National Burger Day, The American Bar way. 🍔
From The Stafford Burger to our Mushroom Burger and American Bar Sliders, there’s more than one way to celebrate at The American Bar.
The only question is, which one are you ordering?

Making the most of the last of the summer sun.
From Champagne on the rooftop and V***e Clicquot in the courtyard, to Fruttini and Sunset Hour as the afternoon turns to evening, summer at The American Bar has given us plenty of reasons to stay outside a little longer.
With the final week of August upon us, we’re making the most of every last moment.

There’s history on every wall of The American Bar.
From police patches collected from across the United States to decades of caps, ties, pennants and mementoes left behind by guests, every piece has a story — and together they’ve become part of ours.
Take a closer look next time you visit. There’s always something you haven’t noticed before.

As the afternoon fades into evening, join us in The American Bar Courtyard for Sunset Hour.
From 4pm–7pm each day, enjoy V***e Clicquot paired with seasonal dishes including Lobster & Prawn Rolls and Truffle Fries with Parmesan. Whether you’re stopping by after work or settling in for a summer evening, it’s the perfect way to toast the season.

Today we raise a glass to the Martini.
For generations, this iconic cocktail has been a fixture of great bars around the world. As we celebrate National Martini Day today and World Martini Day tomorrow, we’ll be marking the occasion at The American Bar.
Classic, elegant and always worth returning to. 🍸

We’ve spoken about the Paloma a lot lately… now it’s time to show you how we make it.
With London hitting 30 degrees, Luigi, our Head Bartender, takes things out into the courtyard to make one of his favourite cocktails for a hot day.
Tequila, grapefruit, lime and plenty of ice — crisp, refreshing and best enjoyed in the sunshine at The American Bar.

The sun’s out, the courtyard’s open, and London’s looking very good this week.
From morning coffee to late afternoon cocktails, The American Bar courtyard is the perfect place to spend a few hours in the sun.
With warmer days ahead, we’ll save you a seat.

Now that May is here, the courtyard sets the scene for our new drinks menu, crafted alongside Enemigo Tequila. A considered selection of refreshing serves, perfectly suited to the warmer days ahead.
Do join us in the courtyard.
