Oh The Stafford, what a hotel you are. I’m not sure what it is but there’s something about “old London” which the new and modern hotels can never seem to replicate. These old timers evoke sophistication, have so much history and so effortlessly impress – you won’t find anything in London like The Stafford and more importantly, The American Bar. A hidden gem nestled deep within the luxurious area of St James’s with its own terrace, charm and some of the best classic cocktails in London.
Fabulous cocktail bar. Great drinks menu and spectacular looking cocktails. Service was amazing too. We didn’t book but got a seat on a Friday evening. Lovely atmosphere.
The American Bar at The Stafford is a unique and charming venue that offers a truly memorable drinking experience. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to a world of aviation-themed elegance, with well-crafted interiors that are both stylish and nostalgic. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, with intricate finishes and cleverly designed spaces. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is another highlight of this bar. They are always on hand to offer recommendations and make you feel welcome, no matter what your drink of choice may be. The drinks themselves are expertly crafted and delicious, with a range of classic and contemporary options to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or a more adventurous drink, the bar has you covered. However, it's worth noting that the cost of the drinks at The American Bar can be on the higher end. While this is to be expected in a venue of this quality and reputation, it may deter some from making frequent visits. Additionally, the bar can be a little difficult to find, especially for those unfamiliar with the hotel. However, this is perhaps a small price to pay for the pleasant experience offered by The American Bar.
