Enjoy a seasonal cocktail

As the seasons change at The Athenaeum, so does our Bar menu. Much like our chefs in the kitchen, our team at The Bar thrive on using seasonal ingredients in their cocktails. Whether it’s a scotch based cocktail for Burns Night or a fragrant floral cocktail for the Chelsea Flower Show, we have the perfect tipple waiting for you all year round.

MEET THE TEAM

Meet our Head Bartender, Alex Aber. As well as previously working at The Crown at Bray and Coppa Club, Alex’s previous work includes creating his own cocktail company, Doorstep Bartender. Alex has a passion for dreaming up brilliant new concoctions out of thin air and will be shaking up a brand new cocktail menu for The Bar at The Athenaeum. But his ambitions don’t stop there. Alex is determined to put our bar on the map as the go-to spot for drinks in Mayfair. An integral part of visiting a good bar is social interaction, which is something Alex enjoys thoroughly, being a self-confessed ‘people person’. So don’t be shy, come on down and say hello!
