Glamour review the cocktails at The Beaufort Bar at The Savoy Hotel London

Beaufort Bar

This place literally oozes glamour like I’ve never seen before. Just perfect for the winter months when rooftop bars go into hibernation. The bar is completely decked out in gold and black, lit just by candle flames and the bar itself sits on a former cabaret stage – what’s more extra than that? While you take a few hours to decide which cocktail you want you can snuggle up in one of the sumptuous alcoves whilst being serenaded by a glorious pianist and nibbling on bar snacks.

You are completely spoilt for choice when it comes to the cocktail menu. Each cocktail comes with a mini story which makes it even harder to decide. The first cocktail we chose was The Missing Shaker. This was inspired by the legendary bartender Harry Craddock who buried a cocktail shaker in the wall of The Savoy back in 1927 never to be found again. When served by the creative mixologists, they explain the story while constructing your drink in front of you (10/10 for multi-tasking), which really makes the experience memorable.

The next drink we chose was The Showgirl. Although the price is a whopping £50, it really is a showstopper, the presentation and the overall experience makes it worth the price. The Showgirl cocktail is inspired by Marilyn Monroe who took tea at The Savoy and wowed British journalists with her beauty, charm and quick wit at a press conference there. There is a reason behind each and every ingredient in the drink including the Dom Perignon and the roses – but I won't spoil it for you.

Ideal for getting to know a first date. The bar is so dark and sexy you could fancy anyone in there.

It might scare your bank account but it’s worth it for a special occasion.
