“The hotel bar which some say concocts one of the world’s best martinis,” – The New York Times

Tucked into the heart of St. James’s since 1908, DUKES Bar is a haven of classic cocktail artistry. Best known for its signature martinis, served with theatrical precision and unmatched elegance.

Frozen glasses, even colder spirits, and no ice - all ensuring the perfect flavour, letting you sip slowly and savour every moment.

Whether you’re unwinding after a meeting or marking a special moment, DUKES Bar offers an atmosphere that’s as intimate as it is iconic, where every pour is guided by tradition and craft.

Your very own DUKES Martini Experience awaits. 

Please note, the hotel is going through a refurbishment project which will see the hotel close its doors until the work is completed in Spring 2026. During this time, our famous DUKES Bar remains open, and Alessandro and his team very much look forward to welcoming guests to enjoy our iconic Martinis.
