The Savoy Beaufort Bar
Sometimes, nothing else than sheer luxury will do when you want to impress your date. And what says luxury better than The Savoy?
Now, most run of the mill punters will think of The American Bar when you say the words ‘Savoy’ and ‘bar’ together. But if you want romance, if you want real luxury, if you want intimacy, if you want entertainment, then say the words ‘The Beaufort Bar.’ You might also want to say “The American Bar? That’s just for tourists…” to make yourself sound extra knowledgeable.
Fittingly for a bar built on the hotel’s original cabaret stage, the Beaufort Bar has a deliciously decadent art deco feel that features £38,000 worth of glorious gold leaf.
Drinks are frighteningly expensive too, but excellent. There’s a sublime choice of vintage and non-vintage champagne available by the glass or bottle and a small but truly excellent cocktail list with character cocktails such The Blue Angel, named in honour of Marlene Deitrich and Ol’ Blue Eyes named in honour of Frank Sinatra.
But what really sets the Savoy’s Beaufort Bar apart as one of the best romantic bars in London is the live entertainment. Every evening you’ll find live music from both renowned and up and coming talent. But if you’re looking for something really special, book a table for one of the monthly cabaret or burlesque evenings and transport you and your date back to a forgotten era of ravishing romance.
