The Maybourne Bar

This place is cool. The drinks are affordable and very refreshing. I can't explain the vibes, but I like it. The staff is very professional and kind. I definitely recommend this place.

My husband, myself and some friends came here for the first time on a Saturday night before heading to dinner (Christmas weekend), around 5:30. The bar is immediately located to your left as soon as you walk thru the front door of the hotel. Right off the bat, you notice how quaint and chic the bar is! The Maybourne has a few seats at the bar and the rest are 2-4 seater tables. 5/5: Service was perfection! The waiter quickly provided water and a nut mix for the table. The staff was also very kind enough to take a few pictures for us as well! 4/5: The drinks were quite good! The menu is unique as well, something for everyone; and they even manually hand stamp your ice cube with the Maybourne logo! *SKYFALL Botanical. Floral. Crisp. $25...Grey Goose * Botanist Gin * Lillet Blanc... My husband loved his drink and normally doesn't go for drinks that have Gin in them. *CROUCHING TIGER Floral. Clean. Refreshing. $25...Kaoliang * ES Soka * Jasmine Syrup * Lime * Aloe Air... I ordered the Crouching Tiger; I wouldn't order this one again only for the sake that the Lime was a bit tart for me. Something about this drink also reminded me of something I had in college (which gave me some type of PTSD!, go figure and not to any fault of the bartender). *LEGENDARY BIRD Silky. Tropical. Effervescent. $27...Appleton 8yr * Campari * Clarified Lime & Pineapple * Champagne * Whey... Sweet and delicious! Overall, despite the cost; I would definitely return!

I recall that the hotel bar when it was owned by the Montage was closer to the restaurant and far more spacious and refined. Now the bar is near the reception counter, much smaller, cramped and  looking rather makeshift and provisional.  The friendly, convivial bar manager mentioned that the original bar was being renovated, and that the present space is temporary.  But I'm wondering why not have retained the old Montage Bar when it was perfectly fine, and the Maybourne would have a sophisticated, working bar immediately upon taking over?  Anyway, hope that the new, renovated Maybourne bar will be at least as chic as the one that was the Montage bar.  Started by ordering Roku Japanese Gin with its own proprietary blend of herbs which was refreshing, rich in velvety mouthfeel, smooth, mellow sweetness, complementary aromatic fragrances. The crystal clear cube of ice added to its look of purity.   One can order from the restaurant menu: 1) Their vaunted Fried Chicken is breast meat chicken "fingers". Breast meat, which is often dry and mealy, is moist from brining or a light marinade.  "13 spice blend" was not particularly evident. Covered in crispy Japanese Panko bread crumbs, fried, drizzled with what seems like aged Aceto Balsamico & finely chopped chives. Accompanying agrodolce emulsified sauce on the side. Not bad for chicken fingers, but at $28 a pop, it must help pay for the $450 million purchase price paid by Maybourne.  2) Marquis de Chocolat: " with sour cherry ice cream, whipped amaretto ganache, smoked bitter chocolate sauce". Nice sweet-sour combination of fruity, chocolatey, creamy, almond. Pretty presentation for $18. There is even a pairing of Niepoort 'LBV' Ruby Port 2017 for $13, but I thought sweet on sweet was too much for me that night.  There is a cramped, claustrophobic　feeling to this Maybourne bar which I hope will change with the opening of the new bar.  Also, the pre-Pandemic Montage had well seated bartenders who had a more confident, hail-fellow-well-met demeanor that was more engaging. As the new Maybourne staff matures, perhaps there will be a more open, warm hospitality that will be formed. The manager is a good start.  3+ stars

Very nice little bar in this gorgeous hidden gem of a hotel in BH. We were looking for somewhere to grab a drink and sit for an hour and saw good reviews of the drinks here. It did not disappoint! Small little lounge area - maybe 12 small tables and a bar. A mix of people meeting to do business and just have a drink on a Thursday late afternoon. Excellent drinks and nice atmosphere. Service was very nice. Hotel looks amazing!

The Maybourne is one of my favorite hotels in Beverly Hills because of its elegant ambiance and friendly service. The bartenders here make every cocktail with careful skill and the food is tasty. I love watching them "stamp" the ice cubes when sitting at the bar and enjoy their complimentary bar snacks as well.

Mmmm... This bar is now at the top of my list when going to LA. My boyfriend and I were underwhelmed by the decor when we first walked in because the photos on their website hype it up way more than what it actually is aesthetically. But I convinced him to go again because I gauge a place on cocktail quality and service. Surroundings do somewhat play into a space, but how you're treated and the quality of what you are purchasing is much more key. We loved it and our favorite bartender is a complete joy. We went in the afternoon and then again late night. From wine to creative concoctions with many types of liquor, we were never disappointed. Plan to go back.

The Montage is now the Maybourne and the bar has moved closer to the lobby. Nonetheless, its a great place to grab a drink before a b'ness event like I did. They have a good selection of mezcals, and the staff is friendly & warm. I have also been here for an after dinner drink and the experience was positive. If you are in the heart of BH on Canon, do yourself and stop by the Maybourne Bar. You will not be disappointed.

The Maybourne Bar is newish and has been long awaited by residents and locals. It's located to the left, after you valet your Rolls, step inside the hotel main lobby and turn to the left. Must show Proof of Vaccinations card. It's decor is modern and classy. Limited booth seating and small travertine top tables with comfy leather seats. The menu is limited but impressively offers selections for picky dukes and duchesses ;) Service by the staff was professional, knowledgeable and cordial. I'm so glad I can literally walk downstairs from my condo suite and have something special. The bar has half a dozen seats, with cool sexy Buddha lounge music fills the air to seduce you into the mood of relaxation whether you're with a date or flying solo ...santé!

Most hotel bars are just meh. This bar is incredible. Beautiful decor supported by an excellent bar program. The bartenders know their stuff. The menu has a great selection of unique and well-balanced drinks, all built around an interesting theme. But the bartenders can definitely go off script and make a wide variety of cocktails for the discerning (or sometimes annoying) clientele. Will definitely be back.

This is the best bar in all of Los Angeles, bar none. It's classy, gorgeous, and the cocktails are incredibly crafted! It's very small and quiet, but has the subdued ambiance of a London bar. It's very European in the best way possible, and both the service and cocktails rival the best five-star bars I've found in Europe. A rare case in LA!

A lovely space to enjoy a cocktail in Beverly Hills, very attentive staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful.

One of my favorite hotel bars in La so lovely and the specialty drinks are impeccably done- so delicious and creative. The bar snacks are good specifically the fries are a must order. The service is very bad so so slow like even takes forever to get a menu ugh bummer. But love the ambiance here

Chris , the bartender makes the best espresso martini's I've ever had. Ask for "the whitney" it has baileys in it. We went here every night while we were in Los Angeles. The ambience and the lighting can't be beat. We will return!

Came here for some afternoon drinks. It wasn't that busy, but it picked up. Many different cocktail choices...some were a little too strong for my wife. I got a basil infused drink and it took a while to acquire the taste .

I had an awful experience in the spa while preparing for my massage. The waterfall shower was in a bad condition and when I turned it on, only scalding hot water came at me from all directions. It was incredibly painful and I stupidly tried to turn it off. I was screaming for help, not a soul in the spa to assist. I ran out of the room because my skin was on fire and I couldn't turn the water off. Again, no staff. I went with my towel to the empty lobby to look for help. Calling out for assistance. Finally a young man came out, saw my red face and skin, and only asked if I wanted him to call security. Security? My skin was painful to the touch, I thought I was going to pass out from the excessive heat from the scaling hot water, and I needed help. Not security. I had to cancel my massage because I couldn't have touch my skin to even dry myself. I couldn't put on my bra my skin was so burnt. I slipped into my linen dress and even that was painful. I was sobbing from shock and pain and the Maybourne did nothing to help me. They didn't even offer me a ride home. I left in tears and have yet to return for my massage. It was a gift as everybody I love knows how much I enjoyed the Montage spa days and massages. The Maybourne treated me poorly and I felt awful for the 3 women who were sent into the scalding shower to try to turn it off. Even they had trouble. The shower room flooded with hot water and I was in shock when leaving and going home. My neighbor saw me coming in and brought aloe Vera for my most obvious wounds. The Maybourne offered to comp my parking but I was not fit to drive. I called for an Uber, stood outside wearing nothing but my dress, wet, and holding back tears. Everything was better when it was The Montage. Especially the management. As one reviewer noted, we hope The Maybourne staff will mature into a more professional and customer oriented team. I was beyond upset by the painful experience and lack of response from the hotel. I should have sued them for the burns to my back, arms, and shoulders I sustained during the equipment failure. No response from the Maybourne was disappointing to say the least.

An absolutely beautiful, classy and hidden gem of a bar in Beverly Hills! The bar has a distinctly European feel. The drinks are extremely pricey, but worth it. The cocktails are exceptional and masterfully crafted.

Awesome bar and space. Great cocktails and service and hotel was special too. Will go back

Staff: 1/10 Drinks: 4/10 Ambience: 4/10 Service: ok Nut cups: 10/10 Overall I'll say it wasn't worth it to waste my time here... the hotel has nosedived...

One of the best bar experiences I've ever had in LA. Please find a reason to hang out near Rodeo so you can quench your thirst at this hidden gem. Karen is a the best and made sure we were taken care of so wonderfully when we stopped by on a slow afternoon. Vivian was such a great host and walked us through the menu and our numerous questions. She answered every single one of our curiosities without any complaints. Honestly, I can't even tell you what to order since we had so many different drinks that I can't remember (for some reason...) and we loved each and every one of them. Don't miss out on this hidden gem tucked away in Beverly Hills. You won't regret swinging by! Also, shoutout to the OG Thunderbolt crew!! Check out Thunderbolt in East LA if you haven't as well!!!!
