MD's review of The Blue Bar at The Berkeley Hotel

Slick, seductive and tres chic. The Blue bar at the Berkeley really hits the spot for a trendy yet unpretentious experience. Its charm lies in its simplicity, with an interior that screams library bar with an uplift of feminine elegance and the dark lighting and chocolaty wood furniture finish the room off nicely. Service is professional yet surprisingly friendly and nothing seems to be too much trouble (including an accidentally spilt champagne cocktail, which was swiftly tidied away and replaced with another one without any fuss). Cocktails are the drink of the hour here and there is a vast selection ranging from contemporary exotic to good old classic. Prices are a little on the steep end of the market but the faultless service and rich atmosphere easily make up for it. If anything, you'll be quenching for another drink just to stay a little longer in this little haven away from bustling Knightsbridge. Definitely one to keep in mind for a post shopping spree drink.
