The Essential London Cocktail Bars

"The re-vamped, new version of Dandelyan Bar by Ryan Chetiyawardana. With a cocktail menu built around five proprietary ingredients, including a green sauce liqueur; oyster honey; and an iteration of curaçao made from pig blood, it’s another testament to Chetiyawardana’s ability to combine seriousness with sparkle." - Emma Hughes, Anna Sulan Masing, Richard Godwin

"This botanical bar that crowns the Mondrian's Sea Containers on the Thames is stewarded by mixologist of the moment, Ryan Chetiyawardana. Besides his innovative cocktails—many made with high-tech techniques all his own—the Tom Dixon-designed space is plushly outfitted, and there are unparalleled views of the Thames both on the top floor of the hotel, and downstairs."

Whilst staying at Sea Containers, I visited Lyaness for a pre-dinner drink. The bar is beautiful, with a luxurious and opulent feel to it. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and were happy to offer advice on the rather perplexing cocktail menu. The cocktails at Lyaness were quite experimental, so if you're after something outside of the 'norm', you'll certainly find it here. They also do a wide range of other drinks if you didn't fancy a cocktail. The prices are on the heavy side, but for the location, service and the quality of the drinks, I think it's worth the price.

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. the staff are so lovely , we spoke to 4 different staff members in total and they were all so kind and attentive. we asked to move seats and they happily moved us, they gave us 2 complimentary espresso martinis when we arrived and then gave us two complimentary cocktails to go as it was my birthday (which by the way was the nicest cocktail i’ve ever had). I didn’t like one of the cocktails i ordered and they happily swapped it for a sex on the beach (my fav) and didn’t charge us for the original cocktail which was so lovely of them to do. Overall this is the best customer service i’ve ever experienced so it’s definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful ambience, amazing drinks. Superior service provided by the friendliest staff we have encountered during our stay in London, and that includes visits to two other five-star hotels. Sea Containers and Lyaness are now our favorites!

Great cocktail spot by the Thames with views on St Paul’s Cathedral. The bar has an extensive menu of non-traditional cocktails, so definitely inventive and fun. The ambiance is quiet, modern and spacious. Waiters were very friendly too. Average price per drink around £20, but would say it’s worth it!

The atmosphere was excellent, and the service extraordinary. The food was good. As a cocktail enthusiast, I appreciated the creativity behind the unique cocktails made with rare and exclusive ingredients. We tried four cocktails—two were exceptional, with a perfect balance of flavours and originality. The other two, while not as bold, might appeal more to other palates.

A truly excellent bar, perfect for a cold winter evening - comfortable interiors and fantastic view of the river. The cocktail menu was varied and offered multiple options to go boozeless, my favourite being the Kentakki Fried Cocktail. The snack options were also great, especially the Sea Bass Ceviche Taco.

What an absolutely amazing bar. Our third visit and every time is a delight. We WERE going to walk to the National Portrait Gallery but when we walked past Lyan-ess we saw open seats and decided to change our plans. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some of the best cocktail programs in the world. Don’t come here to order a Jack and Coke, come to experience some of the fine offerings on the cocktail menu. Mind bendingly delicious. And the staff were all amazing and friendly and we got to know the bar staff over our short time there. Also, the fries are never to be missed!
