But first, a martini

Dress code: Although London forever strides ahead, elegance never goes out of style. So whilst there’s no strict rule book for our dress code, The Dorchester is very keen on the habit of dressing brilliantly. We kindly suggest no sportswear and wearing smart shorts only by day, not by night.
Guests: Adults only

All in the name
The Vesper Martini first starred in the James Bond novel, Casino Royale, differing from Bond’s usual martini in that it uses both gin and vodka instead of dry vermouth, and lemon peel instead of an olive.
Masters of the bar
Stepping into this atmospheric space reveals our award-winning team of cocktail alchemists, ready to fix up whatever your heart desires. Classic and experimental cocktails, concoctions from rare and forgotten recipes or just a glass of your ‘usual’.
Perfect pairings
When it comes to dining, further delights adorn our carefully curated menu. Think elegantly dressed rock oysters, crispy lobster tempura and tempting truffle pizzette.
A modern classic
Vesper Bar showcases strikingly beautiful, contemporary design from London’s interiors specialist, Martin Brudnizki. Inspired by the spirit and sophistication of the roaring thirties, the bar's playful, eye-catching atmosphere is simply a delight.
Shaken and stirred
Our welcoming bar team are ready to rustle up your drink of choice, including the more extraordinary creations on our ‘Stories’ menu.
Tucked away
Experience a night to remember at London’s latest destination bar. Tucked away in The Snug – an intimate space made entirely private by the swish of a tasselled curtain – you’ll enjoy the best of Vesper Bar’s cocktails and light bites in your own exclusive location.
