I called in to the bar alone on a very cold afternoon in February this year on spec and not really dressed for the occasion for a bar of such elegance. I was interested to see what it would be like in the bar but expected to be told I was not suitably dressed. However, it was a warm welcome... More

During my stay at Claridge's we would go into the bar on our return from being out in the evening. I was blown away by the warm atmosphere and the staff's attention. A perfect balance of being there and efficient and also knowing when to leave you alone. On the second evening we had the pleasure of sitting at the... More

Visited here on Friday 8th March around 6pm and the place was heaving with activity. Although exceptionally busy, the large number of staff helped to ensure that every patron quickly had a drink. We tried the classic champagne cocktail, a personal favourite, and it was the best I've tried. Lucky enough to get seated rather quickly behind the fireplace in... More

I recently went to Claridge's bar with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived the bar was buzzing with excitement and busy. We were greeted almost straight away by a very friendly member of staff who advised us that it would be a bit of a wait for a table. We were offered a menu to pick the... More

Needing a venue for a quick Mayfair business lunchtime meeting we chose the bar at Claridges. We were pleased to see that all the essentials of this timeless establishment are still intact and being carried forward with a capable young brigade of serving staff. A personable welcome, quality spirits and champagnes alongside a varied and eclectic selection of bar foods... More

Seen the hotel on TV and gave it a go. Very buzzing bar but not what you'd expect after seeing the documentary on BBC, great atmosphere but too crowded. People standing like in a pub - very crowded, no table available. When we got through the masses to order, the barman told us he had no glasses and we had... More

Dear "Jason M", Thank you for taking the time to review Claridge's Bar and I am sorry that you left unimpressed. It is true that December is our busiest month and regrettably were are unable to accomodate all our guests at a table immediately.

Claridges is nothing short of an institution and we went to the bar for snacks and drinks whilst in London. To have afternoon tea there is a month waiting list !!, so the Bar it was and we had a lovely 2 hours soaking up the atmosphere with tea, and drinks. Wonderful and would thoroughly recommend it to all.
