The Long Bar at the Sanderson

A Mecca for playboys & glamour pusses, The Long Bar at The Sanderson offers people-watching opportunities galore. By day, it’s a chilled-out affair, with billowing muslin curtains creating a private, almost celestial vibe; by night, the DJs hit the decks, the speakers begin to blare & the hordes arrive to preen & primp. Bag one of the coveted stools at the full-length, double-sided bar for a ringside seat. Martinis are the drink of choice here, especially those with an exotic twist: try the excellent Vesuvio (a mix of Ketel One Citroen Vodka & lychee liqueur, ginger, lemongrass cordial & slivers of fresh chilli) or the ultra-refreshing watermelon martini. Elegant bar bites are essentially classic sarnies done well: steak, club or smoked salmon & cream cheese, for instance.
