Today we raise a glass to the Martini.⁠

For generations, this iconic cocktail has been a fixture of great bars around the world. As we celebrate National Martini Day today and World Martini Day tomorrow, we’ll be marking the occasion at The American Bar.⁠

Classic, elegant and always worth returning to. 🍸

The sun’s out, the courtyard’s open, and London’s looking very good this week.⁠

From morning coffee to late afternoon cocktails, The American Bar courtyard is the perfect place to spend a few hours in the sun.⁠

With warmer days ahead, we’ll save you a seat.
