The Connaught Bar sits within the five-star Connaught hotel in Mayfair and has become one of London's most celebrated cocktail destinations, regularly ranked among the world's best bars. Its signature is the tableside martini trolley, where a choice of infusions and bitters lets guests build a bespoke martini. The polished, high-ceilinged room and attentive service make it a special-occasion pour rather than a casual drop-in, and its consistent presence on global rankings keeps demand high.

What people say

"Beautiful bar with lively atmosphere. Cocktail menu is gorgeous. Lots of drinks to choose from. If you love martinis, we highly recommend ordering one. The martini cart experience is quite special. My husband is very particular with his martinis and enjoyed his. I enjoyed my refreshing “Piper”tequila based drink. You have a better chance to get a seat if you are a guest of the hotel. We cane several times before we were able to enjoy."
