Vesper Bar

Description

Polished, playful and dripping in old-school glamour, Vesper Bar is The Dorchester’s ritzy cocktail destination on Park Lane, serving up movie‑star energy with a modern twist. Inspired by the legendary Vesper Martini and the hotel’s long-standing links to James Bond, the bar channels a glamorous 1930s aesthetic, complete with plush banquettes, shimmering gold ceilings and art‑laden walls. Designed by Martin Brudnizki, it feels instantly iconic - the kind of place where pre‑dinner drinks effortlessly turn into an evening affair.

When it comes to cocktails, Vesper Bar is as serious as it is stylish. The menu blends refined classics with contemporary creations, led by an award‑winning, predominantly female leadership team. Lucia Montanelli, bar manager and celebrated mixologist, brings precision, theatre and balance to every serve, while the bar team focus on reviving forgotten recipes alongside impeccably executed martinis. Expect perfectly chilled coupes, impeccable proportions and a calm confidence behind the bar that makes every order feel personal.

Complementing the drinks is a selection of elegant, globally inspired bar bites, ideal for pairing with a Vesper Martini or two. Vesper Bar sits within The Dorchester, an AA‑award‑winning hotel known for luxury and excellence, adding further prestige to the experience. Whether you’re settling in for sunset drinks overlooking Hyde Park or kicking off a glamorous night in Mayfair, this is cocktail drinking at its most timeless - shaken, not stirred.
