The American Bar at The Stafford belongs to the great tradition of the American cocktail bars that became renowned in London and Paris during the 1920s and 30s, and remains one of the longest surviving American bars in London. Serving classics and signature cocktails, The American Bar is overseen by Bar Director, Benoit Provost and Director of Mixology, Salvatore Megna, whose creations, new and vintage, are a reference for cocktail lovers all over the world. Snacks, light bites and casual dining are the highlight in The American Bar. Executive Head Chef, Jozef Rogulski, has worked in collaboration with Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Michelin-Starred, Executive Chef at Northcote, on a menu inspired by the tastes and flavours of the USA – think BBQ ribs, jambalaya prawns and mac and cheese – transporting you across the Atlantic in one bite. Reservations can be made via our online booking system until 3pm, for dining only. After 3pm we operate on a walk-in, first come, first served basis. Kindly note from Monday 23rd September, The American Bar will operate an hourly minimum spend of £30.00 per person for non-residents seated in the courtyard from 12pm until 9pm. Dress code: Kindly note that the dress code for The American Bar is smart-casual. We respectfully request that sportswear, athletic trainers, shorts, or ripped jeans are not to be worn.
