Bar 45

Open very late for those dining at Wolfgang Puck’s Park Lane steakhouse, Cut, the restaurant’s destination Bar 45 is a Manhattan-style mezzanine for the money-no-object Mayfair set – deep pockets are needed here. Try faultlessly executed & attractively presented aviation violette (Bombay Sapphire, crème de violette & maraschino) or smoke & mirrors (lapsang souchong-infused single malt whisky, Drambuie, Luxardo Cherry Morlacco liqueur & lemon). Also expect a wide range of quality bourbons, malts & beers from £7, plus snacks including mini Kobe beef sliders & Reuben sandwiches – all served in a space that feels like the sort of glamorous, woody/leathery railroad buffet cars featured in Hollywood films starring Cary Grant. With Champagne from £82 & an anteroom/snug called ‘the nook’, Bar 45 is definitely not your average post-work default option.
