Minutes from Green Park and Green Park station. Neighboring the classic Dukes lounge. The service is hit or miss. But, it's an comfortable bar and lounge with an odd American theme of hats and ties hanging from the roof. On a nice day the outside seating is a highlight.

Good hidden little gem, friendly staff and good chablis. Great ambiance with an appetising menu.

I loved this bar...very cozy and comfortable without being pretentious. I now have to try every Cocktail of the Month because the Georgiana was fabulous. The courtyard at The Stafford was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Perfect for cocktails or cigars. The bar menu looked yummy. A 12.5% service charge us added to your bill.

A fantastic spot, with outdoor courtyard for times like this heatwave and an eclectic and buzzing indoors balancing elegance and quirkiness. Greatly inventive drinks.

After downing a Carrie Bradshaw-style cocktail at the chill subterranean Friendly Society (review:…read morehttps://yelp.to/4zJuovAN4J), Jamie W. and I were way too intimidated to face the manly crowd in front of Compton's. We went in the opposite direction on Rupert Street and found this inviting courtyard bar. It's marketed as a gay bar but... The clientele was more mixed than gay. Hey, it wasn't a big deal to us. Especially as we sauntered to the bar bathed in pink and royal blue dayglow. Boys bellying up to the bar. Oh yeah, we home. The print was really small in their comprehensive cocktail menu, but that didn't stop us from ordering more libations. Stop judging us. Jamie went for the £12.50 Margarita, and I continued my Cosmopolitan streak with their £12 one (photo: https://yelp.to/RsyQWeRD5R). We went back into the courtyard to find a table. The leafy terrace and strings of white light were quite inviting, and we ended up hanging out in this sanctuary until they closed at 11PM. Cool. DRINKS - 4 stars...they did the trick AMBIANCE - 5 stars...the courtyard was loverly SERVICE - 4 stars...efficient bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...a nice way to end our first night in London RELATED - Exploring London?

It gets dull quickly especially right before they close so be prepared to watch for open seats or stand, which is not the worse so you can dance a bit to the great playlist.
