Voted best international hotel bar and for good reason. Every drink is immaculately prepared, delicious and not served, but outrightly presented by an attentive staff . Menu changes often.

Rebecca Mazza

The first time I was here I agreed it is the best bar in the world, but my second trip the next day proved it is all a gimmick with no substance. But I still love the Lego elephant

Ross WS

With a dozen staff leaving after last year’s top-spot in World's Top 50, Artesian’s fall from grace proves it’s the team, not the four walls, that make for excellence in hospitality .

Janice Chow

Very sophisticated cocktails , around £20 per cocktails . I came here to try the Salvador Dali selection, served in an ant sculpture , a girly selection if you are looking for something almond based.

Catherine Klaffer

The Artesian is stunning,both in décor,service, attention to detail and ambience.A very elegant place to meet for an aperitif before moving through to Roux at the Landaux or a solo beverage and relax

Simone Bini

Ranked 1st best bar in the world, in 2014 for the third consecutive year for a lot of good reasons! Amazing cocktails (must try the Camouflage), great staff and a lot more more! Great setting too

Neli Parchik

Definitely some of the most creative cocktails in London - and a spectacular presentation of each one. The current menu is inspired by the works of Salvador Dali ✌????️

Tobias Otte

Amazing experience. No booking , show up and wait to get seated. The 'Magician' was good but you might want to tell what you like to get a cocktail recommendation. The service is extraordinary.

Dmitry Bokov

This place is not for mojito or sex on the beach lovers. This is true cocktail bar 3 years years in a row acknowledged as the best cocktail bar on the world. Highly recommended

bayjun

Amongst the array of cocktails , 'amaranth' shines as the pinnacle choice, boasting a tantalizing blend that elegantly marries creamy textures with the exquisite essence of cognac . A must try

Becherovka Voyager

The new cocktail menu at the “Cocktail Bar of the Year” and “Best Hotel Bar ,” is a one of a kind experience. Get a “Reality Czech,” to experience a buzz with spritzes of Becherovka, and fruity notes.

Anna Protopsalti

No1 bar in World’s 50 Best Bars list for 3year in a row!Amazing cocktails ,great and cool atmosphere and high quality service.

Ashley Chan

Showy cocktails that play with the theme of ‘Perception’. Expect intriguingly-presented cocktails . Try the Mind Your Step or the Cocoon. The place is modern, grand and buzzing.

Kenney Marlatt

Many call the Artesian the best bar in the world. With impressive, unusual cocktails and top-notch service in a beautiful setting, it is hard to argue. Order The Camouflage.

Yakaday Koroma

One of the the best bars in London their cocktail list has been curated in such a unique way. Definitely worth a visit

Sergey Prodanov

Very nice and cozy bar inside famous hotel . Very good cocktails

SSK

One of the best if not the best cocktail bars in London. Quirky cocktails in unexpected settings. Pricey but good to impress a date or for drinks with clients.

Nasos Efstathiadis

a really amazing list of drinks and cocktails , which will satisfy most -if not all- of your wishes. Bartending is of really top quality...!

Dmitry Witman

They say (Drinks intl) that this is the best bar in the world. Well , the drinks are certainly good, but atmosphere of a hotel bar with random people coming in having no idea of what a good cocktail is

Andrea Campi

Really nice cocktail bar , drinks are delicious and very creative. Looks very posh but it's not stuffy at all. Never disappoints.

AmateurConcierge

The magician was delicious and surprising. Digidiva (pictured) had beautiful presentation

Ji&V Gupta

Excellent, inventive cocktails , beautifully presented. And the service was wonderful

Mr. MaGiC K

Beautiful ambiance, you should try their Sliders , dumplings and the Arabic Mezzah Platter! Amazing!

Jacob Briars

Amazing bar team, some of the best in the world. Try the classic Daiquiri : Bacardi rum , fresh lime , icy cold, or the Piña Colada . Amazing service

Nino Kukhalashvili

Very nice place to hang out with friends, delicious wine and great signature cocktails . Very attentive service .

Yiling Ding

Delicious, innovative cocktails . Good mocktails as well . Lovely ambiance.

Tanya Denmark

The chameleon crystals and always print the myth are great cocktails and are served unusually

Bradley Kay

Overpriced but you won't care. Lots of flair and unusual ingredients, amazing atmosphere. Overhyped but manages to justify itself.

Jon Yang

I love this bar . Come here everytime I'm in London. The drinks change but they're always unique and delicious.

Pawel Chrzan

Variety of drinks and insightfulness! Honestly the best bar in the world - once you get in though... The queue system awfully annoying!

BarChick

This hotel bar has thought of everything to make a girl weak at the knees; flower scented water, butterflies, plush purple seating, some seriously good cocktails , and great service Read more

AmateurConcierge

Still great cocktails , but the elaborate presentations are no more. A bit more casual these days

Agnès Darricau

You've got to try Legrandpenis #saltybutsweet, ask for Stéphane at the bar ! ;)

Derek Morrin

Excellent cocktails , if you're wondering what the cocktail with the pillow/balloon is, it's the Weekend Lover

Andy Kanenas

Great cocktails and good ambience (for a hotel ).

Yana Kalmykova

Great cocktails , friendly bartenders , fancy place

Graham Way

Very stylish , beautiful interior and some of the most weird, wonderful and exciting drinks!

Kevin Huber

Number 1 bar in the world? Maybe not. Ungodly expensive but the cocktails are really good and unique

Loic Landry

Here is what a ordered there. Very much Yummy. Try it out.

Jason Coppin

What a fabulous spot, as Merlin says, one of the best! Girl from Ipanema is pure creative and bliss in a glass. Wonderful place, will be back again soon...

Bogdan Zadorozhny

Excellent and imaginative cocktails , friendly service and vibe. Definitely a thumbs-up.

BarChick

If a packet of McCoy’s and a pint normally satisfies your needs then upgrade to a cocktail at the Artesian and endless crisps will be all yours (at more of a fee). Read more

Lavinia Monroe

Mindblowing cocktails and extremely good service

Genie Amai

Ask Rudi to serve you the Guilty Pleasures - though sweet, it is so good you will get high by the time you finish it.

Mike

The first cocktail bar in the world !!! AMAZING / невероятный ))
