Mandarin Bar (at Mandarin Oriental)

With a contemporary design and vibrant atmosphere, The Mandarin Bar is one of London's most popular nightspots. Centred around a rectangular marble-topped bar designed to look like a catwalk, the chic interior offers a mix of furnishings including brown leather armchairs, glass tables and high backed bar stools. Serving a choice of vintage and non-vintage champagnes and wines, spirits and soft drinks, the bar also offers a long menu of classic and contemporary cocktails. If you’d like something to eat whilst you drink, there's a selection of delicious Asian-inspired bar snacks including Crispy Dim Sum with chilli and soy sauce, and Smoked Salmon Naan Bread. In addition to this, the walls are lined in beige silk and the glass cases display handcrafted cocktail glasses. It is a stylish space that’s perfect for leisurely daytime meetings, pre-dinner aperitifs and post-dinner drinks.
