The May Fair Bar
Stratton Street, London, W1J 8LT
The May Fair Bar sits at the heart of The May Fair Hotel, Mayfair, a short walk from Berkeley Square.

What's On
A SPLASH OF SUMMER
At The May Fair Bar, a single sip becomes an invitation to travel. Join us this summer and experience our brand-new cocktail menu trace a path through wild places; the crisp Nordic forests of Iceland, the warm and vibrant rhythms of the Dominican Republic, the tranquil English countryside at dusk. Each drink is a destination in itself, shaped by premium spirits and house-made ingredients to bring those landscapes to life in the glass.
Available 13th July – 12th September

CHAMPAGNE, PLEASE
Picture a bar in 1920s Mayfair: velvet lounges, clinking glasses, and an unmistakable air of glamour. Our Champagne trolley brings a touch of that timeless era to your table, offering the Champagne of the week, or perhaps surprise spritz crafted on the spot by our mixologist. After all, every moment deserves a little celebration. No special occasion needed.
The Travel Edition
The Travel Edition is the concept behind The May Fair Bar. A cocktail and dining programme inspired by the flavours, traditions and ingredients of places around the world. One of the greatest powers of taste is its ability to transport us, to take us places we've dreamt of visiting or remember with fondness. Each menu draws on a different destination to do just that.
