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.

Enjoyed a cocktail here on Thursday before lunch at the Game Bird.
The selection was absolutely superb and the service excellent! I enjoyed the seasonal Negroni and it was divine! Amazing ambiance and staff. I will definitely return. Thank you!

We truly loved our cocktails and the fantastic service and atmosphere at the American Bar. Our server, the hostess and everyone we spoke to was amazing and we loved how friendly everyone was. The cocktails were fantastic and I was absolutely thrilled that they could make a gimlet for me as I've tried to find that everywhere! The atmosphere outside as well was stunning and we loved the beautiful flowers and decor in their patio area. We will definitely return!

This is such a fabulous bar! They have great ambiance and delicious cocktails. I always enjoy coming here for a martini.
It is a little more pricey, but that is expected at an upscale bar! Definitely worth going to.

Great bar!
Very cosy with a relaxed ambiance.
Drinks are a bit pricey, but cocktails have very unique recipes and taste wonderful, not to mention the presentation.
The staff are very polite, always with a smile and eager to help!
Will definitely return.

We wanted to go there just for a cup of coffee at lunch time and we couldn’t sat outside. We order something small to eat just so that we can sit in the very idyllic beautifully made backyard in the middle of mayfare. As I said before, the backyard is very nicely prepared, only a bit disturbed by temporary construction work on the next house (end of July 2019). We enjoyed the good food even if the waiter was exordinary slow.
But in general I can recommend this luxury bar/restaurant in mayfare.
