American Bar

Top choice in The West End


Home of the Lonely Street, Concrete Jungle and other house cocktails named after iconic songs collected in the 'Savoy Songbook', the seriously dishy American Bar is a London icon, with soft blue furniture, gleaming art-deco lines and live piano jazz from 6.30pm nightly. Cocktails start at £20 and peak at a stupefying £5000 (for the Sazerac, containing cognac from 1858).

Named for serving 'American-style' drinks (now known as cocktails), it's the oldest cocktail bar in London. The dress code is smart casual.
