Awesome Cocktail bar in London. In the best Hotel The Browns. Great for pre or after dinner cocktail . Ask for Ronnie. Exceptional Mixologist . Let him wow you with super drink!

The Donovan Bar is The Best Cocktail Bar in Mayfair London with a World-class Team, The Best Martini Cocktail of London, a fantastic Cocktail Menu and a unique atmosphere full of class and style.

This is exactly the place that sums up the following quote, not mine "This is all so perfectly London: pricey , imperfect, exclusive, hard to gain entry to and something of a sitcom

Evening Standard

You'll find some excellent cakes , Victoria sponge, chocolate cake and Christmas cake (any two slices £8). To be enjoyed with Irish coffee (£14) or a glass of champagne (£14). Read more

You can throw a chicken bone from here and hit the Wolseley and Caprice so it’s just perfect for an aperitif before dinner . Read more

The cocktail list is pukka! Try the Modern Vesper MArtini or go seriously old school with the grandaddy of all cocktails - the Sazerac !

Bogdan Zadorozhny

Great selection of vintage spirits

Chucho S.

Good selection of cocktails . Bloody Mary was pretty good but I expected more out of a £15 cocktail .

Best bourbon sour in Mayfair!

Sit at the 'Naughty Table' surrounded by Terrance Donovan's saucier photos.

Cozy place but the food is disappointing and the tea room looks much better

Jackie Mason Was Dempster

Totally agree, the Donovan is amazing

Agatha

Staff was inattentive, hotel guests obviously took priority. my cocktail tasted like onion soup . what was so much cocktail onion was doing in my daiquiri

Agatha

Well not hard to gain entry to at all just an allegory, rest applies.

Agatha

Very disappointed with service at Donovan bar . I made a point about it and manager seemed rather offended. Seriously? For a £15 a cocktail place I am expecting, I am entitled to expect more

some of my favourite cocktails in London. The apricot martini is worth a try. It's pricey and more attractive on a cold winter evening with subdued lighting, but worth a visit on a special occasion. - Ann Griffiths

Great English traditional tea experience! Perfect atmosphere with classic interior, live piano and comfy couch. Recommend: Assan Gold tea with the tea set - 45£. A bit pricey but worth it. Enjoy! - NoMade InMongolia
