  • 5/5 Adriaan R. 1 year ago on Google • 236 reviews
    I had a wonderful time at Stables Bar, a cocktail bar in a hotel. The service was exceptional, the staff was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the Milestone Old Fashioned, which was served in an aromatic fume under a bell jar. The show effect by the waiter was fun and impressive. The cocktail was delicious and smooth, but also quite expensive at 19£ plus 12.5% service charge. However, it was worth it for the quality and the experience. I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion or a treat. I give it 5 stars.

    Best cocktail experience I have ever had. The decor, service and the attention to detail is of the highest quality. Anyone who likes cocktail bars should come here as an acid test of how it should be done. I will be coming back at any opportunity that I get.

    It is the 1st location where i liked 4 cocktails in a row, all different. Imagine that 2 weeks ago i had some cocktails in Burj Al Arab and i liked none…so that gotta count for something.

    The best cocktail bar in London. The bartender Angelo is an absolute legend and extremely accommodating, the host with most. We ordered two old fashioned and then asked us what our favorite spirits and flavours were and made two surprise drinks that were delicious. He is also entertained us with some very impressive cocktail acrobatics. Cant wait to go back again.

    Cozy, decadently decorated, intimate bar setting. The service was very personal. Angelo is a master mixologist and creates some of the most unique cocktails that taste as good as they look.

    One of my favorite bars in London! Tucked away in a hotel off a busy street, this bar is one that should not be missed. Delicious, handcrafted cocktails made by talented bartenders, and lovely customer service provided by Aswini, who was an absolute delight and pleasure to get to know during our multiple visits while in London! Will definitely be back!

    Very good and professional service. Very nice atmosphere and for anyone that likes to have privacy is the perfect place. At the end our server offered us complimentary drinks with real gold.

    Possibly one of the sweetest experiences I’ve had in London. The decor is exquisite - total equine chic immersion. But it’s the divine Angelo and Aswini that take it to the next level.. From the warm welcome, to designing bespoke cocktails, to taking us to forage for ingredients in the bar’s herb garden, it was very very special. It’s the most delicious experience imaginable - can’t recommend highly enough.

    Exceptional service and drinks selection. I’m not a cocktail person but I tried the “Gallop to Greatness” (great if you like spiced rum) and it was divine. The bar itself is beautiful and cosy - the theme is equestrian, for those who are fans of horses. Thanks to the bar manager, Angelo, for looking after us. PS. Just don’t ask him to unpeel a cucumber. 🤣

    What an incredible experience! Our waiter Angelo was an absolute star. He kept us entertained with good conversation and plenty of laughs whilst serving us delicious, expertly crafted cocktails. Thank you so much to the staff at the Stables Bar and also The Milestone (who welcomed us with open arms and a smile, despite being very underdressed and coming in off the street soaking wet from the rain - they even dried my coat whilst we drank in the bar.) I can't wait to return to the Milestone and the Stables Bar.

    Have been here twice over the past year. Last time, we were served by the lovely Victoria. The drinks and atmosphere are charming. We went as a group but really would recommend to couples.

    A genuinely exceptional old fashioned with impeccable service and perfect presentation. The decor is beautiful and gives a great cosy feel. The emblem on the ice was a great, small touch that made a difference. Very much recommended as a relaxing place for a drink.

    Bit of a hidden gem! Staff are exceptional. Angelo and Lilo both remembered my name and drink from a while back. Cocktails are truly unique creations: an experience in a glass. Want to try something rare and special, this is your place.

    We owe the two lovely bartenders this long-overdue review. Me and my sister had an amazing time last month at the Stables. We were transported into another period, the decor was timeless, cosy and warm. The bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. The drinks were delicious, just faultless! We look forward to coming back soon. Thank you for a marvellous night.

    If you love your Whisky, then look no further. Beautifully crafted cocktails, to match the stunning ambience. And look how pretty the drinks were.

    Old school cool - if you want a friendly, fancy, intimate London hotel bar experience, definitely check out Stable's bar. Angelo and the team are the perfect hosts, and you could easily lose an evening or two in here.

    Fantastic service, excellent location and nice atmosphere. There’s nothing bad to tell about this place, excellent for a date night or even for drinks on your own. The staff is so helpful that you won’t feel lonely or out of the place. The bar is nice, clean and very posh.

    We went here for Christmas night, and it was a great spot. Beautiful bar, incredible cocktails, and the most engaging servers. They squeezed us in last minute and went above and beyond to make it a special night. They are famous for their old fashion, and the drink (and production with delivery) was amazing. Every cocktail we had was so good, and the service was incredible. The food was good, not great (and quite pricey). Would order the chicken pot pie and nicoise salad again. The chicken soup was quite overpriced ($30) and bland and the Caesar salad was underwhelming. Overall, absolutely worth coming here for the drinks and the experience, but chose dinner items carefully.

    Wandered in off the street to have birthday cocktails. We were warmly welcomed by the delightful Antonia who went above and beyond to make it a memorable visit, even bringing out a birthday platter. We would love to return

  • 5/5 Samuel T. 2 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Thank you Angelo for an exquisite selection of cocktails. The time and care taken into explaining each one is truly a part of what makes the service great. Also the willingness to share the recipe for the peanut butter vodka, which I can’t wait to make for myself!

    What an exceptional experience at Staples Bar. Angelo is an amazing bartender who creates well balanced and delicious cocktails. The cocktails are creative and playful. Cristian and the other waiter were extremely attentive and we felt as if we were all old friends Thank you for an exceptional evening.

    We came here after an evening at The Royal Albert Hall and it was absolutely amazing. The cocktails were great, both on and off menu. The bar snacks were a lovely touch and the service was top tier. Thank you Milestone team!!
