Drinks
The American Bar at The Savoy has poured cocktails on the Strand since the early twentieth century and is widely regarded as one of the world's oldest and most influential hotel bars, credited with helping popularize the cocktail culture in Britain. The elegant Art Deco room and extensive, inventive cocktail list continue to draw both special-occasion visitors and cocktail connoisseurs. Its long, storied history sets it apart from London's newer wave of speakeasy and concept bars.

What people say
"We had the most lovely time at The American Bar to celebrate my birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. The cocktail list was extensive and each cocktail had a story and the bartenders were happy to make any cocktail of your choice. The setting is beautifully Art Deco and with so much history. We were only going to stay for one drink but stayed for so much longer… The atmosphere was so relaxing especially when Michael played the piano and sang. It made it the perfect birthday and I felt very special. 5 stars to the whole team at The American Bar & thank you!"
