Step into Dukes Bar, a clubby St James's institution tucked inside the hotel. Watch your martini mixed tableside from the trolley, sip a strong, citrus-forward pour, and mind the house rule: two drinks, no more.

Full description

Dukes Bar occupies a discreet corner of the Dukes London hotel and has long been known for its theatrical martini service, wheeled to the table and mixed to order with citrus reportedly sourced with particular care. It's a classic, old-school London hotel bar experience, favoured by regulars who return specifically for the ritual and the strong pours.

Service quality draws mixed reactions in reviews, though the drinks themselves are consistently praised.
