Mews of Mayfair Bar

With its great smoker-friendly courtyard setting & an interior that appeals to fans of chi-chi modern baroque (twirly chandeliers, Queen Anne chairs, buttoned leather benches & spirit bottles housed behind antique picture frames), Mews of Mayfair’s cocktail bar draws a stylish crowd who really appreciate its well-made signature drinks: Blunderbuss aims to blow your head off with its mix of tangy fruit & absinthe, while an Italian Job (limoncello, Campari, passionfruit & ruby grapefruit juice) is a wonderfully refreshing summer sip. There’s an extensive wine list &, as is to be expected in the heart of Mayfair, pricey shampoo – 1995 Dom P will set you back £6,800 for a Methuselah (about £140 a glass).
