Paul Feig’s London: Dapper, Distinctive and Delicious

"Down a hidden alley off St. James’s Place inside DUKES Hotel, this small bar has been my happy place for almost 30 years. The whole staff is wonderful and they’re led by my hero and good friend, Alessandro Palazzi, the world’s greatest bartender; there’s nothing quite like a martini made tableside by Alessandro, especially if he’s pouring one made with my own Artingstall’s Brilliant London Dry Gin. It’s often hard to get a table because it’s become so popular and the number of people waiting in the lobby can be daunting, but Alessandro and the gang always give me a hero’s welcome and are kind enough to find me a seat — my reward for loyal years of service to the world’s best bartender and martini." - Edward Barsamian
