our review

'One of the world's great hotel bars, the American Bar continues to evoke its inspiring atmosphere of timeless elegance. With its electric blue and gold chairs, and constant buzz, the American Bar retains the style of the golden age of cocktails in the 1920's. Bar Manager, Daniel Baernreuther, takes up the position held by legendary bartenders Ada 'Coley' Coleman and Harry Craddock, author of The Savoy Cocktail Book. All cocktails, both classic and American, are made with the finest spirits, an imaginative twist and a passion for perfection. To complete the intimate yet vibrant ambience, the bar features a live pianist seven days a week, playing classic American Jazz. The American Bar operates a no reservations policy.'

TimeOut

TimeOut - 4/5

Wednesday, November 03, 2010 - Traditionalists will be soothed by the white ceiling and sleek curves of the bar, the art deco mirrors and fittings, the monochrome portraits and the gleaming piano...The cocktails are excellent and executed with all the elegance you'd expect for 14 quid a pop. Thing is, with so many London bars now manned by some of the world's best mixologists, it's no longer enough to rely solely on the quality of the drinks. A revamp of the American Bar must pay homage to the past, but it seems to be stuck there.
