Montgomery Place

A dark, slinky bar, with low lighting, black leather banquettes and glam staff. Any bar that takes its inspiration from the likes of the Rat Pack and Hemingway (with a soundtrack to match) is setting the standard pretty high, but the cocktails here pass with flying colours. A watermelon fizz was a fabulously long and refreshing non-alcoholic option, while a rio bravo (fresh ginger mashed with almond syrup and shaken with lime and Sagatiba Pura cachaça, plus a lick of orange, £8) sorted the men from the boys. Substantial snacks are also worth ordering. Staff may look trendier-than-thou but are friendly and professional. A class act.

What a disappointment!
Montgomery Place is rated by some websites as one of the best places in London for cocktails… after two incorrectly placed orders and a frustrating wait, I most strongly disagree.
A few days back I visited the venue to see what everyone was raving about. I ordered a Vodka Martini with an olive. Not only did I have to pay for my drink before it was prepared, but the young waitress, who obviously hadn't a clue about cocktails, served it to me with a 'twist'. What would James Bond say to that?!?!?
So I sent it back and tried again, this time making sure to pronounce each word clearly: a Vodka Martini with an olive. On second try the waitress gave me a 'Dirty Martini' and I gave up.
I would certainly not recommend this place for cocktails at all.
Been there on a Saturday on a booked table for 10 with my friends. The staff was effective and friendly (Giuseppe was brilliant)! and the cool music and ambiance was what I was looking for. Creative drinks and tasty food made my night!
