ABar Rooftop at The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair is a stylish new bar that adds a fresh dimension to London's vibrant bar scene. Perched atop the hotel, this 50-seat bar and outdoor terrace offers breathtaking panoramic views across Mayfair to the London Eye, Hampstead Heath, and beyond. The intimate, exclusive setting provides guests with an unforgettable experience of the city skyline.
The cocktail menu at ABar Rooftop takes a creative approach to the classics, blending unique flavours with seasonal ingredients inspired by London’s ever-changing weather. Divided into four sections—Haru (spring), Natsu (summer), Aki (autumn), and Fuyu (winter)—the drinks highlight the city’s dynamic energy and seasonal transitions. Signature serves include the ‘Artichoke Thyme’, a sophisticated twist on the Old Fashioned, and the ‘Fig & Yuzu’, a zesty variation of the White Negroni. Each cocktail captures the essence of the seasons, with ingredients like roasted artichoke, Yuzushu, and jasmine liqueur delivering unexpected yet harmonious flavours.
Curated by renowned chef Akira Back, the menu offers an enticing selection of light dishes, including miso niçoise salad, grilled salmon poke bowls, and Wagyu burgers for lunch. In the evening, guests can indulge in savoury sushi tacos, new style sashimi, and caviar, perfect for a refined dining experience that complements the unique cocktails.
The bar’s interior design exudes sophistication and ethereal charm, featuring a colour palette of sky blues, champagne tones, and amber hues. A stunning chandelier inspired by clouds anchors the space, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of London’s most iconic landmarks. Guests arrive via a private lift, adding an exclusive touch to the experience.
ABar Rooftop is open daily from midday to midnight, with extended hours until 1am on weekends. Smooth live DJ performances enhance the atmosphere from Thursday to Saturday, making this rooftop bar the perfect spot for an unforgettable evening in London.
