The American Bar at the Savoy is a must-go place on any weekend or weekday night. Whether you want to experience their amazing cocktails or just their super tasty snacks, whether you’re going solo or with friends and co-workers, this place won’t disappoint you.
Situated in the Savoy Hotel on the Strand, the bar is open everyday until midnight and
operates on a no reservations policy, which is rare for a bar that holds such a unique and prestigious place among London’s top Champagne bars, and venerated among the very best in its kind.
The bar, which just won the award of Best International Bar Team 2016 at Tales of the Cocktail, is very iconic for its late 19th century – early 20th century atmosphere that will make you feel like you’ve travelled through time back to 125 years ago, when the bar was founded. It’s iconic, yes, but it’s truly iconic and old, not just recently recreated to suit modern people’s tastes.
You will be able to choose your cocktail from a very extensive menu, organized according to different historical periods, categorized according to wine and spirits, and geographically presented on a vintage London map. Prices are not cheap, but goes without saying that you get value and quality- these cocktails are truly superlative.
You will sip your Louis Roederer Cristal (sold by the glass for £85) with jazz music in the background, and portraits of film stars on the walls, and you’ll be amazed to know that in that same room actress and singer Marlene Dietrich used to entertain regulars.
So, for a night out with friends or work colleagues, this is definitely a place not to miss. You can also just visit the place for a quick drink pre-theater or before a dinner at the Savoy restaurant a few steps away. Forget the pub, and experience greatness and opulence at a bar where stars used to shine.
