A world-famous, Art Deco masterpiece defining five-star Mayfair glamour with its legendary tableside martini trolley and impeccable service.
Ordering Strategy
The bar operates a no-reservation policy for non-guests, so arrive close to opening (4 PM). The dress code is smart elegant—jackets are common. The martini trolley is a theatrical ritual you should not miss.
What to order
Connaught Martini
The bar's signature bespoke Dry Martini is a 'headline act' where the serve becomes a performance, arriving by trolley and poured into a bitters-adorned glass from overhead.
Black Truffle Pizza
Decadent bar food supplied by the hotel kitchens (Jean-Georges) that pairs perfectly with strong drinks.
Stem
A standout from the Stream menu, this complex creation features cognac infused with argan oil, Michter's rye whiskey, Acqua Bianca, and Persian cordial, finished with coriander bitters.
Club sandwich
Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.
