct parts, the two blended by a pull on a custom-designed, modernist stirrer.
Stavria K.January 23, 2019One of the most difficult doors of the City but worth it! Try to have a seat, Drink your amazing cocktail, eat the extraordinary green olives and watch who is around.
- Ross WSJanuary 9, 2018Lead by Agostino Perrone one of the most decorated bartenders in the world. Bloody-Mary is benchmark, new drinks are worthy like "Tip of the Iceburg" with banana-infused gin and unique presentation
Natalia QuinteroMarch 19, 2016The art deco interior with its black marble floor, long mirrors, and custom-made leather chairs offers a sophisticated taste. Order a martini, and a server will roll over an old-fashioned cart.
OJ BratApril 3, 2016Fantastic hotel bar for late night whisky sipping. Beautiful atmosphere. Enjoyed a Caol Ila 18YO here.
Live Restaurant LtdMay 25, 2014It was hard to get an appropriate selection of real bread with our cheese plate. Only male waiters with poor English level. Our daughter loved the toilet offering different perfumes!!- Cocktail GuidenJanuary 30Fancy cocktail bar, excellent service and great cocktails. A place to treat yourself and that special someone.
Nidhi KayOctober 11, 2019truly a regal experience here, ask for a connaught martini they bring out the trolley, drinks are great beautiful ambience
DRAZMarch 31, 2016Awesome bar... its the one in the back of the hotel... Order the martini as it's fun to watch them make it in front of you.
Dmitry WitmanNovember 21, 2014One of the best bars in town. London establishment that is in top-4 drinks intl for 3 years in a row, and totally on merit.
Will RMay 18, 2013The Connaught Cocktail is a real treat for the Ladies. Made at your table by a white gloved waiter. Flavours eye-dropped into a frosted glass and mixed as you watch. Nice action...
Luke BrunettinSeptember 12, 2015Cocktails and class. Incredible service and an environment you will struggle to find elsewhere. Beautiful bar and hotel.
MENU PortugalOctober 16, 2013Adore this place. Great atmosphere, people, drinks. It's 'my living room'). Live nearby & always meet friends here
If you are a Champagne lover, head to the champagne bar, a more tranquil & exclusive place to enjoy your evening (don't be on a budget!)
Rebecca MazzaApril 15, 2016The 9th best bar in the world. It's good but not as interesting as Artesian
Lovely cocktail bar, amazing atmosphere, affordable prices, and attentive service. One of the best in London!
KN3February 21, 2015Good staff & service ...chic class bar for date or friends meetings ...good drinks and cocktails- Ross WSSeptember 4, 2016Winner of "World’s Best Cocktail Bar" and "Best International Hotel Bar" in the Spirited Awards (July 2016)
Olly StedallDecember 19, 2013It's rare to receive to receive a good and spicy Bloody Mary that doesn't need adjusting in some way, but the Connaught's is already perfect...
Window seats at the front are the best; a great late night option. Solid cocktails and bar snacks.- George ThAugust 29, 2021Nice place with a stylish interior. However, we didn’t like the drinks. Could be that the cocktails we ordered weren’t to our taste, but the waiter was not helpful either. No way best in the world.
- Bijan YoungNovember 9, 2017Busy. Expensive. Good mix of signature dishes. The Blood Mary is well worth trying.
James HeadJuly 26, 2013Have a martini with your girl then get the hell out before you have another. Amazing experience but it's expensive.
VasiliscusSeptember 6, 2013Dirty martini as an opportunity to participate in creation of an own cocktail is a must

"My wife and I had a remarkable dinner at Jean Georges last week. Octopus was served at correct point of cook. The sommelier, Ernesto, helped us to find the right wine for the night. We will return!"
Tobias Levisnes - 8.0
"The £35 lunch deal here is fantastic value. Fabulous food in a beautiful setting. Impeccable service. Quiet and civilised rather than buzzing and vibrant. Well worth booking."
