Duke's Bar is an iconic Mayfair cocktail destination, renowned for its legendary martinis and elegant atmosphere. Since 1908, the bar has been a staple in London’s social scene, offering a sophisticated setting where guests can enjoy expertly crafted drinks and unparalleled service. The menu features signature cocktails such as the Vesper Martini, made with gin, vodka, and Kina Lillet, as well as a range of classic and contemporary drinks. Admission to the bar is free; guests are welcome to stroll in during its open hours, 3:00 pm to 10:30 pm Monday through Saturday, with last orders taken at 10:00 pm. Dress code is smart‑casual. The bar welcomes guests aged 18 and over, but dogs are not allowed unless they are service animals. While the surrounding hotel is closed for refurbishment until spring 2026, the bar remains fully operational, guaranteeing that visitors can still enjoy its signature cocktails in a historic and luxurious setting.
