An artfully social bar where conversational cocktails are served alongside live jazz and Gerald’s Scarfe's collection of original and one-off paintings.
Cocktail recipes? I’ll give you a cocktail recipe. Take one boring old book, fill with a bunch of posh tweeds and celebrity attention-seekers and drop in a few pretentious ingredients no one’s ever heard of. Muddle with the superior sketches of a totally genius (and handsome) cartoonist et voilà – perfection on ice, shaken not stirred.
Cocktails have got layers, the bartenders here tell me. They’re full of secrets and surprises. So I’ve got a little surprise for you here, too. I’ve added a few layers of my own to this dust-gatherer of a book. A little Scarfination has improved many a dull tome.
Oh, I know I’ve got a bar named after me, blah blah. But a whole book of cocktails inspired by all the main people and events in recent history since the Millenium, and no one thought to celebrate little old me? No Gerald Martini? No fruity Scarfarita? No Scarfe Island Iced Tea or even a Bloody Scarfey? Well I’ll show you, the pen is mightier than the shaker.

Best bar I’ve ever been to!!! It’s 22-25 GBP for a cocktail but it’s worth it giving the atmosphere, the live music and the amazing service! It also comes with complimentary snacks. This place is Special, 10/10 recommend!!
One of our favourite cocktail bars in London! The atmosphere and ambiance are 10/10, super classy but not overdone. The cocktails are creative and well made. The menus are next level, so unique that we have purchased two. The service is quick and attentive. Highly recommend!
A charming bar with exquisite cocktails and live jazz music every night of the week. The theme is a cross between an old library and a whiskey lounge. Loved the decor, music, cocktails and bites. Food wise, I would recommend the raw tuna tacos and the savoury potato Mile-feuille.
Service and atmosphere is second to none, some walk in space is available if you go early during christmas period. However given by the fame of the hotel and the price charging, the quality of cocktail could be better. Especially the choice of ice, it melted too quick and not transparent enough and it affected the entire drink
Scarfes Bar is great! The service is great, they give you some snacks with your drinks. The drinks are so damn good, great refined combinations. Depending on what time you go there is live music as well. The atmosphere is incredible, and the interior decor is classy AF. There might be a line outside depending on the time you go.
