"The Connaught Martini was one of the first drinks to go on. Now in its 16th year, Connaught’s signature Martini has not only been a menu mainstay, but the accompanying tableside cocktail service — a choreographed ceremony performed from their famed glossy black Martini trolley — has cultivated its own legend in bar and hospitality circles. The Connaught Bar, known for its attention to detail, impeccable service, and fresh take on craft cocktails with a nod to the classics, has amassed an impressive array of awards since opening, including multiple Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards for the bar itself, as well as most recently International Bartender of the Year and International Bar Mentor in 2023 for staff members Giorgio Bargiani and Perrone, respectively. The venue has also won World’s Best Bar and Best Bar in Europe two years in a row as part of World’s 50 Best, and recently earned Best International Hotel Bar on Food & Wine’s list of 2024 Global Tastemakers." - Prairie Rose
"The Connaught Bar, located within the historic Connaught Hotel in London, is renowned for its classic yet modern design, featuring overstuffed leather chaises, soft lighting, and Deco-esque lines reminiscent of Gatsby glamour. Opened in 2008, it offers a cutting-edge cocktail list curated by the director of mixology, Agostino Perrone, along with his team. The bar is famous for its personalized cocktail experiences and theatrical presentations, such as the iconic Connaught Martini served from a martini trolley."
"Lively conversations reverberate through the Connaught as members of the bar team bounce from table to table, greeting guests and walking them through the drink menu. The scene feels like it’s played out countless times since the bar’s namesake hotel opened over a century ago, but in fact the Connaught Bar only served its first drink in 2008. And that’s exactly how the team intended it. It’s a venue that seamlessly blends old and new, paying homage to the historic bars that came before it, while taking an innovative approach to cocktails. The cocktail program, overseen by director of mixology Ago Perrone, offers one of the most unique experiences around." - Sean Flynn
