Amaro Bar

Description

A polished neighbourhood hideaway on Kensington High Street, Amaro pairs five‑star finesse with an intimate, contemporary room. A black‑granite counter anchors the space, backed by gleaming glass shelving that shows off an extensive spirits collection, including vintage bottles. Low, flattering light and smart, minimal décor keep the focus on the craft in the glass, while a handful of tables (roughly thirty covers in total) make it a cosy spot for date‑night martinis or a well‑made nightcap.

The bar’s USP is classic cocktails reimagined with modern technique and immaculate balance, plus an exceptional vintage program (think decade‑stamped Martinis and Boulevardiers for the true connoisseur). Led by founder Elon Soddu - formerly head mixologist across The Savoy’s bars and ex‑head bartender at the Beaufort Bar - the team brings hotel‑bar precision to a neighbourhood setting. Recognition has followed: Amaro is featured in 50 Best Discovery and ranked among the UK’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars, placing high in the 2025 list thanks to its refined drinks and hospitality.
