Donovan Bar at Brown's Hotel

The late fashion photographer Terence Donovan, whose iconic portraits line the walls, was the inspiration for Brown's Hotel's Donovan Bar. The biscuit, charcoal & white colour scheme incorporates a Bill Amberg-designed leather bar, behind which is an original Gothic stained-glass window. Cocktails are on the money – all £100 of it, should you specify a Chocolate Truffle Martini (48 hours notice needed). More frugal tastes might snap up a £14.00 signature Box Brownie, named after Donovan’s first ever camera & comprising Champagne & strawberries infused in Cointreau & lychee liqueur, or develop a taste for Scottish Widow – that’s red vermouth, whisky & ginger, not a cloak-wearing model for an Edinburgh-based financial institution. Short order snacks include Dorset crab, Potted shrimps or Brown's Hamburger Threesome
