mood Elegance; signature green decor; stylish and sophisticated; stained glass, black and white stills, and plush green velvet seats.
Emerald green velvet seats. Walls of black-and-white stills (from none other than Terence Donovan). Heavenly stained glass windows. And a bar you’d expect the bartender to slide a drink down. Hopes of bartending tricks aside, Donovan Bar at Brown’s Hotel stands to have as much substance as it does style. With a cocktail menu coming straight from the master himself (that’s Salvatore Calabrese), sip on libations inspired by the greats – iconic people, moments, authors, actors and musicians, that is. Classic or modern? Warm and spicy or fresh vibrant? Shaken or stirred? Well, that’s all up to you.

Without tradition, there can be no innovation. This is the guiding principle that inspired Federico Pavan and his team to create our new menu of classic drinks, revived with modern techniques and fresh ingredients. Rediscover the cocktails you love, our way.
Margarita Blush: £25 / £16. Ingredients include Espolòn Blanco Tequila, Purple carrots, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, Montelobos Mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde, and Herbs Cordial. Described as a bold, floral rendition of a timeless favourite; earthy, refreshing, and floral.
Drinks at the Brown's Hotel bar are served in gimmicky glassware – no Mayfair snootiness here, then. The setting is also playful, paying homage to the swinging sixties and with cocktails conjured up by mixmaster Salvatore Calabrese. It’s a pricey spot, but a good shout in hotel land when out of the ordinary is what you’re after.

You’ll find this photography-filled bar in Brown’s Hotel. Its pedigree is summed up by its bartender: Salvatore Calabreso. Known as ‘il maestro’ in the industry, he is the creator of the Breakfast Martini and once held the world record for the most expensive cocktail ever created (£5,500 if you were wondering). You’ll find both on the menu at Donovan, which is named after '60s photographer Terence Donovan and is fittingly filled with his works. Insider’s tip: if you’re not in the mood to splash five grand on Salvatore’s Legacy, try something from the new Evoke cocktail menu – a selection of tipples designed to provoke physical sensations in the drinker.
