Inventive cocktails, unique snacks, and warm hospitality
"Getting tipsy in this warm, terracotta Mayfair lair—yes, it’s seductive enough to be classed as a lair—is a serious business. Die-hard classy Kwãnt converts sip beneath thriving foliage and bartenders in white jackets stand around the huge centrepiece counter, studiously crafting things that speak to the meaning of this spot’s name: unusual. Their inventive drinks are spoken about with the same kind of reverence usually reserved for art exhibitions, and sometimes the clever ingredient play results in a genius avocado and yuzu take on a margarita, while other cocktails have convinced us that artichokes need not apply to any of our future Negronis. Be prepared for shouting flavours, good and bad, but know that the glamour of the space never misses." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
"A later entry on the list at #47, forming part of London's roughly 20% share of the World's 50 Best Bars." - James Hansen
"A new downstairs bar by bartender Erik Lorincz—whose stewardship of the American Bar at The Savoy helped it top The World’s 50 Best Bars in 2017—is being built beneath the restaurant and is scheduled to open in April, after the main venue reopens. Lorincz and his team have been hands‑on with the fit‑out, spending significant time on site to shape the concept and visuals; the bar’s opening will follow the restaurant’s and is intended to complement the refurbished dining rooms." - James Hansen
Dominating the Pinnacle Guide’s inaugural one-pin list as part of a heavily UK-skewed showing, this London spot is highlighted among the British bars deemed ‘excellent’ in the new Michelin-style cocktail ranking. - Liv Kelly
